Is call recording possible on Nexus 5?

Is call recording possible on Nexus 5? Can you record both sides with a good quality?
Can somebody test any call recording app from the market, pls?

Anybody, please?

I'm also interested in this feature.
Do you have root? I'd recommend trying Call Recorder by Skvalex and seeing if that works. It's the best app for this, and he's usually supportive of getting these devices to work.
This is his app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder&hl=en

Anybody pls?

Can someone check it out please?

I would definitely help if I had the device. Surely someone will come along and spare 5mins of their time testing this out as this is a requirement for many people.

On the same boat. I had Sanity working on SGS2 (Sprint) and it worked perfectly. However, on Nexus 5 it says "Sanity failed to start recording". I tried all the different recording modes.
This is a very important feature for me so I hope someone comes along and figures it out for all of us.
Thank you in advance.

Here is where you need to go to follow an active thread about call recording for various different phones. I've seen the Nexus 5 come up several times in that thread. It won't be long and there will be a solution.

I have just installed this to my rooted N5 and it works very well... clear, proper line recording...

Well worth it to spend a bit to support the dev too, so buy the not-free one after verifying the free one works on your device.

I confirm that this is properly doing line recording :good: (vs. mic recording ) on my rooted N5. 30 days trial. Then it is €7/$10 I believe...

LGE didn't disable the call recording feature of Nexus 5 Android 4.4, so the phone can records calls, no root needed, almost all recorders work well.
I'm afraid Nexus 5 Android 5.0 is a different situation. We checked the "Android 5.0 Preview release", it disabled the call recording feature, no recorder works without root. Even after rooting the phone it's hard to find a recorder that works well, because SELinux prevents recorders to "fix recording problems". Recorder developers are improving their apps. Hope there is a good solution at the end.
Of course, several days later, maybe the "Android 5.0 Final release" enables the call recording feature, therefore all recorders work without root.

hard to say. The call recorder I have used for years works for me on L, with fewer modifications than on KK. Yes it needs root, and to use root, don't we need to set SELinux to permissive in boot.img anyway?

Yes, of course. If SELinux is set to permissive everything is OK.

I installed the latest version from store yesterday (7.4 GP) for my rooted N5. Settings chosen were as below:
- Record Mode: 1 or 5
- Tune Special: No
- Change Audio Controls: Yes
- Change Audio Driver: No
It worked but the voice of other person is not clear, its very shrieky. My voice is clear though. Is that a known issue and do we have a solution for that?
Thanks.

Other Nexus 5 users reported the settings worked well.
If you enable the "Tune Special" option does it have any change? If the problem is still there please click the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" item in Boldbeast Recorder to send hardware log files to us, let us have a look at them. Thanks.

2 way call recording on non rooted Nexus 5 is disabled by the manufacturer.
There is no way to overcome this without rooting and the "best" workaround would be to turn the speaker on when recording calls.
For rooted Nexus 5 devices, many recording apps will enable 2 way call recording.
You can try our Jit Call Recorder app.
It was developed on various devices including rooted Nexus 5 and it records both sides of the call, including calls made with Bluetooth connected.
This is a fully functional version of the app limited only by the amount of displayed recordings and the ability to delete recordings. If you find it suitable, you can purchase a license in a small price of ~ 1$.

On my rooted Nexus 5 it does not work. I have tried all the recording methods (mic, audio in, etc)

Do you have EMUI 5 and root? If yes maybe you can try THIS

there are so many aftermarket call recorders out in play store, go on and try them

Did you granted to the app all needed permissions? (Microphone, call hearing, ecc.)

Ok, i'll try later if the app will work for me. Yes i have a 6X too, but at the moment I'm not using any call recording app. On my other phone now died, i was using LineageOS call recorder function directly on phone call, and it was working great except for some problems with loud voices, that was registered as scratchy tunes. I'll let you know later in day

Just tried ACR; it works perfectly. I've simply launched it giving the 4 permissions needed (microphone, calls, storage and contacts) and tried a call immediately after. I've stopped after 10 seconds and then i've found a really clean file in M4A format where i could heard everything clear. Since the problem seems to be not fault of the phone and neither by the app, now my question is: did you whitelisted the app from memory freeing services like battery optimization, task killer widgets, ecc. ?

Hello,
Please note that since Google has changed its policies you cannot effectively record calls (with the buit-in call recorder on your Android or with an App). If you still want to use call recorder apps you will have to downgrade your firmware to Android 8 (with Odin for instance).
Thank you,
LOC

So why Xiaomi can use call recorder apps on Android 9?

Even if I root the phone ?

Call recording.... jOnePlus Tools does it work on OP7 Pro?

I absolutely need Call Recorder on OP7 Pro... coming soon from Poland
jOnePlus Tools is still working?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jroot3d.joneplustools
Any other solution?
Tks

this is a great question
Last time I checked, Pie disables the ability to record your conversations using the earpiece and microphone but still works using the speakerphone. I record my conversations as well using the S9 Plus on Oreo. When I upgraded to pie, the recording stopped. So I had to downgrade and find another solution to have the latest software and the abilityto record. Another way to record using the earpiece and microphone audio source is through unlocking your phone so I heard. I couldn't unlock my S9 Plus as it's the Snapdragon variant can't be unlocked for who knows what reason since it is my phone.
The play store updated its policy as of March 2019, forbids apps to record/gather the caller ID. This could be corrected by installing a version of the app before the policy took effect

Does the built in screen recorder capture call audio, I wonder... ?

I tried Cube CR ... It works a bit, but mostly it doesn't record when a BT headset is connected ...
I think Skvalex also has the same problem.
Do you confirm enabled the native call recorder?
Is the ADB procedure the same as OP6T?

The OOS Magisk module works like a charm (GM1913 Op7Pro). Simply install, reboot, enable auto record in stock dialer app and done :good:
(Edit: only tested the phone earpiece/mic, no Bluetooth or other ways tested).

Have not yet tried bluetooth, but is not a problem for me, I use bluetooth very little. But will try bluetooth later.

Call Recorder from Skvalex here too.
BT recording works, but you can hear mostly your voice, and the remote party is more like a white noise. Also, I installed the version from official site, because play store version can't show numbers due Google's new policy.

This will also be coming as a toggle-able feature in an upcoming custom ROM.
It will basically enable to built in call recorder in the OnePlus phone app which you can then just enable in its settings.

Hopefully in the next few days.
I'm just a tester for the ROM but the good work is done by @mwilky. You can have a look over his ROM (Renovate ICE) in the OP6 and OP6T forums to get a sense of the types of things you can do with this specific ROM.
Fun times ahead!!

The problem with this and non root is that u have to run adb everytime unreboot. But it seems to worm perfect

Question Auto Call Recorder? Root?

Hi All. . .
Going to ask the question. I have used previously the s20 and prior to that numerous Samsungs. I had to Root to enable call recording. What i want to know is, is there a auto call recorder that works for the s21+ in the UK? Without Root. I wanted to try and keep my phone unrooted. but the main issue is I want a Auto Call Recorder. I was using Boldbeast without issue. (Rooted.)
The other issue, is, I want to be able to to OTA and want some ifo if the s21 can be rooted with A & B Partition? Is there any info on how to do this and where to get the files from? ETC? Any help appreciated. Regards. . .

Hi mate
I use Cube Call Recorder , it works great , lots of settings , no root required....

Ok, Illl give it a try.
