Is there any way to record the phone conversation on TP2?
Yes it's easy.
You can use the free cab file ACR (Automatic Call Recorder) available from these forums or the shareware Resco Voice Recorder. Both will record calls automatically but ACR has the advantage of giving you the choice after the call of keeping the recording or not. I also had to install mskip's 2 way recording Cab to enable my TP2 to record both sides of the conversation as it wasn't picking up the other party's voice, only the feedback through the microphone. It seems that some devices need this to be enabled. There are 2 versions of this Cab. One is the "plus" version that additionally inserts the option to record on the Call screen. These are also available in these forums.

Just found the post for the ACR Cab. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536472
Thanks for the link buddy
ACR works flawlesly bothway on TP 2 (Unbranded TP2)
I can recommend VITO Audio Notes that worked flawlessly on HP 614c and now on TP2.
I also enjoy ACR but find a couple problems. It doesn't record every one of my calls for some reason, but I haven't paid attention enough to see if other things were going on with the phone to prevent a true recording.
Two other observations...
1. I have a ton of junk phone calls and voicemail checks that I need to go through and delete the recordings of.
2. Does anyone else feel a bit creepy going through your old phonecalls?

first of all go to options, and there you have to click on something that will require you to ask you "You want to save this call" after each call. There is a little pop UP....it's a very important file, if are required to keep up with phone call recording eg your girlfriend. I had the ACR, but now, I am using the build-in incall recorder. This doesn't auto record the calls, but give you an option if you want to record it, you have to each time start the recording by a little key build up in your menu, when you in call. so ACR is auto call, with an option to ask you each time if you want to save the call, and incall not auto.

Thanks. I didn't want to make it seem like it was a problem that I had all those junk calls. It's completely understandable. I guess I was just pointing it out because people might not realize how many worthless phone calls they make!

I concur. Listen this software saved my life twice. Once for a lie my bank tried to cover up and another for a car dealership lie.
People lie consistently... you need to protect yourself in this day and age.
I say video and audio record EVERYTHING.
all this crap about rights... what about our rights?
Please. I could care less about the debate... like ksm said.... Vito audio notes is an awesome piece of software. Now they just need to have it be a answering machine and it will be top notch.
Remember you read it here first.

Would anyone have an idea of how to map Rhodium Keyboard Controller to initiate the recording of a call rather than having to go through menus while on the call? I had this with Resco on my old Palm - but the current resco doesn't seem to have this ability unless perhaps there is some ARGUMENT that could be coded with the executable file to begin recording.
Like the other person - I was using ACR and loved the choice to save after every call - but the inability to sort through these calls quickly and play them was a problem and when multiple calls would come in - or conference calls - it seemed to loose track of which one it was recording.
Anyone found a solution?

Hello everybody, I have LG G2 D802 since many months and I love it, but I have the same issue as everyone about sound recorded is bad...
I have done some test with Xcam, and according to which audio source you selected, sound is way better next !
But if possible I'd like to have this better sound with 3rd apps, especially Snapchat.
So do you think it's possible to set voice recognition as default audio record for media instead of camcorder or mic ?
Or maybe if someone know how to see snapchat apk smali, and look for something as "MediaRecorder" or "SetAudioSource" and there might be 0x00000001 (mic source) set, and it would be nice to change it to 0x00000006 to set it as voice recognition.
Thanks a lot for your help.
No one having any idea about editing apk to change audio ?
Thanks.
Hello, still looking for a way to set Vooce recognition by default, at least for snapchat app, no ome have idea if it's possible or not ?
Thanks a lot.
I'm a new Moto user, coming from using Samsung phones exclusively. I was checking my list of things I'm missing from using my rooted Samsung phones that I've come to really depend on and what I can live without using my new MXPE. I'm really liking this phone so far but I do miss having native call recording on my Note 5 (which I sold). I'd rather not have to use a separate app for this, having it inside my phone's dialer like I had on my Note 5 was brilliant and extremely useful.
I'm unlocked, rooted and Xposed with GravityBox.
Is there an Xposed module that would work on this phone? Thanks for any assistance with this.
I use Drupe for a dialer replacement. Includes call blocking (missing on MXPE) call recording and quite a bit more.
Call Recorder by skvalex, along with AlsaMixer (ROOT) is what you'll want for a more seamless experience. Drupe is nice, but is a bit clunky for what you're looking to do. If you utilize AICP's Android N release, 11/28 is the most stable at the moment, you can get Call Blocking within it's Dialer. You do not need an xPosed module. Call Recorder will pop up a record bubble button you can move anywhere on your screen, and even set to only show during a call or auto-record, with cloud backup as well. It's a pretty nice setup if you need call recording.
I'll take a look at these options, thank you.
The apps I've tried so far simply don't do anything.
Anyone know a solution?
If you are rooted, use viper4android, best system wide equalizer.
There are some issues most people forget about or aren't aware of. First of all, there is an EQ already installed. Snapdragon Audio or something. Google hides the system EQ in music apps. I know you can get to it from the settings of Google Play Music, but suspect it's accessible in other music apps. Secondly, Android can only use 1 EQ app at a time. You have to disable the System EQ for any 3rd party ones to work. This is done by going to Settings -- Applications -- Toggle Show System Apps -- and select MusicFX. Disable it.
As for Viper4Android -- Yes, it's a great choice, but the Snapdragon EQ built into the Essential is pretty comparable (but lacking features/options). Viper4Android can't handle usb-c audio, though. On the Essential, it thinks the USB-C dongle/adapter is the Phone Speaker and thus, you have to adjust sound via the Phone Speaker tab. This means fewer options. I've checked around and it's not a problem with the Essential phone but one for several phones lacking a 3.5mm headphone jack. I am going to wait until Viper4Android is updated to support this. Sadly, this app doesn't get many updates and for a year (seemingly) it appeared to be abandoned until version 2.5.5 dropped.

