Hi all,
TL;DR: can I port the original Samsung dialer (with call recording) to a custom ROM?
Long version: Ok so... I'm completely depressed because I've been trying to upgrade my now well overused S9 for a while, but I just CANNOT find a good replacement which has all my requirements and works properly in Canada. After trying out a few phones (and returning them all) I went back to my S9. But... I want to go the ROM route since the stock one is arguably dated. However, I have the dialer with call recording enable and I'd like to keep it on say, LineageOS. Reason being it can record calls while on Wifi Calling, which I am regularly, as opposed to other call recorders.
So... any advice for me? I'm spending too much time on this...

I'm working with a Tilt2 running the stock euro HTC 6.5 rom
and I have an odd delay. once a call comes in and I either use
the "slide to answer" feature or if i just press the call answer button
there is a long...sometimes 10 second delay between my action and
the call actually connecting.
During this time i often miss calls and ive asked those who are calling me
what they hear and they say my phone goes silent for 10 seconds before i
answer. any ideas?
Someone else found this link, not me -- and I haven't tried it, but I have experienced similar (3 secs though and not often).

After doing this it does seem to pick up the calls a lot faster but now I'm getting a slew of various data connection errors. SOTI wont connect, my weather tab will not connect.
Thanks for the assist I'm going to try and find a happy balance between the two reg settings
Update: I was wrong initially about the reg edit fixing things. I had my wife call immediately after the edit and it seemed to fix it when I noticed the connection issues through various programs.
Well during work today I answered about 7 calls. The delay affected all of the and on all but 1 the call actually disconnected before it allowed me to speak. so i will be reversing the red edit to combat the connection issues.
So clarify a few questions I Got regarding this:
When the phone rings and I press the answer button or "slide to answer" the ringing does stop and the icon in the task bar shows a call connected. but for me and my caller we hear dead silence for 10 seconds until they either hang up or the call connections. Any ideas friends?
I'm having the same issue on my US AT&T Tilt 2. It is driving me crazy, the regedit did not fix anything for me either. Did you figure you this out at all?
Are you guys running stock or a custom ROM? I have had this issue in seven ROMS. In my case, it seems that my phone has to have the ATT Dialer to avoid this. Tried Energy Photon and Leo,Josh Koss, TPS, and Shadowline. All had this problem. I'm now on Fusion 6.0 with the ATT Dialer. Not one issue. Day before I flashed this one, I missed 19 calls at work because I couldn't get the slider to register. Tried TPC's latest last night(he uses the HTC Dialer), missed calls. Flashed ATT Stock no problem. Fusion is the only other ROM I found with an ATT Dialer.
It seems there is a conflict in the device when connecting.
Some things to try:
- remove the custom dialer (just use the WM6 dialer, but this will loose video calls)
- check if there is some call-recording software that kicks in
- does this happen when the device is off or also when it was already on?
I'm Using HTC's stock rom instead of the ATT rom. since I'm America I really would not be apposed to loosing video call from the dialer since Its not supported on my network but I'm really not sure how to change the dialer back to AT&Ts ...is this something that would have to be cooked into the rom because I cant stand AT&T's rom.
Flash a ROM that uses the AT&T dialer: problem solved.
Your options are: Stock AT&T, At0mAng, Arrupenthal, Twopumpchump roms.
So how do we go about getting a cab file of the AT&T dialer, video share and PTT packages that each individual user can apply as needed? Is this even possible and would it require uninstalling whatever dialer the chefs cooked in? I think it would be impractical to ask the chefs to make two versions of their ROMs (one for at&t tilt2 users and one for everyone else) as I have attempted to cook my own ROM and know how difficult it can be.
Thanks,
Stephen
hi
sorry. bad post
I know this question gets asked a lot and usually a lot of responses like... hey try em and find out. Which is always good. But I have some more specific requirements that I am hoping by posting will somehow get me where I need.
I have a sprint note 2.
I am looking for something with the following feature.
Possible call recording (not a big deal)
Camera usage while on a call.
hopefully none of the sprint boatware.
Faster hopefully then stock.
ability to be on a call and then receive a call and then able to switch back to the original call I was on (just like stock). I am currently using Sysnergy ROM and like it. I like it a lot however the switching back and forth to a call is not possible and as much as I am on my phone I need this ability.
WiFi Teather/hotspot hack.
Thats about as much as I can think of. I am still one of those guys that uses my phone as an actual phone. I average about 400 minutes a day of calls.
Thanks for looking and your responses,
Nathan
Hello together,
I recently was fiddling around with various ROMs for my Galaxy Tab 3 (GT-P5200), the 3G version. The stock ROM that came with that device is quite unbearable for me.
While looking for a good firmware to go on I got stuck with the following custom ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-t3342017
When I got a stable base I'm planning to test the newer version of that rom, LineageOS 14.1. But at the moment I want to get the device finally running smooth. I bought the Tab broken for a few bucks and repaired it.
One of the drawbacks which I have at the moment with the CM 13.0 ROM is that it doesn't default to the speakerphone (hope I name it correct) for incoming and outgoing calls. Neither for the telephone app nor for whatsapp calls. For instance, I have to activate the speaker manually when I'm calling someone in order to hear what he or she is talking. With speakerphone I mean "hands free". I hope you understand what I mean as I'm not a native speaker.
How can I make the ROM defaulting to the speakerphone. It would be nice if I could achive this without any additional apps.
I have rooted the ROM and have access to the system partition of the tablet. I guess I have to edit some configuration file. But I'm having no clue which one it could be.
Does somebody know where that file might possibly be and what I have to edit in?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards
willy
I've got unlocked Note 10+ and I flashed the U firmware because of video calling that's missing on U1. Now I found that on T Mobile version there is no Smart Call and it is replaced by T Mobile NameID, which I consider inferior and I'd have to pay for full functionality.
Anybody knows if there is any way how to get the stock Samsung dialer with Smart Call back? I'd hate to flash the U1 ROM and go through the restore process again. Even with Samsung cloud, Google and SD backups it took me almost half day to get it set as I had it before.

