I posted this in the Rhodium section as well, sorry for my crosspost but I figured perhaps I would get a quicker reply overhere...

I have a Rhodium with Dutch stock rom, and installed ARC.

In the root of my SD I put an empty folder named Opnames (Dutch for recordings)

At first I set the path to \Storage Card\Opnames\ but then it prompted with a message cannot find path... ah right... so I changed the path to \Opslagkaart\Opnames\ (Thats how the SD is called in Dutch). But now when I enable ACR I get this DirectoryNotFoundException.... but I even get this when I set the path to \

Any ideas?

Can you make a file for outlook 2003? Acr runs fine on my touch hd dutch rom.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kk0813:
Hi,

ACR is working great on my Fuze with EnergyROM. I have few suggestions to make,

1) It would be nice to select the location where to store instead of typing.

2) Export the settings, so that it can be used after each hard reset including enabled by default. using UC we can copy the "Auto Call Recorder.lnk" to windows\StartUp folder so that it can start after reset. Where exactly the settings are stored, to take a backup?

3) Apptodate support, to check for new version availability.

Thanks for the great app. Working really well.

works fine on my SE X1, german ROM!

Great work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bernyk:
this is excellent! i've been wanting to try this out, i have a Moto Q9h ill let you know if it works out for me.

unfortunately no dice on the Q =( im going to give the "2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording" program that i read about earlier a shot

the error i got was "message text unavailable. resource file "microsoft.visualbasic resources' not found.

First of all - i love you. I was exactly looking for this, as it is really handy for my work.

One suggestion. Do you think it would be possible to make the recording or not recording dependend to the category which is assigned to the contacts?

Like this, i could just record work related calls or unkown calls, but not my girlfriend for example.

Thx, nearly

Some issues

Hi Slothie,

After testing with a few calls today, here are some of the issues I've experienced:

1. ACR seemed to die during the day today. I did soft-reset at one point, maybe it didn't start up again. Some soft of mechanism to ensure it is always running so that if it dies it restarts automatically?

2. Whilst the audio levels on some calls are acceptable, usually the other side is a lot softer then I am. Sometimes it's not possible to hear what the other side is saying but you can hear them faintly in the background. Would it be possible to set this in the settings as some phones obviously differ from others?

3. Making a call from my bluetooth car-kit (Parrot CK-3100 IIRC) resulted in the call being recorded but being classified as In instead of Out. The call register on the phone is correct but ACR got confused. I must point out here that the car kit is one with an LCD so the call is initiated from the car kit and not from the phone itself. I hope this makes sense.

Anyway, thanks again!

Dale
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] D@vide:
Absolutely agree :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] D@vide:
...after some test, same here, I must check if ACR is enabled or not after a while, pheraps is related to an autoclean ram utility... I'll report after more specific test. ;)

Works on HTC Touch 3G, German Rom, latest official version.

Placed "Speicherkarte\Call Recordings\"

The folder "Call Recordings" was created in advance.

This works so good - and is so illegal in my country! :D :D :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Zeke_NL:
Yes, i gave it a try and after the first time of running the application the Phone came with the

message that I must to install the latest version MS .NET CF3.5. After installing this, the installation

of ACR went normal. The icon is present and after starting the application it came with the following error message:

Fault:

Unacspacted error in ACROptions.exe occurs ( freely translated from Dutch to English)

Message text unavailable. Resource file 'Microsoft.VisualBasic resource's not found'.

ACROptions.exe InvalidOperationException Messag text unavailable. Resource file

I desperately hope that this application could work on the WM 6.1 standard devices, it will bring

me back to the WM powered devices. No I am forced to use Symbian S60 devices like the E71

from Nokia because these are, as far as I know, the only phones with a good working application like ACR available for there OS.

Regards,

Zeke

P.s. The Phone is not WWE

i have tmobile shadow and it told me that "applications requires a newer version of the microsoft. net compact framework than the version installed on this device." what can i do?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chef_Tony:
just wanted to let you know, v1.0 works great on my blueangel, specs below :) i love it. btw looked up the legal situation, it is not illegal in germany, you just have to inform the person, you are talking to. like they always say when you call a hotline: "it might occur that randomly chosen calls are recorded for training purposes. if you don't wish to be recorded, please let us know at the beginning of the dialogue". plus, as long as you don't use the recordings for blackmail or to stand up as evidence in court, it probably wouldn't be a problem in all of europe. just to correct a former poster.

but back to the topic, it is a great app, i can really use that. it happens a lot that after i hung up, i already forgot half the stuff i was talking about ;)

i will definetly follw this thread.

i found the cab netcfv35.messages.en.wm.cab and it works great on the omnia ....thankyou:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kk0813:
I have seen that when I click it "Enable Recording" it's creating shot cut, and when I delete it, the shotcut in \Windows\StartUp is deleted. (And it's working perfectly).

