Call Recording - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Anyone know if the S4 can record both sides of a call? On my incredible 2 with the cyanogen mod kernel I could do it with CallRecorder from the play store? Can the stock kernel do it? Our is there a mod for it? Thanks

It gets both sides without using the speakerphone?... And which "Record My Call" ... there are actually two with that name. Thanks.

yes, but it will be very faint. If you have something to boost the volume, you can still hear it. I use speaker cause it's louder, but I was on the phone and someone had said they can talk if they was on speaker. I took them off then went back and could still here the conversation.

Same question. Verizon S4 sch-i545, rooted, stock ROM. I had to keep my s3 on ICS to keep call recording going, desperately seeking a solution for my s4.
Speakerphone recording is not really a viable option for me (certainly it's not desirable).
On my s3 (ICS) I used KillerMobile's paid Total Recall app, and it worked beautifully and effortlessly. On s4 (Jellybean) no combination of settings with Total Recall work with non-speakerphone recording. In fact methods A, B, C, and D don't work at all - and method D generates such large logfiles that I have to kill the app, and delete the log (it was 7gb at one point!).

Update: Total Recall is working with Cyanogenmod 10.1 (10.1-20130614-NIGHTLY-jfltevzw to be exact) on my rooted S4. No other custom ROMs that I tried worked, however.
Tried: Jelly Beans, Synergy, and Hyperdrive. Have *not* tried Paranoid Android yet. With Cyanogenmod working with it, I think I'll just leave it the hell alone for a bit..

Hi Lazarus, make sure you have the latest TR build installed, we fixed this Logfile issue recently (it's only an issue with Strategy D on S4's).
Have you tried the app with the release version of CM10.1 vs the nightly you reference?
Thanks for the feedback and don't hesitate to contact us directly.

Hi there Total Recall Users,
Before reverting to older ROMS try this first:
I got this working and this is my interpretation of the recording problem:
I also use CM 10.1's latest nightly and struggled to get it working. I noticed that Total Recorder does not prompt for Super User Access when the program i.e. wants to install Strategy D and fails.
I think this is a CM 10.1 error. I installed SuperSU (there's a free version on Gplay). Run this and select install from the settings menu. It will prompt you to reboot immediately after the program closes. Reboot and be QUICK to click Grant Access to SuperSU (else it will get blocked) and it replaces the CM 10.1 SU features.
When running Total Recall again, and selecting Strategy D for Galaxy III SuperSU pops up requesting SU status, grant it, and installs OK.
Recording operational....
I cannot confirm if this is a CM bug
Good luck.

Total Recorder only works with speaker phone on S4 running CleanRom 1.5.
Also, the directory picker function is buggy.

[Q] Two-way call recording on Doird RAZR

Hi All!
Could somebody help me please to find out if TIHIS (or any other) call recorder app works on Droid RAZR?
I'm planning to buy this device but first I have to know if two way call recording is possible.
If the application linked above is not working please recommend another
Thank you all for your help!
Wish I could help you out but don't want to invest in an app I don't really need to test it out.

Sorry Oaklands, it is my fault, that I didn't link skvalex's thread, because as far as I know, there is a TRIAL VERSION of it, so you could try it for me.
Thanks a lot!!!
I just tried it and it did not work for me. When I changed from the kernel version to the other setting it would force close. Super user came up ok but nothing was saved as recorded when i went back into the program.

Thank you so much!
That means I have to wait till there will be a kernel patch for this issue.
I've attached build with Motorola RAZR support, I don't own this phone, so please check it.
Select device in the preferences and install ALSA. The phone must be rooted.
Also, this build may work on:
- Motorola RAZR
- Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G
- Motorola DROID 3
- Motorola DROID 4
- Motorola DROID BIONIC
- Motorola Milestone 3
- Motorola ATRIX 2
Device in preferences must be Motorola RAZR for all these phones.
P.S. If trial period is ended - remove this version and install latest from here.
Thanks a lot!
I'm not able to test it, because I don't have this phone. I was only wanted to know, if it would work on it if I buy one.
But I hope, you'll get feedbacks from users who have it.
Just had my friend try it on his ics .84 razrmaxx and so far it seems to work well
Tested on my RAZR xt912 with the first ICS leak from April, and out works fine on the alsa setting.

