If you came here to troll my question about the legality of call recording feel free to use your back button and leave. Just picked this phone up for a friend and I would like to enable true 2WCR on this phone to use skvalex's callrecorder. Currently works fine for the evo3D but I don't know if this phone is even supported and if it is working or not. Looking for best quality possible would like to use skvalexs program only but if that doesn't work would be open to others. Would like feedback from people that use call recording would also like bluetooth support.
Go to ROMs you can try Blazer or FreeGS3. Call recording is a flashable mod.
I use it when I call any customer support.
let's go to the next level... BRICK IT!!!

Thanks I'll check it out. Do you know if a 3rd party app will work with it? Doing a quick search looks like that mod might be built into the rom with it's own software for recording.
Don't know about 3rd parties apps.

Here's an age old question:
Does anyone know of a reliable call recording app. One that doesnt require you to use speaker phone to record the other person.
Many thanks.
Your kernel has to be modified to allow two-way call recording, I think. I don't know which ones have it, if any, because I never use it. It's not the app that keeps it from working, it's the phone.

Good to know. Thank you.
Hopefully a kernel dev chimes in... id like to know as well... or someone who has tested a working kernel....
The current version of the Freedom kernel for Sense Gingerbread has In Call Recording support. It causes other issues at the moment that the dev is trying to work out so I have not used it. I am not aware of any other kernels (Sense or AOSP) but I am sure they are out there.

I know there's been posts about this already and I've tried about 3-4 different apps already attempting to gain this functionality, so far with no success.
My old Tilt2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 had a BUILT-IN ability to record BOTH side of the phone call simply by pressing a menu button and then selecting "Record" DURING the call, which means I could choose exactly when I wanted to record, I didn't have to know in advance and I didn't have to record the whole call. I could go back to that same menu and "Stop Recording" just as easily and then the recording would show up in the Voice Recorder app file list. (they were saved as .amr files)
I have yet to find an application (free or paid) that provides this same functionality (and preferably the same ease of use and simple features) for the Android system, and I've been looking since I first got my Epic 4g back in May with Froyo 2.2 on it. I've got GB on it now, are we ever going to get an app or a build or rom that has this feature in it?
Thank you.

We do need this for our Epics....

Because sometimes you just need to record a call

Background on this topic:
In previous threads on this topic in the Epic forums, it has been stated that it is against the law in some states to record a conversation without notice to & consent of the other party/parties.
That said, in all of those threads since the Epic's release--I've yet to see an app recommendation that panned out for those seeking such functionality.

My old PalmOS Treo had that feature, and it was perfect! Have been looking like you for that would work on the epic with no luck.
It was helpful when recieving important info while driving and not having to pull off to the side of the road and try to write things down with pen and paper!
Wth are people up to that they need to record their calls so badly. Are you guys creepy stalkers? Don't trust your gf/bf? Dump them. Jeez. Are you the damn dept of Homeland Security?

I have only used my recorder on my Treo twice in 2 years. But the times I did use it was when someone gave me super long instructions on something I can't remember, so instead of saying to the caller, call me back when I at home in about an hour (which is an inconvenience to both of us) and when I am by my computer and have a pencil and paper, I simply continued the conversation. Then when I did get home I just wrote that information down at my convenience.
It's like have All Wheel Drive in a car, most of the time you don't need it, but it sure is nice when you have it.
Obviously you have never had a need for anything so mundane, as you are always in the perfect situation, so why the heck do you need a wireless phone? Stick to your corded phone, that's all you need, oh wait, you probably have a wireless phone. You must be one of those creepy guys too!

Not creepy, trying to be SAFE while driving and when someone is giving me instructions, or their address or phone number or when I'm on the phone with HP tech support and at the end of the call they want to give me a really long case number, there are a thousand legitimate reasons to need to have the ability to record portions or the entirety of a conversation while on the phone. When you have a 2hr commute each way to work and back, you spend a lot of time on the phone and frequently get information that needs to be written down, which I can't do while driving...not SAFELY at least.
Why was this so simple for the OLD Windows WM6.5 to accomplish yet the much more improved Android can't? Is it the OS or the phone manufacturer's that are preventing this feature???
~Z
I think it's a built in function in the MIUI ROM. I'm pretty sure on my last call I saw that feature...
Edit: yup, just checked and it's there. It's a stable ROM, you may want too check it out.

