[App][Beta] ACR – Auto Call Recorder – Version 1.2.4

WARNING!!!
These applications are not legal in all countries/states. Check first before you use this software as you could get into serious trouble in some countries/states. (Wikipedia Reference)
Note: these programs requires .NET Compact Framework 3.5 Redistributable to work. Please install this first if it is not already on your device.
Also if you've just blown in here to download ACR and run, its in Post #3

ACR HD
This program was written for the Touch HD. If your device is not 480 pixels wide or WM6.5+ then I would not recommend you waste your time with this program. This version is for testing/comments only.
This version is for anyone who doesn't mind testing the application at the risk of their device. While I seriously doubt it would harm your device I still feel I need to ward off thoses that are under the impression this application was written with any sort of care or support.
Thiis program currently requires a contact with the FileAs name of Unknown to work properly/with Outlook Importer.

ACR – Auto Call Recorder
SETUP
Once installed go to your programs folder and you will see a new Icon for Auto Call Recorder. Click on the Icon and the options for Auto Call Recorder will be displayed. Once you have chosen your options click the Enable Recording button on the File Tab and close the Options Program. That’s it you are now automatically recording any calls your device has.
OPTIONS
There are two tabs of options to choose from. Most of these you will not need to use at all but where included to provide a better experience for some users who have different requirements such as limited memory, no use to record all calls and such.
File Tab
Folder to save calls in
From the top of the file tab, first we have a textbox showing where the files will be saved. On the right of this textbox is a button. This button when pressed will open a window so that you may change where ACR saves the files.
Ask to save Call
This checkbox when checked will make ACR prompt you with a choice to save the call once the call has finished. Note that even if you choose no you will still have the option to retrieve the last call up until you receive another call. The file Lastcall.wav is only overwritten when you receive another call.
Record Incoming Calls/Record Outgoing Calls
These checkboxes is pretty self explanatory, if you want ACR to record your incoming calls then check this box, if you don’t then uncheck this box. The same goes for Record Outgoing Calls.
Write to Debug File
Only use this option if you are having problems. At the moment the debug is very limited. When you have this option check ACR will write debug messages to a file ‘debug.txt’ in the installation folder.
Recording Tab
The recording tab contains the setting for the file to be recorded. First is the Wav format. This is either PCM or GSM6.10 PCM is a ‘raw’ wav format that will use about 1MB per minute. I have included this format for devices that do not support GSM6.10. The other format GSM6.10 is a ‘compressed’ Wav format and consumes approximately 30kB per minute. Obviously this is the preferred choice.
Bits per channel are either 8 or 16 bits. 16 bits is the preferred choice but I have also included 8 bits for slower devices.
Samples per Second are the number of samples taken each second. This is a matter of preference/device capability. The choices are 8000, 11025, 16000, 22050, 32000, 44100, 48000, 96000 and 192000Hz. If you have a slow device then you are better starting from the bottom and working your way up by testing to see which the best is for you. If you have a newer device then it is more a choice of how much space you want to use as the higher the number the more space the file will use. Also your device may not support the higher frequencies so I recommend starting with something like 48000Hz. If you set the frequency to high you will get gaps in your recordings.
DEVICES
This program will work on a number of devices at different degrees of success. Below is a few lists of devices and there reported success. If your device is not listed then try it anyway and don’t forget to report back you amount of success. If your device don’t match up to whats reported then please do

TIPS AND FIXES
This is a condensed form of the previous thread and this thread. I will cover all the fixes found by the great folk at XDA.
Enable MicAGC. Its in Settings/System. Its not required by all devices though.
“I only hear my voice, the other party is very soft?” This is because you device is not setup to record both the incoming and outgoing voices. This can also be because your device is only ‘half-duplex’. To solve this try the suggestions in the Devices Post.
“ACR only records the first minute of the call?” This is because you have ‘fast sleep’ enabled on your device. Try something like Advanced Configuration Tool to disable fast sleep.
“I can’t see if it’s working?” ACR has no interface when it’s running. It was designed like this to keep memory usage to a minimum. If you are having troubles with this then I suggest you use the ‘Ask to save call’ option so you know it’s worked after the call. You can also see it running in a task manager program when you choose to show ‘view processes’.

