Google Voice currently offers incoming recordings but what about outgoing calls?
So I did some searching and it turns out android as well as iOS blocks this feature from being accessed and all apps use tricks and hacks to make is work halfway.
However, CyonagenMod project should have no trouble accessing this feature since the entire OS is opened sourced. There hasn't been anything released or merged that would indicate anyone working on such a feature. So I ask your opinion and thoughts. Is this something you would like to see implemented? Does it make sense to allow people to record your conversation even if there was a consent message before starting the recording? After all, if you really needed to record a conversation, even if illegal, all Android and iOS phones have a headphones line out.
what do u mean by incoming recordings ?
Incoming meaning that when you get a call from someone you can press 4 (I think) and record a call. If you place the call, this option is not available.
Trojan for call recording
maybe this trojan does what we want?

That would be interesting. Anyone has the apk?

Call recording in Nexus s
Hi, anyone knows and tried which ROM and audio patch i should do for Nexus s to enable call recording using Total Recall
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?

Hey guys , im new here on the forums but i've registered just so i may finally get an answer to my question because im almost giving up on it ...
So here it goes , Does anyone know if the HTC ONE MINI is capable of recording BOTH ways of a call ? i mean the uplink and the downlink.
I've tried so far many apps for call recording ( Automatic Call Recorder by App.liqato , Call Recorder by skvalex and several more ) but none of them were able to record the call's downlink ,the other side i mean ..It only records my end of the line but not the other end and i can only hear my own voice...It can record the other end ONLY if i turn on the SPEAKER and this way the other end's voice is heard and can be recorded .
Anyone got a solution ?! Please help me
I don't have a solution but I think that these apps just extend the built in recording functionality of the device and that some devices don't have inbound&outbound capability - potentially the Mini can't do it, OR you might need a custom ROM/Kernel etc.
Hello All,
I am new to this space. Unfortunately, after being forced to update to Android 9, I lost my call recording feature. I absolutely need this feature because I travel all the time. Rooting is not an option for me because I would lose the warranty. Plus, I have accidentally bricked a phone in the past. I saw that people have reported that call recording works in Android 9 in some countries.
I am curious about two things:
1) Do we know which phone models and region will support call recording?
2) Given that we know that XYZ model with Android 9.0 supports call recording, if I buy a phone from another country and use it in the US, will call recording work? Any idea?
I thought of asking everyone on this forum before making an investment in two things a) a $1K phone b) a recorder app. I have tried other options such mic-based call recording etc., but they are not as good as an app doing the call recording.
I am really pissed off with Google for banning this feature.
Regards
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.
