MicDroid, a Pitch-Correction App - Android Apps and Games

I wrote a small app that basically produces the autotune effect. It's based on the AutoTalent LADSPA plugin, by Tom Baran, available here: http://web.mit.edu/tbaran/www/autotalent.html
The app is available under the name 'MicDroid' in the market, and the source is available at my github, http://github.com/intervigilium/MicDroid
There's still a lot of work to be done, including pretty much the entire GUI.
Currently my priorities are like the following:
1. device compatibility, I have reports of failure on G1, MyTouch3G, Galaxy S
2. graphics (being worked on)
The reason I'm posting here is because I don't have most devices (anymore), and would like some testers with different phones to get me some logs. Testers and feedback would be greatly appreciated!
If you run into force-close, or general app failure, grab LogCollector from the market, run it after my app fails, and send me the log!
Changelog available here: http://intervigil.posterous.com/pages/micdroid

downloading now, have an EVO and if you want me to test on my Hero I can do that too. I'm looking forward to the ability to use this while making an outgoing call, as that was the coolest part of the T-Pain app to me. Not really sure how it would be best to do that though, put a dialer into the app?
*EDIT*
Just tested it, works great so far, I actually would prefer the app to not have auto-rotation as it told me was in the last update.
You think you could have the library and the recording button on the same screen? Just put the button at the top and the library under it or something. I'm really excited for the development of this app, do you have someone working on the UI/icon yet?

So far this works on the Xperia X10i running Android 1.6 (FW R2BA023)...i'll test more tomorrow and have some colleagues test it as well. They all have various different devices so I'll get extra device feedback.

Force closes on Nexus One 2.2 Froyo CM6.

works really well! I have the sprint htc evo 4g
I just recorded a call when calling my fiance and her voicemail picked up.
this is hilarious!
nice job on having it record to .wav too! I'm glad it's not a "funky" format!
keep up the good work

My test device is a Nexus One running CM6-alpha2, what kind of force close did you get?

here's an example I made...

Works well on my Magic 32b running cm5.0.8. Keep up the good work, love ur app!

Its actually working fine now. I had to reboot but the app is great, albeit lacking in the ui department.

force close on Hero running Darchstar 2.1 rom
Is there not a way to do a real time voice changer, as opposed to record, change, and play?

Firstly, where does it force close?
And secondly, I've got a lot of requests for this, but as of current Android 2.2, I don't think it can be done. That was what I tried and failed at earlier, but currently I just don't think the Android audio API is quite mature enough to allow it. You can check the following links for more information.

Force Close when I hit the record button on my HTC Incredible

Bravo for starting this project, this looks like it has a lot of promise.
I have it working on my Incredible running the YASR 1.1 rom.
Thanks so much and can't wait to keep testing this app out.

More details please, you're the first person to report a problem on the Droid Incredible.

is there any chance of adding the ability to choose a "save to" format? my colleagues and i were playing with it on our various devices and wanted to send them to each other via MMS.
the only problem was the WAV file sizes ended up being too large (for anything over 8 seconds).
perhaps AMR or some other standard compressed format usable in MMS messages?
i did find some workarounds to get the wav files attached and working but it required 3 different apps.
thanks and love the work you have started on this.

Warning: rant about Android APIs
I actually chose wave format because it's pretty much just writing raw short data, which makes it easy on the device CPU. The problem with Android right now is that I haven't seen any sort of encoder API, which is lousy because there is hardware support for AMR compression. (for voice, and also if you use MediaRecord API)
If I were to integrate a "save as format" feature right now, I'd have to implement my own encoder, whether it be for MP3, AMR, etc, which is again, slow, and kind of a pain.
The one saving grace of this is that if I was to implement a "save as format" feature right now, it would only need to encode when you select "send to", which means I'm not going to dismiss it until I can prove it won't suck too badly.
/rant
Also, current status update:
I'm working on some device compatibility issues right now, I'm hoping to push out some updates in the next day or so which will hopefully address some force-close issues when recording.
Graphics are being worked on, it's something I'm aiming for in the near future, so stay tuned!

FC on N1 running Froyo.