I'm using v4a via the Magisk 14+ module from repo (latest version) and it's actually working via the Headset with the factory dongle. The phone speaker settings also work independently for tuning the on-board speaker.
I'm not exactly an audiophile, but it seems to be doing its job just fine.
I'm on NMJ32F, so maybe Oreo is a different story

That's great! They must have fixed it since I tried it. I'll check this out later. Are you using anything for init as it's required in the module description or using Lineage?

No, even with init utils, I wasn't able to get anything with Audio Modification Library to work as the AML 2.2 module itself was causing Magisk to fail entirely to the point it lost root and couldn't read its own logs, so I gave up pretty quick.
I'm using ShadySquirrel's ViPER4Android FX for Magisk v14+. It didn't process at first, but this was resolved by copying /magisk/viper4android/system/etc/audio_effects.conf to /magisk/viper4android/system/etc/vendor/audio_effects.conf
I tried several hours to get v4a working, and never even had the files you mention in those locations to copy.
also, gk1984, the built in equalizer doesn't work system-wide. It works on apps that support it.
edit: Okay found those files this time. Why do we have to install a separate apk to get the interface to show AFTER installing the magisk module. I seriously don't get it, but okay so I got that file copied over and the only version that will let me download the driver is the io_test one I found somewhere around here. Will test later.
edit: Just keeps asking me to download drivers every single time I reboot. I got past this once, but I don't remember how anymore.
edit: after 3 or 4 tries it seems to have gone through.
Edit: But despite all that effort, it just says processing NO. Can't get it to go.

So if EQ is already pre-installed, then each music app can use it and EQ needs to be adjusted in each app or do these apps have their own built-in EQ?

If the phone has it's own EQ built in, which is MusicFX or sometimes AudioFX in the system apps (other phones might have something else too), then I am fairly certain it's universal -- set it in any app and it works throughout all apps. The problem is Android treats EQs as music-only features. So some apps are not affected by it like YouTube or other video apps, likely games, and notification sounds.
With that said, some apps have their own EQ that only affects that app. I don't use these much so I can't say if one overrides the other or if the app EQ is combined with the OS EQ.

I will search for apps on the phone to see if and what apps are pre-installed for EQ. It is kind of sad if YouTube or other video/audio app won't use EQ that was set in another app. I believe EQ should be in the settings of the phone under Sounds for example.

I agree, it should be in the main sound settings section, not hidden. You can get to the EQ in the settings of Google Play Music. I only mentioned it being called MusicFX (which is the name for the Essential) because you have to disable it to use another EQ app.
Also, if you remove Deep Buffer (it's in the system code, not an app), then EQ effects should work across all processed audio. I've only done this with Viper4Android though. You can remove deep buffer with a Magisk Module.
I've tried the remove deep buffer, the v4a, and disabling the built in EQ (cause it didn't work either). The thing is, nothing works permanently on slacker radio. I did find some free app that works, you just have to turn it off and back on whenever there's a pause in the music that causes audio signal to BT to halt.

I finally tried this suggestion this morning with no success. V4A doesn't process with this module and copying the files you mentioned and rebooting for the file copy to take affect. But now that we have a pretty capable TWPR, I might just flash the ARISE sound mod. It modifies system, which goes against the point of Magisk, but maybe it'll work. I used to use it on my last phone.
Update: ARISE doesn't work either. Won't process, likely due to enforcing SELinux (I don't want to change this for security reasons) and not sure if it fixes the issue of audio effects being tied to Phone Speaker tab in Viper.

In regards the the C-port being read as speakers, try going into your developers options. I use a Stylo 4 no Root and I get an option called "Disable USB Audio Routing". This in theory should stop your phone from making that error.

Viper4Android and Arise4Android (both of which I have used before/still use) work on this phone and on Android 9. My best guess is you didn't disable MusicFX. You can check by opening an app that works with the default Android EQ such as Google Play Music, go to the settings, and then tap EQ or Equaliser. If it launches Viper4Android, you should be good to go. If it opens Snapdragon Audio+, MusicFX is not disabled.
If this test launches Viper4Android or you did disable MusicFX for sure, then Exit the Viper4Android app from the 3 dot button and open it again. I have had to do this on occasion.
Change the bools from false to true in /vendor/build.prop that involve saying anything about Dolby.
Thank you! This actually worked! @lexOehm
Fwiw, since someone recently commented on this. If you use Viper4Android the best feature you can use is the Input Response Profiles feature. There are a few out there
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216193
The best ones are the IRS TubeAmplifier And Technics Preamplifier ones. They make your audio sound warm is the only way I can describe it.
I need to use my Moto G4 Plus as a secondary device, where I am required to keep recordings of my calls. I've tried multiple apps on the Play Store, but none of them are able to record audio from both sides. I figured since root was the only way out, if there was a ROM which offered Call recording in the system app, that would be better and much more stable. I haven't used the device in a while now, so it'd really help if someone who's still in the custom ROM scene could tell me which ROMs offer this feature in-built.
Thanks
