I've been using the Asus Zenfone Max M! Pro for almost a year now and there is one common problem that almost every Zenfone owner I knew has come across - the absence of call recording in the default phone app. This can be a serious annoyance especially if you're a person like me who tends to zone out during calls (or if you're super paranoid).
I tried a lot of apps from the play store, read multiple guides online =, bothered a lot of people with testing calls to FINALLY come up with this guide. Here, I now disclose the one app that worked for me, on my Zenfone Max M1 Pro (Stock ROM, no modifications).
If you want to enable call recording on your phone, download ACR (even the free version works) and grant it the necessary permissions to run. Then, simply start making calls and Voila!
All of the recordings will be saved in a folder of your choice. I'm recommending this app because it's the only one that worked (in my case at least). Other apps I tried were - Call recorder by Skyvalex, Automatic Call Recorder Pro (Similar name to this app, but doesn't work ), auto call recorder, cube call recorder and a couple others.
If there's any other app that worked for you, mention it's name in the thread below and I'll verify and include that in the post as well (with credits).
Hope you find this helpful. Hit the Thanks button below, if you do
Cheers!
Does NOT work on 'Android Pie'

It does NOT work as intended after the update to 'Pie'.
Please do let me know if any workaround to make 'ACR' to record voice of other party on a device running 'Android Pie'.

No need to be rude. I searched the customisation, themes and mods thread, did not find any contacts or tel app. So give the actual link to help everyone.

I don't see any of recording feature here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/zenui-asus-computer-inc/contacts/#description
Could you please share the screenshot?
Android Pie and above call recording feature will not work unless the rom is rooted or it is custom built.
Hello, anybody knows how to record calls during AA usage? (without root)
My S10e has inbuilt call recorder but during AA usage the stock dialer is not used, so the call recorder does not' start.
Is there a way to force AA to use stock dialer?

Hi @mains75 your post is old but I wonder if I am having a similar issue, and if you ever figured out a work around. I have a OnePlus 7 Pro that is rooted with call recording enabled. When using Android Auto the call recording doesn't work. My search for a solution brought me to your post. Any help would be appreciated.
unfortunately there is no way to do it...AA is the worst software by google,it has is own phone dialer that is not customizable. The one way should exclude it from calls by using onother dialer that supports call recording...
There's something new...Dont' know how..But just yesterday my s10e starts to record calls during AA connection...
I did not update anything, Google app only...
This is a very good news to me.
Edit: The dream is alreday over... after deleting data from Google app and Google play services to solve Google assistant issue, call recording does not work anymore...
Hi, I have downloaded an app called Automatic call recorder by appliqato.
I used this app before with no problems on my previous phone (mi a1).
But for some reason, now it is recording but with no sound.
Any idea why?
Thanks a lot!
Maybe it worked on your older phone because it had an older android version. It appears goolag has decided that we won't be allowed to record our phone calls under android 10. That is until they change their mind.

Yes you are right, My old mi a1 was on android 8 when I used it.
do you know of any way of enabling it?
maybe with root?
or by downgrading android?
It's really important for me to record calls.
edit: I read a little bit and found this: https://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1877-android-10-call-recording.html
this app does work if you enable the accessibility setting, but for some reason, the other person is not as loud in the recording as he is when talking to him, but it's close enough so I will take it
Almost any custom MIUI ROM has such function by default.

I can confirm it works with Boldbeast on the Mi 9T pro, without root.

Yeah somehow, that is the main reason I use the xiaomi.eu ROM (because it has auto call recording).

Which recording mode do you use?

You have to use the apk from the website, not the playstore app!
From the official boldbeast website:
No root needed, but special operation needed
In some countries in some phones, the call recording feature of Android 10 is disabled but Boldbeast Recorder can bypass the limits to enable it. Please:
- Confirm you are using Boldbeast Recorder V12.9 or a newer version.
- Tap "Settings - System - Accessibility" in your phone (not in Boldbeast), enable Boldbeast Call Recorder on the screen.
- Tap "Set Default Settings" in Boldbeast Recorder.
Then it works at once, both your voice and the caller's voice are loud and clear in recordings, no root needed.
For example, Android 10 phones like Galaxy S10, Note10 etc in many countries work great this way.
The voice of the other person on the line is a bit weak, but usable.
On my rooted phone, both voices are equally loud & crystal clear.

