Hi guys,
Is call recording possible on HTC Sensation?
Could you test please:
- Totall Recall
- CallRecorder (DSoft)
and tell me about quality of recording from both sides?
Cheers

I'm also curious on this as call recording is essential to me and I own Total Recall on Symbian (Nokia E72) and would not move to an Android device that does not fully support it (or anything with similar features, but I know of no alternatives at the time).
Asking the developer would be a good idea, but then again, maybe some of you need to... erhm.... recall some calls...

I got callrecorder on dhd and works perfectly. But my dhd is rooted. Don't know if something change in functionality.

Call recorder widget works, but the recordings are pretty quiet.

Callrecorder requires root to fully function properly. This is one of several reasons I'm waiting for the Sensation to be totally opened up.

I have it on my rooted Samsung vibrant and it records perfectly. Mine isn't an app, it is located in the call screen while I am calling.

As I said, to function "properly" it needs root. It obviously functions without root, but not as fully intended.

Results...
Tried Already Total Recall & Call Recorder (DSoft)... (Perma-Temp Rooted HTC Sensation 4G)
Results:
Total Recall -> bit buggy and noisy when recording... (records via mic)
CallRecorder (DSoft) -> clear recording but via mic also... (so... not so loud the "other side" of the conversation)
Nothing even close to CallRecorder (skvalex) on my HTC Inspire 4G...
Nothing new here? any real recording solution?

up ..
this is an essential thing for me ..
anyone found a good recording app for the sensation ??

+ 1
I have tried so many call recording apps but to no avail
All of them are either "speakerphone enabled" or just not recording at all.
I hope after we root our phones we could use a real incall recording.

any news on call recorder now that we have s-off?

I found that when using the hand-free option (or even just the speaker for playing MP3), the sound is crappy. Not sure if related. Are you all happy with the big speaker of the Sensation ?

Nowhere near as loud as old samsungs or nokias i previously owned.
Anyone managed to port the 2-way call recording patch used on Desire HD? It worked flawlessly on DHD, it would be great to have it on Sensation.

No hope at all?

which apps should do it ? please give me 2 or 3 names, and I will test them this after noon. I have upgraded to latest everything ... maybe they will work now with all updates I have. The ones that used to bug or give crapy sound

There's only one posted by avs333, but it's for Desire HD (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048182&highlight=call+recording)
All other call recording apps failed to work or the recording quality was very poor.
It worked perfectly on DHD and i was hoping to see a patch for Sensation.

Please, tell me which ones. I will test them occasionally, and check for updates.

From market you can try Total Recall by Killer Mobile or AutoCallRecorder by Roman G. but these apps use the mic to record incoming voice, hence the quality is poor.
The only app that works properly is CallRecorder by Skvalex, but it requires a kernel patch (see app description on market), which brings me to my original question:
On Sensation, is it possible to patch the kernel to include the modifications required by this app?

Gtalk Video chat works
Noticed a new app called HTC likes

No CRT animation?

Sound has been boosted, At least from the speaker I can notice a big difference. Also the the stock music app is picking up the embedded album art correctly now on my imported iTunes library.

HTC likes was always there, and it's still bloatware :-( the real changes for me are better dual core support and gtalk video, so now you don't poorly supported third party apps, like VTalk. Now I can use a poorly supported Google App!

LOL -he sure complains like one!

Is the speaker really louder? I'm dying to get this, but fully rooted and Rom'd up.

Definitely seems louder to me.
Tried the game Cordy off the Market and the graphics spaz out to look like when a desktop pc GPU is dying. Also the stock browser closes all windows except the one you have open when you close it.

I can confirm on 2.3.4 on a stock Sensation by pressing home and power it will take a screen shot and photos will be in the camera shots album.. Pretty freaking nice of them to include this feature

[Q] Sense ROM problem: music will not get quieter when other app requests audio focus

Let me give you an example. I use the MyTracks program when I am running. I set it up to speak an audio announcement every 5 minutes. While it is running I also have Google Music playing music.
With CM7, whenever the 5 minute interval comes up, it quiets the music and speaks the message. When it's done with its announcement the music returns to normal volume.
I have tried many Sense ROMs - stock, LeeDroid, Virtuous unity, and RCMix3D. with all of these ROMs, the MyTracks application does not quiet the music to do its announcement.
Is there something unique to CM7 that allows an app to take the audio focus like that? is there any way to do that on a Sense ROM?
Thanks.

Somewhere in the cyanogen sound settings there are controls for this function. Not sure where exactly, but I have seen them.

I haven't seen it on any sense roms but I am sure there are some sound management apps that can do this.

I can not remember exactly but search for terms on market like "sound management" Or "volume control".

I know the power amp music player will automatically pause music when phone rings.

If the app is set up properly to quite the music then it will work. As stated power amp does this perfectly. With that be said it can be done but if it isn't working its an app issue working with the Sense rom base. I would let Google know and see what they say as it does work just not for that app

Screen record with audio?

Okay so I looked all over xda, play store, xposed downloaded , Mahdi customization and pimp my ROM. I can't find anything that allows audio for screen recordings. I got this really cool megaman thing going on with my n5. Wallpapers and colors and sounds. I wanted to record it with the sound on. Any pointers?

I noticed it was recording via microphone so maybe it will capture the audio you want. Just dont sneeze cause you'll have to start again

That ^^ and I do know that ROM's have incorporated Audio Recording with Screen Recording. The original commit was made for ChameleonOS so they definitely have it. Other ROM's have it built in as well. As for which ones, you will have to do some research

I'll try the app. I'm currently running Mahdi. Good stuff. I'll read up on the Dev pages. Hope I find it baked in if the app doesn't work.

Or you can just plug a line in from phone to PC and record the audio then mix together.
That's how i usually do it.
This is an old video from my HTC one x.
I had to use a video recorder for the video because there want any way to record android video on the tegra3 soc at the time but I just used the headphone Jack to line in on pc to record and then mix together and you get something like this.

If U are using CyanogenMod U can probably try CyanogenMod Screencast.

Here is a CallRecorder thread.

Total Recall available from the Play Store is working great with "root_experiential" recording method. It cost a few bucks but its pretty rock solid
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

Built in with AICP rom dialer and possibly other roms if you run custom roms . Working fine, puts the audio file in call recording folder.

I'm using Easy Voice Recorder Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.digipom.easyvoicerecorder.pro
It's not just a call recorder app but one of the best (subjective) voice and audio recording recording app found on the Play Store which also records calls.
