[MOD] Phone.apk with automatic call recording (v0.3)

[MOD] Phone.apk with automatic call recording​
Features:
Automatic call recording for incoming/outgoing calls
Added template system for flexible naming of records. No boring VoiceRecord001.amr anymore
Disabled stop recording on some actions related to multi-line calling (i.e Hold, Conference mode, etc)
Disabled stop recording when Dialer minimized to background
Switchable increasing ringtone
Modification consist of 2 packages:
Main package: Phone.apk with automatic call recording
Extra package: contains phone-related modifications (DialerTabActivity.apk at this moment)
nb: Main package still fully-workable without Extra package.
There are two ways to control the modification:
Using embedded "Settings" menu (included in Extra package)
​
Using standalone Automatic Call Recording Control app from Dark3n
​
Features:
-Turn call recording on/off for incoming/outgoing calls.
-Change file naming pattern for recorded calls.
-View .rec_template file
-Optional Prompt to delete recording after Call
-Turn increasing ring On/Off

Which way to prefer? You can try both and choose the best for you.
Again, if you are using themed FW and don't want to break your general style by using unthemed apps (e.g DialerTabActivity.apk), so just use a Main package together with an Automatic Call Recording Control app.
All records are save in /sdcard/Sounds/CallRecords/. You can use stock "Voice Recorder" app to playback.
System requirements: Tested on SGS GT-i9000 (XWJS3). Most likely should work on any 2.2.1 FW.
Probably will not work on 2.2 FW's.
[*] Flash using CWM or Recovery 2e.
During update process, script will backup your original files to /sdcard/tmp/
To roll it back, flash update_restore_[main_extra_pkgs] file
History:
Version 0.3:
Now project consist of Main and Extra packages
Main (Phone.apk): Completely changed settings storing mechanism: all settings are saved in /sdcard/rec_settings.xml in XML format
(no more .rec_template, .norec_in, .norec_out files)
Main (Phone.apk): Added "Disable increasing ringtone" option
Main (Phone.apk): Fixed bug with special characters in filename
Extra (DialerTabActivity.apk): Embedded "Settings" menu
Installer: "copy" routines moved from update.sh to native updater-script
(should improve compatibility in some cases. Now *.sh using only for backup/restore procedure)
Updated restoring script
Version 0.2a:
Issue with filepath creation was finally solved.
Version 0.2:
Forced sdcard/Sounds/CallRecords/ creation (if you've got "Fail Recording" it should fix it)
Some works on BT-recording. Need more reports.
Version n/a: initial release

Thanks to: designgears, wes58 for files from Asian ROM which enable call recording.

This is seriously what a lot of people like me were looking for I guess. I am going to try it.

Oh man! Awesome stuff! I was really in need of something like this

Awesome...
Really interested in having some feedback on how this works & if its better than Total Recall Call Recorder.
Thanks...

This libaudio.so and libaudioflinger.so has bug. Fring audio and video chat will not have audio out.

ronlkh, i know you worked in this way.
Can we cooperate to fix it?

Confirmed working with Calls made & Calls received.
I have rated this thread with a 5-start that it deserves.

You can use just replace only the libaudiopolicy.so and dont touch other 2files but the conversation recorded could be softer. I am currently testing the libaudio.so and libaudioflinger.so from M110s but still the same. I dont know about coding development but if there is anything i can help I will be available. If I can find a better lib file I will update you.
I am more interested in the callback dialer. If you can code this dialer I will be very happy to help you in developing because I use callback service alot. I know how the procedure works.
cheers!

Hmm, when call is ended (you press "End call" button or remote side drop it) record is stops. What behavior do you expect?

Thanks mate.. Works smoother in JS5.

Do application like voodoo to choose Recording ON/OFF

It would be nice if we can disable the automatic recording through the settings menu instead of creating files.

I haven't enough experience just in Android coding to create app from scratch (need dive into SDK, IDE and so on and have time on it ), but have some C/JAVA experience that's far enough to modify exist applications

I don't have BT headset, so not tested, but if it works by default then it will be work with this mod. If it wasn't, then answer is "No"
I haven't touch anything related to BT calling.

