I downloaded AlsaMixer and purchased Call recorder from the market.

And also try CallRecorder_v.1.2_for_testers_build55.apk

Unfortunately its not even recording at all?

I dont see any files created on the folder (The folders totally EMPTY).

Whetehr its incoming or outgoing call it record nothing or nada.

Im running stock ICS 4.0.4 and rooted

HSPA+ version aka GSM

Is there any set up Im missing ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Market version doesn't work for GN, and if I understood you correctly you installed first the market version. Try cleaning app cache and cache partition, and reinstall. If that doesn't help try one the kernels which were reported to work, like CMPlus or faux.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luculuc:
Yes I tried with that version, it records really well but since then the in call volume is low and when I try to change the alsamixer values as it was suggested, I can no longer have access to them. I got this screen

I tried to uninstall and reinstall, clear the cache but still the same. any idea what I should do? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Try to reinstall alsa mixer. Have you actually tried with different kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Are there any instructions for getting call recording working on a stock galaxy nexusmGSM model (rooted)? Call recording is a make it or break it feature for me to get this phone. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Don't know... but since you already have rooted your phone, why not install one of the recommended kerneles?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Build 55 made in call volume MUCH better. Play back volume of recordings seems super quiet on loud speaker now though?

I'm using Faux 15U kernel. With custom Volume+. Which is better to use though, alsa recording or kernel?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Almost Human:
Thanx, this build 55 is working correctly. When will be ready the full version of app? I'm ready to buy.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Also, sometimes on recording a call, the other persons voice is VERY faint when I play back. My voice is loud and clear but...any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
I actually don't have the phone yet. Wanted to make sure I can get this feature working first since I use it a lot for note taking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
In fact, for whatever reason I'm not sure If its really even working... other than recording its own playback volume...I have Alsa and Faux 15u kernel. I just...dont get it. Doh

I have reinstalled alsa and call recording app clearing cache and all and no avail... I'm running out of things to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
For what it's worth, I'm able to record a voip call perfectly using sipdroid.

I don't know how they did it, but it works well. This is proof that you can record on a stock device without using custom roms ,kernels or hacks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Almost Human:
New version of Callrecorder is available for downloading in Android Market.

skvalex, thank you very much for such a usefull app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. A big thanks to skvalex and avs333.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LovellKid:
Unfreaking---believable. Messed around with this for the last half hour. The volume on the other side of the call was super low when I was using "Alsa" as the option, but i switched to the 2 way kernel option... WORKS LIKE A FREAKING CHARM. Crystal clear voice on the other side. This is *****in. Awesome, awesome work dev. I am running AOKP M5, Franco nightly 151.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kecinzer:
Hmm, I see, that app goes from $4,99 to $9,99 :(. I had plan to buy it for $5.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Any chance you can provide links for the ROM and kernel you are using? I'm still learning all the terminology and steps to doing this stuff. My GN is coming today. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
Noooo! It's way too expensive :(

Previous price was pretty much a fair deal.

Now I'll have to hold this purchase until someday it will be in a reasonable price again.

That sucks. $5 was expensive enough. $10 is just greedy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I bought it yesterday for 5$... though it is the only app with support for 2wr for GN after all this this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Thanks. I'll check it out. My GNex should be here today. I can't wait to turn off my iPhone (even though I do like iPhones)

Hey, you may to buy the app for 4.99$ using PayPal. PM me to get more information.

This offer only for 3 next days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] manager77:
it records just for 1 sec...how is that?

edit:works great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpeterson:
I had faith last week. I bought it then...

Thx for the great app!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Well I had call recording working with Alsa but now after rebooting my phone the other side of the recorded audio is super low. We all should pitch in $20 to Skvalex so he can buy a Galaxy Nexus and make a proper kernel patch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I never had such issue, but different ones, like the app doesn't record at all. Cleaning cache and reinstall of alsa and call recorder always helps.

There is no need for kernel patch. Most of kernels work I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Does that to me too. Even with it set on Alsa or kernel recording. Sometimes the other party's recorded audio is super quiet & other times its fine...doh
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
We all need to kick in to Skvalex's Galaxy Nexus fund. As soon as he gets a GN he can make a proper kernel patch and we can all be happy. Who's with me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I have donated 10 $, and besides don't know what you are talking about. Everything works fine here.