Credits and Thanks
mskip for providing his registry settings from the 2 way recording Cab. Without these settings most devices would only be recording one side of the conversation so if you feel like buying him a beer you can here.
A big thanks to Rozenthal for letting me steal his legal stuff from FingerKeyboard.
A big thanks to Biker1 for helping all the lost people in this thread. You should get more credit than me.
Also thanks to [germany]merlot and deep_purple for testing.
Menneisyys for this great thread here.
Also all the people that reported device Successes/Failures/Tweaks/Registry Setting.
CHANGE LOG
Version 1.2.4
Extended Beta period.
Version 1.2.3
Fixed 12/24 hour time issue if the filename.
Version 1.2.2
Changed the file save format to include the date/time.
Version 1.2.1
Added Choose Folder Dialog.
Added code to stop Windows from shutting down the application in the background.
Added option to record Incoming Calls.
Added option to record Outgoing Calls.
Added Debug to File option.
Removed Readme Tab.
.

OUTLOOK IMPORTER
Outlook Importer is for both ACR and ACR HD. It will import all your saved calls into Microsoft Outlook on your PC. Calls are imported into the Journal.
This version is for anyone who doesn't mind testing the application at the risk of their device. While I seriously doubt it would harm your device I still feel I need to ward off thoses that are under the impression this application was written with any sort or care or support.
Oh yeah currently this app does not import call from the last day. I will hopefully expand on this to be an option but currently its the last 24 hours.

thanks a lot for the update dude
but where is the changelog ? What is new in this version

Great Work!
Waiting for changelog!

Hmmm what did I change?
I added a 'choose folder' for everyone that couldn't put a \ on the end of the path. I added a cancel statement to form closing so CE wouldn't close the app silently in the background. I added a couple of options to choose what calls are recorded. I added a crappy debug file function. I removed the readme tab. Oh and I added an option to save the call after its finished. I changed the file save to include the date. I still don't know why I did this? Hmm what else, don't know I've got the flu so I'm not really that switch on at the moment. Mostly I concentrated on the bugs from version 1.1. If your happy with version 1.1 I wouldn't bother changing if I was you.

oki doki !!
thanks dude

Thanks Slothie, very nice job
still, Record Outgoing Calls it's not working for me
it's unchecked all the time

Ok you'll have to help me out here? What is the device you are using? Also what ROM. So if you check record outgoing calls it unchecks itself?

I downloaded v1.2 and the following issues occur:
1) Record outgoing calls box is ticked but then unticks itself. I finally got it to stay ticked but no outgoing calls being recorded.
2) unable to delete recorded calls. Message pop up says System File, Access Denied.
When I first downloaded v1.2, outgoing calls were being recorded than above issues started occurring.
Downloaded v1.2 due to the Record Call Yes/No option.
Will download v1.1 for now.
I have a Diamond (cdma)

Ok I'll fix this just as soon as I shoot the people that tested this. In the mean time I would recommend trying to set this in the registry directly if you can't wait until tomorrow. The setting are in Local Machine\Software\Inta\ACR and the value should be set to 'True'. With a capital T.

What caliber do you need? j/k
I will try the registry change.
Do you know why I cannot delete recorded calls?
Thanks and welcome back.
Hope your daughter is ok.

Scratch that! I think I found the problem. I just uploaded a newer version. Cheap and nasty style as I'm sick as a dog.
Oh thanks Biker, she is fine now except we all now have the swine flu as the hospital was overrun with infected patients. Little price to pay though as she is now walking again!
Can't delete recorded calls? As in they are read only?

I have set the value to 'True', but I still doesn't work. I saw that version 1.1 was removed, could this be reupload?
Thanx.

It's obvious but just in case, the registry value change to "True" is done to "RecordOut."

Good to hear about your daughter. She will now have to take care of you
I can play back recorded calls but I cannot delete them.
Says System File. No Access.
Thanks.
Btw, made the registry change but box still unticks itself.

