There was (actually is, have just checked as mentioned below.) a (maybe) similar problem with Rom Toolbox, where it didn't get root privileges sometimes IIRC and the result was that scripts wouldn't execute correctly or they would end up in a loop. When I asked Jared about that he answered that it's a bug with Android itself and that they are trying to contact someone from Google regarding the issue.

I have just checked and the issue still persists. Maybe you could suggest skvalex to check with Rom Toolbox developer if he knows anything more about the issue, if you determine actually that the issue is with getting superuser privileges...

Have you tried setting kernel with 2 way recording patch instead of alsa? That uses alsa also, but maybe there is a small difference which could work for you. I was using that option with testing version of the app and it worked well. Now I have to use alsa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Yes, I did try and record setting it to record via 2-way recording patch but the app would not even start upon placing a call this way.

That's interesting regarding the bug with rom toolbox. Was this issue/bug a problem exclusive to the gnex or anything 4.0 and up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] misoxda:
Any news on updating to 4.1 JB?

Since this application costs so much, I expected a more rapid update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I am sorry I have somehow completely missed your question. I don't know is this ICS or GN specific, Jared only said it is the error within android it self. I have asked him again regarding the issue, but he responded some of my old questions (which were already answered and solved) and ignored/didn't notice the actual question.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Silly question. But here one example, there are jobs which require one to record conversations (calling person get the warning message...) , like if you work as a TSO (Transport System Operator) of a natural gas network.

Further, imagine you have to communicate with people who are not native speakers, speak English or whatever very bad, or sometimes you get a lot (too much) of data in a conversation. In all these cases helps if you have recorded the conversation.

He maybe wants to record some scary things, blackmail people or even animals, but why do you actually care?

edit:

Sorry for rudeness, maybe you just asked in a normal way... I just got sick of people who are 'asking' that question, and then actually give incredible stupid 'answers' like 'it is illegal', 'no one needs that' or something. My question to those people / kids, why do you bother posting in this thread? Go do something useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escapeplan:
What you mentioned would only matter if you were trying to submit information from a recorded call in court. There may be other forms of dissemination of a recorded call that could get you in trouble if the unknowing party was angered and wanted to sue. You also couldn't use it for "entrapment". There is nothing inherently illegal about recording a call in and of itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0vermind:
I'd love to see this too.

Need to record high-security government conversations. Or maybe I just own a business and need to record phone calls so I can remember what people say. You pick one. :P

Please donate to help fund 2wcr call recording for Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The Skvalex guy who wrote the CallRecorder [1] app would love nothing more than to write the (2wcr, 2-way-call-record) kernel patch for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it's just a chicken-and-the-egg problem as he doesn't yet have a phone to do the work on.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the only phone he's asking for right now.

I think Skvalex has the best chance of getting this going given his track record with other phones.

Please send your donations here like I did:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I would pay 20 €.

Why does he need 850$? GSM is not more then 600$... Probably for LTE version...

It would be interesting to know is it possible at all to implement such kernel patch. I read somewhere that 2way recording is not possible because of technical & software reasons. If technical means hardware actually and if the statement is correct...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stickerbob:
I have always used Google Voice for this feature. It appears to only work on incoming calls, but works very well. Once the call is complete the recording shows up in your GV inbox.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KallistiMan:
I thought skvalex wrote the app, not the kernel patch? Is anyone working on a kernel patch for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus?

Additionally I'd rather pledge my cash for a working solution instead of donating to one developer who might realize that it can't be done. It's more of giving incentive of getting it done. Isn't there a service for that, like an escrow thing?

I've just come from the webOS scene where I have a record of donating a couple of hundred dollars, so it's not like I don't want to pony up for solutions, I just don't know how it's done here and I want to make sure the quickest solution gets it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biswasd:
Kernel is the primary issue....skvalex will then mod his software

*************************

you are correct sir!

a developers needs to create a stable kernel that contains the libaudio changes needed to use skvalex call recorder software.

skvalex will then need to test new versions of call recorder --- modified to run correctly on the "new" galaxy nexus kernel (which as i mentioned above, will have to be first developed).

this is a two step process.

Unless i'm also mistaken, i don't believe skvalex has created kernels before, i.e. htc thunderbolt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dvirf:
well, franco has just released a new version of his kernel today. the changelog says: "Sound driver hacked - echo 15 > /sys/devices/virtual/misc/twl6040/boosted_volume for example increases your device max volume".

somebody knows whether the capability of call recording has been enabled in this kernel version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Michigan Jason:
Not sure why you guys havent found the same app that i have, but I have been using one that records your calls in full. I have plugged my phone in right after and played the recordings. The volume is a little low, so you will need to turn your speakers up, but i recorded both sides of the call. Used it to prank some ostrich farms asking the lady if we could buy a whole live ostrich and teach it to do tricks. It was funny and I have the whole call, we listen to it often.

I am in the middle of a nand restore so i cant tell you the name now, but it was something like androrecord or andrecord somthing like that. I can let you know if you guys still care..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
We have, and that app (actually apps, b/c there are more such apps) actually doesn't work, even if you think it does : ).