What I was saying is, I will have a backup of this shotcut on my storage card along with other registry settings, Later when I do a hard reset or flash a new/updated ROM, using UC, after installing the cab, I will copy that shotcut to \Windows\StartUp folder, and will update the registry, so that after the reset, it starts automatically. But I was not sure where I can find the settings. Now I know it's in HKLM\Software\Inta. I hope I am clear this time.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Sorry I've got one of those brains that hears 'hard-reset' but thinks 'soft-reset'. Its a curse.

Copy app files to folder

Copy shortcut to windows\startup

Copy Inta registry settings to registry

Copy registry setting from cab to registry (open the cab and look in _setup.xml file to find these)

Start ACRBase.exe

Thats it. :)

Error with Vogue

I've got a Sprint Touch (aka Vogue) with a stock WM 6.1 ROM. I've updated .NET CF to the current 3.5, and I've also added the GSM 6.10 codec. I've set up the program to record to "\Storage Card\Recorded Calls\" with GSM6.10/16Bit/48000Hz

When I make a call to my voicemail an error is thrown in ACRBase a few seconds into the call and the error reads: "StartRecording Bad MMResult: 200"

After this error, your app closes because it will not attempt to record again untill I "Enable Recording" again.

What do you think could be the cause of this error?

In addition:

When the file "LastCall" is open in an audio program (ie Media Player), ACRBase is throwing an error since it can't overwrite the file that's in use.

Error: "StartRecording The process can not access the file '\Storage Card\Recorded Calls\LastCall.wav because it is being used by another process.'"

P.S. Just tried a soft reset to see if that would help the original error, but still no dice. The error is slightly different in ACRBase, it reads: "StartRecording General multimedia error"

This is a very nice start. If I had time to do stuff like this, I would love it. I love seeing new apps like this get started. Thanks for everything so far!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
So it only errors when calling your voicemail? Or any call?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acontrasto:
Tested another number and I'm still getting the "StartRecording Bad MMResult: 200" error
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Hmmm You might want to remove the GSM6.10 codec. Also try using PCM to see if it works. That will help getting to the bottom of the problem.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acontrasto:
After uninstalling the codec, soft-reset, and changing setting to PCM the error remains, but it only reads "StartRecording General multimedia error"

Is it possible that the Vogue is not capable of recording calls? I know it has been brought up before because even the mainstream app Vito Audio Notes can not record calls on the Vogue (sprint touch).

I know it can be difficult to debug without having the hardware yourself, but if you think of anything else, let me know. I'm going to sleep for the night. I appreciate your help, thanks!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hochgattererjohann:
The program works perfekt for me.

First:

Only when I want to play the files on the desktop PC with WinMediaPlayer the sound is very silent - I can hear nothing. On the phone I understand what is recordes. Is there any possibility to increase to be louder on PC or do you have an app that works well on pc.

Second:

The Program to inpunt in Outlook report, that he do not find any files.

Thank you for information.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] deep_purple:
Hi Slothie,

1. ACR is starting automatically after a soft-reset. However it does die from time to time without cause or reason. It's is still running (checked with Task Manager) since my battery died last night so about 10 hours so far. I think it may be throwing a silent exception at times or some memory manager is killing it. My best suggestion here would be to create a log file with errors so that if ACRBase does die after a call or whatever that we have some reference to debug the problem.

2. I'll try the 2way recording cab. Can you provide a link?

3. I'll be your Bluetooth car-kit tester with pleasure. I noticed last night that the In/Out naming problem isn't only on bluetooth, it seems to occur from time to time for no apparent reason. Perhaps it's worth re-looking this code to see if there could be a better way of determining In/Out calls?

Thanks again!

Dale
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
I was pretty lazy with the in and out. I'll go over it again sometime. There are two events from the phone IncomingCall (fires on Incoming call) and TalkingCall. (Fires on start and end of a call)

I have a var called CallDirection which starts out as "out". In the incomingcall event I change it to "In" and when the call is finished I change it to out again. Not sure how I stuffed it up yet?

Edit Found it. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing it out. I don't make outgoing calls much as I'm a stingy bastard. :)

I don't know if you're programming in C# or VB.Net but nevertheless here is a link to a great article and with some source-code for an Open File Dialog which permit you to select any folder and not only limited to My Documents/Root of Storage. I am in the course of implementing the same in a project of mine and so far the code works really well.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dmode90:
Many thanks for the excellent software.

I confirm about "in/out" problem, almost all calls are marked as "in".

May be in my case it occurs because of use "call back". During an entering call I press "ignore" and at once I call back after that.

Categories

Ok. So, let´s say i have categorised all my girlfriends and want to record their calls, but not the buisness ones.

Do you think that´s possible to implement?

