3a rom on which Skvalex's Call Recorder works? - Google Pixel 3a ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other

So, for five or six years, I had an original Pixel, rooted, and on it, Call Recorder worked flawlessly. I expected the same thing from the 3a, which I just picked up and rooted, but no. Every other call fails to record correctly. I wondered if any of you other 3a owners have managed to get SKVALEX's recorder working and if so, how you did it. Would be happy to flash another rom if that's what it takes. The recorder is the main thing I need out of my phone.

Skvalex works fine with all custom ROMs I've tried; the thing is (I think) is to root your phone and use Magisk's Skvalex module (not the Skvalex app installed from app store). So pick any custom ROM ;-)

Yeah, that thought finally occurred to me and I replaced my existing Call Record app with the one installed through the Magisk module. That didn't help. But today, I changed my recording setting from ROOT CAF to Voice uplink+downlink and THAT seems to have solved it. Would be curious to know what you're using under "audio source."

I use "auto (default)" and it works with stock 3a. V1.7.13 from Magisk module. Updates don't work.

Audio source: Voice call uplink + downlink. That's default setting, I've never changed that. App version 3.5.2.

Well, sweet. Maybe that was the issue after all. Mine defaulted to CAF for some reason. Maybe my settings got imported from my old phone initially. So far, changing it to uplink+downlink has it working. If that's all there is to it, I'll be thrilled. Appreciate your checking for me and for your help here.

I wonder if your default is uplink+downlink. That seems to be the trend on this phone. Good to know.

Is the Axet recorder still working on your 3a? I'm having zero luck with Skvalex's Call Recorder. Works for a while and then fails when it's most important.

Still no love from the Skvalex recorder on the 3a. I'll think I have it nailed down and then it drops a call. Always seems to know when it's an important call, too. Aggravating. None of the other recording apps work at all for me so there's that..

Axet's Call Recorder Magisk module v1.0.1 by di72nn works well. In F-Droid it shows as version 1.7.13. I set F-Droid to bypass newer updates due to recording issues.

I tried Axet and it produced a really low caller volume. Are you using it on a 3a? I'm starting to think this phone simply does not play well with recorders, because I've tried several at this point. Am considering installing a different rom to see if that helps, although I really haven't messed with roms in many years.

A final check:
You tried to install *this* as a Magisk Module? And not upgrade it in F-Droid?
https://github.com/di72nn/callrecorder-axet/releases/download/v1.0.1/callrecorder-axet-v1.0.1.zip
Reboot.
Then you need to give the app all permissions in Android; mic, phone...
App Settings: Recording Source: Auto (default), Sample rate: 16Khz. Encoding: mp3, Disable battery optimizations: Yes, System Mixer Incall Recording: No.

I did it three different ways that I recall. Installed Call Recorder straight from SKvalex's page, had problems, tried something else. Installed as a Magisk module, had problems, tried something else. After that, I installed it as a straight program again, although I don't remember from where. Still having problems. Doesn't seem to matter
where I install from. And I'm careful every time to make sure it has all the permissions, exclusion from battery optimizations, etc. It's just mystifying.

[Q] Skvalex Call Recorder

Hi,
I am in process of transferring from HTC to Xperia Z1 Compact.
One of the most important aps is Call Recorder by Skvalex.
Have tried version 1.52, but recording does not work.
Has anybody had success in using Skvalex Call Recorder, which version and settings.
I am on RomAur v1.2 and it claims call that recording will work, but it doesn't.
Can not use any other recorder, as I like to keep all past recordings.
Thanks!
Would help if you could tell us in detail about the issue. Could you elaborate the issue? Is it crashing? Can't record? Corrupt sound file? No sound? can't install from playstore?
Does it work generelly for people?

oh nice! that's spares me from installing cyan soon
LG Nexus 5 + standard API method + default audio source (not up/down link) seem to work OK.
Nope, it only catches the other party through the microphone (no sound if mic switched off).
Tried other settings, no luck so far ...
This is my settings, if you have root there i no better app for call recording than skvalex
hm, can't judge due to lack of signatures, but I suspect those reporting it as working are on 4.4 Kitkat.
Does it work for anybody on stock 4.3? I think I tried every reasonable option and it does not record from the line on my Z1C ...
Will be grateful for a confirmation.

Call recording

I know its been discussed but can't find a solution.
Trying to record both recipient and caller (in other words, both people) on incoming and outgoing calls.
All the ones I have tried only record my phone and not the other person.
To clarify if Person A calls me I want to record them as well as me and if I call person A I want to record person A and me.
I'm thinking this requires a rooted phone?

the app: edxposed manager
the xposed module: firefds kit (q)

Question Which phone call Recorder works on the OP9 Pro?

Hi,
I want to know if it's possible to record phone calls native? I assume this phone is being shipped with Google Dailer.
Is there way to still record phone calls (root or nonroot) that it doesn't notify the other caller just like in the native dailer of Google.
Magisk Module "Call Recorder - SVALEX" is running well here.
By theory if you are able to convert it to international and, also flash nolimits module, you will be able to enable native call record in the dialer settings. This is what I always did. Again, I can't confirm that this works on the 9 because I don't have it but, this has worked on the 6,7,8. Just trying to assist and, I myself refuse to run a phone without native call record.

Yap, it is 9.99 Euro, and it IS fancy. There are some things an switches to configure. Some important for me (encrypting the records), some don't (filter, who is recorded, who don't).
I use Jone plus tools with EU OTA. Always worked. Just require the Call Recorder Service option to be picked up.
I use axet's call recorder module from magisk. It is free. Only you have to remember to open call recording app once you reboot phone.
I've been using joneplus with oneplus' native call app, but it was not working good for me. If I put the phone to my ear before the call was answered, it did not work at all.
Used svalex version from magisk also and did not see any big difference compared to axet's. Had to open the app every reboot too.
To sum up, I stick to axet's as long as there is better way to record calls.

Install like any normal apk. Then set them as default thru Settings (default for messages, phone). Deactive the Google ones again thru Settings/Applications & notifications/Show all applications and pick up those Google to deactive them

Do you have to wait for someone you call to pick up the phone before you put the phone to your ear to call record work? Had this set up and if I forgot about this my call hadn't been recorded.

Question No native call recorder?

Hi all!
Looking through some threads here and Swedroid, I'd just like to confirm if there's a non-root way of enabling call recording on the 10 III, running stock Android 11. On OnePlus 5 I could just unlock the native recorder over ADB, but the 10 III doesn't have anything to unlock regardless of region, is this correct?
I've found instructions on rooting + Magisk to get call recording to work, but thought I'd doublecheck if that's my only option – call recording is the only feature I'm interested in, so would rather skip the whole process if I can avoid it…
Cheers and merry Christmas all!

Thanks for the quick reply. Guess I'll look into the root route.
Really annoyed with Sony tossing this function…
I've installed true phone and it records OK. Do I need to install the Magisk Module anyway? What does it improves?

I'm amazed True Phone seems to work without root or Magisk
This was the one reason I've allways rooted, which lately has caused problems in bank apps fpr me.
Now I don't have too root and get sufficient call recording
I'm curious how they do it, thou?......
Edit a little later....
Doesn't work very well....Root seems needed
