ICR for HTC BlueAngel (In Call Recording)

is it possible?

I've been reading some post on other HTC PPC phone threads here at xda-dev. And this particular thread at Raphael got my attention. They were able to make ICR (In Call Recording) work on their Raphael. Suddenly I remebered my old smartphones that can do this. And now I am wondering if we can make it work also on our BA's? I have tried the procedure indicated on that thread but I can't get it to work. Maybe because those cabs are for Raphael or it really is for Raphael. This feature is great if we can make it work on our BA and definitely I will contribute on this in anyway I can if someone will work on it for our BA. I tried all possible call recorders but you need to switch on the Loud Speaker during on call so it can record the other side but unfortunately the quality is not satisfying. I have read the whole thread a couple of times but no luck.

Here are the steps I followed on Raphael thread:

1. install this:

(it's from this post: [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3156069&postcount=91"]http://xdaforums.com/show...9&postcount=91[/URL] )

3. soft reset

4. make a call and start recording when calling from dialer's menu - it won't work now,but do it

5. uninstall the cab from step nr. 1

6. soft reset

7. install this

(it's from this post: [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3156859&postcount=10"]http://xdaforums.com/show...9&postcount=10[/URL] )

8. soft reset ..and it should work

Why install and then uninstall? Maybe this is redundant but it seems it makes some needed changes to registry - but you can try it without it, I will NOT hard-reset my Raphael to figure out:-)

Btw I had problems with Resco audio recorder, it didn't recognize end of the call and device crashed many times. Vito Audio notes touch works great.

EDIT:

step 0. for those who still can't see the record option in dialer: you can try one from here: [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3124498&postcount=76"]http://xdaforums.com/show...8&postcount=76[/URL]

I hope we can make it work on our BA's and I hope hardware won't be an issue.

Hey, while all the folks over at "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet " , i figured i shouldnt be alone in this!

fall in here if your X1 has brought u shame, disgrace or something negative !! no shame go to the thread above by my bro !

me,

1) chicks commented too heavy

2) my fading battery cover brought "eeeeeeeks"
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
you start to show it in front of your friend, and the X1 is starting to lag up/crash.

It happened to me once, and that was just embarrassing :p
[XPERIA X1 General] DeeChan:
Might want to try one of the cooked roms :)
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
Never brought me shame. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
no shame go to "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet "

here is for the shamers !! :P
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
LOL....not all the time though. It only happened to me once or twicem and that was when i showed it off. LOL....

My X1 is kinda shy :p
[XPERIA X1 General] x1Kofi:
It has brought me shame a few times.

First day out of the house with the phone, i dropped it, it simply slipped out of my hand, and battery case battery all flew off in different directions at the station, people must have thought i was trying to show off my X1 but then dropped it!

Second major thing that happened, a good friend of mine has an iPhone, and I regularly insulted him about the iPhone and how when I would get an Xperia, how much more useful customizable it is. So I got it out to show him the facebook panel, and it crashed completely! Just so embarrassed!

Last time it embarrassed me was when I called a company trying to recruit me, thinking it was a friend of mine, was very embarrassing trying to explain that I had called the wrong person!

But since I have been on this forum, the X1 has become a lot easier to use and run and more stable, a lot say that the weakest part of the X1 is the OS which is true, but it is so customizable, that it kind of compensates.

I just wish the phone was as smooth as the K750, W960 and W950 from the first day I recieved it!
[XPERIA X1 General] nickza:
No shame here... the fish panel is a popular and winning flaunt panel!
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
pls folks !!!! no shame go to my bro's thread "X1 is a bigger flaunt than iPhone 3g easily" are celebrating in their new found " chick magnet "

shame here only !!!!! hahaahahah
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
oh cmon.....we all have our fair bit of embarrassing moment with our X1 :p

