Call Recording not working

Hi!

Great ROM (I'm testing Com 5), but unfortunately I have to report that call recording ist NOT working properly! I've flashed the ROM, did a hard reset and then enabled call recording in the "Calls->Auto Record Calls" section. I adjusted the save path to some location on the storage card. I've not done any customizations nor installed any other programs - it's just the ROM out of the box.

2 problems:

1) It does not do 2-way recording! The other party is barely audible - actually you can only hear it if you know there's somebody talking, and not even then properly. So it's definitely NOT recording both sides equally loud, and the volume of the other party is not loud enough to be useful.

2) No matter which path I set for saving the recordings, the program always saves the files to the root of the device. Clearly a bug of the ACR program.

It's really a pity that 2-way recording doesn't work on the HD2...

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
That's not a bug of ACR but COM 5 23529. ;)

On COM 2 (which I'm using atm) I can save my recordings to storage card without any problem, just tried it. :)

And Incall recording is working fine for me both sides loud and clear.

Maybe also a bug of COM 5?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] juicecultus:
can i flash the 2.08 radio with this rom?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
Ah, ok, so I will try Com2 now - thanks for the hint! I'll report back as soon as I have results!

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
If you flashed HSPL there's no problem, yes you can try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xdexx:
I am in Holland, on Vodafone. What would be the most compatible radio?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SPutty:
WOW Really?

i thought this was impossible to do this.

you really are the best!!!!!!

thank you. thank you. thank you very much:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Redmen:
Hey Leo,

Thanks a lot for this great ROM. I switched to Laurentius26 655V1.2 (CE OS Build 21891.5.0.88) today and have to say again this is one of the best ROM's so far.

There only 1 problem: Landscape doesn't work for me. Maybe i do something wrong?

I've been using Laurentius26 HD2 [LEO] V4.5 Ultimate for a while and that had landscape fully working. Almost every app is rotating when i flip my phone. Installed that ROM and everything worked perfect, didn't have to do anything for it to make it work.

I really need that option because of all the long names in file explorer.

So am i doing something wrong? Can you plz give me some advice about this problem?

Thanks in advance! Bedankt LEO!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I can give you a landscape cab but with the new Sense 2_5_20113626_0 not all tabs are working perfect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Redmen:
That would be great Leo! :o

I really don't mind as long as file explorer works with landscape.

Btw, i'm wondering why it always rotates to the left. Basicly you have the volumeswitch at the bottom. It seems more obvious to me to have the volumeswitch at the top when you rotate the phone. (that'll probably be a setting i didn't found yet)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MattRob:
Working with your ROM now for one full day (23529) and working perfect (with the few add-ons, like lock-screen, etc). The only problem I have now, is that in some screens, the Menu button is not showing (but you can press it though and then it comes up). Is that something you can work on ?

Further, do you guys now how I can change the band ? I am in another country now and I can't get on another gsm network .... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] grabson79:
X button

ROM is working great so far but there is one thing which annoys me, this is the X button. Is there any way to configure this button to actually close the application instead of minimising it???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Redmen:
Try to hold the X button, that should close the app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi man,

I'm on 21891 atm but changing band works ok maybe you can try as well.

Open the phonecanvas and press menu\options.

Now scroll down on the screen with your finger and you see 'Other options'.

There you find 'Band', if you press on it you can change band plus other settings.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
There's no X-Button in the rom, at least not that I know :confused::D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MattRob:
Yeah, that was what I tried. If I go to phone (here e.g. the menu is not showing, but I can press where it 'should' be and it opens the menu), and then to Band, I can only choose between Network Type (Auto, GSM or WCDMA) and Band Frequency (Auto, GSM + UMTS, GSM or UMTS), but I cannot change the operator ... That is needed, because the operator I have now, does not give me 3G ... And the operator I had this afternoon, did have it (I am in Germany now) .... Or am I really missing something (I was not that sharp today, my wife confirmed ....)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Aha now I understand I think, I ques your not so sharp today hihi your wife is probably right. :p;)

Go to start menu\settings\menu\all settings\Connection settings\Connection setup.

