Call Recording app needed... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I have purchased the CallRecorder (from skvalex), the program can be trigger by a phone call, but it did not record anything.

we will have to wait for the kernel dev's to see if they can come up w/ a patch.
bought callrecorder too.

Google Voice lets you record calls.

i'm aware of that.
but there are humans outside of the US that got the galaxy nexus as well.

has anyone tried total recall from killermobile.com
they have solutions for the gs2, so am wondering if it may work for the gn?

I have tried their Total Recall. It records only caller's side like all other call recording apps I tried.
EDIT:
Just noticed what I wrote here. I meant your side (side of the person who installed the app.).

Ill wait for one to be included in a custom rom.
Had it on one of the Darky 9.0 roms back on the i9000. Worked great.

Desperately desires this as well...

Will we receive kernel with 2way recording included?

Anyone has a clue if this could be eventually solved with enabling some feature in kernel config, or is this actually firmware or hardware issue?
Almost sure it is not so simple to be solved with simple kernel recompilation... But since I am pretty new here (android land), I hadn't enough time to get know things, evaluate enviroment etc.

I'd also love to have the call recorder from skvalex working on this. I'm holding off on getting the GN until this feature works.

Work in progress... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422779

Callrecorder by Skvalex - Have you got it to work on Toro?

I've read throughout most of the call recording threads regarding the Gnex, but I've yet to see someone comment on it succesfully working 100% of the time on the CDMA (Toro) version of the phone. It appears that most of the success stories I'm reading are on the GSM version. It does work on my CDMA (Toro) version of the phone, but just not reliably every time. It does not always record the other side of the conversation. Here is my experience with the app:
My setup:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro)
Rom - CM9 (Latest Nightly)
Steps I've done for Callrecorder:
1. Installed Busybox under the xbin location.
2. Installed AlsaMixer.
3. Installed Callrecorder. Set to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro). And set it to record via Alsa.
It seems that it's about 50% chance it will record both sides and about 50% chance that it won't. I've cleared cache, data, uninstalled, rebooted phone and reinstalled and this did not help either.
Any comments regarding this app working successfully or not on Toro would be appreciated.
Other than the radio's, are there any differences between the Gnex variants that might cause this behavior?
Anyone?
It worked fine for me on Toro on an ICS rom. It didn't work on a JB rom. Just for laughs, I tried it anyway even though Skvalex says in the app description (caps in the original): THIS APP IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH JELLY BEAN.
Which rom/kernel combo were you using (although I know with the alsa method it shouldn't matter)? It slays me how this app just sometimes records both sides. I'm not using juice defender, app killer's or battery saver's. I'm wondering if something is interfering though. Any thoughts?

I eventually gave up on Toro and got away from VZW altogether. Sorry but I never found a reliable recording solution on Toro.

[Q] [q] In call recording?

Rom/kernel capable of in call recording for the glide?
Are there any available? Curious because I need it for a circumstance.
Im looking in development myself but its a pain since im somewhat homeless and using XDA from an ipod touch at a mcdonalds is no fun. no xda app for ipod
If you mean recording incoming and outgoing audio, this is a hardware specific feature. Most devices do not support this for security reasons. Your best bet would be speakerphone + a recording app on the phone or iPod, however I don't know if the two will work at the same time.
A software app I used in ICS was called Autocall recorder. It recorded calls I made.

You could buy Tasker (I think it's $2.99) and then follow this guide .
I think though, that it can only record incoming OR outgoing calls, not both at once.
<EDIT>
Nevermind, I found that too.
Here.
You'll also need some introduction to Tasker, but I'm sure Google can help you with that.

Can someone please test skvalex's call recorder?

I'm very interested in grabbing this phone but I heard that LG devices sometimes have issues with this application. Can someone test Skvalex's Call Recorder for me before I buy it?
Trial of app is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1443730003
If you can test recording both incoming and outgoing that'd be awesome. I greatly appreciate the help!

it's not possible to test this until there is a working root for this phone. As yet, there isn't.

Oh hmmm. I guess I'll have to wait on that until we have root. Hopefully someone will be able to root it soon so it can be tested.
am testing as we speak but not having much success so far.
Have root and SU 2.52 and it can record but very distorted and unusable http://vocaroo.com/i/s1uCkmxeoAuX
that's with moto x pure edition settings going to have a play around and test some more
will report back
1. LG G4 standard api voice call uplink and downlink
2. Moto x pure ed. ALSA microphone http://vocaroo.com/i/s1uCkmxeoAuX
3. Nexus 5 (original) CAF http://vocaroo.com/i/s0XaaBlHagTH
So far nothing else has worked one or two recorded just my end and most refused to record at all.
Messaged skvalex on this already. Awaiting his response. Don't want to root phone amid reports of the e-fuse

CallRecorder by skvalex operating flawlessly!

I just picked up my SM-G935T and have found the settings which enables CallRecorder to operate flawlessly from the line, and not the mic.
I've posted about this over in the CallRecorder thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66232332&postcount=5105.
I'll repost the settings I'm using, below. Let me know if they work for you.
Device -
Samsung Galaxy 7 Edge (T-Mobile - SM-G935T)
Recording Method - Standard API
Standard API settings:
Audio source - Voice call uplink + downlink
Recording format - WAV
I hadn't even thought to try.. Thanks!!

