Description:
Call Recorder - SKVALEX is intended for automatic call recording. The app provides functionality to record both sides on devices with such support. But some devices don't have 2-way call recording support, or have issues with Bluetooth recording.

Also, the app provides wide functionality to manage recordings:
- Search recordings
- Conversion from one format to another (e.g WAV to FLAC/OPUS/MP3/etc.)
- Adding notes to recorded files
- In-call control button while call recording: you can easily start/stop recording during a call
- Enter to the app using password (or fingerprint)
- Auto clean-up - automatically removes old recordings according to rules set by you. Starred recordings ignored.
- Exceptions: you may set up phone numbers, contacts or groups for specific actions, like always record or do not
- Filename template: you can easily change structure of created files
- Cloud backup support
- Playback recording over main speaker or handset speaker
- Access recording from within contact info
- Call confirm: the app will ask you whether you want to make a call or not
- After call actions dialog: the app will ask what to do with a recorded call
- Vibrate on call start/end

If you want to get option "start recording on answer" work without root, then you'll need to grant READ_LOGS permission to the app via adb:

adb shell pm grant org.skvalex.cr android.permission.READ_LOGS

Note, that you may need to manually enable logger in engineering menu (or anywhere else where your device manufacturer disabled it). Don't ask questions "how to enable logger" here, you better google it or ask it in forums about your specific device.

Additional patch for Call Recorder required on Android 7.x Nougat on some devices
Flash the attached zip over TWRP. SuperSU must be installed before flashing this patch.

If it were possible to avoid this patch, it would have been done. I've asked Chainfire to include this to SuperSU, but he rejected it.

[Plumix]

how do I install call recorder on my n1

I'm using
Google Nexus one
android vr 2.3.4
baseband vr : 32.41.00.32u_5.08.00.04
kernelvr : [email protected] #1
cpu: amrv7 rev2
mod vr : cyanogenmod-7.1.0-rc1-n1
build number : grj22

Thanks from a newby

 

[bgumble]

just read the manual

...

Description:
This program records phone calls from the phone line on some phones. Such recording is not usually available out-of-the-box, it needs hardware support in your OS kernel and root access . If you have an HTC device, you're in clover if you've got a custom ROM. Otherwise, please visit the xda site, there're plenty. Basically any device is supported, provided that it's based on a Qualcomm chip, say, their Snapdragons, etc. If your device has no such support, the program still records phone calls, but you need to select Android API in preferences and the recording will most likely proceed from the mike, not from the line. Please feel free to make any comments or send suggestions.

I have a htc desire with stock 3.14.405.1
with 2-way-call-recording patched kernel and, of course, root access
this program works perfect and is worth the money

CallRecorder
version: 1.0.45 alpha

Last update of this post: 12.01.2012

Description:
This program records phone calls from the phone line on some phones. Such recording is not usually available out-of-the-box, it needs hardware support in your OS kernel and root access. If you have an HTC device, you're in clover if you've got a custom ROM. Otherwise, please visit the xda site, there're plenty. Basically any device is supported, provided that it's based on a Qualcomm chip, say, their Snapdragons, etc. If your device has no such support, the program still records phone calls, but you need to select Android API in preferences and the recording will most likely proceed from the mike, not from the line. Please feel free to make any comments or send suggestions.

The list of supported devices:
Requires the kernel with 2-way call recording patch and ROOT permissions:
- HTC Desire
- HTC HD2
- Google Nexus One
- HTC Desire HD
- HTC Desire Z
- HTC Desire S
- HTC Incredible S
- HTC Thunderbolt
- HTC Sensation
- HTC EVO 3D (CDMA)

- Acer Liquid mt
- Dell Streak
- ZTE Blade
- HighScreen Cosmo
- Acer Liquid
- Sony Ericsson XPERIA ray
- Sony Ericsson XPERIA arc
- Samsung Galaxy S II X (SGH-T989)

It's the same version. Can you send me logs after a call? And don't forget to enable detailed logs before a call.

I have send you an email with my logs :
"CallRecorder Logcat ivangs1 SGS2 after a call"

Hope this can help.

What ROM and kernel do you use?

I am with last cyanogenmod kangs.

I have very low volume when play recorded conversations.

Nice!

Which format is the least taxing on the cpu?

i notice when i set it to mp3, immediately after the call ends, the phone slows down for abit.

wav seems to fair better..

 

[skvalex]

Which format is the least taxing on the cpu?

.wav or .amr (if device supports).

.mp3 just encodes pcm(.wav) to .mp3 after a call