Edit:

As avs333 stated multiple times here, there is no need for kernel patch to be written.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
What's your ROM/kernel? Are you using the GSM GN?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Black ICE, CMPlus, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Does the ROM make a difference, or is it mostly the kernel that matters with call recording? Also do you have a link to the exact version of that kernel you used?

Thanks

Edit: Since I really need this feature for work, I just send $100 to skvalex's Galaxy Nexus fund. I'm tapped out now, but hopefully the rest of you guys can kick in the remainder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I dont think that ROM matters. you'll find the kernel in first two pages of dev sub forum, just search the page for CMPlus. Don't forget you need to have alsa installed, and market version of the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Awesome. Both sides come in loud, and clear? Also have you tested with bluetooth?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] southeastbeast:
Didn't read through whole thread but this is included in MIUI but I never got it to work.

Edit. This looks promising! Time to read thread. Sorry guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
I have recorded volume, and call volume rather good now on all sides (haven't tested with my bluetooth car stereo yet)

Device: GSM Galaxy Nexus

ROM: AOKP Milestone 5 (aokp_maguro_milestone-5)

Kernel: CMPlus (3.0.30 CMPlus-Tuna)

Using AlsaMixer (from Market)

CallRecorder set to use Alsa (CallRecorder from Market)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
I switched to Franco m3 kernel. Why will CallRecorder only work on Alsa setting with this kernel? Others mentioned Franco and kernel recording option because it made other partys volume louder, but when I switch to kernel recording it does not record Calls at all? A setting?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
I never had it working on Kernel recording. What kernel works with kernel recording
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skvalex:
CallRecorder works only with ALSA, even if kernel is selected. But when kernel is selected the app does unnecessary checking.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Will we ever be able to get other party's voice to consistently record louder? Sometimes playback of call is good, other times I can't even hear other side?

Thanks for everything Skvalex & avs. Seriously a milestone achievement!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skvalex:
Is it with BT headset only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
Other party's voice can barely be heard upon playback, but my side is loud and clear. I honestly haven't even tried a headset with it yet man. Sorry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Hi, skvalex. Thanks for the app, used it on my Evo Shift and glad that it's also available on my Gnex. Only concern I have is that it's constantly requesting SU. Every 30mins to hour I see the SU toast even though I'm not making phone calls. Any insight on this? Is it possible to stop? I feel like it can't be helping my battery any. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
That's an odd bug. Make sure to donate to Skvalex.com so he can get a GNex to test on and make a kernel patch for it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
He have already got one :thumbup:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:
I have been noticing that as well. I think its draining my battery faster as well. Other than that, it is a very useful app and he did a great job.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Using AOKP and CMPlus kernel it only asks for SU when I answer or make a call (since it activates). You must have something killing the process and it is respawning itself. That's my guess
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superstargoddess:
What do I need to do in Alsa to make this work? Do I need to check one of those things to "start at boot"? Using CMPlus kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] selectah:
How about a collabo between lean kernel Dev and skvalex?

A collaboration between IMO & Franco would be sweet. I have inquired with IMO about it before but at time no one knew exactly what kernel changed were required.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psychuil:
Hi guys, seems i'm late to the party :)

I've got CallRecorder_v.1.2.2_trial and for some reason it doesn't start recording anything and there's no record/control button during the call. Alsa has been installed.

No idea what to do :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
I think the trial period has past.

Have a look at the top of the preferences screen where it should display the expiration date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psychuil:
It ends in about a month for me.

And it started working all of a sudden.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
Have you installed Alsa?

What kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] churchmice:
After you have installed alsamixer, you should open that app and follow the instruction to do the actual installation.

Also, remember to reboot after you have setup everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drsnappyd:
enabling logger in kernel

can't seem to get outgoing calls to record...recording from the faux kernel...aokp....i'm using the trial version (expires june 1)

i read something about enabling logger in the kernel. is this the solution? how do i do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KallistiMan:
I just want to say thx to skvalex and avs333 for doing the work on this! I've got it working without a hitch using the alsa driver and the call recording app. No need to bother with kernel patches or anything :)

Thank you!