It wouldn't hurt to share them all here....hahaha
[XPERIA X1 General] Cheeze[iT]:
I had once where I was calling a guy to talk to him about the phone, since he thought about purchasing mine... well the phone some how disconnected/dropped the call, so I had to reboot and tried to call him back and he didn't answer. >.< There goes that sell. Made him think twice about the phone I guess
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
LOL OMG

classic ~ ~
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
so have you sold your phone?
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
my worst:

after having the x1 for a few weeks i was showing it off to my dad,

i was showing him the pannels and opened media pannel,

i was flicking through my pictures he was impressed then a picc of my NAKED GF showed up! i tried as quick as i could to move on but it lagged and the pic was on for a good 5 seconds. He was impressed now lol

i had moved those type of pics out of my pitures folder but it still shows.

HOW EMBARRASING never showed off the media pannel again
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
haha...well iPhone is like James Bond...calm, composed but cant do it all...sucks in non-weapon combat and interrogation

whereas X1 is like Jack Bauer....is vulnerable but gets the work done and can kick Bond's ass anyday!

if my X1 crashes..it crashes hard....but when it works..it does so much more than any other phone....it is because it tries to do everything thrown at it.
[XPERIA X1 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Haha, some nice stories out here...

Well, mine was pretty simple:

In class I wanted to know how fast the keyboard slides out and how much energie it has. Well, of course it was very fast so I lost controll and it jumped out of my hands.. Embarassing...But fortunately I knew that it would be pretty fast and so it fell only on a table.

Anyway..
[XPERIA X1 General] Kid_DC:
hm...

i think my x1 likes self destructiion...

everytime it slips out of my handy on the floor (that happened 5-6 times now in front of someone) the battery jumps out and slide over the whole ground...

then my phone freezes in front of my friends... (and they laughed at my while i was putting out the battery then restart it)
[XPERIA X1 General] Dr.Sid:
I had very embarassing moments with Xperia when I realized it plays video slower then my 3 years old Palm. Now I'm ashamed to show it to anyone, what if they ask me about the video playback ? :confused:
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
I asked a lass if she wanted to poke my fish

what dose it do? she asked

Just poke it and it swims off sulking

my phone had crashed and the fish had frozen:(
[XPERIA X1 General] gerardcon:
It always freezes or lags when I let anybody play with it. Actually it does that to me too but I try to pretend like it never happens since I payed $660 for this piece of crap.
[XPERIA X1 General] Cheeze[iT]:
No not yet. Not really in a hurry as I await the arrival of the Touch Pro 2.

I hope I don't have any more stories. Its sad. :(
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
wat a time to lag hahahahahahahaha
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
I simply cannot believe that HTC is still using 3.2MP camera when they launching a new product like Touch Pro 2. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] Cheeze[iT]:
yeah, thats true but the camera doesn't bother me that much. As long as its not getting worse its ok. I like the larger screen, keyboard and hopefully a better speaker than the Xperia.
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
No way that I will be getting as the support service is still not as good as SE and it is thicker and heavier than X1.

The worst part is the stupid Touch Flo 3D which makes the phone lag like nobody business.
[XPERIA X1 General] Cheeze[iT]:
True true. To me I am weighing the big screen/better ringer speaker/speaker phone to against the current xperia. Someone make the xperia have a better speaker!

Oh one of the bad flaunts is not knowing how to change my weather tab to have my exact city and instead use a near by city... >.< even iphone users laugh at this lol.
[XPERIA X1 General] chongbh:
I used to own a HTC Diamond then I change to Touch Pro, I will never go back to HTC after changing to X1 as the speed in X1 is faster than HTC.

The size and weight is better than HTC despite the speaker in HTC is better, I am very annoyed by the speed caused by the Touch Flo 3D though it looks cool.

