Hi!
I know that by default call recording options is enabled only on devices for certain countries.
But.
I have flashed default rom and installed PACman v15.0 | Android 4.1.2 | Kernel 3 ROM (sorry, cannot post a link here, forbidden). I have seen somewhere that this rom's kernel supports 2 way call recording, but when I make a call, I do not see any button to "record a call", like, for ex. miui roms have. So I have 2 questions:
1. How to record my calls natively? With this I mean is there any way to have "record a call" button when I make a call? Because I do not want to record any call (or only calls from numbers, that aren't in my contact list, like some apps from goggle market offers) - I wan to be able to record a current call, if I wish.
2. The forum has so few information about this topic - doesn't anybody need call recording function?
Thanks.
You need this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder
Kernel support for 2WCR + this app are the standard requirements for call recording on most ROMs since a long time. That's why you don't see much about this, because nothing has changed since long and there's nothing new to talk about. And also because a lot of people hardly use it or don't need to use it at all. MIUI is the only ROM as far as I know which has call recording built in (in the call screen). Many other ROMs have kernel support but need this app to record, and yes you can record on-demand during a call rather than record all calls.

Wow.. the only thing keeping me now from using MIUI (4.1 based) is that it works pretty laggy on my DHD.
Well, lets have a look on the callrecorder since this is the only thing left
Message to ALL ROM makers: Please, include this functionality, so that it can be accessed from the call window - yes, there are people who realy need this.

Why not just install the app?
Yeah. The app has an in-call control button.

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.

That is what most of these apps do, but the one I mentioned before successfuly and clearly recorded both sides, without speakerphone. It's a pitty I don't remember the name... hopefully, someone will tell wich app it is from my description.

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).
I have not personally tried it, but hopefully this can jog your memory.

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.

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.

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?
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.
call recording is built right into GS3 rom default phone app & maybe someother roms here that i may not know of

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.

There is no call recording feature in any of the CM/AOKP/AOSP roms.
Also there are no call recording apps at the google playstore which work properly with cm/aokp/aosp roms.
If you flash the stock Samsung Galaxy Jellybean 4.1.1 rom or any custom rom based on Samsung Jellybean 4.1.1
you can find many call recorder free apps at the playstore which will work.

Pretty certain it's illegal in most areas, right? That's probably why.
I don't think it's illegal in most areas, perhaps just some. If I'm not mistaken Samsung left it disabled in TW because the laws are different everywhere you go.
In the US, I believe it's legal in most areas so long as at least one party involved is aware it's being recorded. (Meaning its illegal to 'bug' someone's phone, but perfectly legal to record your own conversations). There will be slight variances from state to state of course.
Oh, and it goes without saying that this does not apply to the NSA, DHS, FBI, etc. They can do whatever they want!

This. Two-way recording is legal in the US if you tell the parties on the line that you are recording the call, then if they don't want to be recorded the recording is no longer admissible. One way is legal, but has a lot of caveats. All of these legal quandaries is most likely why it does not work with AOSP-based ROMs.
I am getting ready to flash ProBam KK and I would like to know where I can find the best call recorder.
I really like the one in the Jedix20 ROM...it allowed me to recorder only the calls I wanted and both sides of the conversation was clear. I tried Galaxy Call Recorder, but the sound quality was horrible. Any Suggestions?

You can use a call recorder module from Xposed framework. That would work like the one in Jedi.
You could also make one with tasker that you toggle on/off from your homescreen or just record every calls.
Thank you both for responding.

Install the app called tasker.
Go on your homescreen
Add shortcut - task
Create task in media record audio.
Don't forget to add a icon in the right bottom corner.
Now repeat to make a stop record audio button.
Or
Search Google for tasker profiles. Hit the first link. Scroll the list until you find the call recorder. Download the XML and import to tasker.

Try an app called "call recorder" by Skvalex in the play store (there's a link to the trial version in the description of the paid version) it's working great on my i317m running skynote air. If you want to try it do this:
1. Go here and download the "alsa_update.zip" from the link in the comments section:
http://code.skvalex.com/callrecorder/issue/228/alsamixer-wont-install
2. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup, then install the zip you just downloaded.
3. Reboot and install the call recorder app.
4. Go to settings>recording>device and select your device. (Some of them are out of alphabetical order, so have a good look and try to find your exact model)
5. Go to settings>recording>recording method and select "alsa"
(The zip file you installed added the files needed to enable this recording method. Alsa gives very good volumes on both the incoming and outgoing ends of the call)
After that you should be good to go. I've used this app for years now, on a couple of different phones and love it. I get a lot of addresses and phone numbers given to me while driving, and this app saves me from having to pull over (or not) and try to write them all down.
