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?
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)

Any progress on this? I still can't find a single app that can record calls using any option within any app.

I'm using ACR now, so far is fine, but sometimes cannot record either of party voice, but over 90% of records are OK.

Working Call Recorder FOUND!
Call Recorder by Skvalex works 100% of the time for incoming and outgoing calls and uses the line (not the speaker) for recording. I have tried numerous call recording applications, but this is the only one that works for the Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G (SGH-T699). This will require root.
1) Install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder (costs $10, or test it first using the time-limited trial from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21317161)
2) In the application, click the Menu button, go to Settings > Recording > Device menu, select the Qualcomm MSM8960 chipset.
In the future, our phone's model may be put in this list for convenience, but choosing the chipset is anyway functionally equivalent.
3) Select CAF as the "Recording Method". (This option requires root)
4) Disable the "Delay before start recording" for Incoming and Outgoing calls.
4) Enjoy.

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
---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 AM ----------
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. ?

Yes, but except in China and a few other places, the function is disabled by default due to privacy policies. You can activate it by following the steps in the thread "Call record" here on 6X's section

Can you call record with Magisk root+skvalex module?

Just because OP removed Call Recording, I would use this method to call record.
Does anyone know if it works?
Thanks for trying.
Ps.: On a Pixel 3a XL I have, after upgrading, I had to change call recording mode to normal (instead of root) and that worked. I mean it's still a Magisk module and stuff, but I just had to change modes. And it works. But I fear an Android 11 phone, or OP might not work.
Thanks!

They didn't remove call recording, I have a non-rooted t-mobile variant kb2007 and it has the op dialer and I used jOnePlus Tools to enable call recording and it works for me. But yes I've used skvalex with true phone dialer on my old 7 pro and it worked amazingly well

Thanks for the tip! I put jOnePlus on my non-rooted KB2007 specifically for the call recording enabling and it works! But, it doesn't like to stay persistent without the service enabled which is annoying. I tried disabling battery optimization for jOnePlus but no luck. Have you had any luck keeping it enabled without the service enabled?

General Call recording no longer works after February update

Hi everyone,
Just realised Skvalex call recorder which worked fine until February update only records the silence now, no uplink/downlink. Using last version 3.5.4 + Magisk module.

He did say some time ago Google's new API rules would disable his recorder app soon.
Cube ACR is still working...... Not sure for how long.

Just tried Cube ACR and it also records nothing but silence on my phone. Maybe the issue is somewhere else in my case then... Anyone using skvalex ACR can confirm if it still works on your Pixel after February update please?

Skvalex works just fine for me, and I don't even have Magisk installed... No root, stock 100% , I just installed the APK and add on APK from the zip, and call recording works just fine for me, both ways.

Use default settings or did you change anything?

I have a new s23 ultra and when i got it i didnt get the acr to work. so I tried again today.
Installed Cube ACR. And it worked, but not great.
Installed ACR by Appliqato free (that I used to use) and it works great. I will get back with review.

If Skvalex not working try turning off Google assistants Ok Google if you have it on. That worked for me. Calls were blank & only recording for a few seconds. Turning Google off has restored recording on both sides of the call.
