So I have a Z Fold 3 in Australia, purchased directly from Samsung. Several months ago I got call recording working in the Samsung dialler app, by changing the CRC of the phone and installing an Indonesian version of Android.
I'd prefer to use the google phone dialler app, but call recording isn't showing as an option. I've read everywhere that it only works if you have the google dialler comes preinstalled on your phone. So I guess my question is, why can we not just have an apk made of this "preinstalled" version of Google dialler so we can use call recording?
Also open to other ideas on how to get call recording to work in Google dialler.
Thanks

Simple answer: Because it's illegal in a lot of countries ...

ACR Phone works
Yes, I'm aware of the legality complexities. Perhaps I complicated things in my inital post. To simplify I have one question:
* If there was someone who has Google Phone (dialer) preinstalled on their device from India or another country where recording is allowed (and enabled) - could they do an export of that app? And then could one just import / install that onto their phone?
I don't know the ins & outs of how the export is done... but is it possible?

ACR does work. You just need to be more open to more possibilities and not just go to Play Store like a NPC.
I already bought ACR but, Google fuxed it up so it didnt work anymore unless on Android 5 to 9.
then I actually found one of the comments on Play Store that Aptoide version works.
I tried it on Android 12 and now on Android 13. It records both sides of conversation.
Just be advised that the instalation package will need to install Aptoide Store first, which, once inside, takes you to install page of ACR.
IMPORTANT:
*TURN OFF Updates inside the ACR app Settings, so that Google doesnt interfere. I also
**TURNED ON the setting that it asks me after the call "Whether to save the recording or not". Thats how l know it works and reminds me to check the functionality
You are welcome.

Hi guys. First post for me but I've been reading these forums ever since I got my GN in January. Thanks to these forums I successfully updated my phone to yakju, then takju, and this morning to takju with JB 4.1.1. So...first I want to say thanks.
Second, I do have a question regarding the Sound Recorder app in JB. I noticed it for the first time when it popped up as an option while trying to upload to Facebook. I don't see it in the app or widget drawer. I checked in settings> apps>all and I see it there. Is there a way to add it to the home screen or actually launch it? Maybe I'm missing something and in that case feel free to pwn me.
Thanks in advance...
i too would like to know this, if anyone has any idea?
Just as in previous versions of android, the sound recorder app is not able to launch via the app drawer. If you really want to launch it, there is some code that you can put in to a terminal app, but the app will not actually save sounds to your phone. It is used as an extension of sorts that records sounds into certain apps, messages, etc... If you want to record audio files to your phone check out an app like Easy Voice Recorder on Google Play Store or my personal favorite, TapeMachine Recorder. (Sorry, can't post links yet.)
thanks for this jong31 - this is my first android device so wasn't aware of this particular limitation seen as all my other handsets down the years have always had a voice/sounder recorder built in!
i will go and download from the store now
Hi all,
I recently bought the Xiaomi a1 ,which is great phone so far.
For some reason, the stock dialer app is not including the option of searching for businesses (aka "nearby places") by searching in the text field of the app.
Do someone know how it can be enabled there?
Thanks.

Just install the attached Google dialer (no root) and give the permissions to access the location.
The "nearby places" works just fine and also the caller ID picture works.

Hey folks,
I want to use voice dictation, but every time I press the mic-button I just get an Alexa-Result. The latest post I found about the voice dictation feature is from 2018 (https://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-res...n-screen-keyboard-with-latest-fire-tv-update/). Has it been disabled since then or is there any configuration I have to do before I can use it?
Best regards

Hey I think to use voice activation for things like Google search you need root in order to redirect the permissions to a new launcher / voice search function.
This is demonstrated in tsynik ATV 4K addons. He has rewritten the voice command by using a magisk root module which totally rebuilds the voice search facility. Without root there isn't much you can do except put up with Alexa farting I'm afraid.
Hi folks ,
I have a google Pixel 4XL , running Android 11 .
For some reasons , google call recorder app is disabled on my phone .
I have heard, it's because Google restricted this app for those who are outside the United State .
I was wondering , if there was a way to get this app running on my phone. I know there are so many apps for recording but I knidda wanted to try Google Call Recorder app .
I really appreciate if some of you can help me out with this issue .
Thanks in advance .
Hi there. I think it's disabled because of laws of the country where you live. In most countries this is illegal, to record calls without other persons permission.

I found this but haven't tried it yet. If you go for a third party app, I've had good luck with ACR and ACRPhone by NLL. The latter is their dialer that incorporates recording. Their 'unchained' version includes features not allowed on Google Play, like labeling the recordings with the proper contact name rather than just the number. Google blocked this access, details here.
<Moderator Edit>: Thread closed due to the original developer @Jacopo Mii already having a thread for this at [MOD][ROOT] GoogleDialerMod.
Downloads:
Please visit the GoogleDialerMod Release Page
How do I use it?
Always make sure you are using the latest Google Dialer beta from the Play Store to enjoy the latest features
Allow root access to GoogleDialerMod, apply the tweaks you want, then force close Google Dialer app and reopen it a couple of times for them to take effect
There is no need to keep GoogleDialerMod installed after applying the desired mods, because they (should) survive Google Dialer updates / reinstalls over time
How does it work?In every Android device there is a database, called Phenotype.db, managed by Google Play Services, containing special flags that affect the behavior of all Google applications installed.
Some of those flags concern Google Dialer core functionalities, while others are about hidden or upcoming features not yet released.
What this app does is execute SQLite queries on that database and overwrite Google Dialer configuration files to enable or alter its features at will.
Current features:
Supports arm / arm64 / x86 / x86_64 devices and (hopefully) all Android versions
Enable / disable hidden features for all users at once when Android "multiple users" mode is in use
Force enable call recording feature even on unsupported devices or in unsupported countries
Enable also automatic call recording feature based on caller (otherwise only available in India)
Via the call history in the Dialer, you can listen to all the recordings, in an organized way, as each audio is already matched to its respective call in the GUI:
Furthermore, by opening the individual recordings, it is possible to share them using the apposite button:
Among the sharing options, there is also the possibility of copying the file to a folder of your choice:
Silence the annoying "registration has started / ended" call recording sounds
Force enable call screening and revelio (advanced automatic call screening) even on unsupported devices or in unsupported countries
And much more coming soon
Troubleshooting:
After enabling / disabling any switch, please force close and reopen the Google Dialer app a couple of times. You may also need to reboot for the changes to take effect.
Before to report an issue try to delete Google Dialer app data, to reboot your phone and to try again what didn't work

Thanks for the work on this, works like a charm!
Thank you! It worked after a few force closes and reboots
Thanks for the share, now i don't need to call back people to ask what they said again haha
Nice, but where is the recording? I can't seem to find it. Yes, I've looked. Giving me the option to delete the recording, but not play...
Edit. Nevermind. On recent calls list, there will be a microphone next to name. Tap name, then play. I figured a file would show up, but apparently it's saved as app data

Google Dialer by default saves the call recording audio files in the /data/data/com.google.android.dialer/files/callrecording path.
Can be listened or deleted from historical call or recents calls

Doesn't work if "Silence call recording alerts" is enabled.
And even if disabled, records only when manually turned on (no auto-recording)
It doesn't work for me. Tried everything with also with newest beta. I'm on nameless rom (aosp) but can't record calls.
Don't use Beta, on beta doesn't seem to work

Back to stable and reboot and still an error trying to record.
in the stable version of Google dialer it works perfectly. I have had to open and close the mod many times until it has worked. Now Resists restart. thank you very much for the thread.
The original thread for this mod is https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-root-googledialermod.4330055/
I won't monitor this one.