Now you can change your operator. :D

LoL :D;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MattRob:
:D ! My wife is usually right. I parked our car against the car behind us, missed two times the same exit from the motorway ...

But, I can't get it done (maybe still me ...), but when I use the connection settings, I can (e.g.) go to Germany and then T-mobile (I am on E-Plus now), but then it only 'configures' my settings, but I still stay on E-plus .. It is not changing the operator :confused: ? Is it me agian .... ? Thanks for the quick follow-up though :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I just tried the connection setup with your operator so it's something else.

Edit; Sorry I will check one more time.

Edit2; Actualy I do understand your point now, not sure and I can't test.

Maybe another radio will fix.

Try radio Radio_2.06.51.07

Edit 3, sh.. then you will lose 576mb ram tweak. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] phgv2206:
The same here. There is no option to make the device visible in bt settings.

Is there any fix for this? I have 1.2 com 2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Redmen:
Hey Leo,

Any progress on the landscape .cab?

It would make the ROM perfect if it's possible to rotate in file explorer. Even when i have to do it manually by holding the phone button it would be perfect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Maybe I'm mistaking but isn't that an option to make the device vissible for other devices?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
ok here's the Reg Edit.......

well 2 reg edit,

1. turns the BT visibility on!

2. turns the BT PIN request off!

this cab should be ok to use with other ROMs, that have this issue

NOTE; INSTALL TO DEVICE & A SOFT REST IS REQUIRED AFTER INSTALLATION
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thanks for your help mate added to the cabs and fixes corner. :)

>> Temporary fixes/solutions
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] phgv2206:
Yes. What i mean is : there where you choose to make the device visible, we cant change anything. Its always set not visible to others
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GEoMaNTiK:
My first custom was the L26, however I've since moved to Dutty's HG since the 576mb was made available.

Anyway, I'm considering flashing back to L26, main reason is for the InCall Recorder included, can anyone give me their experience with this utility as I've heard mixed opinions about whether it actually works or not.

Does the version included record the person on the other ends voice and is it clear or just very softly recorded? Does anyone actually use the utility and should I flash just for this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
mate yes it's a known issue, theres no selection box

install the cab in this post... Post 271

it'll fix the issue,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
a pleasure Bro!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] phgv2206:
Thanks Spike.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
no problem my friend,

all ok now?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
It's not the option, Laurentius. It's the message of bluetooth discoverable setting in all rom :)

Pls check it up or try to receive a file from another device by bluetooth, u'll know my point :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Redmen:
I'm sorry Leo, i made a mistake :o

Landscape is working perfect and i can even choose to rotate clockwise.

It was the Max Manila 3.0 beta that helped me. I had it on "rotate to right" while i was rotating to the left *SHAME* (was not used to clockwise rotation).

Now it can rotate to both sides:p

So now your 21891 build ROM is the best for me!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Redmen:
Read THIS for a fix.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Just double checking :)

Your cab has the AllowOthersToDiscover string in the HKLM> Software> WIDCOMM> Filters folder but I just checked my registry (im using duttys HG v0.8 so it might be different) and that string is in the HKLM> Software> WIDCOMM> BTConfig> Filters folder?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
Ok thanks. But frankly i don't like to make a regedit. IProbably i'll play around with Kwbr_topix 1.3 and wait for the next Laurent's release :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Piemole:
Hey Leo another nice ROM.

Anyone else having problems with location not working? It has worked on every other ROM I have tried.

Could someone please post a rillphone from another ROM so I can copy it in?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tkalli:
No problem with 21891 for me.

​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Piemole:
Ha seems to have fixed itself.

