This is a tip for ALL good application developers in the android market: as of now, there is no good Conversation (call) Recorder application that would record calls (not from the speaker) in a clear sound and save it in different formats.
I have tried many, including the "Call Recorder - Total Recall" but wasn't happy with none of them.
If you come accross a good one, please post it.
Thanks.
I would pay $40 or so for one. It would be cheaper than paying $198.00 for a Call Mynah Cell Phone Recorder. Also less hassle as with call mynah I have to haul around another device. I would buy call mynah if I can't find anything else as it would always work with phones and upgrade phone in the future as long as we have bluetooth on future phones.
I use

Search for the thread on xda and thank faux
Found it in his kernel thread.

Yeah, you know that website you noted states that you need a kernel patch and a rooted phone?
I needed this feature for work. Searched forever and had to root. It is very easy with superoneclick2.2. Call recorder by skvalex is perfect. Records both sides without speakerphone. Has record button when both sides connect. Dont have to record every call. Works on i.coing and outgoing. Good luck without root. Call recorder needs superuser permission.
Once u rooted callrecorder by slvalex works great. Until recently u can't record any calls made over wifi calling

Would you mind identifying the thread that can give me easy to understand step by step instructions on how to change my phone to "Rooted Stock?" Also, how do I impliment uvkid? I am new to this stuff so could you tell me what "Rooted Stock" means? Can I continue to have over the air updates from T-mobile if I do that? Could it brick my phone?

Hi!
on the i9000 i found out that there is a function in libaudio.so for call recording.
I'm not an expert which jni. So what would i need to use the class from within a dalvik / java program.
My idea is to test the class for call recording on the i9000.
Any help appreciated.
(I managed to compile a working kernel, but i didn't manage to compile a running arm binary neither with the CodeSourcery nor the gnu toolchain in the android sdk)
------------
Update:
Thanks to titooo7 et.al. call recording is now working using the libs and phone*.apks from the i9088.
http://db.tt/q0sfueP
thanks for nothing.
i fixed the dynamic linker problem with gcc/ld parameter.
So, any good news for us mortals? Are you planning to do an app with a proper call recording?
i was partly successful. For now, call recording works only with the headset attached.
but there won't be an app for call recording. It will be more like a patch.
I would really need feedback from people telling that recording works with their firmware versions to go in depth.
That's awesome! Great progress! I wish I could help but I don't have the slightest clue about Android development. Would love to have a working call recorder though! I'd gladly send a beer or two your way too.
P.S. - I'd love to help you out with testing if you need.
Call recording would be great! I remember a while ago spending weeks looking for a call recording app, but nothing! Even my ancient Sony Ericsson had call recording...
I'll be watching this thread
There is an application, called Total Recall that should let you record your phone conversations.
My experience with similar app is that I am recorded fine but the other side is barely heard. I think OP is working on a direct recording from line in.
I'll be happy to beta test anything too.
Please don't get me wrong. I will for sure release a version for testing.
But at first i would need the firmware versions of people who claim that call recording (with 3rd party apps) works on their phones.

Among all apps I have tried, only one of them recorded successfuly both sides of the conversation. I don't remember the app and I don't remember which firmware I had (sorry). The only thing I remember is that it was a 14 or 15 dial trial and the app "draw" a (movable) circular button on top of the phone app. In order to recall the current conversation this button had to be pushed.
I am currently using Doc's JPY firmware. If I can help with some tests, I will be glad.

None of the countless apps I've tried has worked for me. What they all do is, record whatever is input through the mic, just like any other sound recorder app. For this reason, only your side of the conversation is recorded. Or both sides if you use speakerphone.

Can you please check to see if the app is called Call Recorder | TR Demo by Killer Mobile? This is the one with a 14 days trial, and the description says it works for Samsung Galaxy (Android 2.2).

No it's not. That's one of the most popular ones and one of the first ones I tried, because that's what I was using on my old Symbian Nokia 5320. Unfortunately it only recorded one side of the convo, like every other app I tried.