Yep been working great for the last month for me. Just waiting on him to add auto upload to google drive, gmail, dropbox etc......Once that's done this will b the best recording app.

what are your callrecorder preferences? kernel? standard API?

edit: update....I just got it to work fine, recording from ALSA driver. Unless I should do something else, this works for me. love the app.

Only reason this app wouldn't work is if your not rooted, didn't download ALSA in the app upon launching it, or have another recorder or weird equalizer affecting audio.

I have done bluetooth in car, speaker phone and regular phone to hear with great results. Waiting now only for my recorinf to auto upload to gmail or googledrive or Box.

AlsaMixer 1.0.6

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Do anyone have solution for AlsaMixer on Galaxy Nexus with 4.1(Jelly Bean)? Im install it from market but when I start it it ask me to install files and after install open menu but when I restart AlsaMixer it would like install it again. Also CallRecorder do not work...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
I don't know if there is a solution for Jelly.Bean yet but I hope there will be soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dallastx:
I too just found out its not working on Jelly Bean..... Sniff! This is my favorite most expensive app "Hint Hint Dev"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petrsiri:
Hi guys,

Any solution to the alsa mixer problem where it asks busybox to be installed while it is already installed? Stock Rom 4.04 and Franco Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] surveyganga:
You have to install Busy box using the tool kit for some reason it keeps prompting if you install thru market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
A market install worked fine for me. I used Busybox installer and installed busybox to /system/xbin, not /system/sbin or /system/bin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] surveyganga:
Good to know. I accepted the defaults when installing from the market and that might not be xbin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] petrsiri:
Thanks! That worked for me too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
I'm getting mixed results. I have a VZW gnex on liquid smooth 1.5. Busybox installed in the xbin path and alsa installed. CallRecorder 1.2.7 set to record via alsa. Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) Toro selected as the device.

Not sure why, but it's hit or miss with me. Sometimes it works great with both sides of the conversation able to be heard very loud and clear and then with nothing changed the next call's other side of the concersation can just barely be heard.

Anybody else experiencing this hit or miss success? Any suggestions? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Dejan_:
Any new info about support on 4.1???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sprkrt:
not a word from the developer?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
I can't speak for Jelly Bean (as I honestly don't use my android phone for more than call recording business calls) but if call recording is your primary concern, then here is what I did:

I'm assuming knowledge on how to root, and install ROMs. There are plenty of guides here for that for Windows, Linux, and even Mac.

1) root phone (obviously)

2) Install AOKP ROM (linked in my sig)

3) Install CMPlus kernel (linked in my sig)

4) go through initial setup, make sure phone is working, etc...

5) Install ALSA Mixer by Skvalex

6) Run ALSA, and allow it to have root access

7) Install Call Recorder full version by Skvalex (Note: I haven't tried the trial version, but Google Play gives you 15 minutes to uninstall with refund. That's plenty of time to test)

8) Configure Call Recorder to use ALSA. Also I recommend using WAV format.

9) Call 611 and listen to the prompts, whenever there is a moment of silence, say something. Then after about half a minute of "conversation" with the prompt, hang up. (I use 611 as I know a voice will appear on the other end that won't be bothered by my testing.)

10) Listen to the recording. If you hear the automated voice from 611 clearly, and your voice clearly, then try calling a friend to test further.

11) Enjoy

I don't visit this site that often, as I'm primarily an iPhone user. (Yes, flame away if you must) I only have a GNex for the call recording purpose (and to play with Google Wallet) so I don't really update my ROM, or Kernel ever. Once call recording is working, I'm happy, so I won't really be willing to diag problems, but what I did above works for me with crystal clear recordings.

Caveat: I am using the Google Play store GSM model of the GNex, but as far as I know, this should work on the Verizon model as well.

I hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sprkrt:
i was using the application with 4.0.4 and it was fine. Franco kernel & AOKP.

i'm now switched to JB, as most Nexus owners. So i'm expecting to see this app supporting JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Jelly Bean probably changed a lot of things in Android itself. I've had e-mail correspondence with Skvalex before (as a customer asking for help) and he seems like the kind of person who works hard on keeping his customers happy. I'm sure he knows the issue by now, since he does visit these forums (and I think has posted in this thread earlier on) and get support e-mails. He's probably busy working on it. In all fields of IT (I'm a network engineer/sysadmin) the more time you spend talking about the problem you are working on, the less time you are fixing it. I also ignore calls when I know they are about a wide spread problem I'm already balls deep into fixing. I'd venture a GUESS that this is what Skvalex is doing now: ignoring us to fix it faster. We should sit tight for a week or two, and then ask for an update on progress if we haven't heard anything yet. He is just one guy after all.