What I must do to make this work? I got rooted XT910, Android 2.3.6
I got ALSA and Call Recorder installed, but it's not saving audio files from my calls.
Which option i must choose in ALSA?
are both sides of the conversation being recorded?

hi everyone -- just about to order a razr maxx and wanted to know if call recorder by skvalex along with alsa are able to record both sides of a conversation.
there is some confusion with people stating that it only records your voice and not the other end of the conversation.
can someone please confirm what the truth is? and is it truly recording with appropriate clarity and volume (loudness)?
also, does it record appropriately over bluetooth headset as well?
not working on droid razr
i installed and tried it, but it didn't record anything. i also installed alsa, but it just gives me a long list of settings that i don't understand. which settings should i choose ?
I believe busybox needs to be installed under the xbin location for this to work as alsamixer is dependent upon that.

Have you found an answer for this? I am in the same boat, with a Razr MAXX, CallRecorder and AlsaMixer, not sure which to try. Does anyone have CallRecorder working to record both sides of the conversation on a Razr MAXX? I have a legal reason to do so - recorded calls for work, for quality and training purposes, and the employees have signed releases.
What are the proper known working settings for a Droid Razr/Maxx? I have been trying to get it working with no success. I live in a one party consent state and I do have a valid need to make recordings of some of my calls. I would like to know what the settings are so I can do this. I am currently running ICS. THe app appears to install just fine. The service comes up BUT it doesn't record.
From what I've been reading and the experience I've had with trying various solutions on my Razr MAXX, the hardware itself does not support recording the other party. Someone in the reviews on CallRecorder by skvalex said it works on his Razr (not sure if it's the MAXX), but I couldn't get it to work. I'm eager for answers about this! :good:

The MAXX and the Razr are functionally similar in hardware minus the battery apparently so what works on one should work on the other no problem. I have been looking for anyone who got this working on ICS or any rom for that matter on the razr or maxx. I used the Bionic as the template profile but I dont think that is working either.

I'll take a look at that. In fact we have a China stock rom's where call recording works, I hope that functionality is available in other kernel's too (EMEA for example)

I think your friend merely confirmed that it installed. I installed alsa and call recorder on my ics rooted razr maxx. The recorder runs and creates files, but there's no sound. I do have it set to use alsa and have tried changing numerous alsa settings. I think this comes back to the need for a kernel that enables call recording.

[TUTORIAL] How to play sound through the earpiece.

I just thought I would write up a quick tutorial for anyone who ever wanted to play music through the earpiece for some reason (am I the only one who always forgets their earphones?). I had the urge to do it yesterday and this is how I did it
First download the app "earpiece" from the play store. You will notice, however, that it doesn't give you the option to play audio through the earpiece. This is because it doesn't think you have one. So, what you must do is take the attached file and stick it in the /system/etc/permissions directory (yes, you need root). Change the permissions of the file as needed and reboot. This file will make your player look like a galaxy S gsm phone (I have not encountered any negative results of doing this yet). You should now be able to use earpiece app for listening to audio through the earpiece!

You haven't discovered nothing new. I guess it changes device info in build.prop so your phone is detected as sgs. Makes more apps compatible.

Uh yeah, I know about that hack, in fact, I was one of the first to implement it, lol! What I am saying is this makes some apps that were still "incompatible" after that mod compatible (maybe, still waiting confirmation).

New MagicJack app works!

For those MagicJack users who have thus far been frustrated, there is a new app (Talk Free) which allows us to use our MJ accounts to make calls with our TPs. Play store has it.
Quality dependent on good wifi signal, as always. Audio receive and speech from early experience, very good. However, lots of echo experienced on the other end's transmit.
Also note, when the app is in opened on the device, mic will not work with other apps. App must be forced closed, as no exit exists for app presently. It's still beta, albeit a good start.
Neat to be able to make calls from the TP. Running ICS nightly fwiw.

The app does not come up for me in the playstore. I'll try googling it later.
Edit : I think that this is for the iPads, not for android.
Edit 2 : I get your device is not compatible error when searched for MagicJack in playstore.