You have noticed already that the sound of another person is 'a little' low, soon you will notice that it is mostly to low. It depends actually on how loud the person is.

Such apps use microphone to record incoming voice, which is not the best solution. That works better when one turns the speaker on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jscat1:
Did you guys try the miui rom? Pretty sure that has recording built in.

It sounds to me like what we already have. It really depends on how loud the person is when the app uses a microphone. That works for loud people but I need an app which works for quiet persons too...

You'll get +1 from me if you do it. This is taking long, we will probably never get it. Will never buy a phone uncapable for this thing again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SteelToast:

I'm tempted to I just dont want to get *****ed at, I know the dangers of posting in the Dev section when others dont agree it should be there lol. Anybody else think its worth a shot?

Yes that was discussed briefly in this thread, problem is the voice on the other end is quiet and it doesnt work on speakerphone - which is completely ass backwards from the normal call recording APPS, or so I've read.

You can set up Tasker to record calls on any ROM, any phone.

I'm surprised that nobody has yet mentioned it. This capability has been around for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You are missing the point. People here want to record the audio from the device itself (i.e., kind of a line out type-of-thing), not via the speakerphone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Terrible? It is significantly worse trying to record audio over a speakerphone like the app you linked to. And besides, people want to record both sides of a call WITHOUT the speakerphone turned on. Yes, Skype is an option. But people want to do it without Skype. It has been done in the past on other devices; it's just that no one has taken on this challenge yet. We need a compatible kernel.

Maybe someone could get in touch with avs333. I believe he's the one who built the kernel for the Desire and the N1. I don't really have a need for this, but just trying to help out! :)

All I know is to get it working on the Cap a specific dialer was needed on an i9000 kernel.

Its illegal to record conversation without others knowledge, probably y most respected dev won't touch it. ( just saying )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Really? In what country? In Canada, as long as one party in the conversation knows the call is being recorded, it is perfectly legal. I would suspect the US would be similar.

Edit: fixed auto correct typos.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Yeah, that's why there are bunch of call recording apps which work on other phones on the market, and in general for other phones on the net.

Maybe Google wants people to use Google Voice for call recording? Too bad it works only in states.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AznInertia:
Here's a website to show the legality of recording conversations. It goes on a state by state basis. I live in California and it is illegal unless you have BOTH parties consent.

It is a crime in California to intercept or eavesdrop upon any confidential communication, including a telephone call or wire communication, without the consent of all parties. Cal. Penal Code §§ 631, 632. It is also a crime to disclose information obtained from eavesdropping. However, an individual can still be convicted without disclosing information. Two appellate courts have held that there is no disclosure or publication requirement for violation of the Privacy Act by recording confidential communications without consent. Coulter v. Bank of America, 28 Cal. App. 4th 923 (Cal. Ct. App. 1994). Marich v. MGM/UA Telecommunications, Inc., 113 Cal. App. 4th 415 (Cal. Ct. App. 2003).

http://www.rcfp.org/can-we-tape

FYI: I don't necessarily agree with this law, but that's just how to is. Just want you guys to be careful

P.S. California penalty, a first offense of eavesdropping is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and imprisonment for no more than one year. Subsequent offenses carry a maximum fine of $10,000 and jail sentence of up to one year. Intercepting, recording, and disclosing information each carries a separate penalty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Just stop ****ting about illegality of call recording. That has nothing to do with the possibility to record calls.You can warn another party that the call is going to be recorded or even ask for permission.

I am truly sorry for my impoliteness, I have overlooked this quoted sentence, and am pretty irritated by people, who won't stop talking about illegality of call recording, in order to explain us how we poor creatures actually don't need such an evil app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
According to the link you posted, under federal law, and in 38 states, it is legal with the consent of only ONE party. I didn't read much further, but I would suspect the other 12 states would require consent of all parties.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariekesuzanne:
I believe I listened to at least two of you whine incessantly on the Thunderbolt for almost a yr about how "vital" call recording was and if you (you know who you are) bought another phone without verifying that there were roms/ kernels that supported it, well... not.so.vital.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
Please do remember that there are other countries than the US...

Law changes between countries, just like it changes between states in the US.

Besides, it's illegal to drive beyond 70 mph on most US rural roads, but still cars are not intentionally crippled to this speed, right?

So please stop this irritating righteousness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quentin0:
Enough with the off topic discussion, it's legal in some areas and illegal in others. Here's an idea, let's stop talking about whether or not it's legal and just get the mod working, then the leave it to the user to use where the law permits.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escape2mtns:
Has anyone checked out "Lean Kernel"? In the FAQ from the developer of that kernel he says if you're interested in call recording just make sure you have an ICS app and let him know what kernel changes need to be made.

Thanks, but that's the hard part. This feature cannot be enabled in kernel config file. Nor there is a patch to be applied. One first needs to code it or to modify the already existing one, made for older kernels and different phones.

