2-Way Call Recording ...

Okay, I really must begin by saying that I've spent the last 90+ minutes searching for an answer to this question, just to be sure I'm not duplicating efforts. Unfortunately, I was unable to find an answer.

My previous phone was an HTC Inspire running Android Revolution. It had 2-way call recording that worked flawlessly.

Is this available on the Sensation running ARHD?

Apart from this requirement, which is very important to me, everything else is now working perfectly, and I must thank Mike and everyone involved for their terrific efforts on this ROM ... and Faux123 for the great kernel.

So, 2-way call recording? Is it possible?

And, please ... I don't want to hear from anyone who's going to say that it's already part of the HTC Sensation. It's not! Period! And I would prefer not to hear from anyone who's going to tell me to try this app, or that app from the market. THEY DO NOT WORK! All they do is record the callers voice coming from the output of the speaker.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Peter
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
So what do you want to hear then? If it's not part of the standard sensation experience and you don't want an app, then you won't have it, cause ARHD is standard rom optimized, but without additional functionality.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
After ensuring all the apps you have on your desktop are on your phone, use TB to restore "[DESKTOP] Sense..." data (it should be marked in green). Widgets on your desktop will not be restored properly, but all shortcuts, wallpaper, etc. will be. So all you have to do is re-add the widgets.

Note that this will only work if the versions of Sense are the same.

The easiest way to try it is make a backup of your phone before restoring the Desktop, then check everything works. Also check that when you try to add a widget to your desktop, that there are no empty entries in the list (which indicate an app has been removed between releases).
[HTC Sensation] Jayedamina:
Sweet:) go get your well deserve rest Mike. Really appreciate your work and dedication.

Good work over here mike! looking forward to seeing what you cook up for us!!

Hello I search the forum but couldn't find anything or my search terms was incorrect.

My problem is with the new Market app. It takes ages to finalize a search and just browsing it gives me headaches it is so slow. I'm facing this with other custom ROMs too. Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
Anyone know how to fix the camera flash on 1.1.3? I can take pictures, but the flash does not work on auto, on, or off settings. I tried them all to see if there was something weird going on but none of them work.
[HTC Sensation] webmanya:
It is a known problem with the new Custom Kernels. Because as far as I understand HTC released some faulty kernel source so we have to wait for devs to fix it or you can try stock kernel. Look around and you will find how to flash the stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Element515:
i do wish that this supported wifi calling, oh well. I'll leave it for now. Might try out virtuous sensation though cause i'm not sure how my cell reception will be in my dorm this year.
[HTC Sensation] vincepg13:
Read like a page back Mike is producing a package for WiFi calling tomorrow pal
[HTC Sensation] WorldIRC:
Get back to work Mike. No sleep until you please everyone :)
[HTC Sensation] adclem:
Just patiently waiting, can't wait to try this ROM out.

Thanks,:)
[HTC Sensation] mgorman:
I'm on stock rom and I tried flashing the CRT screen animation and it doesn't do anything. Do I have to enable a setting somewhere?
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
Great! Looking forward to that and WiFi calling 2morro. Thanks for the hard work bro. Much appreciated!

Now the camera flash and custom kernel issue is my only concern....but that spans across all custom ROMs right now. I'm patient enough to wait....stock kernel is treating me good right now.
[HTC Sensation] itsmikeramsay:
He's adding it in the update tomorrow morning. Both you and I want WiFi calling along with sooooo many others. He did say it's prepped for release....just tomorrow morning though.

BTW I'm currently running Virtuous right now on the stock kernel and I love it. I wanna see what Android Revolution is about....but Virtuous is the best......so far. Just my opinion...
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
There is a flashable zip for wifi calling floating around somewhere. I used it to add wifi calling to 1.1.2.
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
i think this is the one, i actually used it to fix wifi calling on my stock rom that i backed up
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Flash with CWM?
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
yup thats it

Big Problem

Hi Guys,

i have a really big problem with my sensation.

i did tonight S-OFF , SU and CID

after that i wanted to flash the Andriod Revolution Rom.

so i read the complete 1st and 2nd post and did the Super Wipe.

after that i wantet to install the ARR... and so i get this:

Installing: /sdcard/Andriod_Revolution_HD-Sensation_1.1.3.zip

Finding update package...

