Call recording issue - Lenovo Vibe P1 Questions & Answers

I am trying to use an alternative app for call recording from google play, because the inbuilt app is very bad without many features.
I have installed and tested many apps but none works properly.
Most of them can normally record only my voice.
I tried to freeze the stock app but the problem remains.
Call recording is very important for me. It's a reason to buy another phone.
Any idea to solve the problem?

also call recording is is very important for me but the stock call recording app is good enough for me so i did not try to use any other app.

Stock app is terrible.
How will you find a recorded discussion after some days?
Stock app does not save the records including the contact name but only the time. For that reason, stock app is useless.
I don't want to change rom, I am trying to find a solution.
Look at this link, it seems that it is a general problem of marshmallow:
Android 6 has issues with call recording, this is mainly due to permission change on the audio source required to make call recording.
VOICE_CALL audio source is the real call recording audio source that outputs incoming+outgoing audio to call recording apps.
Traditionally accessing VOICE_CALL source only required RECORD_AUDIO permission, unfortunately Android 6 seem to have changed this and access to VOICE_CALL audio now requires CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT which only available system apps that come with your phone.

I have freezed the stock app.
I have tested many different call recording apps from google play.
I have converted these apps to system apps.
I tested all the different recording sources at the setting of each app.
None works!
Is there any solution for this problem of Marshmallow?

I do not have this problem.
My phone saves the recordings in different folders, with the names on it and looks like this:
/Audio/Recorder/Contact_Name_phone_number/Rec_2016-12-24_17-29-07.amr
And for the sound, the recordings are good.
Look at the permitions, maybe the app can't access your contacts, to write folders name. If this dont work....
My advice to you is:
1. First try to reset the phone to factory defaults.
If this dont work,
2. Try to reflash the default firmware and try again.
I still have stock firmware, non rooted.

[Q] Does SGS2 support proper call recording ?

So, i'm about to get a new phone which MAY be an SGS2.
However i need to know if it can record calls properly, without all this external speaker bull**** ?
Currently i own SGS and its useless in this regard.
If SGS2 doesnt record properly, which of new dualcores does ?
Yes it does. Just use CallRecorder from the market.
CallRecorder works great on the S2, the quality of the sound is perfect. The downside is that when you transfer the wav. file to your laptop, the file format is not recognised.
I have downloaded some software to my pc that converts wav format to mp3 but the file is still not recognised.
Any advice please.
There seems to be quite a few CallRecorder apps on the market, could you please give a market link to the one you are referring too please.
Call recorder has a little green android next to it in market.

No, it doesnt
Killer mobile have just updated their Total Recall app for android and cleared out a couple bugs, this now seems to work just fine for me. It also has the option to record in 3gp, wav, mp3, amr, plus you can auto upload to evernote or e-mail out through gmail.
Call quality is pretty good, only downside is it will not work with blue tooth head sets, correction it does work and record but you cant hear the person your talking to but the recording comes out fine lol.
Ill try the other one recommended here and see if its any better on the quality side but best thing for me with TR is you can set it to prompt at the end of the call to save or not so routine calls or family ones can be deleted without taking up space, you can also use as a dictaphone with a instant record button widget and remote sms into it to record when you have left it in a room and want to know what's been said if your feeling a little paranoid lol.
Is there any free call recorder which works without having to install new ROM?
I use stock 2.3.3 ROM and would like to continue using stock ROM.
I saw "audio hack" on forum - is it needed?
Maybe I have to upgrade to 2.3.5?
Maybe I need kernel supporting it (I use Speedmod)?
I've tried 5 programs and all of them doesn;t record anything or records silence. (dind't try TotalRecall because it isn't free).
alternatively you can try MIUI rom which comes with build in call recording. =)
I don't want MIUI, I don't want alternative ROM, I only need to know why sometimes call recording works, and sometimes doesn't. Is it ROM problem, kernel problem, lack of libraries problem?

