Using Samsung Galaxy Note from Tmobile, the SGH-T879, a.k.a SGH-i717, Android version 4.0.4, Rooted
About me: I am not a developer or programmer; but, I am savvy enough to manipulate/configure Windows computers, remove malicious software and generally troubleshoot many common problems on a PC.
What I need to do: I need to record cell phone conversations at the line level (not speakerphone) and am beginning to believe that isn't possible on Android 4.0.4. Someone told me I might need a custom ROM that allows line recording. I don't understand ROM and its relation to the phone as well as I do Windows OS and its relation to the Computer; but, I want to learn so I can solve this call recording problem.
Can someone point me in the right direction for learning about this?
Sir, there are apps free from the GPlay Market for this...take a look, although you have to be rooted for some apps but you stated you are rooted.
A custom ROM is not needed.
Again, do a search via mighty Google and see any thing points you to the Market GPlay.
google voice has this built in. just press 4 while in call.

Thanks for the reply.
I have been working on this problem for two weeks+, have tried many call recording programs and had exchanges with their tech support. NONE will record from line on this phone. Their final answer is to just use speakerphone. I have had exchanges with others and found that not one has reported a successful LINE level recording with stock Android versions above 2.3.5. I have also read in forums where some were able to record but it broke when their Android versions were upgraded or they got a newer phone with a later Android version.
The recording programs offered on Google are, in my opinion, misnamed voice recorders as they record only when the phone is on speaker.
Please, is there a good place on the 'net where I can learn about ROMs?.

Thanks, but I don't use Google. I want something that runs entirely within the phone.

First read the thread linked below at least twice for help on understanding how to flash custom ROM builds etc.. Reading it twice will help make sure you grasp everything well prior to flashing your Note.
[Road & Ref Map]: Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717) 9/11/2012: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
Moreover, once you understand the steps needed in order to load different ROM builds etc.., below is a link to an excellent Gingerbread 2.3.6 XLA2 ROM by DAGr8 that has the line recording built in. That said, I still use it as my "go to" ROM when not trying out ICS & JB builds, due to the built in line recording, as well as the ability to enable Ad-Hoc WiFi support by switching out the wpa_supplicant file.
[ROM]XLA2[04/02] SAUROM Projekt 'One Rom to Rule Them All: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522942
Also, if you do load SAUROM RC7 + RC7.1, search this thread link below for support in order to fix the alarm force close issue, and to add "Equalizer" from the play store to increase volume.

On a final note, deploy the xda search feature to find more tips & info...
Hope this helps a little...

Hey Alex, don't thank me, d'oh! I somehow skipped right past your first OP post. If you have a Samsung Galaxy Note from T-Mobile, "the SGH-T879 model", and not the SGH-I717 model from At&t, SAUROM may not work as intended, and you should post in T-Mobile Galaxy Note section, not here. That said, I'm not sure what would be best for the T-Mobile Note as far as line recording, but you should post and search in that specific sub-forum for help.
Best to all,
R
Yes, it is the T879 and thanks for the heads-up.
I don't see a T879 or T-mobile Galaxy Note section here. Where is it?
Thanks.
It isn't here - its an altogether different forum. Just go to the main list of supported phones and find it there.
Tell me please,
Just got the RN3, still running some Chinese MIUI 7 rom (waiting for bootloader unlocking). I am in love with this device, but the call recording is terrible. Tried the native one and also some 3rd party apps. Only the Skvalex one is close to almost clear record, but still not okay. I saw a friend of mine who has the same device updated to the MIUI 8 (I don't know if it's the latest update) has the same problem. If I try with different kernel or maybe CyanogenMod is there a chance to make it work properly? Please share your experience. I really like the RN3.
Thanks in advance, guys,
Kind regards,

use tape-a talk recorder to record calls.
but in the above app, you will need to manually start it before a call.
OR use MIUI8 tweaks based on xposed to increase call recording bitrate.
Dear @vampire585,
Expecting the bootloader unlock permission "soon". After I update to the latest stable MIUI 8, can I ask you for some support if needed? Call recording is very important for me and I don't want to go back with my G920f.

Did you try jit call recorder?
@onukomer, just tried it. Tell me please what settings do you use?

