So my user name says it all... I'm older and suffer from short term memory loss. But I was using an app ACR for recording all phones calls ( I even let the callers know). And then I also started using an app called OTTER which puts your calls or Zoom meetings into text format. The ACR app says you can still use a phone with the Android OS 7,8, or 9 OS to use their app to recorder.
Obviously I don't want to use my Samsung Z Fold3 5G under like the 9 OS.
I DO have an iPhone SE 2nd generation (I think I have ios 13 on it).
So, is there some way I can get the recorder to work on my Samsung Z Fold3 5G..or to reset my iPhone and put an earlier ios on it... I need to ask the ACR app person if his app would work on the iPhone then.
Or if you know of a phone recording app that already works on iPhone❓️
It's been reported if you install acr from aptiode instead of the playstore it works. There's a thread on it somewhere in this forum. You can also use samfirmware tool to change csc and enable native call recoding. Again there's a thread on it in this forum
Maybe this is a foolish suggestion but I'm going to offer it anyway: why not get a used Android phone running v8 or v9 that will run the app without requiring tricks? Yes, this might mean that you will be carrying two devices. But on the other hand, you won't have to constantly worry that a software update will abruptly disable the app you depend on.
There are some very dependable compact Motorola and Samsung phones that would be well suited for taking and making calls.
Change the CSC to INU (india) and call recording option appears in the phone app

Trying many call recording apps to evaluate if there are anything perfectly working on call recording, particularly incoming voice. as a result, as you may see in the market's comments and some threads on other device at XDA, there seems a bug in Android.
FWIW I can see some efforts on other devices like SGS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863074, to get this feature working on their device. I'm just wondering if anyone is working on it for arc.
does anyone know about it or is this feature simply working for you?
I don't want to take a way of recording from the mic to get it working, even if it's the only way to go so far.
Hello, like i know, the reason why no one call recorder not record calls from line is the drivers. First of all we shoud wait for the custom firmware, then somebody should write drivers for our phones and integrate them to the firmware, and only after we can record calls from line. All this was made for HTC Desire, Desire HD, and others including SGS
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
The reason why none of the recording software work because there is no api in the sdk for that... So you cannot make a software to record inline voice...!!!

Maybe, but how without api, software "call recording" work perfectly on HTC and Samsung android devices?

probably they extend an API unofficially since they update Phone apps as well.
This issue is somewhat sensitive since it's relevant to the legal matter, it may be unlikely to get it fixed from google perhaps. I'd like to port their efforts to arc if I can get some kind of information what they have done on their devices.

Yes because of legal issues, google is releasing such api...
Will have to work on our own to get an api...
After that coding one call recorder software is quite easy...!!!
I wonder what legal issue is that because android is world wide used and I don't think there's any legal issue here in my country to record the line in of my own call/received call.
So the legal issue should meant to be force to use only in USA and some other country who have those issue. While the api that world wide used should have this function so those with out this "legal issue" in there country can use, isn't it ?
Hi there,
Can you please try the app Total Recall Android by Killer Mobile Software for recording calls?
They claim it records calls on Xperia Arc without any modifications or root needed.
I would like to buy this phone to replace a SGS that can record only with 2.2.1 FW...but I would like to know if this realy records bouth sides of the conversation without speaker phone enabled on the actual firmware versions.
Thank you in advance!
Anyone have luck with a call recording app? I've tried TONS (free ones so far) and none work. As a matter of fact, the error on one said this device is not built such that the voice of the person on the other line can be recorded (up link, down link, or something like that).

I'm not sure where you're from but the ROM of your smartphone may have something specifically restricted to disallow conversational recording. This is by law in some countries so the OS is restricted by the manufacturer - at least this was the way many S60 devices where restricted back in the day before fully rooting/unlocking them; which I think the same may be required for Android. I cannot say for certain as I'm still learning and this is one particular feature I'd love to have.
Total Recall was famous on S60; but this is Android we're after.

^ that shows a large list in a PlayStore search ... does anyone have particular solid recommendation please?
I use this for my divorce stuff, works on both audio streams. In my state, call recording is legal as long as one party on the call is aware. Your locale may vary. You've been re-cautioned.

