[Q] Recording phone calls possible? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am wondering how i can go about recording phone calls on my note 2? I need to start recording phone calls from my cable company and some credit collectors...
Ive seen alot of places saying that you must be running a custom rom and a custom kernal, But i would not liek to root my note 2 or lose any of the data on it, or run into the issues ive had in the past with running custom firmware.
Is this possible from stock?

There's a mod that enables an inbuilt call recording button on the incall menu. This needs root. No idea how well they work. Sometimes these things have issues recording your side of the call.

Where could i find this? Also, I am not so concerned with my side, I just want to make sure it gets THEM and what THEY say clearly, so when people try to change their stories, which happens too much now adays and then suddnely, they cant pull my last call due to system errors or something...i wanna be able to say "Well, let me pull MY copy of the conversation, shall we?"

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31987959&postcount=8 Is J on the list. Sadly the Villainrom site which holds most of the mods has been down for some time now. There was a temporary site setup somewhere. If you are yet to root, I found Dr Ketan's other posts on this very helpful.

I would definitely use Xposed framework and call recording mod since this only ENABLES what is already built in Note II, there is no extra software running, slowing down your phone etc. And it is logical to assume it works better then 3rd party apps which weren't specifically written for SGNII.
As far as ROOT is concerned I really don't see how it can affect anything, especially what root has in common with messages being deleted etc. It must have been something else. Root has no impact on your phone's functionality, it only removes protection to system files (or better said, changes it from unavailable to available via prompt from the SU app, so there stil is some protection). There is excellend sticky by dr ketan (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896696) on how to root SGNII.

So where can i get the xposed framwork and mod again?
And I am certain it was not the root, but i only noticed it on my s3 after i rooted. Not attributing it to the fact, but i didnt like it none the less, because i lost alot of messages and i couldnt send one or two messages wihtout rebooting every 5 seconds, and most hte time that didnt even fix it.

First read the excellent thread on rooting, triangle away. After you root (trust me it is not difficult, you just have to take your time, read it through a couple of times) here is xposed thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012770. The modules are located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189965. The one you need is either "Enable Call Recording" or "Exposed TweakBOx", they both enable call recording but TweakBox can do a few more things.
And the best thing is there are a lot of modules for other things, and once you root and install xposed, you don't have to flash them - they're installed as normal APKs.

Best app for crystal clear recording is sanity download it from playstore and set to recording mode from mic to phone..... it works like charm I am using it....

[Q] How to block stuff on the Evo

I have an HTC Evo that I am going to give to my daughter to use as an ipod basically. It will not be activated and I know it won't make any calls but I want to know if there is a way to do away with the phone icon all together so I don't have to worry about her accidently calling 911 or even *2. Does anyone know of a way or rom that I need that can do this??
Just use Titanium Backup to remove the phone apk., if you're rooted.
Delete the dialer
Sent From My Pocket
To delete the dialer do I need a specific rom because I have tried to delete stock stuff before with stock rooted rom and various other roms and it wouldn't work.
As far as with titanium backup do I just freeze the apk?? I have tried freezing some before and the whole phone just froze but that was also with a customer rom not a stock rooted phone.
er, think what you are saying - you're taking something that could be used to save her life and yours and disabling it.
Just tell her not to use it, *2 isn't going to do anything other than maybe connect her to someone who will ask for pass codes to reactivate...
for one she is only seven and doesn't need to be able to make any calls what so ever. And two the only time she will have it is when she is with me, either at our house or when we leave but she is only allowed to have it when she is with me so she will never need actually use it for an emergency. And I know what *2 will do but I know her and she will sit there and keep calling to have conversations with them. She has done it in the past with my fiancees phone. If she was actually going to be taking it to her mothers or to school absolutely it would ne fully activated and I would only limit the calls that she can make by disabling all others numbers but she isn't it will be used strictly as an ipod like device and only when she is with me.
Use an app that will block certain apps with a passcode. Lock the dialer, contacts, and anything that there's no reason to use but that you can't remove. There are tons of apps with this functionality on the Market. I think there's one or two featured for free on Getjar.
You can also use Titanium Backup or a free alternative to freeze apps. This way you can test what your rom can do without. If it's only going to be used for media/games, I'd put something light, like CM7 on it. This will help with battery life and performance, and a lot of the apps that you don't need aren't installed stock.