Thx,

nearly
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] [germany]merlot:
There is no default method in the compact framework to get the category of a contact. Slothie would have to write his own class for this and at the moment I don't know where to start with. It's quiet tricky.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Heres what I'm thinking so far, at the start of the application I loop through the contacts with a 'for each' and anything that passes InStr(Contact.Categories, "Girlfriends") gets added to an array or a long string seperated with something like |. Then its just instr(long_string,contact_name) or loop though the array?

merlot's right about the contacts objects though, you have to loop though them as far as I know.

So anyway since I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have any mates with smartphones would anyone be up for testing the next version? It should be ready in a couple of days hopefully. What if I said pretty please? :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] deep_purple:
I'll test with pleasure. Recordings for me are only "cool" so I don't care if it doesn't work 100%.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] [germany]merlot:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] acontrasto:
+1 for a log file... it would greatly help for debugging purposes. When there's an exception, have it write to the logfile so I can send it to you.

You might make use of some try/catches. Create your own LogFile Class that you pass the exception string to if you catch an exception. If you're using VB then post #3 here is a perfect example.

EDIT:

If you're using OpenNetCF library then there's already an EventLog class in the OpenNETCF.Diagnostics namespace... but IMO OpenNETCF is a little bloated. It might be better to create your own class.

Looks great, but it seems that only my voice can be heard in output audio file, or the buddy on phone is hidden in noise. Using Touch Pro WM6.1 WWE ROM. Any advice?

Hi mate, first of all big thanks for your personal reply.

I tried the hack you described but unfortunately it didn't work yet.

I set the correct path in the registry.

But when I execute ACRBase.exe I can see the animated WM loading icon but when it dissapears there is no task running.

When I open ACROptions I can see the correct path loaded and the button says disable as if the process is indeed running. When I disable and try to enable again I get this msg :eek:

I hope it helps you to find out what's wrong and how to fix, as I really like this app and would love to see it working on my TP2. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Thanks Pimmr, that’s very well documented. Could I ask a few questions? First this is on a dutch rom? Could you please supply the path to the windows startup directory on your device. It’s \Windows\Startup on my device. When you checked to see it running when you did the hack did you look under processes in task manager? ACR hides itself so it doesn’t get in the way so you can’t see it in task manager unless you choose to show processes. And lastly you are using version 1.1?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
@acontrasto Thanks for the advice, unfortunately you cannot use try/catch inside an on error block. But their really the same thing anyway. I’ll have a look at the opennetcf.diagnostics though. I’m already using OpenNETCF anyway so it wouldn’t hurt.

@reseth Mate there is a 2 way recording cab floating around XDA somewhere that might help. I must put a link to it in the first post when I find it.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] monolithHD:
In my Touch HD is nearly the same. Sometimes the sound of other party is good. But sometimes it is very noisy and rough.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pimmr:
Yes I have a Dutch rom, but the path is not the same! The path on the Dutch rom is \Windows\Opstarten. Could this be the problem?

The path for storage card files on a Dutch rom is \Opslagkaart\....

I didn't realise it was a hidden process so perhaps it does load the process, but it seems it doesn't record to the path provided.

Hope this helps...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
@monolithHD Try the 2 way recording cab. I have a HD and don’t have any problems?

@Pimmr Mate I updated the application from version 1.0 to version 1.1. I think you should try and download the application again from the first post and see if that helps. I originally wrote the app on an English ROM completely oblivious to the fact that half the people here aren’t English. See how the new version goes, it has solved that problem for the French, Italian and German ROM’s so it should work for you too.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Pimmr:
Hey Slothie, I feel sooooo stupid mate....:o I knew you made an international version and was 100% positive I installed it but now I double checked the file sizes and apparantly I had the v1.0 version running.... sorry to have bothered you mate all is well now.... now let's start recording :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] arcanehacker:
I get different results everyday..

First time, it records but didn't save with the caller name (thought caller ID did pickup a name on from my contact list). It also gives an error about .NET CF which I have already install 3.5 way back.

Second time, it saved 2 same audio file with 2 different file names. One was file name saved with caller name, the other just some generic name. Both files same recording.

Today didn't work. I believe it hung.. even after soft resets, it still hangs.. why I said it hung? Because on calls, once my screen goes blank, when I put the phone to my ears, the screen doesn't show up even after I put the phone away from my face or end the call. I have to restart my TP2. When try again, same thing. And also no recordings saved at all. When I uninstall, my proximity autodetect screen worked again as normal.

Its a good app when working.. just have to work out those inconsistent issue..

Fast sleep

First of all, Many thanks for the application, which is truly great!

It works perfectly when the phone is charging, which prevents phone to go into fast sleep. But as soon as phone went to fast sleep, it only records noise.

My phone is Kaiser on on a W6.5 rom.

Looking forward to the next release, and can this be fixed?
