In Call Recording (ICR) is working on Raphael

[tego]

Starting a new thread is always questionable but this is something quite new
and it seems that still many people don't know about ICR-breakthrough on HTC devices. As I know, the first working ICR on HTC was in some custom HD-ROM and smart people managed to extract necesary contents and built cabs from it. For those who want theory and more info - search HD and Diamond forum.

Something important: all the glory belongs to those who extracted parts from the HD-ROM and gave following files to us. I only put those files and my experiences with it together for Raphael owners.

I tried to get it working on my stock 1.9 ROM but no succes after so many attempts so it might seem it doesn't work on it - but I'm not sure. I always achieved only recording both sides via mic.

Now, when I flashed the elite-RC3 I tried few steps and it really works. It works the "inner-way", absollutely not via mic, recordings are clear and very good quality! Some steps are probably redundant but .. I made it this way and it works..

1. install this:

(it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...0&postcount=87 )

2. extract this to windows directory:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...8&d=1231743323
(it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=91 )

3. soft reset

4. make a call and start recording when calling from dialer's menu - it won't work now,but do it

5. uninstall the cab from step nr. 1

6. soft reset

7. install this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1231759945
(it's from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=10 )

8. soft reset ..and it should work

Why install and then uninstall? Maybe this is redundant but it seems it makes some needed changes to registry - but you can try it without it, I will NOT hard-reset my Raphael to figure out:-)

Btw I had problems with Resco audio recorder, it didn't recognize end of the call and device crashed many times. Vito Audio notes touch works great.

EDIT:

step 0. for those who still can't see the record option in dialer: you can try one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8&postcount=76

Anyone who tries any method leave a comment here please (with ROM version you have) so the ROMs-developers can obtain this info and eventually add ICR to their new ROMs. Thanks

EDIT2:
------
ROM-specific sollutions based on your feedback:

-elite-RC3: install the latest update from elite-RC3 thread - that's all

-NATF 4.0 & 4.1: use method in post #29 (or #63 - with no dialer included = for 3rd party audio recorders only)

-RomeOS2 1.60.2: use method in post #37 or #89

-stock 1.93: use method in post #29

-2.01.415.3 WWE: use the first (multistep) method above

--still no luck for stock 1.90, NATF 4.2 and any CDMA-ROM

--results with other ROMs weren't reported (or maybe I overlooked them - let me know)

Very appetizing but a bit too experimental and scary. Anyone else tried this?
Will uninstallation restore stuff?

[whosy11]

Let us know if anyone gets this to work on a ROM other than Elite-RC3.

[y2whisper]

interesting method and I think i know some of the reasons why it works, I may have an alternative but I want compare first. Thanks for sharing

The method i use is just install monx's cab and then go to the registry HKLM\Software\HTC\ICR\Recmicgain (don't know the exact title) delete it and soft reset.

Where is the audio saved?

[whiteblazer01]

I have a Titan lying around that I can try it on if you think it will work on that. If it's experimental, I'll wait to install it on my Touch Pro. It's not activated, but I can call *611 and record that conversation.

[whiteblazer01]

Okay, I did everything written above to the "T". It didn't work on the Titan (maybe it's different for the Touch Pro). I didn't run into any critical problems, it just didn't record. When I try to record, I noticed the audio from the call goes out, and comes back on when I stop recording. When I play the recording, I only hear the input from the mic. This is the case with the standard notes recorder, and with Vito Audio Notes.

If someone wants to try it on their Touch Pro, let us know if it works!

tried on my TP....didn't work for me. I have v5 of the slide to answer Touch HD phone pad. I know the post only shows v4, but I grabbed a copy before he pulled v5 and since it worked, i didn't bother to load v4. Maybe this is why I don't see a record option anywhere? Do I need v4.......do I need to load up vito notes? thanks ...

you should have ICR control panel in programs menu after installation. There you can configure recording format and if you want to save recordings to main memory or to storage card. But I recommend to use some other - autorecording app.


Important notice: some people reported that they have to run ICR from dialer once to enable recording in other apps. It's uncertain if this has to be done after each soft reset..

For those who want to try this with other ROM : you must install some other dialer, I didn't have the recording option in the original one. As I remember, I installed S2A dialer from somewhere and it had this option.

You don't need Vito notes or any other app, ICR works without it