Anytime
I've been using CR for years and was disappointed to read that there was no success recording from the line with the Samsung 7 Edge. Was one of the reasons for rethinking whether to purchase the device. I figured if it ain't working now, perhaps I'll find settings that work and/or Skvalex will hopefully find a solution as his customer support is excellent.
I purchased the S7 Edge and installed CR and initially the results were the same as I have read for everyone else; recording through the mic. I started trying different settings and I was like, Wow!, this is great when these settings worked. I tried it several times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Well, thanks to you it automatically prompted me to use the settings you posted above. Skvalex is a wonderful dev and very very supportive!!
I've owned the app for over 4 years now and it is constantly updated and supported... I can't say i know of any other (non google) apps that have been around and supported that long!!!

Excellent!
I've been in contact with Skvalex for the past couple of weeks regarding CR compatibility with the S7 Edge. I immediately notified him of my findings. He is one of the best supportive developers out there. I've been trouble shooting with him over the years regarding logcats, etc., and it's always a pleasure to communicate with him. Glad to see he incorporated the changes so quickly. This will make many people happy :good:

Good find! A bit expensive but it's a good app!
Works here too flawless! Im glad I paid for this app, awesome dev.

I did notice that random intermittent calls are not recorded or even showing up in the call recording logs. I think it could be because I do not have root. (nobody has root with the 935T yet tmk) I haven't isolated what is in common with the calls that are being skipped though.. I have triple checked all the settings. making sure that it is set for all calls I/B and O/B and no filtering, etc... Perhaps when a caller calls inbound and the screen was locked it may not have permissions to run? I have made it device admin. any one else experience this? but other than this, yes, flawless. excellent work!

May or may not be related, but I was experiencing similar symptoms, although the calls would show in the CallRecorder recording list. I couldn't figure it out for a short while. The CR active recording icon would show and the call would show in the CallRecorder list, but with 0:00 recorded.
The cause of this issue was that I would have Smart Voice Recorder active which conflicted with CR recording the conversation. I use SVR often and have to be aware if it's active.
CallRecorder has been working flawlessly on my SM-G935T
using default settings or did you change some? it works for me but the volume is too low when i play recordings back
I'm not getting anything recorded. Still trying to play with settings.
----
Tried using posted settings, not working for me. Could you double check settings? I tried playing around with the settings and most I could get was voice through my phone. Couldn't make outgoing calls but could get calls. Will try to play with settings more tomorrow, apparently it's frowned upon to be calling my family at 10pm, but would like to know where to start.
-----
Alright I got it working great now.
Had to do some manual configuration but everything is recording properly and clearly now.
Took some screenshots of my settings. Hope this helps others.
I'm using bold beast. Works perfect!

On the Voice call uplink & downlink setting, I had the other party say I was cutting out on them. In other words, my voice was clipping. After troubleshooting, I attributed this to Voice uplink, which is the channel my voice goes over.
I changed my settings to -
Standard API
Main
Audio source
Voice communications*
* this is the setting I changed.
I had a slight issue which Skvalex found a solution for, and mentioned that he would be changing this to be the default for the Samsung Galaxy S7 & S7 Edge.
Yes I recently bought the app and so far so good with the settings here.

Call Recording on Pixel 2 XL?

Hey guys, has anyone found a successful way to get call recording on the Pixel 2 XL? All the apps look like they're working but if you play them back it only has the Pixel 2 out going voice recorded--the other side of the conversation (the person you're call or received a call from) is not recorded. Anyone find a way around this or an app that is successful? I loved ACR on my other phones but it won't work on Pixel 2 XL.

This was a deal breaker for me as call recording is significant to my work. I ended up returning the Pixel 2 and going back to my LG V20 and am much happier.

Yes, I am rooted, but not using the root method of recording. I'm using the 'android' method. It should work without root.
EDIT: yeah, I just checked. The root method is not even checked and is grayed out. Also, using the AMR audio format.

Ok. Yeah it does not work for me now, but it was before! I used Titanium backup to restore my data and it was fine. But then there was an issue with playing back files from the app. So I reset the options and still assumed it was working. Anyhow, I am now using the root method of recording and that appears to be the only method that works. Sorry for the misinformation
I'm using call recorder from skvalex. It's a paid app but it works perfectly with root. You can install the app from the play store but you have to download the root module from XDA site. It has a 7 day free trial.

+1. I switched to ACR from total recall and it's way better! Also works without root. Well, I'm rooted, but the app does not prompt, nor does their seem to be a setting to even grant root. Works perfectly though. Here are my settings...
Just to update, I put the audio source to Voice_Comunication
And the other side of call is clearer.
been playing with settings before posting hope you find the same is true?

Hi, thanks for support. And best quality voice recording for "Audio gain (7dB)" select ...
Thanks again ...
Hello guys, it seems it doesn't work on Android P. According to ACR devs it won't work on the official release version either.. Do you have any working alternatives on Android P?
I have the Lifetime sub for Parrot and was excited to try out the Call Recording, but it's doing the same thing, only recording my side of the calls. I also have it set to Voice Communication but nope, Android P doesn't like call recording. It's a luxury for me, so not a huge issue, but thought it would be nice to record important calls so I can review them / make notes / reminders later, etc... Back to the good ole' notepad and pen nearby routine, lol.
+1 for ACR !
Only issue is, once in a while - it doesn't record the other end of the call. Only my end.
It's totally random, and sometimes pretty messed up if it misses an important call.
I'm using the Call Recorder app from F Droid, works great, use aac under encoding and I'm able to hear both voices.
ACR works fine on Oreo, unfortunately on P it does not, nor will it due to Google/Android P restricting access to microphone on third party apps.
I've got Pixel 2 XL, Android P and just tried ACR with the settings from the screen shot in earlier post and it works fine, records both sides.
Hmmmm, strange that it's working on Android P as Google in their official statement has stated that going forward ( From Android P ) their will not a non-root method of call recording. Search google its everywhere.