This app sounds interesting. The other party you are speaking with over the phone in your state doesn't need to know they are being tape recorded for it to be legal?
I am going through a divorce. I need to look that up for my state.
I'm fairly computer literate but I have zero experience with rooting phones. I have no idea about modules, or even what they mean. To be honest, I don't even really want to root my device, but Google has forced my hand. Call recording (totally legal where I live) is an essential part of my job, and as you all know by now Google has restricted this feature with Andriod Pie. It was preventing me from getting a new device, but now I simply have to upgrade. Now, I can look all this up given some instruction on how to root, but I can't find anything comprehensive in regards to my specific application.
What I'm looking for is someone to explain to me how to root the Pixel 3xl for the purposes of recording phone calls. Here are my questions:
1. Is there a certain program to use when rooting for this purpose or can I root in any fashion?
2. I don't need instructions on how to root the phone (I know this information exists and I can find it) but what do I do after I root my device in order to get Call Recording to work? Is it as simple as just rooting the phone then downloading a call recorder app?
3. Is one app better than another when downloading to a rooted phone?
4. Can someone explain, step by step what I need to do in order for this to go smoothly? I'd really hate to buy a brand new Pixel, then immediately brick the thing. (eg. Step 1. Root phone. Step 2. download this module Step 3.......etc)
If this information already exists, then please point me in the right direction. I really have searched for a step by step guide, and just cannot find one.
Thanks all for your help.
Before rooting your phone, try call recorder cube acr by Catalina group in the play store.
There is nothing that works as good as rooted call recording, and I've tried a bunch.
Here is the guide you need to root. You will need to unlock bootloaders and then root in that order (note: rooting will delete the data on your phone like a factory reset would so make sure to back everything up first).
Next, what I use is Call Recorder by @skvalex and it's amazing, the best I have found and it syncs to google drive automatically. So I can go back for years and find conversations if I would like to... There used to be two versions, a regular non-root version and a ROOT version, the latter is what you want (he may have combined them both into one now though). I'm not sure if that is what is on his site or not, you will probably need to reach out to him. You will also have to purchase ( a one time fee of $10 in the play store but for me totally worth it and MUCH better than a monthly plan). Then in the settings just make sure you select the ROOT method of recording. (settings>recording method>ROOT). He used to point people here for the root app but looks like he just updated it recently. The version I'm on is 3.2.0

That's actually what I use currently on my LG G6. I've heard of some users having absolutely no issue with ACR on the Google Pixel 3xl with Andriod Pie but it seems these cases are rare(ish) and most likely have to do with either the country the user is in or where the phone is from, but I haven't figured that part out yet. I will certainly try it when I buy my Pixel xl3 and report back, but my hopes are low on this.

That's awesome info thanks. I've heard people saying a few different apps work but it seems they all have to further modify their system in order to use them. Other than switching the app to "Root Mode" it sounds like this is just as easy as rooting the phone, then installing the app right?

Yep!
Since I don't see that stated clearly and easily accessable, I'd like to share my insight that flashing the Indonesian variant of the firmware indeed changes the CSC to "XID", allowing native call recording with neither rooting nor fiddling with Samkey or other tools.
So far, it runs flawlessly, although it comes at the cost at some additional bloatware aiming at the Indonesian market with mostly can be uninstalled again though (with root access entirely, of course).
Compared to Dr. Ketan's ROM fix which requires root access beforehand and allows call recording independently of the used CSC, the XID one even in conjunction with "rooting anyway" and using his ROM has the advantage of having the call recording menu present in the native calling app which otherwise is missing, leading to an 'a bit nicer and properly integrated accessibility'.
Does Samsung pay work if you use this method?
I cannot say for sure as I don't use it and also had rooted the phone before (not sure if it is now possible to have Samsung Pay running with Knox 0x1), however I can confirm that Samsung Pay is there by default and also Google Pay can be manually added through the Play Store.
I have sm-f926u1 and obviously not rooted because it's not possible on mine. And I'm using the call recorder by skavlex on XDA/Google play store and it works without root on my device and records both sides of the Convo regardless of legality. Just an alternative
Hi. I did a debloat to my Samsung a32 4g. I manually adjusted the list so it won't remove stuff I need, but I realised that I don't have dolby atmos anymore. Is there any way to get it back?
I also was thinking to update to new android 13 update which I still didn't do.
Because after debloat, phone works faster than new and that is amazing! I'm afraid that it will become more slow after update. Do you know is it true? Or if I will debloat it again it will be OK?
I found that dolby atmos maybe connected to this line com.sec.android.app.soundalive?
I was thinking if I do an update, all the bloat will be back, and I will use the debloat list again, only I will also remove that line so it won't delete. Does android 13 one ui5 requires any additional debloat list and apps and where to find it?
Thanks so much for help
Oh and I also wanted to ask is there any decent screen recorder available because these from
Playstore are laggy and slow. On my old xiaomi I could do this in a second and have a small size good quality file ready to send immediately. I'm having problems with that as there was no pre installed screen recorder lol

search for galaxy s20 ultra debloat list. it is universal for all samsung phones. also, using adb to unbloat is kinda bad cuz some apps just reactive themselves, so i suggest you to root your phone and install the Knox Patcher if u want secure folder, private share etc back

HI there. to get dolby back if you used that gui adb tool you could easily restore. for now i think factory reset is your only option unlessand until we get the dolby's app name so you could reinstall it.
As for the update part let me tell you one ui 5.1 update i did feel it is smoother. I only used it for a while before switching to a custom gsi. But it felt way smoother. Although note it includes a binary bump. The latest one ui firmware is not downgradable. you wont be able to go back to android 12 or android 11

You can use RecMe screen recorder at max bitrate possible, and yeah, back when i used to have this phone, it was laggy recording videos, this phone actually sucks in almost everything. Don't talk about your xIaOmI phone on samsung forums please, but as you started saying about it imma finish it... xiaomi phones have a far lighter user interface, that is MIUI, but it is really really bad and actually spies you, and meh, i hate these chinese phones for this exact reason, spying. You can root your samsung and install a GSI like crdroid or other stuff

you could use my floating.xml tweaks if rooted. Otherwise using a third party app is the way to go. Tbh my experience on gsi's has been better than one ui.
