failed to start call recording issue - LineageOS Questions & Answers

I have just upgraded from Marshmallow to Nougat, however whenever I try and use the call recording function I get "failed to start call recording"
I am in the UK and although it is illegal persae, it isn't if you make whoever you are recording aware you are recording them (which I always do, only use it for companies)
Is there a way to activate this, I don't really want to install any external apps to get the job done and xposed isn't working to get it going that way either
Any ideas

Voice to Text Over Bluetooth

Does anyone know if it's possible to do voice to text using bluetooth instead of the phone's mic?
no. I've looked into this before but only found apps that can read you text but as far as what your talking about no, I think it may be possible once someone makes an app for it though.
I was using VLingo for a while and it did this. Only I had a bunch of force closes with that app. Then after I removed it I had major issues with BT, it works pretty good but does have its quirks. I'd stay away from it unless you have to have this. FYI once you install it it makes a mod to your bluetooth stack that i couldn't fix without a complete wipe and reformat, then I had to roload my rom and set it back up from scratch. Some people have reported going into applications and removing the "update" to the bluetooth stack fixed for them. I didn't have an update so it didn't work for me. Also restoring a nand didn't fix either.
OnStar also has something coming out soon:

[Q] Recording phone calls possible?

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....

How to deactivate calls and texts but keep 3G/4G/wifi?

Dear all,
Is there an easy way to deactivate calls and texts, by just pressing a toggle like we do for switching on/off wifi or flight mode?There are a few reasons why I d like to do it:
1)when I tether, if I receive a call I lose the connection
2)when I am playing music on my speakers and I have friends over, messages and calls spoil the dancing.
3)When I connect my phone to a TV to watch a movie from Amazon prime, if I receive a call the movie is stopped
4) I leave all my friends and my date/almost-girlfriend to play with my phone and surf the web, when they ask for my phone I d like to have a easy toggle to action and stop all texts and calls, so they dont read my texts (calls would be fine in this case). I dont have any bad thing to hide, but sometime we want some privacy, dont we?
thanks

Everything except tethering is REALLY easy... Put the phone in airplane mode, then toggle wifi on... done.
Tethering, well, no, there's no way to avoid it. If you're actively connected to the cellular network, you can't block on the device without it recognizing something is happening. You could mute notifications for texts, but calls would still stop things from happening unless you turn on call forwarding. and forward to another number through your carrier.
As for hiding texts etc... Cyanogen or another ROM with User switching might "hide" your info for you... Not a great way to do it however.
Wow...I still cannot believe there is not a simple tool to deactivate calls and text
Mmm this looks like the solution...any experience with this? I ll try and I ll let u know https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mrnumber.blocker&hl=en

Even if rooted, the phone still "notices" an pauses music momentarily, there are dozens of call blocking apps out there, none of them that I've tried will completely block, the calls are intercepted by the phone, and are passed off to the software, which then decides what action to take, that 0.1 of a second in the handoff will still pause music, sounds a lot like a skip on a CD for half a second, it's not a big deal, but its still not what to OP wants. I'd have to say it's by design, you have a phone after all, it's first and foremost a communication tool, not an iPod...
The closest I've seen to a flawless block, is in samsung's android stack, the default dialer app can block all calls... hmmm, I may have had an epiphany... will test a setting and get back to you.

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!

This is the one I use on my pixel 3 on Android 9. Doesn't even use root and works perfectly.
I got it off of F-Droid. Just called call recorder

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
I have had no issues

Question Call recording (no root) solution

I share this because I saw people searching for it
It's the stock oneplus dialer app so it gives you the ability to use the "record" button
Only the dialer changes
I place a high value on call recording. I've always rooted my phones and utilized @skvalex's fantastic app in the past.​
I'm considering not rooting for the first time since I want Google Pay and system updates to run seamlessly. I'm aware that there are solutions, but they appear to be cumbersome.​
Has anyone found a viable way to record phone calls on the Pixel without requiring root access?​
I got the American version from Google.​
Which version of 1+ contacts do you use?
Mine is 6.4.5 and a bit buggy
