What controls in call volume? Is it kernel or the radios? I've seen patches to fix the volume in sense 4 roms, but what do they actually do? Just curious and trying to learn as much as possible. If there's a file or set of files that can be modified, what are they and how can I edit them? Thanks

Could someone help me out with this? It seems like every other Rom I flash has no in call volume, mostly sense 4 and aosp roms. Someone has got to know what files to tinker with to correct this issue. I know its not hardware, I'm on the stock ruu leak now and its fine, and I wipe thoroughly between every Rom. I'm willing to donate $10 big bucks on my payday to anyone who can successfully help me. And I know that's not a lot, but its a 6pk of brew and a pack of smokes or coffee for a couple days or hours depending on the person. I'm desperate right now. Thanls

There is app called Call Recorder which turns on speaker phone, makes it significantly louder than usual. It records all phone calls. This may not be legal in your state unless you answer each call by informing the other party that the call is being recorded.

Thanks, but no thanks, I'm looking for a more permanent fix or a systematic fix, its something in the coding between roms that's making the in call volume suck.

Back in the CM7 days on the Eris, we used to flash a patch to really crank up all the volume. I still had the patch sitting in my dropbox and I'll upload it here if you'd like to take a look.

I found that one other person posted this in the Shostock thread, so I figured I'd at least ask. I'm currently on Shishir's ICS rom, but I noticed it also on the UCLC2 leak: when I get an incoming call, the ring volume starts off very quiet for the first half-second or so, then immediately jumps to the set ringing volume (which for me is pretty high). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there any fix? Or is it a bug that's well known and not yet fixed and I'm just an idiot? Any help would be appreciated
A lot of Samsung phones have the Increasing Ringtone. When I had the Samsung Eternity, it started with low volume then jumped to a higher volume, same with my Samsung Captivate. I think it's one their "features" for their phone.

Increasing ring, you can remove it by modding it.
Shostock, Phone-Bricker, not sure what else have removed it so it doesn't do that.

I have no idea how to mod on odex files.
Shirshir knows I believe since his rom is the only odex in our phone.
From my Windows Mobile days, I always flashed the EnergyROM ROMs and always had the option to go to phone settings during a phone call and just hit "Record" and I would record my phone calls natively. In Windows, this could also be enabled by changing some registry keys and adding some others, there was no need for third party software.
I've seen on Google Play that there are several third party Apps that claim to enable the call recording functionality, and since those apps can do it natively as they say, I would like to know if there's a way to enable/add the functionality to the native phone dialer without having to install a third party app, like it used to be in Windows Mobile...
I wish I knew Linux/Android enough to go play with the configuration files, but unfortunately I don't know enough yet, so any help will be appreciated.
Cheers!

Not in ICS.
Some third party apps MAY work but from what I've seen they don't work well.

Callrecorder is $9.95 just so you are prepared.
Saurom Rom, though just gingerbread has call recording you just hit the record button on the dealer.
For the life of me i don't know why the developer has left that feature out of his ics releases.

See, that's the thing, I refuse to pay for an app that provides a functionality that is native to the OS and should be enabled by default. And $9.95? Are you kidding?
This has been talked about to death. And the only reason anyone can come up with is that it could cause huge legal issues depending on where you live. So they disabled it on the kernel level.

I think I'd pay for it if I had another reason to move from Dayton. But, honestly I haven't been impressed by any of the roms I've mucked with.

They should enable it and let the users deal with the legal issues that may arise. A are all adults, and if we can have weapons and free speech, then we should also be able to record our calls.
I want to have the same weapon big companies have, if they record my calls for training purposes like they say and then they can use those calls against you, I want to record the calls too so I can quote then accurately.
I would like to know how to enable the option in the kernel. I will research this and if I can figure it out I'm going to post it here

I tried the latest and greatest of his JB Tom this weekend, it didn't have call recording though. I'm back on Saurom. Anyone finding anything else?
I'm on bigfau's black*star ics, and I use Sanity from the playstore to record my calls. Will record 2 minutes for free. Have to pay 4 dollars and some change for infinite recording. Seems to work good so far. When u get a call, slide down the notifications and hit record.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I tried sanity on a jb rom but i think it wasn't working because i set the delays too 0 from the default of ( i think ) 3 seconds.
--update my first real phone call was blank. Not zero file size, 45 seconds of nothing. Uninstalled and installed callrecorder trial. Sanity did have some nice other features.
I got tired of the various roms i tried known issues. So im trying bigfau's black star with sanity trial. It appears to work. I left the defaults for recording delays and set it to record all calls... I'll manage the files.
My only hesitation to buying sanity is its age. Callrecorder is twice the cost but is still being developed...
At least i have bigfau left developing a stable rom. No flicker, no random reboots, etc.

U get anywhere with this? On my third phone and it happens every time I root and install CM10.1 although the prob remains eben if I go back to sense based ROM. This is so frustrating and this is my primary work phone. Idk how its just u and I? I'm assuming with sprint being aware along with/ tech support /multipl3 replacements/weekly complaints - that they will allow me an early upgrade for the One or S4.

You don't have to do that. I had the same problem when i flashed a certain CM10.1 rom (cm10.1 black from swiperrat i believe). I simply wiped everything and installed irocevo's unofficial CM10.1 4.2.2 (the one with xperia z launcher and acid audio mod) and i was apparently perfectly clear after that. Give the rom a try, it fixed my issues.
