I've tried EVERY telephone call recording software on the market for my Rooted evo4g, the best I've ever gotten was barealy audible quality from the person on the other end, my voice fine.
I've heard conflicting info whether the problem is hardware or software, apparently overseas an android has an option every time you make a call to record it or not.
Is there any solution to clearly and loudly record (legally of course) a telephone conversation ?
Apparently I gather it's three files that are missing from the US version that prevents this.
Is it possible?

Can U do call recording on touch pro? nearly all HTC phones cannot record calls, even with third party software. I remember that when I changed my ROM on my Jasjar from a phone dealer, Call Recording worked but speaker phone stopped. Are there any registry settings?
I'm curious to know this as well. None of my PPC phones were able to do this but my OLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDDD Nextel i930 phone was able to and it was based off of the old Windows Mobile CE platform, so I don't see why the Raphael can't handle the task...
Maybe because call recording is illegal in many countries...
Try this:
Resco Audio Recorder
It can record all Your calls automatically.
It can do. But it depends on the hardware whether or not it records both sides of the call. This was not the case with the tytn ii. And unfortunately I dont hold out hope for the raph.
Thats why I keep my old SE phone.
The "illegal" argument is pretty thin, its 100% legal if you inform the person you are talking with that you are recording.
This is a useful tool for some people, and its just silly that HTC refuse to implement this feature.
I use VITO Audionotes on my kaiser right now and the calll recording works pretty well, especially on speaker phone.
In Sweden the law says that if one of the callers is aware that the call is recorded, then it's legal. If none of the callers know, then it is illegal.
" if one of the callers is aware that the call is recorded, then it's legal. If none of the callers know, then it is illegal."
?
sounds odd should that not be if both callers know it's legal
but if one dont it's illegal ?
if none of them know then who's doing the recording?
apart from the operators and secret service ?

Really? How did you get it to work? Just tried it and I get no sound at all. Haven't tried speakerphone mode, I imagine that would work, but it is kind of useless.
Great news for you guys interested in recording calls (personally I'm not) There WILL definitely be a recording feature built into the Touch Pro stock ROM
Check out the "Privacy Restrictions" on the first page of the Quick Start Guide!
...but that means call recording is possible?
Sounds like it!

hi folks, my virgin post to this almighty forum is as below...
I'm using an ancient recording software audionotes 1.32 with my HD. all good except that, sometimes after recording (not an in-call one) the other party in a phone call cannot hear my voice no matter incoming or outgoing, i have a clear reception though. a soft reset will bring it back.
I couldn't identify exactly how it happend. after a few tries, here's my guess. it appears after a short duration of recording, say minutes, the phone calls are not affected. however, for a long duration as i used to record a conference, it's glitchy.
I'm pretty sure it's not a rom or device dependent thing because it occurs with my HD and P800/P3600i and various ROMs etc. my setting of audionotes is, screen is not turned off/no phone call auto-recording/recording stored in device
please anyone got a clue or someone proves mine is not an isolated case?
cheers!

Since there is a temptation to use open wifi sources with our phones, I was wondering if there is a firewall program that can protect the phone from the network it is connected to?
Also, does there exist a good call recorder program? Particularly one that you can set to record automatically based on caller id. I.e. if a call comes in (or is made) from a particular phone number as soon as the call is connected the recording starts.
Short answer no & no.
Unfortunately call recording in general sucks. I've only heard of apps that work with speaker phone. I'm told it's an os level design decision.

Yeah, could you imagine the problems if phone companies allowed anyone to record voice conversations.
I was about to argue with you and then I realized what you did. Nice.
Now that I have successfully rooted my phone, thanks to Wizzrah's Evita toolkit, i'm looking to resolve a problem with call recording.
There are a plethora of call recording apps on the market but they all require speakerphone to record both sides of the conversation which is often not ideal. In the old days of Android version 2, some phones had what they call 'hardware-based" call recording which is reportedly no longer available unless you change ROMs or hack the device, which I now finally have the capability of doing.
The easiest way to see this anomaly in action is to download one of the very best call recording apps here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorderpro&hl=en and try changing the source. It won't let you because it says the phone doesn't support 'hardware-based' recording.
If anyone knows how to get past this, I would appreciate the help very much!
Hi,
I'm trying to figure what options there are for robust call recording apps on rooted Pixel 3's.
I'd like to know if a specific call recording application functions on Andriod Pie (or later) after rooting the device.
Here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en_US
If those running a rooted OP6T would install the app and make a few calls I'd appreciate it.
Here's a number to Health and Human Services Office of Civil Right (all prerecorded menus; we won't bother anyone) to do test calls: (800) 368-1019
You may need to do some basic setup. Make sure call recording occurs automatically, or allow the overlay and manually engage the call recording.
For those willing to go to some effort, if at first the app doesn't work, the "Recording Settings" can be tweaked.
I don't know what the difference is between methods, other than that they change how the app tries to get voice data to record.
Can you hear both yourself and the the caller in the recording?
What recording settings were used?
What format did the recording save to (AAC/MP3/Wav?)
What is the sound quality of the recording?
Do any of the above change if you plug in a USB-C earbud/microphone or earbud/microphone attached via USB-C to 3.5mm/TRRS.
(note: bluetooth headsets have compatibility issues even on phones the app works; headset would need to be wired for this test, though info on Bluetooth would be nice if one is so inclined to provide it)
In the applications inbox for recordings, does the number or contact information show up, or is it listed only as "outgoing" or "incoming" call.
Alternatively, I'd be interested in any information/experiences rooted users may have with other call recording software. Such as Another Call Recorder - Unchained (https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.nll.acr). In particular, reliability and call recording quality (as good as 'the call').

I am not going to do all of that, but Boldbeast (paid) is probably your best bet for a nice high quality recording but it requires a bunch of tweaking on a pixel running android 10.
I had absolutely 0 issues using it with my P3 on android 9, but once upgraded to android 10 the only way to get it to work (even with a magisk module they recommended) means losing your "Hey Google" and "Now Playing" auto-detect music feature within the OS (both which I like). So its either stick with Android 9 and have 0 issues, or upgrade to Android 10 and deal with a bunch of BS trying to get the Boldbeast app recorder to work. Google in android 10 is trying to block anyone from using a call recorder all together, they just want it this way. So, I digress.
My previous phone running Android 8 (which I use as a backup) has the app you listed, "Automatic Call Recorder PRO" (paid version obviously) and functions like a dream but its not my daily driver.
If I ultimately had to record a phone call, I swap my sim into that phone and have a nice WAV/MP3 file saved in the cloud.
TLDR; I have no real answer for you :laugh:
Supposedly Google is adding call recording into their phone app. I have not seen it yet.

"With Google Voice, you press a button to start recording the call and then a voice comes on and announces that the call is being recorded. Everybody can hear the voice, so everyone knows that the call is being recorded."
The whole point to using a recorder app is so that someone doesn't know they are being recorded (this is legal is certain states, such as mine).
With an announcement "You are being recorded" kind of defeats the whole purpose. Unless maybe you are trying to keep questionable people honest over the phone with a .mp3 file/proof.
Maybe a Magisk/root hack would be able to turn off this message if google so-chooses to embed it that into the app.

That's my conundrum as well. Legal for me to record. Moreover it's better to have an app automatically record all calls, and be able to organize them into a database with call notes to keep track of who and when. Half of my want to find a way to continue using the existing call recording app, is to preserve the existing database.

Right, that would not be legal in my state.
