is there still no Gingerbread ROM/kernel that supports call recording?
is anyone aware of the current state of development?
is there any?

Last I heard the one country that allowed it, didnt add it to the last update. To be Honest I dont think it is a good idea. While useful, all it takes is one person to find out they were recorded without consent and boom lawsuits everywhere. The main reason I never add it to my roms

Depends on the country.. North of the 49th, we are allowed to record calls if one party is aware that the call is being recorded (ie the caller). would love to see this feature incorporated into a rom, as I have not been able to find a working app that will do it properly.
still no dev on introducing call recording on ginger?
Bump. I sure could use this feature. Worked great on Continuum 4. Wish I still had it on GB roms. :-(
Wont work on gB for a while. The Korean phone we got it off of had froyo at the time so we could port it. The phone doesn't have 2.3.5 GB so it will be very hard to port

I've been wondering how many people would not switch to gingerbread unless call recording is fully functional.
Im one of them....
Lets hope this catches the DEV's eyes' if the numbers are big
It is a MUST for me...
+1 for call recording
+2 Gingerbread + Call Recording or nothing!
+1 call recording for me

I never even used call recording. Why is it so important to you all?

It's useful for times when you need to recall some information that someone has mentioned during the call session.
Good to have but not necessary to have.
I don't mind it, but it has to be off by default. Recording every single call as some phone.apk do is ludicrous.

Edit: The poll is bias. Maybe to improve the chance for devs to take this up, you can have:
It's a must! I won't upgrade until it is implemented
Yes, It's a plus and occasionally I use it
Yes, It's good to have but not necessary
It doesn't matter whether I have it or not
Isn't the above more compellings?
I've already rolled back from jpk to jpy because of this
this feature is a must, with on/off rec button
Call record is a must have. =)
+1 call recording is very useful
It's really needed for me!
+1 call recording!
+1 I need a good quality call recording
everyone needs it in a while! flashed back to jpy for this!
Couldn't do my job without it.
i really miss that feautre.
is there any hope to see it on 2.3.4?
i'd like to know this as well.....anyone have any luck with this?
One more joining the quest here!!! Anyone knows the answer?

From the speaker? or real recording.
One thing I noticed with the release of Darkys Rom 10.2 is Darky said he nearly got call recording working but ran out of time and left for 2 weeks holiday.
The issue of recording a conversation tends to be very complex legally, with the statutes changing from country to country (and even state to state). Some countries/states permit secret recording, others require at least one participant to be aware they are being recorded, others require all participants to be informed.
As Google works to defragment Android, this is a legal morass they will likely wish to avoid therefore I doubt we will see call recording as part of AOSP in the furure.
However some vendors do include it in their own ROM versions, especially those intended for regions with more permissive laws about Call Recording. Also, some custom ROMs include the feature...so shop around.
Isn't the voice recorder in the Nirtrality app (from market)??
Otherwise.. I don't understand you
I dont think he cares about it being legal in his country or any other app capable to record calls.
He probably ask about a way to have integrated call recording on samsung roms without any other external app.
We could have it on froyo because samsung released 2.2.1 on some asian countries with that function, but apparently that country didnt get 2.3.4 yet so nobody could do the same for samsung gingerbread roms.

SamHaLeKe, I just downloaded your Add-on Pack I... I can see that it includes an app to record calls automatically, I dont think thats what he's looking for.

I tried several kernels, just only speedmod kernel can support this function with "record my call" app which can be found in market. Maybe, this isn't reall recording too, but the voice can be accepted.
does any one know a gingerbread rom that has built-in call recording like the one on darky 9.5?
I do not think there is one. Am I right?

Why not just find an app that does that for you? It's not going to do a lot of difference whether it's in the ROM besides saving you time looking for something that integrates well with that you already have.
First off, Let me say this. In Ohio (where I live), and most other states, it is legal to record your phone calls as long as one of the individuals involved are aware the recording is taking place (no phone tapping). Some other states it is illegal period, thus leaving it in the operators hands to do the research. This research has been done, and for me, this is legal. Please dont turn this into a right or wrong post. Too many of those exist already.
Legal bullcrap aside, I need to be able to record my phone calls from my droid bionic. I am already rooted, and willing to spend some money on this. I know there are many other that are as well.
I've tried all the popular recorders in the market, and they all have issues on most of the droids, including the bionic. It appears that the software disables this feature, and I need it unlocked in my phone. If someone were to be able to bypass this restriction, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one sending donations.
If someone would be so kind as to look into programming the bionic to activate this feature, I would be forever greatful. I had the feature on my old Samsung Saga, and it helped out so much.
I am also interested in this. I assume it shouldn't be too hard...just like the 12 and 13 channels on 802.11. Unless maybe Motorola disables it at the firmware level.
I've been reading and it seems like recording my voice is not a problem, but recording the caller is an issue. (App wise not legally, stay focused) I've not heard definitively if the issue is hardware or not. At the risk of distracting the posse in the quest for an unlocked bootloader, does anyone firmly know one way or the other. (I've read the ROM is blocking it, and the hardware is not capable.)
For what it's worth, if someone is willing to delve into it I would put in on it.
As Google voice as my primary number when I get a call I can press 4 to record. A voice says voice recording or something like that and when I hang up I have an email with the recording. A work around if you need to record something.