[Q] Enough is enough! Need help with galaxy note 2 bugs/issues please!

Ok, firstly I apologize if these have been covered before but I need help with a few issues with my galaxy note 2 that Ive sure you guys have noticed as well. Im no expert but I have had android phones for a few years so I do know the basics. Im thinking it might be time to root/rom or whatever my phone because I think the issues I am having are bugs in the software though I have never attempted such a feat, havent really had a reason to until now. I absolutely love this phones, its super awesome, one of the best ive had but there are a few nagging issues I have that Im not sure if its just me or the software, usually Im pretty good with tech stuff. Have a samsung galaxy note 2 on att network android version 4.1.2 and ive searched around a little and best I can tell the newer version i have has changed some menu options which I cannot find and caused or not fixed some of my other issues.
1. I am unable to adjust the locations of the options on the screen when you pull it down from the top such as wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode and whatnot. Near as I can tell it was possible to organize them in the order you wanted before the update that added multiscreen support and it seems multiscreen support options under settings has taken place of the setting to adjust these icons and I cannot find anywhere to change them. Have you guys noticed this? how is it possible to change them or are they stuck now?
2. The media player auto playing when connecting to my bluetooth sync system in my ford F150 is kinda neat but highly annoying as it auto starts the player when it connects whether I want it to or not, and usually I do not because I rarely use my phone to play audio via bluetooth and when i do its through my Sirius XM app or pandora or some other media player and its highly annoying having to end the default media player and start play on my preferred app every time I shut off and restart my truck, or disconnect and reconnect bluetooth if you prefer. Is there a way to get this default app to NOT auto start playing every time it connects to bluetooth? I have been unable to find such an option and its getting on my nerves and draining my battery when I dont even want it on, GRRR!!
3. Pretty sure this one is a software bug/change but every android phone Ive ever had auto sets a 15 minute time reminder when I enter a calendar entry, which Ive gotten used to and is awesome as far as im concerned because an entry without a reminder is worthless. I have to turn on a reminder manually every time and have not been able to find any setting to change to revert this back to the normal experience that im used to on my at least 4 previous android phones. I have gotten used to manually turning it on now but its still annoying and i would like to be able to skip this step to save time as I use the calendar reminder features daily.
Thats all i can think of for right now, but im sure theres some I forgot. Hoping some of you experts can hook me up with some easy fixes to these issues or point me in the right direction of how to resolve them if possible, thanks a million!
Whew!!
One hell of a post there ...
An easy solution to the majority of your device issues would be...
Flashing back to the factory shipping rom...
It is pushed to the device via Odin.
I believe the rom is UCALJ2...
In the development section, under the "everything" thread, you will find the rom listed above.
There you will also find Odin, its PC drivers, and instructions to restore the device to pure stock.
The recent updates to the device will be removed, and following the Odin flash, the device will be pure stock and have no personal data...(fair warning)
From that point, to prevent the updates from appearing again, the update application must be frozen by using titanium backup or an app capable of rendering the update application null.
This process must be done with care ...and not before you understand what you are doing.
The steps in those threads are complete, but you must learn them first.
Happy reading and learning ....and happy flashing ....g
Your right. ..time to root it and add a custom rom. The new Jedi is awesome. . (shameless plug. ...lol)

Verizon can read everything on my phone. How do I remove their ability? Debloater?

I had issues with my new Verizon Note 4 and used the debloater tool previously to remove Verizon's ability to read my phone at will. It seems the software update gave them the ability again.
In my conversation, he read all my side loaded apps / Google store apps. Are there certain things I need to disable? It's really serious when they can read everything at will and them use wrong information to deny me a warranty claim..

Disable or delete the MyVerizon app because that is the one they use to look for problems on your phone, I'd nix MyInfozone too. I'm rooted so I deleted all the Verizon apps.