UPDATE:
v1.2.1 is working fine
Corrected the Record Out and box stays ticked.
In regards to not being able to delete any recorded calls, the following occurs:
I go to delete and and it asks me if I want to delete the call? I then click Yes. I get the Pop Up Message that says System File, still want to delete? I click Yes. I then get a message saying Access Denied.
BUT
when I exit the call log screen and I go back to the call log screen, the recorded calls that I could not delete ARE deleted
Edit:
I went to delete recorded calls but this time when the Pop Up asked if I want to delete specified call, I clicked Yes (as I did before) and when the System File pop Up appeared I just exited the screen.
When I returned to the call log screen, the calls were deleted as before.
Sorry for any redundancy but I want to be as specific as I can to help solve the problem.
Thanks.

thanx 4 rthat piece of soft...
will test on my diamond touch 2 now ;-)

Tested! Works fine even with both the incomming/outgoing calls and the final confirm!
Only two things:
In portrait mode would be useful to have a scroll bar since I can't see all the options in main page!
Can you put an "OK" in the low bar instead of use "X" in upper right corner to exit???

[C#]My phone call recorder - some hints needed

Hi.
For my studies I'm expected to develope application which would be able to record phone calls (voice both from mic and speaker). App is for HTC Touch Pro and maybe for Samsung Omnia (but mainly for HTC) and it should be written in C#.
I wrote in my life few CF apps so I know mobile programming topic and I'm not asking for writing application for me. I would like to ask developers who know this topic about few things:
Is it possible to capture voice from mic and speakers while using only CF .NET 3.5 without any specific APIs? Or some additional (phone specific?) APIs are needed? If it is not a problem, can I get few lines of code with description how to do it?
I read few threads here and on other sites but nowhere I can find any information about developing these kind of apps - only posts about which commercial app works on which phone and which is not. So I hope that someone in this development section can help me with this.
I will appreciate any help
Cheers.

No-one? Really?

There are unmanaged APIs which can be used in managed apps by using P/Invoke. Take a look at the 'Wave In' part.
Not sure if this can be easily used for phone call recording.

Hi.
Thank you for reply. Sample from your link records and plays sounds pretty well, but during phonecall it is completely lost and cannot even save wave properly (and I assume that it is taking control of microphone, because on second phone my voice doesn't exists :/).
I have tried few tricks using openNETCF too, but it also has problems with recording during the phonecall.
Does anyone have any more idea? There are a lot of phonecall recorders which work so somebody must have done this before...

Video Call

Hello,
I develop one program for call with the video.
It's possible to invoke by program a phone call via an intent :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(url));
where the url contents the phone number.
How to specify that we want to make a video Call on 3G-UMTS and not a vocal call.
Assuming that we have the right phone, the right OS version, the right operator.

I don't think there is a public API (read: a generic action *) for that yet. Very strange but true. Video calling on mobile phones has been possible for more than 10 years, but Android doesn't support this generically yet.
edit: There is an issue open on this on AOSP. All we can do is chime in and ask for vendors and Google to make this public.
*: Using an explicit intent (with full component class) may be seen as code hijacking, some developers / companies don't take kindly to that, so be careful!

damn I need this function bec I am deaf. I need damn it..

Yes therefore made for the time Android is the manufacturers who have developed this module, so you do not know how they can proceed to make a video call.
And excuse me for my English, I'm French and I do not speak it very well

Well, stupid question maybe, but why not just use the stock dialer?
Or doen't video call work while on 3G? In that case there's very little you can do about it, because your mobile operator has to support video calling (some don't). If anything, keep trying new Fring & Sipdroid versions until there is one that works on the SGS...

Phone.apk with call recording..

Edit:
Not working yet.
The phone app will crash when your record is stopped.
Created .3gp files are empty.
See page 2 for logs.
This is "our" Phone.apk modified, not the asian one.
Also tried with the asian libs, but they seem to be the same.
Btw: Who added [Hack] to the title ._. ..

Cool, thanks for your effort. I'll wait for someone to check it out

thanks for the effort

I did the same thing with the korean phone.apk (deodex and replace original files). it didn't work either, just FCs.