I use callrecorder from svalec, it works perfectly with stock kernel.
Total Recall with recording strategy C works perfect.

Please stop spamming about Total Recall, all threads about call recording are full of that. Total Recall isn't free and I ask for a free solution.

4.4 Camera Issues *HELP*

Hello and thanks for your time! I have the SGH-I317 and I am having problems with my camera when I flash a AOSP ROM. The 4.4 KitKat camera is not working for me, but when I flash back to a TouchWiz ROM everything is fine. Here are the apps and the problems associated with them:
-SnapChat: Taking pictures works fine, but when recording video it will only record a second or two
-Instagram: Pictures are fine, but the video is distorted and zoomed in
-Vine: The app doesn't even recognize that i have a video camera
-When trying to take a video to attach to a mms message it give me this: (SEE ATTACHED) (I've tried Hangouts and the stock messaging)
And the crazy thing is, when i open the video camera through the camera app, it works fine.
ALSO, When any app that needs access to the camera/video camera is open, there is a horrible screeching sound that comes out of the headset speaker, I will record a video so you can hear what I am talking about. Also notice how the video is fine besides the screeching when opening through the camera app.
(SEE VIDEO HERE: dropbox (DOT) com/sc/2gdbf352ghf7imu/fNWWukGnIz)

@bbasketballer75
Wrong section sir.
You need to delete this and post in questions and answers thread. This section is for developers to post roms..NOT for questions
Thanks
Also..its a known bug for those apps for 4.4 roms. No fix right now.

Yes, the sure, simple solution is to use a stock rom. 100% compatible with those time bandit apps.
THis is exactly why I am on a 4.3 ROM (Ditto Note) most of the time. The stock camera in the kitkat roms doesn't work smoothly for me.

If only that were a solution for me. (using an older custom rom)
I seem to have this issue on any rom BESIDES the stock rom. Its buggy across the mentioned apps, and it never works on the MMS "capture video" setting. This isn't a big deal as it only aggravates my OCD, but my bank recently installed some photo detection software on their mobile app and I can no longer deposit checks due to the buggy nature of the camera.
If you, or anyone else here knows of a rom that is FULLY compatible with the GN2 camera, can you please post it here? Im willing to go back in time.
I wish that developers would fully work out the bugs in X.3 before moving on to X.4, but i appreciate their hard work.

Google camera port with Hdr+ (abandoned)

This is kinda work in progress port of Gcam with hdr+ for arm devices. it's based on google camera version 4.2.035.141213305-arm.
it needs camera api 2 enabled. you can enable it via flashing the zip I've attached or add below line into build.prop.
Code:
persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1
Stock rom is preferred, but it should work on all roms as long as above requirement is met.
Google camera apk
Please let me know if auto/touch focus works or not. happy testing :good:
Credit : @defcomg
Requires TWRP for flashing zip. or root for manually editing build.prop
So the moto g5s doesn't have the api enabled by default? The file can't be downloaded BTW.

As it turns out.
Camera stopped working right on start
Nice! Works here.
But, I got some problems at my first test - Google Camera apk from OP link;
- Back camera resolution: in the app, the res are 12.1 (16:9) mpx, in face of the real 16mpx (4:3)
- Slow mode crashes every time
- Panorama seems don't run as well
Anyway, I feel the focus are, now, amazing! I had a Moto G5 - Cedric in the begginin of 2017. Now, I got the Montana, but, always the same problem: Strange focus. In macro, i mean.

Can you add this to los14.1?
HRD+ works really for the images, but there seems to be a tint when capturing images without HDR
Good thanks, but there's one issue:
as soon as camera api 2 is enabled Whatsapp, OpenCamera, Moto Kamera report "media format is not supported" at recording video, guess there's a codec missing then.
No mather if stock or linageOS.
Only Footej Camera is able to record video. Anyone else?

search in build.prop this line:

put the package name of apps that are not working well with camera2api, like this:

the listed apps will use the old api
I can't record video with neither gcamera nor stock camera. I already delete the cache and data, but still doesn't work. What can I do?