Packed-Pandora "Fully-Loaded" Rom

First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.
I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).
My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.
3rd party apps:
Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage
I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.
There are two versions:
One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.
Registry tweaks:
Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.
Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.
Issues:
This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.
Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)
For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!
This is an OS only flash.

Have fun!
going to try it now, looks good, thanks for posting it
It Looks Nice bro
I will try it and get back
Thanks
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.
Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.
None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.
I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.
I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.
I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.
Best wishes,
a little error with voice dailing with headset
Nice Rom, surely a fast one but
when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...
i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:
From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)
To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)
and it works....
still a nice rom....
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change
I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.
It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
Downloading now...
Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.
I have some questions:
Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?
Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?
How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?
Best regards !!
Thanks pdamol for the fix.
Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.
In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
Hope you both enjoy the rom!

Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.
I think it is Camera 3
Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.
Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.

GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.
G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.
Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.
10 button: yes

Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.

I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.
Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
Hi charly_mx,
Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.
Thanks,

I just got it!!! Look.
The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.
Best regards.!!

Not 100% sure, but this loads faster on mine. I "overclock" to slow to save battery haha but I didn't notice a difference running hr3. I've been going back and forth trying to get what I need. The blue lock screen overlay is actually the MAIN reason I am doing this. Stupid, huh?
Key factor may be that I DID update the radio.
I did leave out superuser, spare parts, and anything else that can be installed normally for those who don't want them. I change my mind about apps hourly so I try to keep default installs as clean as possible to avoid troublesome adb commands.
This sounds very intersting. Does it include the Exchange integration from the 5.0H build?
This is EXACTLY what I've been waiting for... soon as you get locked down which apps ur keeping, I'm on it.
Sounds great twisted. I'm in love with 5.0.2H because of the mail app and pdfviewer. Yesterday I stepped up to ADP1.5 and although it was fast, it's missing these key components that I use daily. I look forward to you app log.
This is really interesting. I can't wait to hear(read) thee results. Lol

It currently has the 5.0.2 exchange. I saw no point in taking it out. I don't use it but I know it's far easier to remove system components like that than it is to implement them once an update is installed.
So far I see no real difference in Gmail. Mail seems to crash for me in 1.5 with something about a Plus account - looks like 5.0.2 mail stays. Maps and Market will be updated because I see no reason not to.
Any thoughts on Gmail? Anyone see any updates worth having?
Can you put the H build camera in the build instead of the 1.5.3 camera? The HTC camera was far superior than the google implementation. That's all I can think of so far

H camera crashed when using the camera button. The one I'm using is the one from the "add features to 5.0.xH" thread. Seems to be the most stable and all you really lose is zoom. Forgot to take out additional HTCAlbum, though. Planning to fix this and some other updates when I get back to my hideout. If I can remap the H camera button I will get that in there, but that takes a little longer than just swapping apks.

Looks great, and appears to fit me perfectly!
However, what is the difference between the two builds that you link to in your first post?

Sorry apps2sd is still coming. Having technical difficulties with getting both my G1 and computer to recognize the same partitions. The new version has the Andreoid keyboard included along with updates to youtube, maps, and market. The slider problem still exists for a day or two. Wanted to get the new market in place because I isolated the market download issue to have been cooperation between market and launcher. Now that the new market accepts downloads I can fix launcher. Expect updates tomorrow. I have a 4-hour block of boredom. Hehe.

Still isolating libs and such. JesusFreke redid the kernel so the program alone was not enough. Didn't think that far ahead when I was throwing parts together. I'm learning as I tear apart the 7 builds on my desktop. I just have to teach myself as I go.
Open source never meant well-documented.
Plans are in the works to go backwards from the HTC build, but like most others I need something to default back to when I'm not testing. Building this version was first priority with that being my next step. That is when the speed increases will occur with some new features. Can't say I'm not a dreamer, right?

HTC Apps - how to get them on Magic?