Thanks, I am in the Debloater tool now.
I found Myinfozone.apk just cant seem to find MyInfoZone. Any other ones you recommend? What do you use to locate your phone btw in case it ever gets lost / stolen? Just a side question so I don't accidentally nix that.

You have the correct app. As for locating your phone that is done through Samsung if you created a account and signed up for the location service when you set your phone up. I can't remember what app it because I do not use anything like that.

Call Record

I anyone have any luck with getting the recording of calls back up an running? I have memory issues and used to record my calls so that I can go back and listen to what was said so I can write down the important things that I miss. Searching around it says that we need to root our devices, which I have done, but can't seem to find a program or setting to allow for the recording of conversations, legally of course.

Are you recommending that app because you know for sure that it works with rooted phone running Android Pie? Because it doesn't work for me; Pixel 3 isn't listed under their list of phones (root required or not) and I'm guessing because it doesn't work with Pie.
Google's being a d-bag about the whole call recording thing on Pie, eliminating the work-around that let the usual apps work (ACR is/was my go-to).

It sucks I was using acr forever and it worked great until this phone. And it seems that most of the programs that require root require supersu not magisk and the one program that did mention magisk as a possibility was highly geared for a certain rom only.
I ended up going with boldbeast recorder. It was able to get root and it seems to be working pretty good. Thanks a bunch for the ideas!

It actually does seem to work. It was able to find root and it is recording calls like acr was before.
There is a hel thread within boldbeast that takes you to their site and provides the appropriate settings to get the program to work specifically on the Pixel 3.

I tried half a dozen recommended apps last night and Boldbeast was the only one I could get to work using the rooted options and their Also recording option as discussed here.
I am however having some problems with their cloud sync options.
I would like to find a working recorder that has cloud sync and only a one time purchase fee.
I've tried a number of call recording apps including Call Recorder by @skvalex and Boldbeast recorder and am unable to get anything except for silent recordings on either of them.
I am on a Google Pixel 3XL that is rooted with Magisk, but not on a custom rom. I am running Android 10 with the May 2020 security patch level.
Does anyone have a solution for an automated call recorder that works?
Thanks!

The first one you mentioned should be working just fine, so long as configured properly.
Read the last couple pages of that thread and it should help...

After doing more reading and some trial and error, I still don't have a fully functional solution, but I may have made some progress.
I installed Call Recorder by @skvalex version 3.3.6 as a Magisk Module.
By setting it to
-Main:Standard API
-Standard API:Audio source: * [ROOT] CAF
-Recording format: WAV
-Device: Qualcomm (Android 10)
-Sample Rate:8000 Hz (Default)
-Recording mode: Auto
-Don't use AMR driver: (checked)
-When BT connected...: Do Nothing
-Switch ALSA controls: (not checked)
I get a recording of only my side of the conversation. There is no audio for the person calling me.
I tried many other audio sources and devices, all of them lead to completely silent recordings.
Thanks again for the help and suggestions!

I have been using @Skalex for years over multiple phones I paid for it in fact.
A recent update in the Magisk Module changed the Audio Source from what had always been Root CAF to Voice Call uplink + downlink

ADB AppControl (a very useful tool if you unsure how to debloat your phone)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...easy-management-android-applications-t4147837
What a great program, I just had a little play,I'm no expert by any means (quite the opposite).
As a quick experiment I deleted everything bixby related on my new Samsung Galaxy FE 5G, all deleted no problem.
I rebooted the phone, no issues and confirmed no bixby. I then easily reinstalled bixby (as I backed it up as suggested) easily.
This was just a simple experiment to see if your program would work for me, it is very straight forward for anyone thinking of using it.
There is also an instruction manual if you need it.
Just thought I would post this here in the hope it would help some of you out, I just stumbled across it.
Apologies to those who don't need it and have moe knowledge than me.
Agreed. It's so much easier to use this program to debloat
Universal Android Debloater(adb) 2022
Thanks for sharing!
Wanted to share: If you deblot with AppControl and the presets, double check what you are doing. In the uninstall preset you will lose the settings for WIfi Calling for example.