Is internal audio/system sounds recording possible?

I like to play games and want to record internal audio for games to post it on youtube but i am unable to find any app to record internal sounds and record screen at same time. In redmi 4(santoni) latest miui developer rom there is a option of recording system sounds in miui screen recorder and it works perfect but this option is not available in redmi note 5 pro stable / dev rom.
Can anyone make this option available in miui screen recorder for whyred?
RN5 doesn't have internal audio record support in default screen recorder. But Mobizen Screen Recorder support it, and surprisingly without the need to root. But still I don't really trust the app, so if you choose to use it, better restrict the mobile data/wifi access.

Are you sure about mobizen? Or it needs the external headphones from them? I think only samsung and lg support internal audio recording in mobizen. Hmmm

Very sure, no external device needed. At least it is recording the internal audio in RR 6.1. Play some music and cover the speaker, the volume stay the same in the recording result. RN4 actually has supported the internal audio recording by default. The feature disappear in RN5. Somehow Mobizen can do it without the need to root or disabling the SELinux.

Use the mobizen for Samsung it will record internal audio but the drawback is that you cannot hear the gameplay sound while playing it which is not suitable for games like PUBG

I am sorry, I can't reproduce the internal audio recording result anymore. Strange that last time I tried it, covering the speaker won't lower the volume. Now it does (so now it is mic recording). Probably when I test it before, I am still on RR the old build from July. The latest build from august probably patch it up. I don't know, but sorry I don't wanna to go back to previous RR build just to test this. As I am not using it. I am using the latest version of mobizen at the time I test it.

What ROM do you use? I only try it for a while, as I caught the app is running background all the time. Since I don't need it, uninstall is the best solution.

My main issue is, the audio recording does not work on video recording. I did test with the latest 6.1 ported apk "GoogleCamera_6.1.009.215420794-beta2.apk" , but the problem persists. Sound works on Panaroma mode in the said app but no audio is recorded in the video files I record..
The microphone is fine. I tested it with footej camera and it does just fine. Stereo recording works.
Currently I am on the 5.2 port as it was installed seperately. I am attaching a logcat. please let me know if anything else is needed. Made a .zip file... it had become 4+ MB.
Edit: I got a log with the latest app. Sorry, forgive me for being a noob! Take a look at logcat2.zip :|

Hey Everything is working fine in my device with audio recording in video.
Have you set video quality to 4k for back and 1080p front?
Try clearing data of app and followed by setting don't forget to grant all permission to the app

Umm, I tried, didn't work. Audio works in panorama, not in video. I guess it has something to do with the audio source. Footej does not record audio with an audio source named "Audio source tuned for video recording" but does fine with the "default" setting.
I don't think its entirely a hardware issue though! :/
I've downloaded GCam from somewhere. I don't remember from where I downloaded it but everything works fine. Video Recording also works fine and also the camera quality is very good. I can provide you the link.

After September security patch update, the camera issue was fixed. It was due to a older build number. Currently Audio works in videos for Google Camera.
This new port is working almost fine.....
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950.apk
6.2
Everything worked good for me! I just wanted to check if we can be the 6.2 update (The one with the photobooth)
It worked fine in the beginning for like 2 days, but now it crashes as soon as i open the app
This is the new gcam 6.2, seems working fine...
https://f.celsoazevedo.com/file/gcamera/Gcam_6.2.024_Advanced_V2.0.190420.0415.apk
Slow motion and Portrait mode not working
The recent update link posted above enables you for Ver 6.2 but app gets stopped if we use portrait and slow motion mode kindly rectify
And can you suggest how to use Gcam pixel 3 mod or how to enable motion capture
This one works fine ( both photo booth and portrait) .
Problem is only with slowmotion and night sight in front camera other features working fine
