Hi,
I'm trying to record phone calls as .wav files but I want to record the other side only. I tried using Axet's Call Recorder, but I have many issues with it. I installed the recorder as a system app in /system/priv-app and gave it all permissions. However, I noticed that no matter what source I choose (be it "voice line", "auto" or "system RAW"), it always picks up my mic and the recording would be silent if I hit mute. I have seen other apps that supposedly give you more control over what is recorded but I have yet to find one that works as intended. My solution must: 1. record the actual audio output completely digitally and be purely the "downlink" side only, i.e. what plays through the earpiece/speaker but at the level before it actually plays, and 2. be compatible with all android versions regardless of what permissions it may need.
First, I'd like to know what the source should actually be - the digital source for the output audio that guarantees purity and highest quality.
Second, I'd like to know if there is an app that does just that or otherwise what do I need to create one myself.
Keep in mind full root access is available and modding too.
Any help is appreciated tremendously!

I am trying to test the microphone on the GTab. I sideloaded fring and tried to make a test call. The microphone was all crackly. Not useable. Is there another app to try to test the mic? What I want to know is if it is the device or fring. I tried to get Yahoo Messenger with the Video app but I haven't been able to find the apk anywhere that is the current version.
how about the sound recorder that's included in the GAPPs file?

I was also going to suggest as the quickest check... or Rehersal Assistant from the Market if you want to really test sound quality better saving a raw uncompressed audio file for playback on tab or elsewhere...
Microphone Sucks
I purchased this in part to perhaps do video conferencing. I tried the sound recorder with the unit at arms length distance and tried to record my voice. It was so faint through the speakers with my normal speaking voice I could hardly tell that I had recorded anything. This is not a good sign. Even talking way loud (shooting), it was barely audible through the speakers with the volume at 100 percent. Now that may not be how someone would perceive it in a video chat application but I don't have high hopes.
Anyone else record anything through the microphone? Is there any other approach that would work (Bluetooth Headset)?
i have Talking Tom open at my desk while im at work because it entertains me when i yell at my employees
i notice no issues with volume or quality
I have developed an app which uses SoundPool to play sounds when various areas of the screen are touched. I've also now added a "Record" button so whatever sounds the user plays can be recorded to an audio file. However, I can't find anywhere that explains how to capture the sounds being played via SoundPool. Can anyone help please? Otherwise is the only way to do it using the device mic?
I've been trying to find an app for Android that allows me to record audio up until the device storage eventually runs out (obviously, preferrably, cuts off just before, to avoid corrupt files).
Yes, the technical file size limit for files is 2GB, but I'm looking for an app that simply, after reaching that file limit, creates a new one and continues audio recording to that file.
Ideally, say, I have 100GB spare space on my phone. I simply click big record button and the app starts recording, first file being something like recording-2019-12-22-001.wav and once the 2GB limit is reached, then next one starts automatically with ...-002.wav file naming, etc.
Note, the app should also have silence detection (to avoid long periods of empty recording) that would cut off the recording until sounds exceed desired level again, after which, recording would resume,
I've been using Smart Recorder, but as everything else, it wont continue to the next file and developer seems to be reluctant to add that feature. So, does anyone know, if such app exists?
After updating my OP7Pro from Pie to Android 10, an issue popped up where people on the other end of a phone call would complain that there was an echo.
I did some experimenting and it appears that this issue is linked to call recording, specifically OnePlus's native call recorder.
I found that the echo only occurs when all 3 of these things are present:
1. I have OnePlus's native call recording enabled (either through the magisk module, joneplus tools app, or a Tasker profile)
2. I am recording the call (either automatically or by manually hitting the record button)
3. It is not on speakerphone
This leads me to believe that, for whatever reason, when recording a call, it activates the top mic and the person on the other end of the line is hearing their own audio from the ear speaker through the top mic. Specifically, this is an issue in normal (non speakerphone) mode only because it is not supposed to be in dual mic mode as opposed to speakerphone.
I tried using engineering mode disable the top microphone but I could not get the setting to stick (I may have been missing something).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Great observation! I haven't been able to figure out a solution to this. Let me know if you found something.

Happy to say that this is solved now (with a workaround). I was never able to get the native OnePlus call recorder working without echo but the Magisk module, Skvalex Call Recorder, works perfectly.
Is there anyway possible to enable call recorder on my phone?
At best it might appear on the call screen during a call with a record button. For many people that won't exist.
The rest of the apps without rooting or custom may only do it from a speaker that is loud enough from indirect recording. (The permission for direct recording that Android uses there looks like it may be one that isn't allowed except for the next situation.)
Rooted or custom can do whatever. However, depending on where you are and the device you have, you may or may not be able to go this way. This also has pros and cons of its own.
Many people won't be able to do anything but record indirectly from a loud speaker.
I think that's it.