I could use this in several aspects my business dealings... I would live to be able to confirm verbal contracts over the phone, create action items during conference calls while in the car & to capture confirmation #'s when paying bills over the phone just to name a few. Essentially, some of u just don't get it & automatically think the worst which shows your train of thought and personality all to well.

Well, I'd say we've confirmed that there's definately a market for such a program on our device, if not others. I guess the trick is, and unfortunately I'm not a phone or android expert, I have to revert back to one of my original questions to see where to go with this. The developers here are pretty damn good and usually fill in whatever requests are out there for apps/mods to satisfy our requests. So is the reason why there isn't already a call recording program then the fault of the phone's themselves? I've heard that some people have had complete success with a program, but only with a specific model of phone. Others say that they get only microphone input...
Is the hardware truly limiting the ability or can we find a really nice and good dev who could get around any hardware limitations (at least on the Epic) and get this ability working finally?

Have you tried it? What kind of recording quality have you gotten?
hi
can u tell me if this works on your device?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.porcelli.Monitorpro
i am trying to configure it to work...but i get unreadable files..
(i'm on Elite's ICS V11)
$12 lol... Are you giving donations too? J/k I would hazard a guess that it doesn't work.
From my understanding call recording needs to be supported by the ROM system framework for it to work. It's not something you can just tack on with an app. :thumbdown: at least not in a way that would provide satisfactory/understandable audio.
Most application implementations rely on hooking the microphone. problem is with that you don't hear what the person your talking too is saying... Or it is very faint noise (almost unhearable)
Seems like there is a lot of recent positive review though so maybe it does work?
I looked for a way to enable to enable call recording on my phone back on gingerbread. Didn't find anything substantial. A lot of time has passed since then though.
I'm running cm9. Would be nice to see a free implementation built into our ROMs.
I for one would like to see some more constructive comments about this topic. Screen shots from the app look like gingerbread... Although it says rooted ICS supported.
Hello everyone. I have a Galaxy S3 AT&T Jelly bean 4.1.1. on the stock kernel that is rooted. Is there a way to manually enable call recording from a build.prop editor app? If so what do i need to edit? Is there any stock kernels I can use or any kernels at all I can install without having to install a different rom?
I have already created a back up. Thanks in advance

I don't think there is. Call recording is illegal in too many places so I doubt we will see it for a little bit still.
Feel free to prove me wrong though.

1) how are they gonna know you've got 2 way call recording? Unless your dumb enough to tell them 2) there were kernels and roms that were ics that had 2 way call recording enabled. And there are guides around that show how to get that going

