Hi Slothie:

I do have better ideas that for ACR to can indicate whether a recording is occurring without need for a pop up:

Suggestion 1) Is it possible for you to use the space in the navigation bar of wm6 (aka title bar) where the names of programs appear to write in plane white text "Recording" or "Recording Conversation" anytime a call is being recorded either for the duration of the call or for a few seconds?

Suggestion 2) Or can you make a "Recording" icon appear superimposed over the program-name area that appears in the navigation bar? The idea for superimposing an icon has already been done with the Ariel Battery v2.1 program to place a better battery icon in the navigation bar. I invite you to visit the link. Ariel Battery v2.1's icon is highly customizable in its appearance and can be placed as a superimposed icon ANYWHERE on the navigation bar of wm6.

I think having a icon appear in the navigation bar of wm6 to indicate the status of the conversation's recoding each time the recording is taking place is more appropriate and more informative to the user. It is also an elegant way of notifying the user about the conversation's recording status whereas a pop up message appear at start ups is somewhat annoying because I want fast startups and anything you put on the startup will slow the device on startup. So please try to avoid startup, and I hope you find my ideas as better alternatives.

I understand that some people want this program for inappropriate use, but my methods can eliminate their desire for using this program to spy on others without loss of utility or elegance for legitimate use.

Because of RAM limitations on devices, I would prefer my first suggestion of letting plain white text of "Recording" appear in the program-name area of the navigation bar for the duration of the conversation or for a few seconds depending on user preference.

How about these ideas:

1) Can you program ACR to let the user choose more than one Lastcall.wav file, which ACR names as Lastcall1.wav, Lastcall2.wav,......, and let ACR record over the oldest one in the limit that the user specifies? And make an option in ACR that allows the user to save the desired recording file (Lastcall1.wav, Lastcall2.wav, etc.) under a different file name that will have date and time as the name of the file before it is overwritten by a new recording?

2) Is it possible for you to create an ACR icon superimposed on the program-name area of the navigation bar that a user can click on to turn on or off recording of a call during a call?

I prefer the first method because it will require less RAM.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
the first idea is not that bad... even if after slothie told the story about the freaky requests, I do not mind anymore to press a button after each boot :D

And what you're asking for is called looping record, much like pimbackup does, for example, for pim databases, cycling and deleting the oldest one after you reach a certain number of backups.

Is that really necessary? Having different record files everytime lets you go to the recording folder after an inmportant call has been received, and copy that file over to another folder for keeping it safe, and rather wipe periodically the whole folder, since you're sure the files you needed have been kept

Sorry for Stupid question i have a touch hd so which version i have to install ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] imranfransi:
Dear friends,

Please i need ACR software to be work in hd2 with two ways recording. Please advise.

Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
If touch HD is 480x800, the HD version :P

won't work for now, it doesn't depend on ACR and there's nothing slothie will be able to do for now unless someone will release a modified version of the audio driver for the hd2.

sync in outloook not working

Thnaks boss for this appl but i feet (HTC Touch HD)

1 .it consumes lot of bat power even in stdby

2. The synch in journal is not working only

3. On similar lines why cant we have a option of synching the sms everytime Ph is connected to pc..this will save major heartace:p:( of loosing sms
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
1) It doesn't, really, probably you have something else in background that does, tried this, in every version, on different roms, and I have never noticed any battery drain increase

2) what journal and what sync? if you need to synch the recording with activesync then you can choose to save the files in a folder under \My Documents

3) this program records call audio, there is nothing dealing with sms's... what are you talking about? :)

Hi

Would donate 50 US $ to you if it worked two ways on a HTC HD2 using a bluetooth headset.

found small error

If the 'last call' file is open in windows media player, and media player is not killed with task manager the ACR won't work....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
interesting find, suppose it doesn't sound so strange after all, yet it's still a weak spot. Did you test it with both acr 1.2.3 and acr hd?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] theBguy:
ACR needs a code so that if the file "lastcall.wav" is locked or used it writes "lastcall2.wav"

What happens when you finish a phone call and have 3 consecutive incoming phone calls after the other, do you get an option to save all 3? Slothie, you should be really popular enough with friends to test this out for you hahaha

I get this error after I hang up from checking my voice mail. It still recorded the conversation to LastCall.wav (thank you for that fail safe) This was also the first call I did after a soft reset.

