[Q] Why no call recording in 4.1?

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.

[Q] Skvalex Call Recorder

Hi,
I am in process of transferring from HTC to Xperia Z1 Compact.
One of the most important aps is Call Recorder by Skvalex.
Have tried version 1.52, but recording does not work.
Has anybody had success in using Skvalex Call Recorder, which version and settings.
I am on RomAur v1.2 and it claims call that recording will work, but it doesn't.
Can not use any other recorder, as I like to keep all past recordings.
Thanks!

Would help if you could tell us in detail about the issue. Could you elaborate the issue? Is it crashing? Can't record? Corrupt sound file? No sound? can't install from playstore?

Does it work generelly for people?

oh nice! that's spares me from installing cyan soon

LG Nexus 5 + standard API method + default audio source (not up/down link) seem to work OK.
Nope, it only catches the other party through the microphone (no sound if mic switched off).
Tried other settings, no luck so far ...

This is my settings, if you have root there i no better app for call recording than skvalex

hm, can't judge due to lack of signatures, but I suspect those reporting it as working are on 4.4 Kitkat.
Does it work for anybody on stock 4.3? I think I tried every reasonable option and it does not record from the line on my Z1C ...
Will be grateful for a confirmation.

integrated call recording after Pie update

Hello!
Google disabled thinrd party call recording in android Pie.
Can anyone tell me if this feature will disappear in pie update? I received the OTA but i really need this ( it's the main reason reason to me for buying Asus phones). If disabled, i can't update the phone.
Asus support can't answer...
Anyone who has already installed pie can answer please?
Thanks!

I've installed the Pie update and the inbuilt call recording works fine as before. You can go ahead and update.

The 3rd party ACR app doesn't work but the inbuilt call recording function works fine.

Automatic call recording is working fine and flawless.
Refer the screenshot.

They have blocked it in PIE update. It is really wrong as in many countries it is still legal. ONEPLUS has call recording in their PIE update. It is really sad. I don't understand why can't they offer it in their phone as they will lose the market otherwise to their counter part ONEPLUS. It is legal in INDIA and CHINA which are the biggest markets for ASUS. God helps the ASUS for foolish decisions.

Go ask the OnePlus forum. This is not the right place.

S9+ call recording

I'm using the latest official version, without root.
After thorough searches I found no apps that can record calls with actual sound.
Appreciate ideas how do do it.

Isn't there a inbuilt call recorder in the default dialer ? Go to settings and check ?

Hi, as far as i know android 10 doesn't agree call recording.
I've also searched and couldn't find a working app.

Thanks, option exists on the S9 but not of the S9+, which is quite strange, any hints?

Could well be.
The recording S9 I mentioned below is still on Android 9, while the S9+ is on Android 10.
I found apps which are seemingly recording, however no sound. Like they are blocked from accessing the sound, despite the granted permission.
Need a workaround probably?

in my opinion, having stock unrooted you can forget about recording calls on S9/s9+
Despite all that android 10 on the S9 ruined the phone! i have more 3 months of warranty and i'll root it and have a custom rom! o

Appreciate is someone can check on S9+ with Android 10

Question No native call recorder?

Hi all!
Looking through some threads here and Swedroid, I'd just like to confirm if there's a non-root way of enabling call recording on the 10 III, running stock Android 11. On OnePlus 5 I could just unlock the native recorder over ADB, but the 10 III doesn't have anything to unlock regardless of region, is this correct?
I've found instructions on rooting + Magisk to get call recording to work, but thought I'd doublecheck if that's my only option – call recording is the only feature I'm interested in, so would rather skip the whole process if I can avoid it…
Cheers and merry Christmas all!

That is correct. I do use True Phone with its Magisk module for call recording.

Thanks for the quick reply. Guess I'll look into the root route.
Really annoyed with Sony tossing this function…

I've installed true phone and it records OK. Do I need to install the Magisk Module anyway? What does it improves?

I'm amazed True Phone seems to work without root or Magisk
This was the one reason I've allways rooted, which lately has caused problems in bank apps fpr me.
Now I don't have too root and get sufficient call recording
I'm curious how they do it, thou?......
Edit a little later....
Doesn't work very well....Root seems needed