[Q] Call Recorder Help Please

I am running a Droid Razr Maxx CDMA (XT912).
I have Jellybean 4.2.2.
I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed as my custom ROM.
I installed BusyBox first, then Alsa Mixer. I want to use Call Recorder by skvalex. I can't find the free version on the PlayStore.
I am not a fan of downloading apps from anywhere else but there.
Can anyone tell me if these two programs that I installed will allow me to use the Call Recorder app
without any problems before I spend the money to purchase this app?
I know I can always get a refund but I figured that I would come here first to ask.
Any help would greatly be appreciated and I will click the thanks button for anyone who replies to this post.
I installed the call recorder app by skvalex.
It only records for the first four seconds and then stops.
There is no recorded file saved.
Any suggestions?
Sent from my XT912 using xda app-developers app
same problem here.... in my xt910
it records ZERO seconds
using 4.1.2 Jellybean
982.124.14.xt910.retail.en.eu
***please help***
same here with JB 4.2.2 XT910
It used to work for me with ICS 4.0.4 and apparently now it shows a red icon on the status bar instead of orange one.
And the message is something like error recording failed.
I contacted the developer on his email, he is a nice guy, I sent him the logs, may be he'll find something.

[APP](Root Req)Viper4Android Sound

Just wanted to post that I have installed Viper4Android and it works beautifully on my rooted S5. This app is the #1 reason I root.
This app will change the way you think about sound (seriously). Every time I demo the difference to someone by turning it on and off they immediately ask me to install it for them.
Installed using directions by @docnok63, paraphrased below for your convenience. I have only tested this app on my rooted T-mobile S5, and only with spotify (it's the only player I use). Of course you should always backup first and only you are responsible for what you do to your device.
1. Ensure you are rooted. From this point on, grant all superuser requests.
2. Download ViPER4Android FX. Get the latest version under the "Android FX" heading.
3. Extract the 4.x .apk from the zip. If you haven't already, smart-install Busybox from the play store.
4. Move the 4.x .apk to root system/app using a root-friendly file browser of your choice. Reboot to reset permissions.
5. Launch the app (from your app drawer). Grant root to let it install drivers. I've always gone with super audio quality; I suppose it's up to you. It may ask you if it can modify some files to disable power saving...just let it happen. :good: Reboot again.
6. Go straight to settings/sound/music effects (at the bottom) and toggle Viper4Android as default.
7. Open root system/build.prop using a file explorer and text editor with root access. You change three lines of code as follows. Some may already have been changed.
Code:
Ipa.decode=true should read Ipa.decode=false
tunnel.decode=true to tunnel.decode=false
lpa.use-stagefright=true to lpa.use-stagefright=false
8. Save the file and reboot once more. Open the Viper4Android app and have at the sound settings; play around until you find what works for you (just make sure to check "Enable" :highfive. You can edit the settings as you have music playing. When you get it where you want it, toggle the enable button and see how far you've come.
You can explore the main app thread here for some ideas on customization.
All credit due to @viper520, @zhuhang, and @docnok63.
All I did was paraphrase. Hope this helps someone!

I have not been able to get this to work with the stock app on any version of KK but it works fine with Poweramp. Just have all EQ and processors in Poweramp turned off and in Poweramp settings/audio/advanced tweaks make sure everything is unchecked.

WOW...it works here for me. At first it didn't. I looked for updates and it offered v2.3.3.0 Installed that and it's really noticeable with my ear buds. This is with Google music player. I have PowerAmp premium too. Have not tested on that but it for sure works with the latest APK I referenced and it is installed as a system app. One of those build.prop edits was already set while the other two needed to be changed, just an FYI. If you aren't on the latest APK, update. I am on the latest update of Alliance ROM here on my T Mobile S5 variant....fyi.
Hi guys can someone tell me what to do if i cant find the build.prop stated above on my device?
do i have to make the new one or to leave it as it be?

It's in system folder. You need to use an appropriate method of editing that allows you to change from read only to read write. Also for me you have to be running 2.3.3.0 version of Viper. And finally, at least for me, I set this up and it runs until I also use the app Poweramp. Seems as soon as I use PowerAmp with the equalizer on, it breaks the functionality within 2 seconds of starting any song. If you use the menu function while running the Viper app, look at driver staus which not only shows the version but if you are running a song it will say yes to processing which verifies the app is running. (build prop editor by JRummy Apps in Playstore is free and works great) (Of course Root Explorer is my all time favorite, paid app that has a ton of functions, including editing)
So it didn't work for me, unless deleted the mod and installed everything from scratch as a normal app instead of a system one. To make it work with Poweramp, had to enable " compatible mode", add "music fx" button to "tone/vol" screen and turn it on. Now it works.
Anyone here having trouble with signal after flashing this mod?
Or is it just me

Awesome! Trying this out soon.
Here the sound is much better.
However commands double and triple clicks in the headset no longer work with the Power Amp.