Their design still not as stylish as X1.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
lets head back to the main topic.... x1 flops !!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
my x1 hang again... i had to remove the battery cover, poke the reset.. in front of all my frds
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
XD

I almost had a similar incident. :o
[XPERIA X1 General] bknewtype:
same here

except it wasnt my gf, it was a friend, and my gf saw it, yep.. slapped in face hahahah
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
your gf saw your female frd's naked pic???
[XPERIA X1 General] theclueless:
no kick in the crotch??? lucky you (playing the nutcracker in the background)
[XPERIA X1 General] 0bJeKTioN:
hahaha i try to avoid these situations by just moving the pic in a different folder before showing it off lol...

i hope this doesnt happen to me sometime :)
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
why so many folks have naked pic with them lol
[XPERIA X1 General] kdspiv:
fwap fwap fwap on the go?:D

Poor taste but I couldn't resist......
[XPERIA X1 General] jcsxda:
What do you all have in common?

Sorry to barge in on your moaning circle :p

Funny thread actually -but so many mentions of lagging and hanging ...which I just don't have (at least not since removing TF3D and going back to stock ROM)

So I'm wondering how many of those who are suffering hangs and lags are on custom ROMs or have manila 3D/2D running?

I'm guessing its most of you, but I could be very wrong of course! I'm sure you'll let me know soon enough ;)

If my hunch is right though, then it might point to a solution ...or at least the cause (leaving each person to chose the right compromise for themselves)

What say you? Worth looking into or not?

Have to go now ... the tide of self-pity is coming back with a vengence :D
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
Well you deserved more than a slap in the face tbh.

:eek:
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
i am on stock! it hangs / lags !!
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
I was taking photos of some hot asian girls walking by, but I forgot to turn the volume to 0 and they heard the autofocus sound + the shutter sound, I couldn't move the phone or else the picture wouldn't be taken, FML. (Oh yeah, and they looked at me funny xD btw i'm asian too so it's ok =])
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
my x1 ran out of battery today and i dont have charger.. was trying to go ard looking for 1 and pple asked wat phone is this

-_-
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
:eek:

There are some right weirdos on this forum
[XPERIA X1 General] foxcheng:
the signal become very bad when I want to showoff opera :( but the tf3d and keyboard really attract lots of eye balls :D
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
seriously lots of folks around me dont recognize x1 lol
[XPERIA X1 General] FrezoreR:
personally I think it's quite lame picking up girls with a phone..

why not use something called personality instead.

I didn't buy my xperia for some girl to look at.. I did it for me to cuddle with :D

Not literary
[XPERIA X1 General] Nocturnal310:
phone is part of my sophisticated individualistic personality.
[XPERIA X1 General] dinan:
My X1 is pretty much trumped every time someone compares it to their iPhone. The X1 is so much laggier compared to it, and the iPhone's screen is so much brighter and more vibrant... they quickly lose interest in the X1 after they figure out it's a laggy WM that just looks cool on the outside =(
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
agreed wm is good for all the programs etc but y it lagggggggggggggggggggggs
[XPERIA X1 General] mehunlimited:
I haven't had many "flaunting" sessions with my phone because I don't really use it as a trophee like many other people or most iPhone owners..

However, a few times people have been dazzled by it when they wanted to see it. I'm kinda used to it though because my last phone was a bit flashy too, but not to the extent of the XPERIA.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
seriously the weight of x1 leaves much to be desired... :(
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
shame again.. was showing my friendsthe keyboard, the space bar missed a few times sigh
[XPERIA X1 General] colourblind:
the fkin phone just hanged up on me again

i cant stand this fked up phoneeeeeeee anymoreee

i feel like throwing it away

im never EVER gonna buy a fkin xperia or sony erics or windows mobile phone

ARGH so fked pissed

such a fked lousy phoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
Try flashing a custom rom.

