Just tell the dev "when I connect my phone with a bluetooth headset, no matter what recorder I'm using, in recorded calls the caller's voice is good but my voice is too high", and ask him to tune it.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
Ok, I'll give that a shot but most ROM devs don't seem to use (nor care about) BT much, unfortunately.
[Android Apps and Games] KBeckett:
On the Note 8, can this app auto record calls done on bluetooth even without root?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
A user said bluetooth works well without root. Galaxy Note8 has many variants, he didn't say what's the variant of his phone.
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Yes, I've had it working for me on my unrooted Note 8 (Canadian, SD835 variant) and I use a bluetooth headset. It's actually the only reason why I started using Boldbeast a few years ago - it was one of the only apps to record bluetooth audio.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Thanks for sharing the information, and glad to know bluetooth recording works well without root in Galaxy Note8 variants that have the Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset inside.

I checked the Huawei Mate 10 Android 8.0 log files, I found nothing special.

In theory it works with default settings in Boldbeast Recorder, but a user said "not work", we need more feedbacks.

Design

I like your app but I do not like your design.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
We think the app as a tool should be tiny, green, stable and, most importantly, powerful enough to make more phones recording calls well. We spent much time on these.

Relatively we spent not so much time on the user interface.

[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Thank you for your log files. I have checked them.

Please

- install Boldbeast Recorder V7.2, enable the "Tune Special" option, try to use Record Mode 4, 2, 1, 5 to record.

- if it doesn't work, please install this new test version View attachment boldbeast_recorder_V72u_HtcOneM8.apk, enable the "Tune Special" option, try to use Record Mode 4, 2, 1, 5 to record.

- if it still doesn't work, I believe no recorder work well without root. In this case please root your HTC One M8 Android 5.0, enable the "Change Audio Controls" option in Boldbeast Recorder to fix the problem.

===============

Boldbeast Recorder V7.4 is released, please install V7.4, it supports HTC One M8 Android 5.0, HTC M8x Android 5.0 etc, no root needed.
[Android Apps and Games] gorilla p:
I'm using the Nexus4 and for the most part, this is working really well.

However, sometimes I get a notification stating that the proper settings couldn't be applied and that I should give BoldBeast root access.

BoldBeast has been given root access and I even set my SuperSU default to allow root access for all apps.

Is there anything I can do to help you figure out why its not getting root sometimes?

"I like my Nexus 4 and my Unicorns Dirty."
[Android Apps and Games] gorilla p:
Thanks for your help.

I'm having some trouble attaching files.

I uploaded it to bit.ly/makostuff (in personal logs folder).

"I like my Nexus 4 and my Unicorns Dirty."
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
In your log file "hardware_lg.j14", I saw following lines:

01-03 11:48:40.889 E/libprocessgroup(13552): failed to make and chown /acct/uid_10071: Read-only file system

01-03 11:48:40.889 W/Zygote (13552): createProcessGroup failed, kernel missing CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT?

It seems this is related to SuperSU.

If needed please update SuperSU to the latest version and test again.
[Android Apps and Games] gorilla p:
It is in the latest version (2.43 beta).

I've tried a few different things to get it to work. I removed the saved setting to reprompt for root access and it didn't work, despite SuperSU reporting that it granted root access.

I also tried setting SuperSU to grant root to all apps and that didn't work either.

I can try maybe going back to 2.40 and see if that fixes it.

[Android Apps and Games] Oatswesow:
Hi! I'm using this app on my Note 8 (SM-N950U1 - unrooted) and found that the first few seconds of a call are note being recorded. My tests have been run on incoming calls and outgoing calls. The record button shows that the calls are being recorded. Any help? Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
For incoming calls, by default the app starts recording 3 seconds after ringing, later when it detects the "call is answered" state it will abandon the recording and restart recording, this way it avoids saving the ring tone in the recording. However if you want to save ring tone in recordings please change "Call Settings - Incoming Calls" options to change the behaviour.

For outgoing calls, by default the app starts recording 3 seconds after dialing, and it can NOT detect the "call is answered" state because of Android limitations, so the ring tone is saved in the recording. However if you root the phone the app can detect the "call is answered" state. You can also change "Call Settings - Outgoing Calls" options in the app if needed.

In one word - You can tune the time when to start recording yourself.
[Android Apps and Games] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
Hey, there is "issue". The loudness of my voice is way lower than the voice of second guy who I talk to.

Is there way to boost or gain microphone value? I tried several settings but without success I want to achieve.