Weird.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Haha no problem my friend I'm happy you solved it. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
WoW thanks mate, big thanks for spotting that,

Spike
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tkalli:
I have flashed the 24001, 23529 and 21891 versions of the ROM.

I am using the 21891 version now and so far, it seems to be

the best one for me.

Only had it on for a day so I will see how the next few days go.

:)

​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stukka2006:
hi tkalli,

is igo and footprints working seamless on 21891?

thanks for answering!

have a nice day!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bibold:
Hi Laurentius, Hi to all,

Thanks for your rom, it's the fastest rom I ever saw on HD2 :-)

I've a small problem with the landscape view:

- Can manilla rotate in landscape view ? (On mine it can't!). I saw on other posts that it can't because some tabs are not rotating properly.

- When I'm in Opera 10 in landscape view, after I touch the Home button, Manilla is also in landscape view, and I can't go back in the normal view unless I go back in Opera. So how can I disable manilla rotation in this case?

Somebody knows the problem?

Thanks in advance,

Bib
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
manila Music, Document and Album rotate to landscape without any problem.

The other tabs don't rotate unless you modify Manila but they will give some rotation issues, this is because of Manila 2.5.20113626 (beta) which doesn't support all tabs landscape yet.

Opera 10 beta 3 I didn't test yet so I don't know how this respond on the OS.

I've played with Opera 2 but wasn't satisfied about it, it doesn't integrate good in Sense.

The quicklink bookmarks won't work for example.

Flashing using SSPL + SPL 2.07 :D

Thx for the OZ IM LEO.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yes!:
Hi L.,

Thanks for all your hard work! :cool:

I had some problems with getting the ROM to normal speed. I had to hard reset a couple of time, now speed seems to be ok.

However i'm not able to switch the clock to 24 hour format. The checkbox for it is greyed-out. Do you know of another method for adjusting the setting?

Thanks again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mikulec:
Try to change it in windows settings(manila settings tab/menu/all settings/system/regional settings/ and there change the time to HH:mm:ss)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yes!:
Thanks for your suggestion.

The problem is that in Regional Settings i do see an option named "Use 24-hour format" which however i can't activate.

Furthermore i can only adjust the Short & Long Date formats on that page.

Edit (Solved):

I had to choose English (United States) instead of Dutch (Netherlands) to be able to customize the formats.

Still a little weird but it works anyway! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
Call recording in Com 2 still not optimal...

Hi!

I've now tried the Com 2 build of the ROM and although the other party is (maybe) a tiny bit louder now, it's still almost impossible to hear when using call recording. Also, the recording always seems to stop after 1 minute? Strange.

I will try VITO Audio Notes Touch, which always worked perfectly on my old Touch HD. I hope that program will record both sides equally loud and with no 1 minute time limit...

Regards!

EDIT: No, unfortunately, this is not working either! Audio Notes Touch does record the calls, but the other party is almost impossible to hear (as usual and with all ROMs for the HD2).

So 2-way call recording IS DEFINITELY NOT WORKING with both the Com 2 and the Com 5 versions of the ROM, sorry! I don't know what you are doing, Laurentius, to have both sides recorded equally loud, but with your ROMs it's not working out of the box. Either you are applying some tweaks (or using the speaker phone, high mic gain, etc.) or you are just claiming that it works when it actually doesn't...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
I'm not applying tweaks but using it default as it's, only activating the recording in ACR. I didn't test intensive only reproduced to see if it works or not.

I didn't test longer then a minute so there you could be right.

And yes now you can save recordings to storage card right?

I'm not claiming anything IT WORKS OK BOTH SIDES LOUD AND CLEAR. ;)

And I just did another test.

Btw next time I won't advise you anymore. :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vodanhdaisu:
@Mr.MHoefler: i don't know what's happening in your device. But atleast u should behave and give to Laurentius a particular respectation for his hard-working here. We don't force you have to flash Lauren's rom. If u don't satisfy, there are alot of roms outside waiting for u.