Hi, I have tried nearly all roms on xda-dev. The Hero Rom rocks totally - still to slow on Magic...hope for some optimized Roms.
But, what about the great htc apps from Hero? there must be a way to get them on other roms... One has to be able to export them.
With the HTC apps you have not to much of this google-stuff onboard, possible to have your OWN calender and contacts etc. You have Ms Exchange and many more options...like taking of 3g-connection! No words about the camera, it's rockin!!!
So would be great to have some guys thinking the same and want to do something about that.
brianius
The main thing preventing the apps from being ported directly are the Hero specific add dependencies. The apps seem to make require different libraries than other roms, probably due to the high level of integration with Rosie and the Hero rom. As an example, Peep won't install since it's missing shared libraries.
Maybe once we can understand how the Hero rom is structured better, then we can start porting apps.
How about this as a starting point
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530572
Seems like a good place to start, I might have a go later if I have time, sure there is someone else who'll give it a crack.
My personal favs to port would be the music player, the browser, and maybe people. At least we'll have flash in October anyway so thats not worth it yet
Cyanogen has the Camera ported perfectly to his build for the Dream. I think we NEED this ported to the Sapphire. SOON!
Anyone know what dependencies we need?
I ported hero´s camera to ION ROM, but when you try to play a video in the gallery force closes.

What sort of issues are you having, and what ROM are you using? I had some issues with bluetooth and tts with CM7. I've switched over to EB 2.3.3, and all is working well.
Make sure you have everything you need installed.
Go to settings/voice input & output/text-to-speech settings/
If "Install voice data" isn't grayed out, click on that...it will take you to the market to download the voice engine.
I haven't noticed any problems with my tts, running my current ROM, but I also don't use Pico. I use Svox. It cost around $2-3 for the voice download, but it's much nicer than Pico.
Good Luck.
I'm running stock GB 2.3.3
I was hoping it would read text as they came in similar to the new WP7 Mango update but apparently the framework doesn't support that yet.
It takes me to the market, i download the application but then it uninstalls itself and shows that i have never downloaded the application before. I might install Faux123 rom and see if i can get it to work.

What app are you trying to d/l? I've never really tested out text message readers. I know Handcent will read the text, but IDK if you can set it to read as they come in.
I did test out Vlingo way back, and I must say...it was pretty good. I just don't like that it requires data usage (I'm on a limited data plan). But, for reading texts, Vlingo was pretty awesome. It even understood things like LOL (rather than say L-O-L, it would read it as "laughing out loud"). It even translated WTF, which of course made me laugh like a 12yr old kid.
I'm not downloading any. I was hoping the stock messaging application would do this as i kind of like the layout but sucks as far as security is concerned but that is an android thing.
I'll give the Vlingo a try and see if it works.
Thanks for the help.