S7 Edge
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
That's funny because I have the opposite issue. My voice is MUCH louder than the voice of the other caller.

Device: OnePlus 5

Android Version: 7.1.1

Firmware: Oxygen OS 4.5.15
[Android Apps and Games] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
That's weird ^^

I made a test and opened system's voice recorder. I recorded own voice and it was much louder than in recordings made by the boldbeast call recorder.

Also it seems that the second guy hears me well, otherwise he would say smth to me about that if he heard me in the same level as I hear my voice in the recording of the callrecorder.
[Android Apps and Games] sjamie:
It sounds like we may have to combine our phones together to create the perfect solution. :laugh:

What is the configuration of calls in Galaxy s4 i9505 ROM Resurrection Remix Android 7.1.2 - Selinux Mandatory?

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Some phones disabled recorders to record the caller's voice, Boldbeast Recorder can bypass the limit without root so in recordings both your voice and the caller's voice are loud and clear. But it can't increase/decrease your voice or the caller's voice separately, indeed all recorders in the market can't achieve it because Android doesn't have related API to do so.
[Android Apps and Games] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I have the root and S7 seems to "unlocked" recording feature.

However own voice seems to be half-downed compared to the same voice recorded by system voice recorder (an app to make notes, recordings for studies ect). They both use the same microphone.

Is there way then to artificially increase own voice within app settings? It would be done real-time by the app, recorded & saved normally.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Yes, both use the same microphone, but the microphone works in different profiles. Usually a phone has more than a hundred audio profiles, for example "in-call + earpiece + main microphone", "in-call + speaker + main microphone", "not in-call + secondary microphone" etc, the ROM defined microphone gains for every profile, they are different from each other.

Many phones use a file named "/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml" to define audio profiles, after root the phone the user can change parameters in the file if needed, for example to tune the voice volume and microphone gain. However it's hard to find what parameters to be changed, because there are many parameters inside, for example Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930T has more than 1650 parameters.
[Android Apps and Games] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
That's a lot to choose from. In the app itself I've seen maybe 23, but how can I say they differ between themselves? I do not know difference between "mode 12" and "mode 15".

Is there a way to try to find good loud mode instead of checking every option out?

Also what has higher hierarchy is terms of record compatibility?

It is like this? In the menu of the app:

>>Record mode

-----Fix_recording_issues

-----------Tune_Audio_Effect

-----------Tune_Auto_Group

--------------------1

--------------------2

And so on.

I presume that menu called "Fix Recording Issues" could also bump voice up if correct setting is found.

We have 23 recording modes, multiple them with "Fix Audio Issues" (6) x "Tune Audio Group" x 3 = ~ 500 possibilities, and they are often "checkboxed" which means can be multiple selected. That gives roundly few thousands of possibilities.

That's too many. Is there a quicker method to check what works instead of pairing every option with every other one?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
For most phones in the market the app works at once after installation, no need to change any settings. Click "Set Default Settings" in the app if needed.

[MENTION=6106307]boldbeast[/MENTION]

Boldbeast v11.2 GP on Nexus 6P.

Oreo 8.1.xx, rooted with latest Magisk.

My settings:

Whenever I make a call and press the record button, it won't let me hang up, and if I press the record button again, it appears to go into "un-record" status for a few seconds, and then it presses itself again. There's nothing I can do to end the call at this point, other than hard reboot the phone.

When I press the "hang up" button on the dialer, it tells me it is "hanging up", but nothing actually happens and the call continues. After rebooting, the call doesn't seem to have been saved either.

What do I do?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
You are using a wrong Alsa Device to record calls.

In Boldbeast Recorder please change "Call Settings > Alsa Device" to Device0, then the system and the recorder will work smoothly again.
[Android Apps and Games] crylentino:
Finally got around to trying this out.

Doesn't work. It still won't hang up after having pressed the button. Only way to end the call is to reboot -- and even after the call receiver has hung up.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Can you please click "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" in Boldbeast Recorder to send log files to me? Let us have a look at them and see what happened in your phone. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] crylentino:
Appreciate you trying to help, thank you.

Which log file specifically do you need?

Also, could you update your forum thread on settings for Oreo 8.1.x for Nexus 6P? Apart from the Alsa Device, are my settings correct?

I just tried clean flashing an updated Oreo ROM for July (The ABC Rom) as well as tried the Google Phone dialer instead of the AOSP, and the same thing happens.

When pressing the record button, it won't let me hang up, even if the call has ended. It just hangs, and the only fix is to hard reboot.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Which log file specifically do you need?