My past experience with Samsung Smart Call, was that i found that even though, its baked into Samsung Firmware, it is Service Provider depended. to "activate /work".
I might be wrong, but i personally believe so, based on my experience.
Just to recap, my experiences with my old Note 8 and my Note 9 (both devices not rooted)
I also flashed Stock Samsung firmware .. different CSC onto these devices.
I found on both occasions i lost the function of th Smart Call.
( Hiya services), also Volte function etc etc.
I could see the Smart Call settings in firmware, but it was greyed out.
Could not enable it at all.
When i flashed my old Samsung Firmware (Service Provider CSC) Smart Call (Hiya services), was enabled again and working.
I'm sure in your case, you'll will find it's Service Provider depended.
Good luck.

The thing is, after I purchased and set up the phone on stock Samsung firmware, VoLTE and Smart Call worked perfectly fine. But stupid me wanted to try the video calling. I found that the video calling is not different than Google Duo and I will NEVER use RTT texts. I see no real advantage from using T Mo firmware in comparison with stock Samsung (provisioned for T Mo of course)
Actually quite the opposite. For me, the signal strength and battery life is practically the same on both and again, FOR ME Smart Call is much more useful than video call and RTT.
If anyone knows any benefits from keeping T Mo firmware over stock, please enlighten me. I really don't want to go through the flashing the whole thing and restoring dance again, but I'm afraid I will have to.

Ha, your post reminds me,
that when i flashed
my branded Samsung Firmware ( Voda CSC) with the Samsung unbranded Firmware,
The reason, was also to get video calling working.
As my branded device did not have video calling option on dialer.
I could only activate video, if someone else, video called me... only then the video option, would appear.!
I then afterwards, realized that i lost my Smart Call functions. and flashed back to the branded software.
This was on my Note 9.
So i had no video call option on dialer ,but Smart Call.
Now...
again, with my branded( Voda CSC) Note 10 +,
i see that my device has video calling on dial pad.....!
So, the Service Providers, chop and changed.
A year back, they disabled video calling option, from dial pad.
Now video calling is back on the dial pad plus Smart Calls is working fine.
Good luck
So.... I bit the bullet and flashed back the U1 firmware. The only thing I lost is the video calling. I still have RTT button on my dialer. Whether it works or not I haven't tried yet. I know it wasn't there on the original dialer when I purchased the phone. Maybe because I didn't flash USERDATA? Who knows.
I'm happy I've got Smart Call back.
CSC N975U
Good afternoon, I have the n975u model, my question is what firmware should I install, to get the smart call and video calls by duo?. Or is csc the one that has these functions active?
Thanks!!
excuse my english, google translator.
I have a Verizon Note10+ running Android 11 (3.1) I paid my cell off 4 mo ago. Verizon confirmed for me that my cell is carrier unlocked. I've tried everything to get the Smart Call app on my phone to work. The only thing I haven't tried is rooting it cause I don't know how. I have 3 versions of the apk and can't make them work. Can anyone help?
Hi guys, first of all, im currently running one ui 5 android 13
I have tried a lot of apps to record phone calls and every time the recorded audio sound is blank
I have seen that this is due to google politics or something, do u know how can i record it.
I want to be able to record it because several people have told me they stop listening to me properly during phone calls, but i listen to them good. Its not problem of my SIM because in other phones i dont have that problem and samsung technical support already "fixed my phone", i even sent them my phone so they would fix it.
Im pretty dissapointed with this phone.
Any suggestions of how can i record a phone call or even better, if u know any solution of my problem with the calls? Thanks!
The easiest solution is to use native samsung call recording. You can use this method, worked for me as well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ith-galaxy-a52s-solved.4423477/#post-86660135
I chose XID as well. When downloading new ROM to extract HOME_CSC from, be sure to download the same version, e.g. A528BXXS1DVL2 for A13 with December 2022 security patch, you can find the version in "software update" in settings as the first string after "current version".