[MOD] Enable Call Recorder Functionality on ROMS Besides Sky ICS 2.3.5

ENABLE CallRecorder API RECORDING FUNCTIONALITY ON ROMS BESIDES SKY ICS 2.3.5​(AND ICS LEAKS)​
This thread is for those of us who wish to have the ability to use CallRecorder, but would rather not use seanzscreams' Sky ICS 2.3.5, a Roger's UXJK7-based ROM, or an ICS leak. If you're running Sky ICS 2.3.5 or an ICS leak, this thread shouldn't concern you as these ROMs have this functionality built in. If you're using a Roger's-based ROM, this probably doesn't apply to you either. The bottom line: If CallRecorder works for you, that's terrific. You can go find a cure for cancer, or pop that giant zit on your back that's growing a goatee. Either way, I don't care. But please, stop wasting everyone's time with your false-positive statements saying that CallRecorder works for everybody. IT DOESN'T WORK FOR EVERYBODY. CAPISCE?
I've been having select individuals test this out for a short time now, and it seems to work rather well on a number of different ROMs. So far, it's been reported to me that this works on Romracer's 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and faux's 2.3.6 kernels, as well as AlienROM and NexusMOD 2.x-4.x. I'm sure it works on others as well, so give it a shot and post your experiences for everyone's benefit.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so basically there's a reason why all the different call recorder apps you've already tried aren't working (Total Recall, newer versions of Call Recorder). You can thank AT&T for this, plainly and simply. Their Stalinist codemonkeys sucked this capability out of your device. So to remedy this, what we have here are some modified libaudio libraries and an app called CallRecorder. These modified libaudio files will remove the Goebbels garbage that AT&T left behind and allow CallRecorder to record 2-way conversations directly from the Android API (not the speakerphone), and, as far as I know, without beeps.
Standard Disclaimer: I won't take responsibility for anything that might go wrong. I seriously suggest that you do a nandroid backup in CWM before starting this procedure. And, in the likely event that this does work for you, just hit the thanks button on your way outta town. Thank you..
First, you need to be rooted with ClockWorkMod Recovery already flashed. If you are, proceed. If not, there are threads in the Development section that will help you accomplish this. These directions assume that you have a basic operational understanding of ClockWorkMod Recovery. With that being said, here's what you need to do.
1. Do a nandroid backup in CWM. JUST DO IT.
2. Download "call_rec_libs_skyrocket_2.3.5.zip" and "CallRecorder_v.1.2.2_trial.zip" below.
3. Flash "call_rec_libs_skyrocket_2.3.5.zip" in CWM.
4. "Wipe cache partition" and "Wipe dalvik cache" in CWM.
5. Reboot and make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in Settings-->Applications. Then extract "CallRecorder_v.1.2.2_trial.apk" from "CallRecorder_v.1.2.2_trial.zip", copy it onto your phone and install it. Once the installation is complete, you can un-check "Unknown Sources" if you wish maintain the security of your phone in that way.
6. Open CallRecorder, then hit the menu touch key (lower left corner, next to home), and then go to Preferences.
7. Change the "Record calls from" option from "Kernel with 2-way call recording patch" to "Standard Android API"
8. Customize any other settings if you wish, and then call your mom (or voicemail ) to test the 2-way recording functionality.
9. Complete the call, then open CallRecorder. You should see the recorded call on the screen. Touch it to play back the call. To your amazement, you should hear both sides of the conversation.
10. Live long and prosper..
Thanks goes out to noodles2224, who lent me his updated copy of CallRecorder for tesing purposes (which I have now purchased from the Market). Credit for the libaudio files goes to seanzscreams (as far as I know, I have no idea where he got them from), and skvalex for CallRecorder. All I did was put 2 and 2 together and throw the libaudio files into a CWM flashable zip.
CallRecorder is an app that's found on Android Market, and the version that I've attached is a trial only. Support the developer (skvalex) by purchasing the full version from the Market here ($5). I'm sure skvalex spent A LOT of time creating this app, so show this Russian bad-ass that you appreciate his work and help him justify all that time spent. If you do buy it from the Market, be sure to uninstall the trial version beforehand.
On a side note, FUGG YOU AT&T. I know you troll these walls.. I don't like being controlled. Leave your tyrannical codemonkey bulls)-(|t north of the 38th Parallel, where it belongs.
Bump. Many thanks. Been looking for these.

I'll go ahead and ask this to get it out of the way.
Does this work on a stock odexed 2.3.6 ROM? It says it works on one of the 2.3.6 kernals, but that's different than stock.
Thanks for this MOD. ANything that puts the phone the way it should be (without AT&Ts BS) is a step in the right direction.
nice mod, should help a lot of people. Call recording is always fun.
But honestly, please leave the political comments out of your post... really. I have no problem with your dislike of communists, but there's no need to dictate that here.
PS....
Call recorder from market works on stock unrooted SR. Option for kernel selected in settings or Android API.

I was wondering about the lib files on the odexed 2.3.6 stock ROM. The apk is no good if the libs can't be modified on the phone.

Funny never worked for me. Only thing that ever worked was on my captivate and that was total recall and it only worked in speakerphone mode.

I'll bet you a shiny quarter that you either 1) have an SGH-i727R or 2) you're using a UXKJ7-based ROM.
The Roger's base doesn't appear to suffer from the same "deficiency" as the UCKJ2 base. I guess I should have mentioned that..
Either way, I'm glad it works for you. However, not everyone is having the same good fortune..

Why iandr0idos, are you calling me... a dictator?? hahaha
I admit, not very PC language, even though I had no intention of offending anyone. I'll try to take it down a notch in the future. For the record, I don't dislike communists. I have Chinese friends, and I'm certain there's many nice people whom I'll never meet living in North Korea. It's more-so the establishment of despotism and any oppressive deviation thereof that I don't particularly care for.

Odexed shouldn't make any difference. The libraries have no .odex counterpart, and you can still install deodexed .apks on an odexed ROM. Make a nandroid backup, and give it whack.

The libraries aren't optimized. odex/deodex doesn't matter.