Just tried it. Doesn't work with bluetooth. Would love to see this fixed as recording while driving can prove helpful.

Conversation / Call Recorder for Developers

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

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

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?

[Q] In need of the best Call Recorder App

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.

If I can't get the Xposed call recorder to work, I may give this a try...how's the sound quality?

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.

drezman said:
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.

Moto E : Call Recorder

I'm on Rooted Firmware.
I have a habit to set a call recorder to store memories of my families and friends and disputes with customer care persons
I've tested and Call Recorder from @dr.ketan :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634999
works well on Moto E.
It is able to record voice from both sides, very clearly.
However, same software for non-rooted devices has a version, but trial works for 2-3 minutes only. If trial version works non-rooted users may buy it from PlayStore.
Call recorder for rooted devices is free and records unlimited calls for unlimited length.
It used to work well on my Note2 and it is recording even better on my Moto E.
Thanks to @dr.ketan.

Will try
---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:54 PM ----------
No menu just a indication in statusbar only

That's correct.
Even that will not show always. Just ensure that you have activated it after boot by touching once.
It will save recordings in 'Sounds' folder on Internal Storage. If the folder is not there, create it. Otherwise, it will not work.
It will ask for SU permission only after first call(after installing and activating it). You provide access and it's done.
It will come up whenever call comes or goes.
No GUI, but everything works.
File size is also small, time stamp is in file name with contact/phone number.

Thanks will try

Automatic Call Recorder

doesnt work for me. at least the root requiered non payment version.
didn't try the demo version because there is no reason to look into something that costs money when you can have it for free and better with other apps.
and i don't appreciate this kind of marketing.

using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en

If it recored call, got SU permission and had sound folder on SDcard, then check audio carefully. Because, the app starts recording as soon as you start dialing. First few seconds may be blank.
BTW, are you rooted and did you use the rooted version ?

Hi..
Which android version r u using in MOTO E in which Automatic Call Recorder is working? Does it work without root also?

Hi,
I'm on Moto E(Condor), CM 12.1. There are two files in Sounds folder .amr and %CNAME_%CDATE_%CTIME.amr. while calling, I'm getting notification in the status bar, but no recording. I've given root permission after ending of the first call.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Can H2OS Call recorder be ported to OOS?

Is it possible to Port H2OS Call recorder to OOS?
I love H2OS...but it doesn't support Volte...
and OOS doesn't support call recording...
As a workaround I installed OOS...Booted ans configured it and then went to TWRP and wiped System partion and flashed H2OS.
Now I can use H2OS with Volte.
It will be a lot better if I could use H2OS call recorder on OOS.

Not seeing it on mine either. 1+3

Call recording in OB13 is geo-locked, the option is invisible when you are in countries that have laws against call recording. You might be able to find the menu through using third-party settings shortcut apps.

as i know, the option is only available in China. just change persist.sys.oem.region=OverSeas to persist.sys.oem.region=CN on build.prop and you can get the option.

I can confirm i have this option here in India. Please note that some countries' law does not allow call recording. So it will be disabled for you by default.

I imagine you can switch the buttons in the options.

I am in US and can confirm changing
Code:
persist.sys.oem.region=OverSeas
to
Code:
persist.sys.oem.region=CN
in build.prop did in fact allow for calls to be recorded. It also flipped my back/recents buttons. I was a little curious/worried what else changing the region settings updated, so I changed back to
Code:
persist.sys.oem.region=OverSeas
and after a reboot I am still able to record calls. It's weird though as the buttons are still swapped (so I have to enable the swap buttons option in system settings), but at least I have call recording while still having my oem.region set to OverSeas.
EDIT: Can someone with US phone who has not updated their persist.sys.oem.region check Settings->About phone and see if there is a 'Preinstalled application list' menu item in there? I haven't seen that before and clicking it shows (assumably) a list of apps in Chinese. Also, there is now a 'H₂OS version' with 'Unknown' status in there. I am using 3T OOS Open Beta 4 with FrancoKernel. Any idea what/why that is?