You are required to tell them and if you dont and they find out they can have you brought up on charges and arrested. Most of the guides came from the Euro version as it is not as illegal over there like it is in the states where you will never find a stock kernel with it enabled. Even google disables it by default on AOSP source code.
I'm posting this thread to let others know a way they can get the in call recording feature working on the T-Mobile S4 (M919)
If others know alternative ways to get this feature fully functional on our S4, please feel free to post them here. The more options the better!
But please test prior to posting.
As a note, I'm just linking to the ROM, kernel and optional call recording app already available from their appropriate Developers, which enables call recording on our S4. Thank you to all for making this possible!
I wanted to have a central thread where others can come and get in call recording working, without having to search all over.
I've always used CallRecorder by skvalex on my previous devices.
But when I got the S4, CallRecorder didn't work with the stock ROM due to Samsung, and neither did any of the other call recording apps available. I know because I tried several (I'm talking about recording phone calls via the phone line, both sides, without having to record through the speakerphone,) so I asked around, did some research, and saw that wanam has a ROM with native built in call recording, which is important to so many S4 owners. Thank you to wanam! His work has enabled other call recording apps to also work which I've listed below,
There may be other ROMs with this capability, but this is the one I know of.
I will explain the set up I have, and post links to the appropriate threads including some notes.
If there are any specific questions regarding the ROM, kernel and app links, please ask those questions in their appropriate threads, as that will keep everything centralized in the Developer's threads. And please don't forget to Thank these Developers for all their hard work.
Any questions regarding my set up, please don't hesitate to ask.
Thank you to the following Developers
My set up:
WanamLite ROM by wanam:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283194
* the above ROM is for the I9505 , which can be installed on the M919.
You MUST use a Modem specific for the M919. DON'T flash any non specific ROM. When you install the ROM your existing Modem Will remain on your device.
You MUST use a Kernel specific for the M919.
This ROM has native in call recording capability built in. It works really well, and records through the phone line, both sides, clear as a bell.
Infamous S4 kernel by Jamison904:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2264932
* I flashed the above kernel, as it is working really nicely with our S4. There are other specific M919 kernels you can flash as well.
CallRecorder app by skvalex:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
* I linked to CallRecorder by skvalex for those who have used it before on their other devices, and for those who would like another 'in call' recording option.
The recording settings I use with CallRecorder are:
Recording:
General >
Device - Other (Samsung GT-I9500 Galaxy S lV works also)
Method >
Recording method - Standard API
Standard API >
Call recording format - WAV
Other >
Audio source - Voice call uplink + downlink
The above information may work on other devices. But I have only tested the above on my device:
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 M919

Thanks for your post.
Update:
I just looked at your link again and see that enabling call recording on the M919 has not been confirmed yet.
As you mentioned in your thread, flash at your own risk, but I just wanted to let others know this.
If call recording capability is confirmed, would flashing your linked zip on M919s with any deodexed (or odexed with a modification) roms enable CallRecorder by skvalex to work, which works on ROMs that have call recording capability enabled?
I have posed this question to skvalex so we'll see what he says.
Considering that your Verizon call recording zip has been confirmed working, I am also wondering if CallRecorder by skvalex would work on the Verizon S4?

This does work on Touchwiz based roms I have posted confirmation in his original post. I was having low audio on the MIC side but a restart fixed that.
---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------
This does work on Wicked V4,
Record button shows up on call screen.
Add Call can be accessed via the phones menu button.
Recordings are save in /sdcard/Sounds folder
Recorded Volume of other party is fantastic (actually a little loud)
Recorded Mic volume is low (almost cant here what you are saying to the other party)
Kodos to the OP for getting it to work.
God Bless
For clarification, recordered mic volume is working fine after you did a restart?
So the zip for the M919 enables call recording capability to work without issues?

YES, now it is fine, I don't know if it was just that particular call that was placed on the wicked V4, I restarted after I placed my first call on wicked, after the restart MIC volume was fine.
Yes the zip enables call recording without an issues (so far)
Any touchwiz based rom you install will most likely be deodexed and this should work fine on it. I would however relocate the record button to the phones menu list instead of it being on-screen. I wouldn't use recording much and would rather have the add call button on-screen.
Also if the recording button was placed in the menu list, you could use Call Recorder (which I can confirm also works in conjunction with his mod) and set it to automatic recording will maintaining the stock on-screen items.
Jrkruse already has several versions for the verizon model that have the record button via menu or on screen, he also has them for odexed roms, hopefully he will do the same for tmobile based roms.
God Bless
This sounds like really good news.. Thanks for the update, and good to hear that with the flashed zip by jrkruse on a deodexed rom, people will have the option to enable call recording, and to install CallRecorder if they would like, as you have confirmed that app to be working.

I agree, both the built-in (flashable SecPhone.apk) and CallRecorder by SkValex from the appstore work with each other but like I mentioned I personally think the Record button would be better if it was accessible via the phones menu button, but thats just my opinion.
I made sure i thanked the OP as this is great news, it basically means that we dont have to use a 9505 rom, which in turn means we get to keep wifi calling.