PM me that quarter. I restored mine from MyBackup Pro to my brothers in the AT&T store before he walked out with it this passed Saturday. Works just fine stock unrooted. Got mine from the market.
Weird it works for some and not others tho.

A "thanks" will have to suffice. haha
Yep, it's true. The very first thing I did was purchase the Market version. After ten minutes of frantically experimenting will all the program options and still no joy, I hit the refund button. Then I embarked on this "crusade"..
The second I dropped those libaudio libraries in there, *p00f!* It magically started working..
I will concede that when I first started looking, I found an old, deprecated alpha version of CallRecorder that, for some strange reason did work half-assedly. Nothing newer than that did, though.
You have me thinking now....
My veraon was from the market but I am rooted and rom'd. I did a data and apk restore to my brothers phone. Knowing it can modify anything if it isn't rooted I wonder now why it worked. My bud just got the SR and the market one didn't work but he removed and installed my backup and it did. He's stock no root also. Now I'm just confused about it lol.

You're very welcome. I started recording all my calls when I got my Nokia N95 4 years ago, and I have no intention of stopping any time soon..
I even have SIPDroid recording all of my Google Voice calls now. CallRecorder's great and all, but the compressed 64 kilobit audio of a VOIP call makes these sound RIDICULOUS.
Now if I could only figure out how to get the DTMF tones to work flawlessly.....
Please confirm, Can I use it on my Galaxy S with CodeNameAndroid 1.4.0 ROM ? Thanks!
This is great! Anyone had luck with Total Recall yet?
I'm still using a backup of the call recorder from skyics rom. Worked on the note, captivate, several skyrockets, an aria and a bunch of other devices also. I've just restored to each phone from my tibu backup and no probably at all on any of them.
<insert witty signature here>
I intalled this a couple of days ago and here is my review...
As always FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS IN THE OP TO THE LETTER!
Here are a couple of things that may be of interest. Of course, this is how it works on my phone...how it works on yours may differ. I am using the ALien 6 ROM (and loving it!).
1. The trial version of CallRecorder included in the OP only let me open it one time before it said the trial was up. This wasn't a huge problem for me because I was planning on buying the full version anyway to support the DEV and get the fully functional version. I would have liked to do some testing before the purchase, but everything worked out good anyway. The App's Dev claims there is a place here on XDA that you can get the trial, so maybe it will give you more time than the version in the OP does. It IS worth the purchase though. And as stated, make sure you delete the trial version before installing the full (purchased) version.
2. On my phone, the recorder works great. It even records both sides of the conversation while using bluetooth. Several people in the Google Play page claim the person on the other end of the line cannot be heard. In my case, there is a slight drop in volume from the original conversation to the recorded version, but it is not huge. I could clearly hear both sides of the recorded converstation without touching the volume control...but there is a slight difference.
3. The app works great. There is an option to set it to vibrate once recording starts and stops but I haven't used it. There is an icon that stays on the top notification area of the screen while the app is active. It changes color while a conversation is recorded. SO, basically, it isn't even noticed while it is doing its thing. There isn't a way to easily turn the app off once it is activated. It runs as a service on the phone until the service is physically stopped (through settings) but it is not a big deal. There is no noticible battery usage or anything else when it is active and you never know when a call comes in that you want to record so its a good thing it runs as a service. The phone deep sleeps just fine with it running. A toggle would be nice...maybe with the ability to pause and resume recording at choice, but I didn't notice any such feature. However, there are several configurable points within the app's settings that I haven't tried that seem to allow exceptions and rules for which calls are recorded and how they are recorded. There seems to be alot of such options.
4. The recorded quality of the call is great (even with the before mentioned volume difference). You can choose between several formats for the call to be saved in and you can chose where the calls are saved to. Remeber, the app records the call as you hear it. This means if you are in a bad connection area where words are droped or slurred or where there is a lot of static that the recording will reflect it. Its not the apps fault, it is the connections fault.
5. Someone on the Google Play site made a comment about being able to add notes to recordings...well, guess what, you can! If you long touch the redording, a menu of options appears. Some of them are "delete" "move", and yes "add note" as well as many others.
To sum it up, this works great! If anything happens or if I think of anything else that someone else might want to know about it I will post it here. Enjoy!