Opening update package

Verifying update package

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

so i only have the white htc bootscreen on startup.

could u help me ?

(excuse me for my bad english ;) )
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
[HTC Sensation] dubie76:
S-off doesnt give you root. You still need to root the phone
[HTC Sensation] joshua:
Hi mike,

Thanks again for the upgraded 1.1.3 rom n the latest no-sense script..

Was wondering can we add/change fonts juz by putting them in the fonts folder or i need to run certain script.

Another thing is the carrier name. Possible to edit or customise?

Thanks for reading..

*awaiting 1.1.4 or any other upgrades from u
[HTC Sensation] atticus182:
Hey Mike! 3.1.1 is still running like a charm, awesome work!
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Is it legal?
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
Probably depends on where you live.

But if it's legal somewhere to record the caller, then it sure is legal to additionally record your own voice.
[HTC Sensation] jetjockgordo:
You have to go back to the old Windows Mobile system to get built-in call recording. I don't know if any android phone or app that works like the WM did. I have resigned myself to using the Tape Recorder app and use the speakerphone to get both parties clearly. Of course it has to be done in a fairly quiet environment.

Sent from my anti-iPhone HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Ankobarabanko:
As much as I know presently Call recording is supported by Unity kernels. I came from Virtuous ROM and this feature was enabled because it uses Unity kernel. I find this feature really useful but once I tried ARHD I abandoned Virtuous.

I will be very happy if Call recording becomes available for this amaising ROM (ARHD)

[HTC Sensation] mndgz:
3.1.1 random freezes, boot loops and reboots are back....have to remove the battery 2-3 times a day.

Back to stock kernel for me
[HTC Sensation] Masrawy:
I confirm that my phone even with stock voltages crashes after 39minutes with StabilityTest, doing a scaling test between 384mhz and 1566mhz using faux123 0.1.4 1.5ghz kernel...

So for me it gives me the same result as 50mV of undervolting, so I think I can say that my phone is stable at 50mV undervolted.
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
No offense, but your reply doesn't help. I'm simply trying to save people time by not having to reply with wasted information that this works or that works when none work.

This is a ROM issue.

I simply want to know why there is 2-way call recording on numerous other Android Revolution ROMs, but not with this one?

Peter

It's perfectly legal in Canada.
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
Hi,

This dual voice recording is a kernel thing. Ask faux123 ...
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
It worked on my HTC Inspire perfectly

Actually, you're not correct.

My previous phone, an HTC Inspire 4G, operating the Virtuous_Unity ROM had 2-way call recording functionality. When used with a program from the market called CallRecorder by skvalex, it worked great, but you had to have root to use it. This program worked on a number of Android phones.

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

Now your answer is what I'm looking for. I did not know it was a Kernel thing. I thought it was the ROM, but I'm sorry for the error.

I will ask Faux123.

Thanks,

Peter
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
I haven't had a single issue. I wonder if it isn't a mod you added... For example, I added one of the battery mods, and it screwed menus and graphics. Try the vanilla 3.1.1 at no faster than 1.51GHz and no mods, and see if you still encounter any problems.
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
I think I did answer that question: Because it's not part of the original Rom, and Mike does not add any functionality to the Original Rom by purpose.

Thus my answer should have helped :D. (no offense of course also )
[HTC Sensation] Sk1985:
Hello i have installed the minimalistics fonts zip file in recovery mode but how can i remove it? Because i dont like this style. Thx
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Ah, so it is! :)
[HTC Sensation] bradmill08:
What is wrong with the battery life on this rom? It would be the best rom if the Damn battery would be better
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Again ...

Thank you but, again, the other phone's ROMs also did not have this as part of their standard functionality.

And, by the way, Mike DID INCLUDE 2-way call recording on some of his other ROMs. For example, Android Revolution, by Mike, for Desire HD had 2-way call recording functionality.

Thus, your answer did not help. (no offense, of course) :)

Peter
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Did you make a nandroid backup beforehand? If so, the quickest way is to restore from recovery. If you used Titanium Backup before you installed, then you can use a filter to show only those things which have been installed since that backup, and selectively roll back those files.

Rule 1 before installing updates and mods: always make a backup in recovery mode first. Then if something goes wrong, or you don't like the update, you can just restore.

Oh, and if you don't have Titanium Backup Pro, get it! It will save your ass (the next time ;)).
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Good Advice ...