Why not use Samsung's inbuilt call recorder?
I use it, and works perfectly as it should be!
Depends. If you have the United States variant, built in call recording isn't even available for us..
Which one will record both sides ?

Because it is a kernel-related restriction, no application will be able to bypass it. So, the answer is: none.
Except, of course, if you are on custom roms or rooted...

Buy THL (Thailand) sim card, format your phone with sim card inside, and thats all, after that insert your sim card again, and its done.
I have do that and it works, I have native call recorder.
It only work with Multi region rom installed OXM ex: my phone SM-G973F
This one works
I use CubeACR (find it in Play Store).
It bypass the limitations explained above by using the Accessibility options (If I understood well).
Works fine for me (NON rooted, stock Samsung Android 10 ROM, G973F dual SIM EU spec, 8-128 setup).
It records both sides and even Whatsapp and alike calls. The free version has ads (set up a private DNS if you bother that - I do, I would purchase the app but the creators only offer time-based subscriptions and not a lifetime license) and also the free version only record calls in .AMR format, though you can easily convert the ones you want to keep to any other format or simply let them as they are - recording quality is fine anyway.
Just follow carefully the setup wizard when you first start the app.
Give it a try, and you'll see. Hope this heps
Cheers!

Nope, it doesn't record both sides. I tested this app last year and I tested it now again and it seems they found a better way to record from speakers. The level of background noise is high but you can hear the other voice, so... beter than nothig...
Well, anyway it is as you said. Better than nothing. Certainly I'm using it at home, 'cause I make and receive calls mainly when I'm there. I will try and test outside to see how bad is the surrounding noise. With my old J3 2016 there was much simpler, easy to install TWRP, Magisk etc, and record calls was piece of cake with AOSP Call Recorder. No issues at all. Now, this is a flagship much better phone but... It seems this kind of 'playing' is not that easy. Pity!
Cheers!

I'm willing to throw some money at it if he can add the Poco F3 baseband to a pad 5 5g custom rom. Same chip set and specs basically.
I want calls and SMS to function. I want to ditch a phone and just have the Pad 5. My online banking is done via OTP (one-time pin). I can withdraw money cardless I just need my SMS to send me the pin.
Also money in and out of my account I'm sent an SMS.
I'll tip in $100 USD. Let's go.
The SMS (both sending and receiving msgs) works fine on mine (Pad 5 pro 5g). The voice call doesn't work at all. You can't even use a dialer for 'secret codes' for testing. I am currently on a GSI, but it was the same on MIUI. I am in the UK if it makes a difference.

Can you please describe how well the GSI works on your device and was it easy to get it running?
Yes it's working fine except for the pen. Check the GSI thread on the non-pro Pad 5 forum. I have posted there a few times myself.

If you're in the US you can set up a Google Voice account and send/receive SMS via Google Voice app or voice.google.com, this way you don't rely on cell service @ all...

Not at all, the miui interface and the google framework is integrated, i need a vanilla rom without such crap, then i can install manually the apk i need for my use.
I will strongly prefer to ditch MIUI if nothing else to greatly reduce the risk of irreversible hardbricks that seems to be fairly common with updates after the first year or so and very rare in case of custom ROMs if at all. Just today a new report mentioned MIUI 13 hardbricking Mi 11 Ultra, Mi 11, Mi 11 Lite 5G. MIUI is just garbage IMO anyway.

Go into developer menu and turn off Miui optimisation. Can sideload any apk once it's turned off.
I couldn't load any system apps and non store apks until I did.
MIUI is ok when you sort all the permissions out.

Miui is heavy, without this crap the os load 2 times more fast also, i prefer 100 times the standard aosp minimal but fast gui.

Which app did you end up installing? I used to have ACR but they don't really support root and apparently neither do they Android 12.
For me, Call recorder by Skvalex is the best call recorder in the market, the playstore version has some featuers blocked by google, so I would advise to use the version on the website.

The free version may work for you. My needs for it are rather precise so I paid for it.
I had a license for Skvalex from 2017 so I was able to utilize this with the app without paying again which is cool so no complaints here. The only nitpick I have is the fact that it records the ringing of the calls and not when the person picks up lol.
