[MOD ROOT] Enable native call recording on S8 Nougat

[diego1810]

You have to be rooted, with a root explorer add this line to system/omc/"your csc folder"/cscfeature.xml :
<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>
For example if you have an Italian csc you will have: system/omc/ITV/cscfeature.xml
Save and reboot.

Would this work in any GS nougat device? Thank you...

maybe, I don't know, tested only on my S8, bye.

Thank you! Working!

You might want to take/put note that not all S8 model has "omc" directory,

example, G950FD in some country using "system/csc/" directly instead, just like my country use "system/csc/XID"

but the rest of the steps or tricks is 99% similar,

files which needed to be modded are same files

I tried but stuck at "Custom binary locked by FAP Lock" when I reboot... I don't know what is my mistake

This definitely works but there is a small typo in the OP. The code to use is:

<CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>RecordingAllowed</CscFeature_VoiceCall_ConfigRecording>

Also remember to paste it inside the [FeatureSet] [/Featureset] brackets.

This doesn't work as it comes up with an error after the call saying, "Failed to save recording"

I have used the code on multiple Samsung devices for several years now. Have you deleted the stock voice recorder app by any chance?

I have the exact same issue. I have also used this method successfully for years too. I can't figure out what's wrong.... The feature is enabled in the dialer and in settings...it appears the call is being recorded, but then when the call ends it says "failed to save recording. " Stock voice recorder is installed. Problem persists no matter which rom or kernel or csc is used.

I am using a UK version phone in USA on AT&T.....csc is BTU. I wonder if yours is the same?

I am in UK using EVR (EE) CSC which is stock with stock ROM and stock kernal.

I get this problem and can't figure it out either. There are screenshots added to show the error I get ... However I can see that when you empty the /sdcard/calls folder and start a new call recording, you get a temp .voicecall file appear (which is a hidden file) but then it fails to save when the call is ended.

Yes, that is exactly what I see too. I'll add that the Tasker actions to record calls also do not work and throw complaints about the source.

Remember to set folder authorization with root explorer to 755 and file xml to 644

In my hunt to enable download Booster I found the activity for this setting in Nova launcher widget activity under phone. Called "auto record calls". You can enable it to record all calls, calls from numbers not saved, or specific numbees. No root required to enable. Not sure if enabling this will help turn something on for you guys. Just wanted you to know, if you didn't already, that it is there.

All of a sudden mine is saving the recordings properly?? I'm not sure how? But now it is.

I opened the voice recording app -> started a recording -> allowed permissions -> opened the csc folder in /system and made the permissions to my cscfeature.xml 644 and rebooted but not sure what caused it to start working but now it is!

Strange. Still no joy here. I have all three permissions granted for voice recorder and of course permissions are correct for the xml file... no idea what I'm missing.