I still believe the Korean phones have the hardware needed to record phone audio. Until someone gets this to work

According to this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9088397&postcount=32
call recording is allowed by hardware. If there's a developer to a find a solution for it, he'll be taking some of the bounty supercurio was looking for in his months-old thread about sound tweaks, that seems not supported now.
Call recording is a must feature for quite few of us.

I dont believe its disabled in hardware. (expensive solution)
I think its disabled in kernel code. (cheap one)

cheap phones have this function is standard
and 500 € phone, could`t cause harware issue

half of samsungs code consists of appending strings for logging.

need this functions too

Don't want to promise anything, but I'm quite excited at the moment...
At the moment it crashes when saving the record.
Saved .3gp files empty.

continue m8,we do not hurry

maybe the interaction with native driver fails, not sure about it. Hoping it's not.

Posting your log might help.
Heck even dmesg might.

I am willing to donate for this feature if we could get it to work.

Hi!
call recording on sgh-m100s works different. as you can see in the wm8994 initialization code (wm8994-aries.c).
see: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842740
you won't be able to record through the means you specified.
i was able to change the wm8994 code in jpm firmware (latest available on opensource.samsung.com) to the sgh-m100s one to record but video call recording was broken. so that is not the way i prefer.
another interesting class is inside libaudio.so. it's called voicecallrecorder which seems to record through the svnet0 interface (ipc to radio).
it could be an option to write the necessary jni classes for that.

Any news yet? It's a good idea if it can be made to work.

[DEV] Xoom voice capabilities

I want to open new Thread about getting Informations for working voice capabilities at Xoom !
Here only DEV talk please !!!​
EDIT: Found Information for MDM6600 from Qualcomm : http://www.qualcomm.com/media/documents/gobi-product-specs
the pdf file show up different types of modems and the Options: see attachment !!! so actually we could only say that its really actually Modem Version which doesn´t allow Voice Call
First of all i want to share some Informations i think we should know:
Mjamocha said:
I hear what you are saying, thought about that too. Not sure the method to google/motorola madness. If it was that simple, the 2way mic'd headset would work. (tried it and it sadly does not) Keep in mind that our devices are one of the first tabs (old school - but great!) and were not designed to make or receive voice calls (with out help). With that thought ... some pieces of the puzzle may not have been installed. Who knows lol. There is a lot more going on for native support. This has nothing to do with SIP calls, we all know that SIP, Google Voice Skype Video Chat/calls, bluetooth blah blah blah .... work. I'm talking about straight up native outgoing/incoming voice calls via usb voice/data modem. Directly from the device. A couple of us are looking into it. There are so many unanswered questions with this device, makes your head spin.

I search for some Informations about Motorola , Xoom , Android , Telephony , Sources ... ... and found these Informations directly from Motorola´s DEV Program :
http://developer.motorola.com/docs/tablet-support-for-telephony-and-4g-lte-networks/
However, in the tablet space, data is king! Most Android tablets, such as Motorola XOOM™ (the XOOM 4G LTE and XOOM 3G models), are configured for data only.

Sounds sadly ... i know ... seems to be Motorola remove Telephony Support complete ...
Because tablets are not phones, there are features that have been removed or work differently on tablets. Be aware of the following things that may impact your application.
Do not call the Dialer appYou cannot launch the Dialer from within your application. It is not included on tablets. If you link a phone number to the Dialer, you may want to add in logic to launch another app instead, such as Contacts.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you plan to target specific carriers by filtering on radio technology, be aware that android.hardware.telephony.cdma and android.hardware.telephony.gsm are not defined features for tablets.
Even though you cannot initiate a phone call or modify the phone state, you can read the settings in android.telephony.TelephonyManager. There is a difference, however, in the data that’s returned from a CDMA/GSM device and WiFi-only device.

hmm.... sounds really really bad .... damn ...
BUT i think we could check if it really doesn´t work !!
First of all we have to get sources of ICS / JB for Xoom and also enabled features inside framework.apk at bools.xml like:
<bool name="config_voice_capable">true</bool>
<bool name="config_sms_capable">true</bool>