I'm very impressed with ACR HD. I noticed you added some of my feature requests like record options for contacts :) Thank you very much!

I was wondering when we press Delete after the conversation can we delete LastCall.wav as well? Or make it an option in case some people want to keep it? I'm sure most people would agree to this considering we don't want a trace of the phone call we just deleted to land in the wrong hands.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Your error is a very well known thing from latest versions, it has to do something with the contect not being among your saved one in the phonebook, but the program works well no matter that screen. Anyway if you have 3 consecutive calls, lastcall.wav will in turn correspond to the latest one, and the calltime_callerid_number_wav files will still be recorded one per each call :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Cpt-Future:
Hi Guys,

a problem occured with my Blackstone (Touch HD) running HyPer v1.0 ROM (6.5.5) and ACR: The Sense UI will dont wanna start after a restart of the device. Top left menu text is simple "ACR" after a restart and on the top mainscreen is printed "Launching Sense...". Only after a touch on the screen the Sense UI will be shown. But I lost the screen alignment doing this.... The bottem area of the screen where not any more touchable after that. I had to reflash and make the device a dozen times on and off....

So there seems a problem with ACR while the start procedure of sense (CHT 1.7 installed). Anyone else can confirm that?

Thanks,

Future

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
for us hd2 owners that's normal, and there's no way to achieve that.

For the touch hd there is a patch around, you have to search on xda, to enable the full call recording, it's not working 100% by default.

REQ: reg key to disable call options screen

I have noticed something weird with my current setup, when I get a call (phone locked with s2u2) and after the call I go for the calendar, s2u2 automatically tries to relock the device, but at the same time the call options screen appears (play stop close delete), and well at that point the device is pretty much scrambled. I can save the situation by using LMT gestures to re-launch s2u2, otherwise s2u2 lockscreen shows, but I cannot slide to unlock, as apparently the screen control is stolen by something else (maybe acr), nor pressing any combo of hardware buttons solves anything.

So being able to "turn off" the call options screen may avoid this kind of occurrence; also, since the startup warning is there at boot time, the after-call screen can be safely removed, and I don't really need it as I just want to record all the calls no matter what ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spinifex74:
so, at present, this isn't worth installing on a HD2 (Leo) ???

From the overview of what this program does, it sounds perfect for what I want to do, but if it doesn't work on the HD2, then i'll leave it be.

No offence to the author, but can anyone recommend anything similar that DOES work on the HD2 ?

Or is the author planning on getting a HD2-compatible version up and running in the near future ?

Cheers in advance,

Spinifex
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
you didn't understand me :)

This app is indeed great, and even if slothie doesn't have plenty of free time he worked out some things that needed checking.

If doesn't work full duplex on the HD2 because NO application will. HD2 has that function locked by design,and unless someone "hacks" the audio drivers it will never be possible.

For now, when you record a call with acr or anything else, you will hear very low sound from the other person. So I suggest you to install it anyway and check it for yourself.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] spinifex74:
ahhhh... thanx ephestione.... now understood :)

unrelated, you're asking info about another software on acr's thread... we cannot really help you. Just use ACR, it's lightweight and pretty much effective.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
Looks something's amiss from your systeam rather than something being off with ACR.

I know most roms now have the latest NetCF installed, yet an error like that sounds to me like something missing from the system libraries.

wht's new of CHANGE LOG ? :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Flapjack:
I just came across this thread and must say, I'm impressed. I have a few questions, however.

1) I've been using the HTC In Call Recording, which works well, but requires me to move the files to the storage card or it will fill up my phone. It has an AMR format (whatever that is... why now MP3?), but it doesn't work (always saves in WAV). It also has the option to save to storage card, but that doesn't work either (even when setting the same option in "Notes").

