Does anyone know of an app that works with the GS3 that will allow certain contacts to ring out loud even when the phone has been muted?
I tried one called My VIP Calls, but it either doesn't work with the GS3 or I didn't set it up right. Either way, I couldn't get it to work.
I am hoping someone here has used something that works with the GS3 and can point me in the right direction.
Thank You!!

I use tasker for this, I just make a profile that says incoming call from, and I select all the contacts, then have it play a sound. I then put my phone on silent. Works well.
Try selective silence. Free in Play store.

Auto ring seems to be working well........I will keep trying this one for awhile.
I appreciate the quick replies. Once again, XDA has come to the rescue!

Geez, there are so many call recording apps on the market. Most of them just simply doesn't work. Has anybody found a working call recorder for the i337 and/or the i9505G? I'm really getting tired of testing them out despite reviews. Such a pain to completely remove some of them. Sort of got ripped off on another claiming it works on the s4.
I would love to record calls via Bluetooth. Not sure if that's even out there or not either.
If you would like to share any information please let me know! Thanks!

I've been trying it, but when I go to play recordings it just shows the time 0 seconds and doesn't play. Any suggestions?

There is a modded call recorder in the Apps section that works fine. You can also use "Call Recorder" by SkvAlex, there is another post in the Apps section on how to get it going. I have used both and if you follow the directions they both work fine. If you decide to use them, make sure you read the entire threads before you do to see what to expect. Personally, I am now using SkvAlex's Call Recorder APK because I like the interface and how it works. You can use a free version (avaialable here at XDA). It might be a trial, but I would suggest purchasing the app. The modded call recorder I mentioned to begin with is free. Either way, you can search the Apps section for each thread. Good luck.
Thanks. I'll try the free one and if it works I'm way more than willing to pay for it.

Scott I noticed that the GoldenEye ROM seems to have a call recorder as well. Do you know if it works for sure? I'm tempted to swap ROMs if it does.

agent929, I forgot, ACR 6.8 broke recording. The previous version, 6.5, works fine. I had to revert to 6.5.
Here is a link to the ACR version 6.5 APK: http://www.wuala.com/oakd/public/xda/ACR_6.5.apk/
Sorry about giving you bad info before.

Does everything else work well with the GoldenEye ROM as well? Are there any problems that you have encountered that may not be on XDA?
EDIT: I downloaded the GoldenEye ROM, and noticed something that bothers me. Hangouts will not work over WiFi. I know how to fix that in the SQL editor but that's really a bother to me especially when I have to do it fairly often. Is there a gapps package that I can flash or something that will make this go away? Thanks.

Please explain. I just got my fiance a GS4. It shipped with MF3 update already on it. I rooted it but the same call recorder apps that work on my GS4 don't work on hers. I am searching for answers.
It's going to be the kernel on her phone. It won't work with a lot of them. I never tested on MF3 so I wouldn't be a good source to help you there. You can always safestrap amd flash MDOB.

I'm experiencing the same problem and hope someone has a helpful solution
I've noticed the volume on the Note 3 to be the same as on the 2, however the sound seems to be much better. Especially when using an external speaker via bluetooth.
Sound is better than sgs3 but it is a lot quieter. It badly needs an amp

Without custom recovery can we get boosted sound?
I am using V4A mod after rooting.

You sure can, Viper4Android.
this works pretty good, just extract the files in the system folder and place them in the corresponding folder on your phone with root explorer, change permissions then reboot.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469463
Are there any sound boosters that work on Samsung Note 3? All of the above mentioned are not compatible so far. Ringer is very quiet at max volume

Is this the default_gain file mod?
I couldn't find the stock file. It definitely worked on 4.1.2 touchwiz, but I can't see how it would work if there's no file to begin with.
Used to be in system/etc/ folder but for the life of me, can't find it now on 4.3

Viper4Android allows you to customize headphone sound and phone speaker sound separately just like a few other equalizer/sound mod apps do. It's available in the Play Store and it works wonders. The sound I got out of my old phone (S3) and my current phone (Note 3) with V4A made a huge undeniable difference.
Link to download the .apk and install from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vipercn.viper4android4x&hl=en
It has multiple types of volume boost functions along with a great equalizer and many other useful features.

When u unzip the file preferably in root expkorer there are two folders in the file go thru them one has 2 file in it one has 1 file in it. The one that has one in it is the one u need follow the folders name that that file was in and put it in the corresponding folder in system. I know it sounds confusing I will edit this in a few I was typing this and realized I deleted the zip after moving the file.
Edit....
Move this file to system>etc>(file)

I definitely know how/where to put the file....permissions...etc.
Just wanted to see if it actually made a difference since stock TW doesn't have this file anymore. If not having a stock file in place to begin with, adding a edited version would seem to be useless.
Just curious
Move this to system>etc>

Ahh ok. Didn't realize there was another file that controls this.
The one I remember was default_gain.conf or something like that. I used to manually edit that file to suit my needs.
Thanks for the info. Gonna try it now.

The camera has a setting to disable the shutter sounds but I don't see one for the video recorder. I made a few searches for what might be the associated audio files so I could rename them, but no luck. Anyone know the filenames?
Edit: Found this in the description of the Camera Sound off! app:
"The LG's camera app has own not removable sound files!"

You need to be rooted and use Root Explorer or equivalent so you can view system files. The file name is VideoRecord.ogg. It's found in system/media/audio/UI.
Backup somewhere in case you want it back and then remove the file.

Your right but it will work for any third party apps that use the video record function. Also if put device on silent it will be muted on stock camera.

For call & Sms you can use aFirewall... You can hide the app and recall it with a custom number on your dialer. You can setup a password to access to the log and a fake password that allow you to access to the app but in fake mode with empty logs.