Yeah, Google voice is nice, but sucks for recording. I make most phone calls, I dont receive them too often. Plus, you have a lady that loudly says "this call will be recorded" after you press the number 4 into their ear.
If it's the rom, I would like to know how to change it. Many motorola owners especially, would be very appreciative of such a modification. I like it when my call was recorded and i could choose whether to save or not with allcallrecord. Usually not, but it was nice when i could if i talked about something important.
Google Voice is not a good alternative, It kind of works, but I would like the whole thing to work.
I know that MIUI does this natively.

Actually MIUI isn't available for the Bionic, and I know the Droid X version of MIUI says it is recording but the file is corrupt and too small to have actually done any recording.
There does need to be a program that handles call recording discreetly, while there is a distasteful side of this, there are plenty of legitimate reasons. I'm a journalist for instance and would love to start doing phone interviews with my cell instead of going to the office and getting setup with special gear. Our celebrity interviews are always taped (with permission). Also investigative reporting... which is why I said discreetly.
There are plenty of businesses that would pay decent money for a good feature like this. If someone is doing this project, the best way IMO would be to have an option to record call, and record in the room, and have it save to phone and option to save to drop box (real time) so for instance...
If me as a journalist decides to record a Chicago Police officer breaking the law it would go right to drop box. They have made it a felony to do this, but as a member of the media I'm entitled constitutionally speaking to record a public servant and to report on it. Normally what would happen is they would take my phone, beat the **** out of me, arrest me, and then either plant drugs or a gun on me.
I know that sounds odd, but we have issues in Chicago.
we dont have a custom kernel yet so its not possible. once we get a new custom kernel we should be able to have that integrated
That will be awesome. Keep me posted f something comes up. I'll keep my eye out as well.
new custom kernel
I am also aggravated that I can't get an app which will record calls on my bionic. I live in a one-party state, so it is legal for me to record my coversations....discreetly or otherwise. Like the others, I find myself in a situation where I really need this functionality. Does anyone have an ETA on when this will be made available? Will I need to buy a new phone because it will require a hardware fix? Or can it be fixed with an OS update?
I realize the actual "fix" is probably not available yet....but it seems like some of you might be on the down-low with why it doesnt' work and what it will take to fix it.

I believe its a software fix/modification. Something would have to be put in place to actually make you not be able to record. Hopefully one of the roms will allow this to happen.
Bump Bump Bump
I could really use this. My lawyer is telling me I need this for the situation I'm in. My evo 4g from sprint was able to do it with the stock app just fine. Wish this phone was the same way

If this is right then it won't happen until the bootloader is unlocked which according to some posts that I've read won't be for a year plus.

Yay!! Anyone know if the Samsung Charge/Stratosphere or any of the other 4G phones record calls? If they do, I may be switching. For all that I do with my bionic, recording phone calls reigns precidence over dual core and webtop, not to mention a glitchy phone in general.
Turns out, the Stratosphere works with Total Recall. I'll try the Samsung Droid Charge and see. I may end up getting it instead.
I wish someone would update this Really need call recording to work on my phone...

Yes, agreed!
You need a custom kernel that supports this feature, which motorolas do not. So until the bootloader gets unlocked or somebody figures a way around that it is more than likely not going to happen.
I currently have CM7 installed and I was wondering whether call recording is possible.
Thanks.

You have to use some third party apps that will surely record the calls. Try searching it in the market.

Why? So if my mom calls me while I'm driving and wants to give me a phone number to call later (for whatever), it's illegal for me to record the call so I don't have to type or write the number?
I have a call recorder installed but due to hardware can only record from Mic. works great in speaker mode, otherwise caller's voice I'd quiet but still audible.

CM7 will never support call recording due to the laws in some countries. 3'rd party apps would be the best way to go for you.

Putting the call recording support into GB roms is not that easy.
First they have to decompile arm binary library files to see what's going on the source code.
After that, they can implement it.
They say they won't implement Call Recording due to legal issues. That's pretty BS (At least for Galaxy S)
I bet, they won't because they can't.
Working with arm binaries require high level of programming skills.
If you are considering laws, you would fix only library files and would keep the recording program apart. Therefore users will be responsible who install any call recording program.
Again I bet, once call recording supported GB library files released by samsung (as they did before for froyo of Chinese version galaxy S), everyone who says "illegal", will add those files into their roms