Ok, I understend now thanks to skvalex's interpretation below.

Was it easy : )? Thanks for your effort!

Your last sentence seems to be incomplete? "At nexus, it was the..."

Could you tell what have you meant with 'Never mind the kernel'?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skvalex:
It means that he created 2wcr patch for Galaxy Nexus.. And it should works with a stock kernel, only root will be needed. So CallRecorder will support Galaxy Nexus soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Great : )!Thanks for the explanation!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Can't wait...THANKS GUYS!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avs333:
Sorry, yes I was so happy to announce the feature as to forget that:

This kernel itself is _not_ responsible for 2wcr. I daresay, I've seen _many_ kernels, the omap4 kernel is the BEST, so:

You don't need to rebuild anything (or, basically you don't even root the thingy), you just have to config it properly for +whatever+ you need, including 2wcr or autoanswer. So simple as that. And when you migrate to some other ROM, it does not really matter (if the ROM maker should have changed the basic code, he shouldn't).

As of now, a couple days when skvalex releases the whole stuff, it's easy now just be patient, the problem _is solved_.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Excellent! I am waiting to buy his app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
Nice, can't wait to try it out. Great job. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avs333:
Well said.. yes it +is+ responsible (whoever is, then?), I meant it's a userspace issue, but the kernel is written so good that you needn't patch it.

So, skvalex made a test built, and it worked great for me. He'll upload it tomorrow. Please make sure that 2wcr works in _any_ arrangement, e.g. headphones or bluetooth (it won't be easy to fix after I return the device soon). Also mind it's a +test+ so you need /system/lib/libasound.so (if you don't have it already, it's available from the Market with skvalex's AlsaMixer).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skvalex:
Here is test build as avs333 promised. Alsa in experimental features must be installed. Record from kernel or ALSA should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I am getting a parse error when trying to install it... I have your alsa mixer app installed but what you mean with 'alsa in experimental features must be installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dvirf:
hi there,

we were waiting for this feature for a long time, so i just wanted to say thank you!

hi !carzy, i got the same "parse error" message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escape2mtns:
Confirmed working here. Both bluetooth and standard call recording are working fine. Don't have a corded headset to test. The only comment I would make is that the audio recorded was a bit lower than when the call was live (but not a huge deal).

Great job - Thanks!

BTW - I installed the AlsaMixer from market and purchased/installed the full CallRecorder from market before installing this test app.

Edited:

Just want to mention that I'm using AOKP 31 with the kernel they package (faux I believe)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Will this work with Lean kernel?

Edit: works with IMO kernel. Volume as mentioned above definitely needs some tweaking though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
B20 works with faux kernel (have tried 015), with leankernel it worked too but sound quality during the conversation was bad. Maybe that has nothing to do with the app. Glados kernel doesn't work. What is bad, since that's the kernel I usually use. Hope Ezeekel will fix this.

I have noticed a small bug in the app. If it is the bug? Recorded calls are always played on laudapeaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
AlsaMixer made the volume on my Gnex go down. Most notably when on a phone call. I do use Volume+ but what can I do to fix shy of uninstalling Salsa?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escape2mtns:
I ended up uninstalling alsamixer because others couldn't hear me and said it sounded like I was using a voice distortion app or something (sounded not quite like me). I rebooted my phone and people still said it sounded like I was talking into a tin can. It wasn't until after I disabled callrecorder that my voice sounded normal on the calls.

BTW - when callrecorder is turned on I also hear my own voice playing back in my ear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Which kernel, which ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escape2mtns:
I'm running the latest aokp 31 using a bluetooth headset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I am on BlackIce 31.31. which is based on AOKP 31 and installed faux ultimate 015 kernel. I am not sure if that is the same version delivered with AKOP 31, all I know is that they use faux's kernel now.

Didn't have such problems but I do not use bluetooth. Similar happened to me when I tried imo's leankernel.

I still didn't try how it works with alsa's TWL6040 set to High-Performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing these problems. I installed Alsa and then uninstalled it just so I would have that .so file CR needed.. Installed the CallRecorder and it "works", BUT, like others said the person on the other end is SOO quiet! Rendering the app useless right now since I can barely hear those Im talking to. Looking forward to the final version where these bugs have been worked out, but uninstalled for now.:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
You are the first one who said that the person on the other side is quiet. escape2mnt said that recorded conv is a bit lower, so he probably meant both sides.

In your case that is indication that 2wcr actually doesn't work at all. Have you used CallRecorder from the market, or the link provided above?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escape2mtns:
Yep - for me, the first thing I noticed was the recorded conversation was quieter. I had some echo (of my speech into my earpiece) using the bluetooth headset but thought maybe it was just that call. My test calls were made to an automated attendant so that I could call repeatedly without harassing anyone. When I started placing/receiving live calls, the parties on the other end stated that my voice sounded muted, modified (wrong tone/pitch), and like I was speaking into a tin can. When I disabled callrecorder, the echo and poor call quality disappeared.