Will ACR save in a compressed format and can it does it actually save to the storage card?

2) I'm VERY interested in the Outlook/Journal feature, but does this happen with over-the-air ActiveSync through Exchange? If so, that would be fantastic. If not, do I have to physically connect my phone to get the files moved over? If so, I might as well use the built-in file manager over USB or just copy the files using the SD card slot in my PC. Or is there any other advantage to synching to Outlook?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
yes to first question, GSM format tho and not mp3, no to second one, files are saved indipendently from any activesync protocol, you should manually set the folder as one of the synched ones from your synching platform if you want them to be automatically moved over
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] anhphe076:
Update ACR v1.2.4 #1 tesk!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Flapjack:
Ok, replying to your replies:

1) What is "GSM" format? Never heard of that. If you're talking media files, I've pretty much heard of them all, though AMR is new to me... (maybe that's the GSM format you're talking about. What is the file extension?

Also, what about the save to storage card option? Is there no physical copy on the phone's file system if you use the ActiveSync option?

2) So when I set up this app, I will select some sort of "save to activesync" option (paraphrasing... whatever it's called), then select that section under Tools > Options > Manage Folders to make it sync at home? That sounds like a great solution... especially if the files are compressed (WAV files would be ridiculous, as 10 seconds usually equals about 1MB with the HTC ICR).

Adding a question now...

3) Also, I've heard of some people (in this thread) complain about the other party being "quiet", which is actually their voice getting recorded from the earpiece to the mouthpiece. Is this phone-dependent? I have no problems with my TMO TP2 and the HTC ICR, but have had this same issue affect my old AT&T Tilt with other apps (Resco, for instance).

"update to next beta:

Yes, ACR HD 0.10 it was working fine until today on my VZW TP2 stock WM 6.5. Now I get and error and am told to upgrade to the next beta.

Has it exprired?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
scan through the last pages, slothie has uploaded a later beta version in one of his last posts
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
gsm is just a kind of audio compression, the file extension is still .wav... very decent quality and definitely small filesize.

Anyway if you want activesync compatibility you have to set the save folder under \my documents so it will be taken; no other way to do it automatically, and it will obviously eat space on your phone memory.

The ICR problem is just for the hd2, and it'ss phone dependent, afaik everything works fine on the TP2, with an appropriate patch maybe
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tigro11:
thin if you post the link in post back I have not found anything.

oh, in that case sorry ;) I got lost with the version numbers and automatically supposed you were using the HD version linked from the first posts...

The version 0.1.0 is actually the same I have installed, yet weirdly enough I can still proficiently use it, it recorded the call I made a while ago... :rolleyes:

Maybe mine will stop working as well in a few days :confused:

ACR HD 0.0.1.4 looks pretty, but it runs very slow on my Touch HD (latest stock ROM). And it simply does not play any of my recorded calls. Reverting to 1.2.4, which works perfectly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sp1tfire:
Hello. Tried to use ACR HD 0.0.1.4 on my HTC Touch HD (stock rom) and it runs very slowly and crashes after every call. I also used ACR 1.2.4 and that version runs smoothly, with only one problem, my voice is recorded perfectly, but the person's voice that i speak to sounds robotic and very distant. Is there any setting that i should pick in order for the voice to be clearer ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
none of the HD versions I've tried are able to actually play the recorded files... no big deal, I can do that from totalcommander with media player :)

can't actually see how acr could be slow as it works in background... anyway AFAIK there was a patch released for HD where you could enable two-way call recording... I wouldn't know where to get it since I'm on the HD2 and we have none of this luck for now :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
BTW @Slothie, since I am currently using ACR HD 0.1.0, and got no timebomb issue, nor have problems with functionality (apart the limits of the HD2), what would be the advantage of installing 0.0.14? (which looks like a downgrade to me ;))
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Sp1tfire:
It's slow as hell if you want to modify options, barely opens up and it's very hard to scroll the page. And i get a crash text after every phone call. I will try to get the patch you are talking about, but i don't know how's that gonna help me, since it already records both ways, but voice on the other end sucks.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nspect:
1.2.3 and 1.2.4 both play my recordings perfectly. They appear with a fast and clean interface when I open "Notes", and they play from "Notes".