VERY GOOD ADVICE!

Don't ever change anything until you've made a Nandroid backup. Going back is so easy if something should happen.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] jotha:
If you don't have a nandroid backup, then reflash the Rom. Then the fonts are standard again.
[HTC Sensation] zelendel:
ok guys, 2 way call recording is still a very touchy issue as it is not legal everywhere. Main reason I will never add it to my roms. Not to mention a huge invasion of privicy. Sense it is kernel related Mike doesnt really add it to the rom he just adds the kernel, if it has it then the rom has it, if the kernel doesnt then the rom doesnt. Please lets not argue about it lol
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Thank you!

Yes, I just learned that it's part of the Kernel. I've asked Faux123 if it's possible to add it. Now all I have to do is wait for the reply.

Invasion of privacy? Not at all when YOU'RE a party to the conversation. I agree, however, when you're not a party and your recording other people's conversations. The latter is illegal in Canada, while the former is perfectly legal ... as it should be.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
Yes, but it's amazing how often one has to re-learn this lesson :(

I lost three days of work in one CS class at U of T ... and it was back then that I rammed this lesson into my head. Had to ram it in again a couple of times since (ok, I'm blonde)...

The advantage of not doing a backup, however, is that one becomes quite proficient at re-installing things exactly how you like them, and programs tend to be a lot better the second time you write them... ;)
[HTC Sensation] the_real_fosgate:
Hello,

can anybody help me?

I want to UV my CPU. I bought System Tuner, but I am blind ;-)

I don´t find the possibility to undervolt. Help please :-)

Bye

Robert
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Me, too ...

Sadly, I've fallen prey to this type of "brain fart" myself. Now I try to backup everything quite regularly.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] zelendel:
As long as I am asked then I have no issue with it, but it is when one is not asked and still recorded that it becomes an issue. It depends on the state here on if it is legal or not. In alaska it has the same rules, as long as one party knows it is being recorded then it is fine. Which means as long as i know it is recording i dont have to ask the other party, but in my home state it is only legal if both parties know it is being done which is the way it should be.
[HTC Sensation] kripwalk:
Omg Mike the battery life is beast. From like 7 am to 1 pm and its at 96%
[HTC Sensation] Sk1985:
To bad i didn't make any backup so have to reflash the rom. Thanks for the reactions. :)
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
It used to be illegal to record a telephone call in Canada unless the party was told and there were audible beeps. That law has obviously changed for reasons indicated in the legal link I gave. However in many countries it is illegal, an invasion of privacy... similar to secretly video-recording... it is inadmissible as evidence and can land you in hot water in many countries. Can be considered wire-tapping.
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Agree to Disagree ...

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

The way I see it is, the only way to keep something private is to not speak it out loud. The moment you decide to talk to another person, they automatically have the right to tell others what you've said. Case in point, I could listen to you talk to me on the telephone, and if I had the necessary short-hand skills, I could write down everything you said, verbatim. I could then show others. That would never be illegal, right? So, why not with a recorder?

Anyway, to each his own, I guess. I respect your point of view even if I don't agree with it.

Peter
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
No problem.

Be sure to always make a nandroid backup in recovery before installing a mod of any type. And do yourself a huge favour by purchasing Titanium Backup Pro and always making a backup before updates with that, as well (including scheduled backups).

Believe me, once you start working with ROMs, doing upgrades and exploring the possibilities of mods, you will thank me.
[HTC Sensation] Sk1985:
thanks for your advise. Flashed the rom and everything is fine again. I will give nandroid and titanium backup a try!
[HTC Sensation] zelendel:
I agree that we will just disagree on this point. Depending on what what said on the phone and relaid, in the states it could still be used to sue someone for too many bloody things. Like here me calling you an any name can laid one in jail for verbal assault.

Too many people are sue happy lol. But I agree. I respect your point of view on it even if i dont agree.
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Guys,, It looks like law lessons in here ;)

I don,t think We need it,, And i think Mike is also done already :)

So maybe zelendel can clean up his own mess :)....just kidding huh :)

If you want 2way call recording.. just flash VU/MDJ Kernel and install the 2wcr.apk.

All on my site :)

[HTC Sensation] zelendel:
Agreed. ok back on topic

Screen time out

Great work on the ROM. Thanks.