It runs much faster.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
what exactly is a custom rom?
[XPERIA X1 General] ratchetnclank:
It is a custom image of windows mobile made by the other users, it can often contain great apps and more functionality that a regular rom from the manufacturer.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
sorry for noob question.. will it open up a window for potential malware in the rom?
[XPERIA X1 General] degast:
vouch for that!

btw; that the phone lags, just when you show it to friends is law of murphy :p
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
law of murphy?

funny thing happened this morning when i show my co-worker the x1, i had it for a few days only...

he took a quick look then hand it back to me cause we were all busy in the morning... by the afternoon he asks me again for the phone... but guess what?! i had to tell him, "ya, go ahead and LOOK at the phone", cause ... the xa had already ran out of battery -_-;;
[XPERIA X1 General] Killbillprime:
haha love this thread¬!

first time pulled my X1 out ;) to show it to a mate at work "hey check this out" (pushed the panel button to load the fishes) oh it froze right - sorry have to reset (damn cant get into the programmes or start button) of comes the back battery out came the stylus to rest the device! lol

once i got it all up and running and i went back in and showed him the fishes, hey look they respond to my finger!!!. After a moment he pulled out his Iphone and showed me his fish app! what can i say! not a very good day for me that was!!! lol

anyway iv had my fair share of crashes/freezes etc with custom roms and cooked ones including my own. But thats life and thats what I love about my device its sooooo ****ing unpredictable!!!! ;)

Hey if i wanted a device out of the box to work the first time and be content with what someone else allows me to run on my hardware and what software someone else has approved, I would have bought the satan phone!

I like my device becuse i can do so much with it, i can run software that I want, i can tweak and custom it untill the COWS come home!

and to top it of i get to spend time with you lovely people on this forum!!!

now wheres the link for the 6.5 rom that was flying around here! ;)

peace out!
[XPERIA X1 General] bodrob0:

I only have one thing to say - winding *****es. Seriously - what would you use instead? Nokoa N96? Talk about crappy battery life. LG? Samsung? iPhone? Motorola (Ha!)?

Comon. Get a life. In any case - thanks for helping SE since you probably shelled out about 700 USD on your phones in the first place. Suckers bothering on a dumbass thread like this.
[XPERIA X1 General] Killbillprime:
im really feeling the love here ;) ahhh does baby wanna huggy?

shamed.. someone wanted to look at my keyboard, triple Ms came out
[XPERIA X1 General] upthere77:
Hello,

Apologies if this has been asked before but I could not find it.

I'm a new Xperia user and I'm trying to remap the keys of the keyboard. Basicly I'm trying to remap two keys (for example the windows key and the @ key) to map to CTRL and ESC or vice versa. I have tried AE Button plus but it seems that there's no CTRL key na the list of available keys.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advace.

Have a look on X1BC or my X1ButtonMapper here in this forum.
[Touch HD General] OllyT:
Hi,

I've been trying to install gyrator and got this message so tested several other CABs and now seem to be getting this message on trying to install any CAB - really frustrating

Any ideas what might be causing this?

My Blackstone configuation is all pretty standard with original ROM etc

Any suggestions welcomed!
[Touch HD General] kieboy:
try reinstalling the cab again, it should say that it will remove previous installed version and will reinstall, BUT it wont proceed with the installation. Now after this, go back to the remove programs section and check if its still there.
[Touch HD General] n1ck75:
Wondering if you found the issue, as i have this happening over 4 or 5 different ROM's, ruled out that its a ROM issue, trying to narrow it down to a 3rd party app, unsucessful so far.

When trying to install ANY cab i get the 'unsucessful installation' error message - including cabs i've already installed. Flash my phone this morning, install apps i wanted to, went to install something else this evening, now getting this message.

I've got Sktools installed and i am able to install cabs via this.
[Touch HD General] bezibaerchen:
Got that problem too on Xperia X1, can't figure out either what the cause might be. Anyone any ideas?
[Touch HD General] n1ck75:
Found my cause - it was installing Twikini
[Touch HD General] fone_fanatic:
so you can't install apps after installing twikini?

I'm getting the "uninstall unsuccessfu" for almost anything i try to install and do have twikini installed (but i can't remember if it was the last app i've installed).

Also i can't open attachments in my emails, can't download files from PIE and when i go to remove programs (start-settings-system-remove programs) the list is empty...

