Hi
I got a question which Im quite unsure on what to respond to, so I hope you guys can help me.
As headline says - Is it possible to record phone calls with a Android smartphone, without rooting and flashing another kernel? e.g., is there a working app?
It should work both for outgoing and incoming calls and record caller as well as speaker
thanks in advance
the call recoder app i have used requires root so i did a permanent root via z4root
It is not necessary to root or flash another kernel on a untained android device.
The API natively supports recording calls. A simple app would do the trick.
The problem is that manufactors like samsung, htc (i don't know one that did not do it, except google themself) etc. changed the android code to disallow this, because they are afraid of legal problems.
Some phones support it natively...

Which root app are you using?
Hey, roadrippersid, what app are you using?
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?
Cheers

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)

Are you referring to Jit Call Recorder?
I have BLN-L21 and tried almost all apps for call recording but for some reason they wont work.
1. After searching I believe that Huawei has blocked call recording in some countries. (I purchased in Pakistan).
> can I flash another region official stock rom to have this feature on my phone as well?
> If yes which one?
> Call recording works on almost all other smart phone brands so why only huawei has blocked it?
2. Is there a guide on how to enable it without rooting and without Boldbeast audio recorder as well?
3. Is there is a native built in recording feature? if so how to enable it?
Its is essential that I have call recording as my work is as such.
Thanks in Advance
1.1 Laws and regulations vary from country to country about call recording.
1.2 In theory you can, but you need to "de-brand" your phone first, I haven't seen any information on a 6x. So far Honor 8 and 7 can do that.
2. For native call recording, yes, in Chinese variant, you can enable it from call settings.
Call recorder works. You may have a problem with the Os killing the service to preserve battery

Hi.. Thx.
>Which call recorder app you are using?
>I used ACR Pro with protected mode- its not killed when screen is off.
Can you please share the settings as well.
What i have observed is that only mic is used for recording and sometimes when the environment is very quite the mic is able to record the opponent voice but with low volume. This is of course totally accidental.

Call Recorder ACR also works fine. Give it a try! Haven't used it but read it on XDA only from a user that it's running perfect!
Here's the link of the app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.acr&hl=en
ACR is excellent, my father used it a lot
Go to call record section of honor 6x

Huawei do not provides build in feature for call recording because call recording is illegal in some regions of the world. Still you can get methods to enable call recording on EMUI as discussed in TechinReview . You can access them from the following link;

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.
I enabled (and tried) native call recording once, but not anymore.

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
Hi there,
Anyone can suggest a good call recorder app for the 5 II? My favourite ACR stopped working a while ago and instead of fixing it they released a new app, combined dialer and everything, but it doesn't work either so I need something to record my calls. Phone just updated to android 11, no root, stock firmware.
Thanks!
