[MOD] Phone.apk with automatic call recording (v0.3)

[antsm]

[MOD] Phone.apk with automatic call recording​

Features:

• Automatic call recording for incoming/outgoing calls
• Added template system for flexible naming of records. No boring VoiceRecord001.amr anymore
• Disabled stop recording on some actions related to multi-line calling (i.e Hold, Conference mode, etc)
• Disabled stop recording when Dialer minimized to background
• Switchable increasing ringtone

Modification consist of 2 packages:

• Main package: Phone.apk with automatic call recording
• Extra package: contains phone-related modifications (DialerTabActivity.apk at this moment)

nb: Main package still fully-workable without Extra package.

There are two ways to control the modification:

• Using embedded "Settings" menu (included in Extra package)
  
  
  ​
  
  
• Using standalone Automatic Call Recording Control app from Dark3n
  
  
  ​

  Features:
  -Turn call recording on/off for incoming/outgoing calls.
  -Change file naming pattern for recorded calls.
  -View .rec_template file
  -Optional Prompt to delete recording after Call
  -Turn increasing ring On/Off

Which way to prefer? You can try both and choose the best for you.
Again, if you are using themed FW and don't want to break your general style by using unthemed apps (e.g DialerTabActivity.apk), so just use a Main package together with an Automatic Call Recording Control app.

All records are save in /sdcard/Sounds/CallRecords/. You can use stock "Voice Recorder" app to playback.

System requirements: Tested on SGS GT-i9000 (XWJS3). Most likely should work on any 2.2.1 FW.
Probably will not work on 2.2 FW's.

[*] Flash using CWM or Recovery 2e.

During update process, script will backup your original files to /sdcard/tmp/
To roll it back, flash update_restore_[main_extra_pkgs] file

History:
Version 0.3:

• Now project consist of Main and Extra packages
  
  
• Main (Phone.apk): Completely changed settings storing mechanism: all settings are saved in /sdcard/rec_settings.xml in XML format
  (no more .rec_template, .norec_in, .norec_out files)
• Main (Phone.apk): Added "Disable increasing ringtone" option
• Main (Phone.apk): Fixed bug with special characters in filename
• Extra (DialerTabActivity.apk): Embedded "Settings" menu
  
  
• Installer: "copy" routines moved from update.sh to native updater-script
  (should improve compatibility in some cases. Now *.sh using only for backup/restore procedure)
• Updated restoring script

Version 0.2a:

• Issue with filepath creation was finally solved.

Version 0.2:

• Forced sdcard/Sounds/CallRecords/ creation (if you've got "Fail Recording" it should fix it)
• Some works on BT-recording. Need more reports.

Version n/a: initial release

Thanks to: designgears, wes58 for files from Asian ROM which enable call recording.

This is seriously what a lot of people like me were looking for I guess. I am going to try it.

Oh man! Awesome stuff! I was really in need of something like this
Thanx a million
Downloading now

Awesome...

Really interested in having some feedback on how this works & if its better than Total Recall Call Recorder.

Thanks...

This libaudio.so and libaudioflinger.so has bug. Fring audio and video chat will not have audio out.

 

[antsm]

ronlkh, i know you worked in this way.
Can we cooperate to fix it?

 

[ragin]

Confirmed working with Calls made & Calls received.

I have rated this thread with a 5-start that it deserves.

Working perfectly on darky rom 9.3 beta 3

If possible, pl include some option to select whether to keep or not to keep recording after call

You can use just replace only the libaudiopolicy.so and dont touch other 2files but the conversation recorded could be softer. I am currently testing the libaudio.so and libaudioflinger.so from M110s but still the same. I dont know about coding development but if there is anything i can help I will be available. If I can find a better lib file I will update you.

I am more interested in the callback dialer. If you can code this dialer I will be very happy to help you in developing because I use callback service alot. I know how the procedure works.

cheers!

Cool!

Hmm, when call is ended (you press "End call" button or remote side drop it) record is stops. What behavior do you expect?

 

[smohanv]

Thanks mate.. Works smoother in JS5.

Do application like voodoo to choose Recording ON/OFF

 

[titooo7]

It would be nice if we can disable the automatic recording through the settings menu instead of creating files.

Thanks for collaboration. I'll check it

I haven't enough experience just in Android coding to create app from scratch (need dive into SDK, IDE and so on and have time on it ), but have some C/JAVA experience that's far enough to modify exist applications

It's good idea, but:

need dive into SDK, IDE and so on and have time on it

If someone of XDA coders would like to create such simple app (2 checkboxes (for IN/OUT recording), clicking on checkbox creates/deletes .norec_in/.norec_out file) it'll be cool

Found a small bug (thanks to orenzah)

when i called "*166" it's failed recording...
but when I gave it a name it wasn't failed..

I think there is a problem with saving names with '*'

Will be fixed.

Is bluetooth recording working with this?

 

[Uss_Defiant]

Any way to get this working on cm7?

Is bluetooth recording working with this?

I don't have BT headset, so not tested, but if it works by default then it will be work with this mod. If it wasn't, then answer is "No"
I haven't touch anything related to BT calling.

 

[Rar9]

Just tried it. Doesn't work with bluetooth. Would love to see this fixed as recording while driving can prove helpful.

Does anyone already worked in this way on XDA? If so, i could try to talk about implementation.
