Sharing a call recorder that worked for me on Android 10, Lg G8x

[dumitrudan608]

Hi guys,

I've been struggling for quite a while to find a working call recorder for Android 10 Lg G8x and I finally found one that works without you having to click your heels 3 times and do 7 summersaults... Just thought i would share it with the community:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fragileheart.callrecorder
All you need to do is change the audio source to Voice calls, and it records normal calls speaker calls and bluetooth

Wow... You made my day. I've been testing several Call Recorders with no success because I need recording for my work. If this works in a decent way you will have solve one of the problems I had with G8x.

We should share what we find. Here are a few apps that I consider must have for G8X:
Wide mode for LG https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
Launch 2 apps, one on each screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.graymatterapps.duallaunchforlg or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.splitscreenlauncher
Overlay apps that really help if you are in Wide mode and can't reach:
- This one is the most used app on my phone, awesome assistive touch with very complex gesture controls if you want to go there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksxkq.floating . I use it with long press to move, press - menu, left - back, down - home, right - task manager, up - notifications, swipe up + hold - slide volume, swipe down + hold - slide brightness.
- Meteor Swipe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.glovebox . This one is a side-bar, and has a nice open in window mode directly.
- Floating bar V40: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tools.lgv30.floatingbar . Much better than the built in functionality, and the only media controller if found that works with any media (Netflix, Youtube, etc)
- Bubble notification, best i've found : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onedollar.bubblenotificationq
List My Apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.onyxbits.listmyapps
Launchers:
- Square home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.squarehome2
- Microsoft home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
-> Both have landscape support, and are leaps and bounds over Apex or Nova, the blank slates that everyone uses for launchers.

Leave feedback for the dev, he put in the work.
Do you have any tips/tricks you would like to share about your G8X?

I see people are not really sharing, and that is sad, because that is one of the reasons Samsung devices are in such high regards, because the XDA community is very verbal about them, even though LG practically gives you the tools to root their devices, whereas Samsung tries their best to not do so.

The call recorder doesn't work when the dual screen accessory is attached and closed, but it does work when you flip it back and answer the call. Can others verify ?

i too am facing the call recording issue... this app works sometimes, most of the times it doesnt record anything, cant determine when it works well
hope LG bring native call recording to LG G8X, i think its just matter of enabling it in GUI. is there a way to submit feature request to LG?

Did you "change the audio source to Voice calls" as i said in the description?

Did you "change the audio source to Voice calls" as i said in the description?

yes i did, still its flaky, works very rarely.

 

[dumitrudan608]

"Works very rarely" is not really a unit of measure, you need to be more precise when offering feedback like when this happens, and its better if you offer it to the devs.
I can confirm that with the initial settings, recording through Bluetooth headsets does not work,the resulting fine is just empty, and i remember it did, maybe something was updated or the LDAC options might affect it. Direct calls do record fine, and it's the only app that allows contact recognition that I found at least.

If you guys find a better app, please let us know.

Currently, the only app with call recording and caller recognition is https://cubeacr.app/ Use direct download, not from the play store, as google does not allow to recognize caller and record calls. The source for the call is "voice recognition software" It looks like it is a mic but in a different mode. Quality is not the best. For me, there is no reason to buy it. Disable automatic update for this app or it will be overwritten by google version.