DId you have to hard reset or did u find away around this?

btw, i'm having these issues on my kaiser.
[Touch HD General] bezibaerchen:
Finally I found what my problem was, even if I can't understand, why this is a problem.

From time to time, e.g. when I got no USB cable around, I used to send the .cab vie E-Mail to have them on my device. Well, and as a matter of fact, exactly those are the ones, where installation fails.

Copying exactly the same file via USB to storage card ends in everything working fine....
[Touch HD General] fone_fanatic:
So i flashed a new rom and installed twikini first, everything was ok for a couple of days. But all of a sudden this problem is back.

I know its not the .cab files because they're the same cabs i'm trying to install that i install on almost every rom after i flash them.

I'm thinking its yahoo go.
[Touch HD General] bongdelong:
hey..

i use the xperia x1 for about 2-3 months... but its too bulky for me and i dont use the hardware keybord :confused:

now im looking for the touch hd... does anyone know a good website to buy or can give me some support. mabye you know a good shop or something :-\ (me located in ger)

would be very nice ;)
[Touch HD General] dataSaMm:
You can try http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/1464/htc-touch-hd

The HTC Touch HD is a beautiful device, I don't need the hardware keyboard and I type perfectly on it :)

can xda IIi be upgraded to win 6.5 or 6.1 at least? i have himalaya and im planning to upgrade to alpine.. thanks.. regards
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] deedee:
The Alpine cannot and will not be able to run any version of WM except 2003. Despite the Himalaya and Alpine sharing the same physical case the internal hardware has nothing in common.

This issue has been covered in countless threads in this forum.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] GeorgeA:
hi,

over the pass maybe say 2yrs,

with interest i have keeped a lookout for a rom upgarde for my old XDA 11i and also i've read heaps of request to upgrade the Apline to WWE 5, 6.1 and so on, and have had many laughts and all your replys.

i had to add this comment, people will just not take "" no it can't be upgraded "".

thanks for the laughts...................................
[HTC Excalibur] oilspot:
First time I tried flashing I got a error 270. And that was after running the SDA app unlock. So then I tried using the USPL error 270 fix. The problem I'm having Is right when it says "the screen should turn almost black". The screen turns white. At that point active sync doesn't recongnize the phone anymore, and the phone is stuck unresponsive, with a white screen.

So heres a few questions to make sure I'm doing this right.

When I run the sda unlock. Should the phone respond in any way? When I press the ok button I get a instant verification that the phone is unlocked. The phones screen doesn't light up or anything of the sorts. It almost seems like nothing happened.

When you say reboot (yeah this is a dumb question!) I'm just turning the phone off, and then turning it back on again. Is the correct way to do it?

It is a brand new excalibur I'm working with. The one with the all black face. I just figured I should throw that in there in case there was any little difference that would be causing me problems.

I can't wait to get this phone flashed! Looking at all the tweaks and tricks and not being able to try them out is killing me!
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
Yes rebooting is when your phone turns off and back on. Soft reset is when you power the phone off and power it back on.

Did you follow these instructions to T?http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=415225
[HTC Excalibur] oilspot:
ran both, failed at 0% this time. Left the phone stuck with the tri colored screen. But, in that thread, it says I may have to try it a few times. I'll give it another shot and see what happens.

really wish rebooting the phone was quicker!

tried again. phone locked up and didn't want to connect with active sync.

overall I've tried several times. Is it normal to have this many problems? I'm starting to get frustrated!

Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate all the info and help I'm getting with this. The frustration is just not being able to make it work.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
No it normally doesn't give you that many problems, except if you made a mistake flashing. I flashed three times within my first week before I found the rom I liked, and never had a single problem. See what I did was print all the instructions on flashing and had them on my lap while I was flashing and double checking every step before going to the next. Is very important that you follow the steps to a T so nothing like this happens. If you can get the bootloader screen , I would suggest to reinstall the official 6.0 rom, get the phone back to factory, and then try again to flash to 6.1.

Do you know the bootloader procedure?