@Laurent: After 2 days playing around with Topix and XannyTech rom, I've already gone back to your rom right now. Your roms are always the best. Thank for your great work. :)

Best regard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] real187:
One Question, has the lockscreen changed?

or is this the standard, as before it was tweaked?

it now locks with a still image of your screen at that moment.

not the picture you can select in manila settings.

laters.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
You can find a fix here: ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stuart-buchy:
I have just changed back to com 2, I couldnt get used to the buttons at the bottom just doesnt look right.... the Com 2 feels a bit quicker also, this is just right and I hope you dont bring anymore roms out now so I dont get the bug to change..... well not for a few weeks :D

Anyway I have just installed dinks icon set and brians task bar which both add to the experience, so now im thinking it would be good to have more short cuts in the quick links, so can any recoment a 20 links cab or anything??

I love this ROM!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Check my Changelog. :p:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stuart-buchy:
DOH..... another new one!, well like I said I love this one so will be happy for a few weeks!

What about 20 links? any recomendations?

hi Leo

so do you think you will upload your new rom today?

otherwise I need to spend some time with my girlfriend :-)

greets from Munich
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SPutty:
looking forward to it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
Seems you are the only one for whom this is working - strange! Nobody else reported it working, not even in the dedicated call recording thread...

Maybe your device is different somehow?

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xdexx:
Leo, maybe you should just remove the recording feature in the next ROM release...

Peace!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yeah seems like it, a super device special made for Laurentius26 with some extra features like a rocket launcher and secret spionage tools aka 007 style. :rolleyes::cool:

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yeah I will do that, thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
Great idea - it's not working anyway, so why keep it... ;-) At least this will be the definitive answer to whether or not it really works :-)

Nahh - just kidding! I'm glad it works for 1 or 2 people at least. That's a good start and maybe one day somebody will find out how to enable 2-way recording for all of us...

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Edit; I take that back no call recording software anymore.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
@MHoefler, For now you arranged that I won't support call recording anymore even if people reported it worked. ;)

And yes for me it works fine too, one last time BOTH SIDES LOUD AND CLEAR :D

Congrats!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
no probs, mate,

my friend TKalli told me about it,

WoW, yep only a few miles away (Letchworth), sweet!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
Why are you so immature about this? Call recording is one of the most highly anticipated features for the HD2, so if this really works fine on your device, there must be a way to enable it on all others as well!

Since it doesn't work on any ROM so far, you'd be the hero of the community if you really could make it work :-)

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
You called me a liar that's why. :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
Oh, sorry, I didn't mean it that way! English is not my native tongue, so maybe I didn't use the right words.

What I meant is that maybe you think it's working (or it's working for you), because you have some settings that increase the volume of the other party although it's not really recorded from the audio stream but from the microphone (as with all other ROMs)?

Anyway, your ROM is still the best of all and it'd be great if we could get call recording for everybody...

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Spike™:
well, i've just tested this out,

i'm runnin 21891

i've never used it before,

and guess what

IT WORKS!!!

nice work Leo bro!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sakis9:
best rom for now

amazing! Great job !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MHoefler:
What do you mean by "it works"? Are both parties equally loud? I mean "really" equally loud? If the other party is less loud, then it's not really working, because then it's not the raw audio stream that's being recorded, but the sound that is picked up by the microphone during the call (probably with a really high mic gain, so that the other party is audible). Also, maybe you have turned up the volume (during the call) really loud or you are using the speakerphone? Both could lead to the impression that call recording is working natively, when in fact it isn't.

Also, which recording software do you use? Which settings?

Regards!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wilcovh:
My goodness. i have lost count on the amount of posts talking about call recording. I think this is taking over the thread of this wonderfull rom.

Laurentius,

After owning my HD2 for exactly one month, during which time I've been learning so much from these forums, I took the plunge and installed my first custom ROM this evening and chose your COM2 build.

Just wanted to say a quick Thank You.
