Sound recording bug on CM13 / AOSP MM roms - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I donno if you are all aware of it, but there's a bug with sound/voice recording in cm 13 / aosp mm (maybe in cm 12 / aosp ll / gpe ll too, i didn't test it yet). When you record your voice via whatsapp / messenger / any other app that has this feature builtin, it records only with on top mic. The bottom mic is dead for this apps. Sure, in the builtin voice recording app you can change to record in wav file and that app will record as it supossed to. But in the other apps mentioned above you don't have a setting like that, so when you want to record via wapp you have to yell in the top mic so that the voice recording can be heard. You can try this for yourselves, just blow into the bottom mic then blow into the top mic using whatsapp's built-in voice recorder and listen to your record afterwards.
I'm posting this in the Q/A section because i didn't manage to fix it and i wanna know if there's someone who did (or working on it).
There is no 'low volume voice recording bug', it's just not recording with the right mic (bottom one)

Works fine for me.
I just sent myself a WhatsApp voice recording.
Not only did the bottom mic work, but it also recorded louder than the top mic.
The top mic had noticeable lower volume than the bottom mic.

Can anyone list cm13 source bugs?

Yeah, that's true, the top mic has a lower volume because is used for noise reduction while you're talking / recording (it's a simple system). What rom are you currently on? Are you using any sound mods?
I'm not the only one so I am not imagining things (see the latest posts): https://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic...ery-low-jflte-on-s4-t-mobile-sgh-m919/?page=2

This is not happening only on CM 13. It happens on aosp mm too (dirty unicorns / jdcteam aosp
##Now i am on Mokee 6.0.1 release (cm based) and the bottom mic just doesn t work in whatsapp.

I am using the JDCTeam ROMs.
I am also using viper4android, but I didn't increase the volume, just use it for the better sound quality.

CM 13 or AOSP MM? And what gapps do you use?

AOSP is my daily, but I'm also a tester for the Optimized CM, so I kinda use both. And I always use open gapps Pico. Don't need all that Google crap.

[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.

axe_1337 - Can you disclose the source of this app / source files? Anything on compatibility with the HD2 ROMs?
Has anyone tried this app? Feedback please
(I will be trying it early next week - travelling now).
remember to use kernel tytung r10, which enabled call record 2 ways already

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.

Question: Phone Recorder Still work in stock KK 4.4.2?

Just wondering phone recording function still working after upgrade to Kitkat 4.4.2?
Current 4.3 is able to record 2-way phone call clearly event with head set. (no need to enable speaker).

i haven't tried kitkat because there are way too many glitches and i'm really happy with 4.3.
but some developers of the apps that can record calls are putting notes that samsung has disabled 2way phone call in kitkat.. so i think answer is no.
stick to 4.3

No the sound output from the recording is just white noise. It seems to work but the recording isn't anywhere near clear
Which recorder apps are you using to record? Normally there is audio source to choose, need to select audio call instead of mic.

This thread is on about the built in call recorder; not a separate app.

In order to use build in recorder, need to root and enable in Xpose module. I am still unroot with stock ROM, I think third party apps also get the audio from the same source. So the unknown is whether the audio source unavailable or the build in recorder not functioning. Don't mind try to install third party apps such as "automatic call recorder", choose Voice Call as audio source to try out?

OmniRom cant record voice calls GT-I9300

Cyanogenmod can record
OmegeRom even has already added Automatic Call Recorder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder
Why OmniRom doesnt record?
I can install but i have only MicRecording working but theres nothing can be heard.
VoiceRecord option needs to work on OmniRom
How to make Voice Record option work in OmniRom?
OmniRom is so good and so fast but this one thing is so important that i would need to change to something else.
Tried putting on different kernel and didnt helped- Boeffla http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-2-2-stable-27-03-t2449408

There are sliders for microphone gain in the STweaks app.
Could it be a WhatsApp issue? As I see people complaining about low audio mostly with WhatsApp.
As an alternative solution, record the sound with something else (like Recordr or Smart Voice Recorder) and send it to that person via WhatsApp. It's not perfect, but it definitely has better audio quality than the WhatsApp recorder.
it's rom related.. and stweaks not working =(

[REQUEST] In-Call Screen of MIUI on Lineage OS

Can anyone confirm if there is a way of changing the In-Call screen to MIUI screen on Lineage OS?
I love MIUI In-Call screen and recording function
Miui stuff is deeply integrated into the framework so its not possible to port any miui stuff to custom ROMs.

U can check out the pixel dialer & contacts mod (the one with new in call ui) ,guess it has audio recording.
Google it.

OK, so I flashed this mod, it worked.
Way better than stock dialer app, however no call recording function available.
Something is better than nothing.
Thank you.

If you are using Lineage '13' then u can use xposed modules for enabling recording.
On nougat, use 3rd party apps instead.