FYI: This response is meant to be read in a polite, and friendly tone of voice. I hope I do not come off in any other way. I too would like Call Recording working on JB, but as it is important to me I'm staying behind for now, and missing out on the fun.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sprkrt:
i'm also an engineer so i know what you're talking about.

i was just expecting a short answer like "yes guys, i know the problem and i'll let you know soon".

that's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fbiryujin:
Ah ok. Hopefully he will do that soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4u2nvinmtl:
Why wouldn't you ever need a call recorder? some times someone tells you something and then claims they didn't. its kinda like when you watch TV and someone miss understood what was said and a argument ensues. with a PVR you just replay what you saw and its clear who was in the wrong same kinda thing but for phone calls. It is also very important for contractors who say something or quote something and then charge you a different price... I for one have a problem getting anything in writing from my Landlord regarding problems I have but he spills his guts on the phone if only I had a call recorder I would have more than enough evidence for court. My old Motorola Star Tac had voice recording but who wants to use something so old... Most of the older phones had call recording options why get rid of it?!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Was there ever a solution to this problem?

My setup:

Phone - Galaxy Nexus (Toro)

Rom - CM9 Nightly

Kernel - CMPlus

Steps I took:

1. Installed busybox under xbin location.

2. Installed Alsamixer.

3. Installed Callrecorder by Skvalex set to record via Alsa.

The problem of the other party voice being super quite sometimes and other times being loud a clear has plagued me ever I've started using this app with the galaxy nexus (toro).

I've read through just about all the callrecording threads and have tried just about all the solutions that I see working for different people. Would love some help getting this to work. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I never had that problem even if I am using the same kernel, but the ROM is different. Black Ice which is AOKP based with some CM tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Hmmm... I'm going to do a clean install and ONLY install busybox, alsamixer and callrecorder. Hopefully I can pinpoint this down and find something that's interfering. BTW, are you running the latest AOKP (Milestone 6).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Yes, Black Ice 40.5 is based on AOKP M6, but I am using it for a while and never had any problem with this kernel-ROM combination.

What I have forgotten is to mention my GN is maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Ahh, I see. I've seen you post frequently regarding the Callrecorder app by Skvalex. Have you seen any Toro user successfully get this working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Ok, so I've done a clean install of AOKP M6 / GAPPS, then flashed CMPlus kernel. Then installed only the latest busybox, alsamixer and callrecorder 1.2.7 (no other apps installed and did all fresh installs, no backups restored) in hopes of trying to find an app/setting that might be interfering.

If the problem still exist, I'm going to chalk it up that Toro users might be out of luck when it comes to Callrecorder by Skvalex. Because the steps I've performed have all been confirmed working by GSM (Maguro) users. I've yet to see any CDMA (Toro/Toroplus) users confirm this app work without any hickups.

Will report back in time with my results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Do not forget to execute AlsaMixer app after installing it or after changing/reflashing the kernel.

Also regarding the CMPlus kernel settings, probably irrelevant, but since I am not sure will mention this, I always have high performance sound turned on in cmplus.conf and screen state = 0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Thanks for that suggestion, assuming you mean opening alsamixer, granting SU permissions and letting it install, I did exactly that.

:o :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
I edited my previous post adding some probably unuseful info to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Problem still exists. I guess us Toro users are just out of luck... Is the hardware the same other than the radios for the gnex variants?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] !crazy:
Have you contacted skvalex regarding the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giant22000:
Yes, it was suggested that that I raise the "delay before start recording" setting but that didn't yeild any better results either. I tried that and every increment in from no delay all the way up to 3 sec delay.

I think I might email him back and tell him all the troubleshooting steps I've taken at this point. I think that I've fairly well determined this is not a problem on my end but rather a bug. There has got to be something different in regard to Maguro vs Toro that is keeping this from working as it should.
