[Q] Why Nexus 4 Stopped 2-Way Call Recording After 4.3 Update? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have been using stock Android 4.2 and all recording applications worked with their 2-way call recording (Call, Uplink, Downlink etc.) After update to Android 4.3 2-way recording no longer works. Rumors are either that Nexus 4 does not support 2-way recording or that Android OS is bugged and need to be patched.
The latter seems like it and it seems I need to apply some kind of patch after rooting current stock Android.
Did anyone here tried this patch? Did it work for you?

Works fine for me with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grinzone.incallrecorder

It works on kitkat 4.4.4....
The name of the app is "MP3 InCall Recorder & Voice" by developer "Grinzone"

This is what I get:
We're sorry, the requested URL was not found on this server.

Getting the same result, searching in the Play Store yields nothing... The link on Grinzone's website gives the same result, maybe only available in certain regions. It is on AppBrain though.

The 1st two links are for the same app, just different version.
The last link is where you can request an app that is not in your countries play store. Another way to unlock your play store region would be to use an app called "market unlocked" Google it, you just select a region and then you have access to apps from that region/provider.

It has worked for me and it does not ask for root access.
It doesn't work on 4.3.
Contact the developer to ask him for a copy and questions you have or go to the third link and request the app if it is not already posted there.

the app does not work on latest pa rom.

Great. Now you tell me how great 4.4.4 is after I read on different sources how it sucks. How are you supposed to make informed decision in this sea of subjectivity?

[Request] [Dev Needed] Call recording in Android for HD2

There are WM roms with built-in call auto recording feature that does a great job in call recording. For android, all apps does call recording via speaker phone instead of in call recording. AirVoice is the only app I know that does a perfect call recording within the call and not with speaker phone on. However, HD2 is not supported.
Now, other android devs for other devices are successful in achieving perfect call recording: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=806451
Is there any devs that can spare a few moment in making this to work on HD2?
Thanks to all devs for making Android runs on HD2
+1 for this request.. generally I have to switch to WM6.5 for this basic feature

I installed CallRecorder from the market. It works adequately for me. The other parties voice is a bit low though (since it doesn't use speaker).

Yes, I understand what you mean. The low volume is due to the recording method. Instead of recording directly from within the phone, it records using the phone's mic for both in and out voices. This makes the volume low for listening the other person's voice and very loud for my own speaking voice.
i oso hope tis will work on HD2~hope some1 manage to fix it~
any recent update of the 2 way call recording in android?
Looking for this as well.. Tested ALL Android apps i could find (free, trial, warez), and none have 2 way call recording without using speakerphone.
At the moment this is preventing me to switch to Android fully, because i need those calls logged and recorded..
Speakerphone works, but quality is just not as good, and there is a lot of noise in background. And, doesn't keep the conversation as private as it should..
Hope someone gets it to work..
It's not an HD2 specific request, Android simply does not support call recording, there's no API. It's a touchy subject because of privacy issues - yes, most other OS'es have it but that doesn't change anything, Google's wary about it.
Until this is changed - or custom bases like CM (they've actually been talking about it very recently) incorporate it, not gonna happen.
I'm sure on MIUI there's "call tools" and from there you can record?

Ah, I wasn't aware. MIUI is a custom base too though, which means that until other bases have this too, a MIUI rom is the only option of having call recording. Can't be done without changing the framework.

Oh well that sucks. MIUI is an amazing ROM/whatever it is.
If you don't mind me asking, are there any other custom base ROMs? New and want to try out some cool looking ROMs.

CM and MIUI are the most-spread custom bases. CM has a lot of 'sidebases', they're basically the same save for a few changes here and there.
DesireHD Sense for example is also another base, but not really custom.

I FOUND A 2 WAY CALLRECORDER!!
Download link:
http://hotfile.com/dl/119559773/b5b0c76/Hd2_android_working_call_recorder.zip.html
I installed android a few days ago on NAND on hd2.
I was having the same problem, couldnt find a normal 2 way call recorder.
BUT I FOUND IT!
I merged some packs together into one file.
First install the .apk inside of it. If that doesnt work try to install one of the 3 zips.
It worked for me. . The other side is even louder than you, so should be able to be heard.

How and where to install these zip files
The link posted above is dead. Is there any other solution that works for HD2 with modern kernels like Fikret's 2.16 ?
2 Way Call Recording (2WCR) has been available for HD2 for a while now. Check Tytung's kernel thread for link to a working app. All recent kernels support the feature.

These specific apps have never and never will work on non-Samsung ROMs. Samsung wrote them specifically to never work on anything but their own firmware. Plenty of alternatives on Play out there that do the specific jobs better.