I mean the GUI I see when opening ACR HD - the GUI that shows my recorded calls. It's pretty, but it is slow, and the Play button doesn't work for me. In fact, some (most) of my calls simply won't open.

As for two-way recording, that always worked fine for me with ACR. I never needed the patch.

Just installed acr hd 0.0.14, after realizing that 0.1.0 was not working at all (it gave the fatal error regarding lastest beta before but worked anyway...).

This version, when opening the settings progra, locks at "processing data..." with a nice kitt animation :p, but it doesn't seem to finish, and the cpu styas around 40% so itdoesn't seem to do that much of a processing... if I press "ok" button, I get an error screen saying "error blah blah Property "Rec" does not exist"

Here's the details:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nspect:
Ephestione, try ACR 1.2.4. Doesn't have the fancy interface or Outlook integration of ACR HD, but - on the bright side - it does not display the warning message, and it seems to work as smoothly as 1.2.3. For viewing and playing recorded messages, try Notes, installed on the stock ROM. In my opinion, what Notes lacks in information and a pretty interface is more than made up for by the clear display of recorded messages and instant playing of them.

Again, in my opinion, ACR HD (supposedly crafted for my specific device, the Blackstone) is rather useless, except if one wants to determine recording on the basis of Outlook contacts. Personally, I find it somewhat annoying that ACR HD pretends to have the ability to play the recorded messages but really just has a glossy but useless GUI that won't play anything and takes forever just to view the list and a bit more detail if any member of the list miraculously happens to display when tapped.

Of course, none of this is a criticism of Slothie or his app. Wouldn't live without ACR on my device. I just have not had a good experience with ACR HD yet. I have tried all of the ACR HD betas, and I am tired of installing each beta only to remove it a few minutes later and go back to ACR.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ephestione:
hehe, yeah, I do know that, functionality wise, ACR and its HD counterpart are exactly the same, when it comes to the meat (Call recording), as a plus ACR doesn't show the confirmation screen at boot.

I've been followind this thread since several months now, and I was using the HD version more for the sake of the developer, to report bugs/provide feeback (and that's the only reason why I'm reporting everything in here), yet selfishly speaking I think old school ACR is more stable.

Anyway, slothie did a great job, and as of now, as long as he will keep working on the HD version, even if at a slow speed, it will be fine with me nonetheless to use that over 1.2.4 ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
Um sorry I haven't been around lately (Too much work, Just Cause 2 and a new Dell U7211) Did I miss anything? I'm hoping to get some time for this app this week. I was going to do a graphical makeover and change the default startup settings to 'Record All' calls. Was there anything I'm missing?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nspect:
Slothie, first, thanks for your great app.

I did happen to mention that some aspects of the ACR HD 0.0.14 GUI are unusable on my Touch HD (Blackstone), last stock ROM. Most of my recorded calls won't open by tapping them, and the Play button doesn't play anything for any of the calls. I also mentioned that ACR HD takes a long time to change the default setting. Making the default setting to record all calls will simplify matters for me and presumably for most users.

That said, I am good with ACR 1.2.4. My question is: Does this version also have a time bomb?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Slothie:
If you are referring to the "mark all Record/Don’t Record/Ask" buttons I really am jammed up here. To do this it requires looping though all the contacts and then looping through all the contacts in pocket outlook. That’s why those take so long at the moment. I am thinking of a better way but I put them in as is as quite a lot of people where asking for them.

No the time bomb was removed. Unfortunately I ran right out of time this month and had to rush it out. I’m currently trying to knock the top off this:

www.oraclebroadbeach.com

So workdays are huge at the moment. But we are nearing the end so I’ll hopefully start to get more time for programming. And the first thing will be fixing the default options I’m thinking.