I have installed app (Boldbeast Recorder V12.9) from website but my recordings are empty... files are created but it's just silence when you play it back.
There are 12 Record Modes (1-7, 11-14 and Alsa Mode (Root)). What Mode should be used for Mi 9T Pro, MIUI Global 11.0.1?
I use record mode 12
On Android 10, there are some microphone issues seen on custom ROMs. I've used myself Evolution X 4.0 and saw it.
The problem is for sure not hardware related. The problem stops at some point after a reboot. When the microphone stops working again, it only gets fixed after a reboot.
I see a lot of people trying to fix that issue but no luck...
Usually, the microphone problems are:
• No voice message output on Facebook messenger
• No phone call capability
• Maybe more issues I've not found out yet
THIS FIX IS ONLY FOR SOFTWARE ISSUES WITH MICROPHONE. IT WON'T WORK IF IT IS A HARDWARE RELATED PROBLEM.
Instructions:
Just flash the zip using Magisk Manager.
DO NOT use TWRP because the installation will fail!
Cheers!?

This is strange. Because you can always disable google app mic permission, and there are mic problems in custom roms for our device and disabling google app mic permission fix the mic problem.
Try disabling using root or ask the rom developer for a fix. AFAIK disabling mic permission to google app will solve mic problem.
Flash this in TWRP, this fixes mic problem on Q.

Oh well, the author didn't say anything about magisk, so I presumed that this is a recovery module. but thanks for the info, appreciate it.

disable "ok google" in google home and you're good
Some ROMs have Google built in and you can't modify it's permissions. You'll have to find a way to delete it or use a different ROM.
Hi there. Any news about this fix? I resolved disabling "ok Google" in Google home but for me is important to have that enabled. May be some Android 9 rom can solve problem? Actually I have pixel experience Android 10 and mic random doesn't work. Thanks
::victory: works fine this ways! many thanks

Disabling microphone permission for the Google app, or switching off 'Hey Google' detection, stops the microphone working completely.
I'm on crDroid 6.3 with no GApps and I have the issue that the Mic is extremely loud for Instagram Live and other inApp recording. This is probably not related to this issue here?

Me too. Pixel Experience ROM for Redmi Note 7 (Lavender) has an issue where microphone does not work for Google's Recorder app. This module patch did not work, the issue still persists!
I am very frustrated, as this is only one issue out of many that @letsmakecakes definitely knows exists but (I assume) has trouble fixing. I am not sure if the language barrier between me and a lot of users on the XDA forums is making it harder to communicate my issues, as some have difficulty communicating in English.

How about the backround noise?
For some time now I've been looking for a smartphone that has a call Recording function that records incoming and outgoing calls without downloading any third-party app . Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thank you.

OxygenOS has built in call recording and the CE 5G should have it too.

That depends also on regions and locks as call recording is not allowed everywhere!

The funniest thing is. There are ZERO regulations in India with regards to that. It's in fact promoted, to prevent personal/professional abuse. And still Xiaomi and OnePlus have moved to the crazily Orwellian Google dialer.

You're right, reviews shows that the CE 5g comes with a Google dialer too=hopefully not in every region)
Hey! I got the phone and yeah, it does come with the google dialer,m personally i like the google dialer over others but oneplus dialer was GREAT. Why would they do that?
Also it does have the call recording here in India. I think there is a little alert that tells other person that the call is being recorded but other than that it works great.

All Samsung phones have call recording built-in since last 2-3 years incl S8/9/10/20/21 and their variants and M or A series of last 2-3 years at least incl M31 etc.
Before that I had been using some apps I think on S6 and such but it was frequently a headache with issues like low volume of other person voice etc.
Now it works perfectly

In the following thread they explain two ways to have the OnePlus phone app. The first is without root (you will also need the jtools application and make the call recording work through a fastboot command) and the second with magisk and a rooted terminal. Both work on Nord CE 5G (I have tried both methods)

Hey everyone!! Greetings from my side. We were trying hard to get 100% working oneplus dialer and messaging app in oneplus 8t. and Yes, We have successfully done it. I am very happy to share the guide with you all :) WITHOUT ANY ROOT METHOD...

Note: so that OnePlus contacts do not give problems, they do not grant permissions for the "call log"