That application works on my phone. It records both me and also the people I talk with.
It worked on JP7 (which should be identical with JPA/JPO).

does it work without speakerphone?
I am using an app called CallRecorder, it records me fine and the other side very silent(yet clear enough to understand what he's saying).
I am on a custom hebrew rom, based on jpo I think.
merry xmas.
Just installed and unibstalled the Total Recall Call Recorder app, again. Tried with all the settings, and while some (Recording Strategy A) work one sided (the other side is very faint - only whatever manages to get through from the earpiece to the mic), some settings (Recording Strategy B) fail completely and keep crashing the app all the time. I'm on JPX.
Like I said, I'm yet to come across an app that does recording directly from line in.

hey guys, sorry if these seems rushed...
Going through some legal issues at the moment and I need to know what I can do to get call recording up and going asap?
Does our phone support it? (yes by far to my knowledge)
if so does it need to be on speakerphone or is it incoming outgoing recording?
also is there a specific rom I should look at for the best functionality of call recording?
I had just been debating swapping to CM10 (not sure if it supports it or not)
But I may not be able to do that...
I get no service at my house, I need to use wifi calling or else go outside where i get reception.
Does call recording work over wifi?
Gah so many questions
Thanks Guys & Gals!!!!
I think for call recording apps like skvalexs Call Recorder need to be supported by the kernel. I don't know if stock kernel will support it but if you find his thread here on xda you can download the current release as a trial to see if it works.
There are a few roms which have call recording built in. No real options for it but its there and it works. They'll all be ics based I'm pretty sure. FreeGS3, XquiziT, wanam Lite, I think all have this built in.
I'm not sure how well it'd work on wifi calling, but I don't see any reason it would be any different.

If you can get them to call thru a Google Voice phone number, you can call record with Google Voice by hitting the "4" button during the call.

Incall can record and store as a mp3 so easy to play on other devices as evidence. Do pre testing as with anything before your actual conversations, Incall only worked on speaker phone for me and I dont know about wifi calling. You might need to use different recording apps for different situations.
CallRecorder (10$) from skvalex + AlsaMixer + aosp + ktkernel work 100% perfect.
If you change rom, you need to fresh install CallRecorder + AlsaMixer every time. If you restore from Titanium Backup it will not work.

Was this part of the system apps on the stock rom? The reason I'm asking is that I don't yet have my SGS3 so I don't know the specifics
But if it is, you can try backing it up using Titanium Backup or a similar app and then reinstall when you're on a different ROM. No guarantees as to whether it will work or not but its worth a shot

No as far as I know it was never part of the stock rom. There is/are program(s) that call record, but they use the mic as the source and so only record your voice unless on speaker. I want to record both sides through the phone.

None of those apps will work without messing with the Android OS to circumvent the restriction on recording calls. They have made it very hard to get around. All these lame apps end up doing is turning on your speaker and trying to record from the ambient sound, which is really really crappy
Anyone figure this out. I found a few kernel hacks on xda, but the threads are all a year or two old and the links no longer point to existing download locations. Major thanks to this forum by the way! Couldn't have rooted my phone without you, and without root it was a paper weight after hardware keys died out.

I once had a good call recording addon when I used Jedi mindtrick ROM. I don't think you need the ROM to do it because it was from the Xposed Framework app. I activated and installed the app then scrolled down the downloads list and was able to find a phone recorder. When I installed it and reset the phone, it added an option to record phone calls to the phone menu. It saved the files to the SD card and they sound legit.
You probably know more about this stuff. Hope it helps!

It must be the shady ROM you're using, that is the culprit. On stock ROM, loads of recorders work great.
What REALLY sux, is the fact that it's impossible to record both ends, when you're using a BT headset.
I've tried every possible setup, with every recording app around, I'm rooted, enabled recording in ROM.
Nothing helps. Is this 2013 or is it 1995? Even the good doctor Ketan stands speechless! Grrrrrr.....
A nice recording app is the "Call Recorder" Link An even better one for our phones is "Total Recall" Link

I used to have Alliance ROM and recording indeed was great, but the ROM became too slow after a while, so I decided to move to AOSP.

Just make sure you change the "audio source" setting from "microphone" to "phone call" and it should work. It's been working on every Stock ROM I've ever used including 4.1.2.

Unless you're using a BT headset. Then the record button is greyed out.
I've come to the conclusion that this simple task is impossible to achieve.
User "Tubgirl" claims that it works on her phone. I really don't know. If you
google the problem, you'll find that no one else have managed to get it right.
I'm prepared to give up on this one....
I could be mistaken, but I think in-phone recording (that doesn't involve speakerphone) is not possible, at least on the ROM's I've tried.