Phone Call Recorder

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I have to give my recent account and hope it helps others. I have a rooted Nexus 5. I used the One Click Root which was an unbelievably easy root. I am using stock KitKat. I tried finding a phone call recorder, but nothing would work. I finally found the Total Recall app, which worked for a while but decided it was going to work some days but not others. On any given day it would work for a few hours, quit for several and then start again. I emailed back and forth with Killer Mobile, but nothing worked. After reading through the XDA forums on the subject I stumbled across a couple of threads regarding the Call Recorder App from Skvalex. I heard some good things about it so I downloaded it along with Skvalex's AlsaMixer. I read somewhere that you needed that app as well. Don't know if that's true, but I downloaded AlsaMixer first and then Call Recorder. Call Recorder works great. I get a clear sound from both ends of the conversation and it works all the time. I have a week before I have to pay for it, but I can't figure out how to pay. You download the app for free, and in the settings there is a place that says to "buy the full version", but when you do it takes you to Google Play and the download. Beats me. Anyway, the app is working great for me. I don't know how it would work if you are not rooted or are flashing a different ROM. But if you are rooted and with stock KitKat, then this should work for you.

You should uninstall a trial version before purchase the app. ALSA isn't required for CAF recording method which is default for Nexus 5.

I did uninstall it and installed the pay app. It works just as well as the beta version. I'm sold. I will uninstall AlsaMixer.

That explains why I thought I didn't need alsa then. Was surprised on my aosp rom that it only records my side of the conversation without alsa. I didn't realise stock was CAF.

Call recording - feature in CM11 nightlies

Some nightlies ago, call recording feature was introduced in CM11.
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/69850/
For legal reasons, this isn't enabled by default.
To enable it, edit build.prop and reboot.
Code:
persist.call_recording.enabled=true
persist.call_recording.src=4
You will get a recording button while in a call. Playback of records can be done in call history.
Please report if it works.
Notice that it will work only for newer ROMs (mostly nightlies)

In the next releases the feature should be integrated in CM11 stable and then CM11S.

Feel free to look whether the properties exist

i thought Cyanoge will not bring this feature coz it's illegal in some countries
I'm on 33R and I tried it... it did nothing. I made one call and saw no additional options, and I received a call with the same result.
I'm on the latest nightly build 0902, adding those lines to build.prop did nothing, no call record button appears.
thank u vry much for ur reports !

[ DEVICE : N5 ] [ ROM : CrDROID ] [ KERNEL : BIGBUM ]
There are 2 xposed modules to enable this feature without the 2 lines above, doing so on CM11S will do nothing, and you will see in xposed log an error that it was not successful, which is logical because this has not been integrated in CM11S (and i guess it will not, as most of the countries were OnePlus is sold prohibit call recording).
on CM11 builds after nightly 14/08 it will show an extra button.
so...
- If you are using CM11S (the official OnePlus ROM), this will NOT work
- If you are using CM11 monthly (currently M9), this will NOT work
- If you are using CM11 nightly after 20140814, this will show the extra button, will it work? i haven't tried recording.. yet
The values stayed there after a reboot...
Too bad xposed is required, I don't use it and this feature would definitely not justify installing it.
Sept 2nd buid doesn't have the properties in it.
But I can't test any further cause I don't have this phone any more (sold it^^ too big)
This thread may be interesting:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cm11s-will-be-internal-2-way-call-recording-possible.3297/
i'd also like to see this functionality on the 11s
Be warned, if the person on the other end is in some states or countries, recording them without consent is illegal.
Guys will the OnePlus have call recording built in eventually so an app isn't needed?

Yes, you can do it easily by installing the Xposed module RecEnabler
You dont need xposed module.
You need what OP edited, and call record program. You can find it here on xda. It will work fine with caf root methood, select bacon(!) not oneplus from list or you will have distortion. This is for nighly.

s10+ Call recording

Any advice on workaround for this?
I need to have my calls recorded and have been doing so for a while now on PIE its been disabled by Google,
I dont think rooting will be the solution due to my banking app.
Any advice please?
Thanks
You'll have to purchase a Samsung phone with 8.x, so your options are the s/Note 8/9. Also, Magisk can hide root. It's held that functionality for a long time.

I use the Cube call recorder app and it works just fine for me.
There are a few 3rd party apps that will call record. Just have to choose your preference. May have to pay a few bucks for it.
is your S10+ use snapdragon 855 or exynos. I rememeber on exynos version, SS has stock call recorder
I have an exynos S10+ and it has been recording calls just fine.

Don't see the option for call recording available on my Exynos model. I've tried 3rd party call recording applications and all seem to capture from the microphone. Can anyone recommend an application that can record calls without the use of the microphone? On my old Sony Xperia Z3 which I have replaced with S10+ I used to use Call Recorder - SKVALEX that records perfectly clear audio of both side using API, however, the application requires root.