=> Please click "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Ask New Parameters" in Boldbeast Recorder - That's it.

Also, could you update your forum thread on settings for Oreo 8.1.x for Nexus 6P? Apart from the Alsa Device, are my settings correct?

=> By default Alsa Device is set to "Auto", Boldbeast Recorder will automatically detect which alsa device to use and it works well. However in some third-party ROMs the "Auto" option may not work, in this case please set Alsa Device to "Device0" directly then it works at once.

[Android Apps and Games] Lodberg:
I can't hear "the other end" on recordings running default settings on my OP6 (stock Pie). Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
So all recorders in the market no longer work after OnePlus 6 upgrading to Android 9.

You should root the phone, then Boldbeast Recorder can fix it perfectly. After root the phone please enable the "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Change Audio Controls" option in the recorder, you'll get crystal clear recordings in both sides. The option is visible only after you root the phone.

Without root there is no solution in the whole world undoubtedly.
[Android Apps and Games] waylo:
This makes me sad, as Boldbeast has been fantastic on many of my phones going back many, many years. Too bad Google prohibited recording (without root) in Pie. Maybe I'll keep my phone on Oreo for a long time!
[Android Apps and Games] Igr1:
Each new Android version is worth then previous. No sense to upgrade.
[Android Apps and Games] Dany XP:
Add me to the list.

Xperia XZ1 Compact, just upgraded to Android Pie and obviously unable to record. I've been using Boldbeast for years, that's too bad... Well, I guess I will have to wait for my warranty to expire and finally root my Xperia... ?
[Android Apps and Games] Gleniu:
Hi, I'm currently testing your app on Android 9, using root. Redmi Note 4, AOSP Extended 6.2 custom ROM. Basically, the recording works, but only the other party voice is clear - my voice has a lot of echo, to the state I can barely understand myself on recordings. I tried every single recording method, including root ones and Alsa.

Any chance you could take a look on this one? I'd like to buy the app to have auto record function, but for its price (which is quite high) I expect a perfect quality.

I can assist you with logs, sample recordings etc.

Another thing - I think that the app doesn't record (any party, me or the person I'm talking to) if one mutes microphone and then unmutes it. After unmuting, the voice is not recorded. Any fix to that?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
Please use these settings to record calls:

- Record Mode: Alsa

- Alsa Device: Auto

- Alsa Bits: 16 Bits

- Alsa Channels: Auto

- Alsa Sampling Rate: Auto

- Fix Recording Issues - Change Audio Controls:

Obviously the ROM has a bug inside - when you click the mute/unmute button the ROM wrongly route the audio. Some other phones have the same problem also, enabling the option "Call Settings - Fix Recording Issues - Change Audio Controls" in Boldbeast can fix it at once.
[Android Apps and Games] Gleniu:
Thank you very much for the answer - I'm sorry I didn't write back earlier, but I was away during weekend.

Unfortunately, alsa mode doesn't work - I get "record failed, please change alsa device" notification. None of the alsa devices work, I tried them all.

Ticking "change audio controls" doesn't help with muting/unmuting, unfortunately :(

I will send you a short recording and the log file using method 1, so you can hear the echo in my voice.

Thank you anyway :)

EDIT: Muting and unmuting works great when using method 1, so now my only problem is that echo. I've just sent you a log with a sample recording to service@boldbeast.com.
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:
I checked your log files.

You are using Alsa Device1 to record calls, this is the reason why it failed. Please change the option "Alsa Device" to Device0 and test again.

App permission - Display over other apps

Hi [MENTION=6106307]boldbeast[/MENTION] - I am on Oneplus 5 running Oxygen OS Pie ROM rooted with Magisk and using Google Dialer (Phone app). The test recordings are working well but I am not keen for 'Display over other apps' permission - can I use this app without this permission (I accept that the manual record button will not be available during a call). Also: do you offer any discount for XDA members or just any other sale on play store coming up? {sorry for asking this - I have only about £4.26 in play store balance and I am not allowed to spend any amount on my phone/softwares). Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] boldbeast:

Do you offer any discount for XDA members or just any other sale on play store coming up?

I spoke too soon. Couple days after the post Boldbeast stopped recording guest side. I didn't notice this till a couple days ago. So spent a couple hours trying various setting and test calls and I got it narrowed down to Mode1 and that's it. However I hear popping abd static sounds on guest side and I hear myself echoing.

I am seeking guidance. There are so many settings in Boldbeast It's just too overwhelming for me. I have a Razor Phone 2 with Magisk installed.