I flashed to the most current ROM today and have noticed that my screen no longer turns off automatically. I have the time out setting at 15sec and nothing happens. I have checked the "Stay Awake" setting under development and it is not checked.

I have also searched the forums with no luck.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome.

Thanks for all the help in advance.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Forgive me Mike for I have sinned.

I installed Cyanogen7, but then realised it wasn't for me, so I have returned to ARHD.

Apologies, it won't happen again (hehe)

[HTC Sensation] DefiantMenace:
Anyone...... hmmm perhaps its just me.....
[HTC Sensation] PeterGuru:
Please explain ...

Forgive my ignorance, but when you say VU/MDJ, are you referring to the file called PYR_UNITY_V8_OC1512_CIFS_TUN_NOOP_JRCU_2WCR, and when you say install the 2wcr.apk, do you mean the file called CallRecorder_v.1.0.27_alpha_build05?

Finally, how does one install the apk file? Do I simply move it to my SDCard and then click on it to install?

Thanks,

Peter
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
This kernel

http://www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/Sensation/Kernel/PYR_UNITY_V9_OC1944_CIFS_TUN_NOOP_2WCR.zip

Last time i used it,,it worked,, only the sound quality is not as good as on the old DHD/Inspire,, but its just a matter of time the kernel guys will tweak it better i guess.

And yes, you can install the .apk by put it on your SD and click it.
[HTC Sensation] sowen222:
That happened with faux0.1.2 kernel, sometimes referred to as screen-tearing, due to a problem with the way the GPU was overclocked. Are you running the latest version?

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

Hazarding a really wild guess here, but are your notification sounds on your SD card, and do they stop working when you plug your phone into the USB? If your SD card is mounted as a disk on your workstation, your phone can't access it to play the notification sounds.
[HTC Sensation] navillos:
Man Mike 3.1.1 is so friggin smooth, I went to an AOSP ROM and had to come back. This is my first sense phone and I think I might like better.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Ok guys your sins are forgiven :p
[HTC Sensation] i900frenchaddict:
You're absolutly right! I was very busy at work, so I think my screen ON time wasn't above 3 hours long, just note that during these 3 hours my CPU was set to 1.5 or 1.7ghz because except for a few calls, I was playing games with it or running CF-bench^^

You were generous saying "30/35 hours", it must be 32/35 hours indeed!

But even for busy days, with no time to play, that's the first time I can really do 2 days in a row without having to charge and no worries about the end of the second day.

Tonight, with same use I still have 20% of battery, time to plug before sleeping ;-)
[HTC Sensation] meteor999:
Fast, smooth, stable, Im loving it..

But had one issue alright, when I end a call there is a distorted green along the quick menu, which actually casued it to crash on the first call, however it hasnt happened since, but I figure this is because I installed the Battery mod which was not meant for 3.1.1

I just dont want to reflash as everything is working so well
[HTC Sensation] RaptorRVL:
So, I'm running 3.1.1 now from the moment it went online (or better, I was able to download it :) ).

Very smooth! With absolutely zero problems so far, just freakn' perfect!

Installed some small mods:

- CRT Screen-on / off Animation (version 0.2)

- % Battery Mod 2 (version 0.1) *

- -75mv undervolt (this, from zimphishmonger)

* note, I installed battery mod after CRT animation which removed the CRT animation. So had to install CRT animation again (luckily battery mod remained yay! :D ).

Maybe someone found the above info usefull. :p

Unrelated.

Started playing with my sensation, noticed something straight off the bat that I had hope was untrue, but unsure if it's common or just limited to certain devices. When running WiFi and I put my hand over the top of the phone I almost lose all signal and sometimes lose all signal. I had read about this but that was a mixed boat, Do you all experience this or is it just some/defective phones? Please PM me, so I know what course of action to pursue. Thank you so much for your feedback. Vincent:eek:

Yeah it was, you had a pick from like everthing. Pretty disappointed that no one has done anything like that for this rom
[HTC Sensation] Lucky Thirteen:
It was the first thing I checked when the issue occur, but nothing was incorrectly set in Settings. One week back (or maybe two) the sound when answering the phone was directly sent via the external speaker instead of the ear speaker, this was a bug in Go SMS too. It's not a major bug, and generally the Go crew fix those bugs very quickly with an update.
