Hey Guys,
I am looking for a way to record all incoming and out bound calls on the note 5. It is obviously simple with a rooted phone but does anyone have any ideas or methods to do this with a non-rooted phone. Would SUPER DUPER appreciate a method.
Thanks
try Call Recorder s5 / s6 by Killer Mobile on play store.
Automatic Call Recroder
For call recording you can use it's function or you may use call recording software... here you can found different solution

Note 5 Call Recording
Wouldn't it be nice if the carriers and manufactures would start offering the experience you get with 3rd party ROMs on rooted phones. Obviously there is built in functionality that allows call recording flawlessly. Now I have the note 5 and have to work around it.
[Enter the long rant about how I hate being locked down by carriers on devices I pay full price for here]
If I can square away a few functionality items that I like without root, I wouldn't need root.
I don't want every feature included in the base rom...
If it can be added with an app on non rooted phones, that is the best buy far.
Then those that don't want it don't have to have it (or the bloat of the feature they won't use), but those who want it can.

Hey,
Anyone willing to install Total Recall for the Galaxy Note to see if it works properly ?
I'm getting my Note in about a week and would really like to know if it works, also, i don't know if the normal Total Recall will work or if we need to install the version for the Samsung Galaxy S 2, Total Recall Samsung Galaxy S 2.
Android Market Total Recall:

The links are the free versions of the apps.
Any help would be appreciated
It works, keeps pinging super user permissions on root access. I'm getting a notification every second
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It works well and I have no problem with super user requests like the previous poster. I'm using the normal version. I thought the GSII version was the same as normal, but preconfigured for good performance on GSII. The normal version can be configured the same, but other ways also if wanted, while GSII version settings are locked down.
Settings I'm using:
Recording strategy C
x Prevent phone from sleeping
x Initiate the recording after the start of the call (for automatic start/stop recording)
Thanks guys
Hi,
I am using non rooted galaxy note. Total recall records my own voice loud and clear, but I could hardly hear other person's voice.
Does total recall only work on rooted galaxy note? Any suggestions please?

I tried installing Total Recall for SG2 on my Note but every time I run it it says 'an error occurred' and closed before I have a chance to test anything. You see the menu for about half a second and then the app crashes.
anyone having the same problem?
dr.ketan's thing definitely looks good, but I happen to like some of the features of Total Recall. I installed the generic version (not SGSII version) and it works great for recording both sides. I've exported my settings and attached the file here. Download the file, remove the extension (the original file has no extension but I had to add one to attach it here so I stuck on .zip, but don't bother extracting, just delete it) put the file in the root of sdcard (not external) and go to Total Recall > Export/import settings > Import. If you have the file in the root of sdcard and you deleted the extension, it should find it automatically.
I will try your method out and post my results.
I am using the Galaxy S2 version.
It seems to work but the recorded volume from the the end is quite soft.
I then made some adjustment and click the "audio" and "advanced setting"
"turn the speakerphone on while recording". I recorded as 3GPP and the
recordings are fairly acceptable.
I have an unrooted Note and of course when speaker is on other nearby
will be able to hear the conversation.

The GS2 version is just the regular version with the settings configured for optimal use on the GS2. But the thing is you can't change the settings, so if you change devices, you're stuck with those settings. Why would anybody get that version and lock themselves in, when they could get the standard version and have it work well with the GS2, then be able to reconfigure it for their next device when they bought a new phone?
I have the standard version, on my Note, configured as I explained in my 2 posts above, and it works great, recording both sides loud and clear without having to use speakerphone.
Hey Max,
Thanks for the info you've given. FYI, based on quite a bit of feedback, it seems the best way to get two-sided call recording going on the Galaxy Note is to first perform a test call using our Strategy B setting (you can adjust this under Audio -> Advanced Settings), then set the app to use Strategy C. As odd as this sounds, that's what gets this working. We're still researching the "Why", and we're also working on automating this for you to make it easier, so keep an eye out for this update.
And just as Max mentioned, the S2 build is nothing more than a version that's preset for this particular device. We'll probably release more builds like this for the more popular devices.
And just so you know, we are currently working on a complete, from the ground up rebuild to really clean up the UI (it's become a monster) and make things much easier to use, as well as adding quite a few features and updates that you guys have been requesting over the past months.
Stay Killer!

I bought the version for the Galaxy SII (i9100) because it was the season of my device, then migrated to the galaxy note N7000, made several requests on the website of killermobile requesting release so that I could use or download the version of the play version specifies to note (N7000) and unfortunately I was not satisfied.
Ae arrepdendido am today because I paid much and just because I changed my phone (samsung for samsung) can not use the product you bought and expensive, very expensive.
I feel very bad about the treatment meted out by the killer mobile site.
I use auto call recorder app from market. Works both ways and well.....

Hi guys*
I have a note 9 n960f
I've avoided upgrading to android 9 as I use call recording apps which from what I read dont work correctly in android 9. I.e. unable to record both sides of conversations correctly and also unable to grab phone numbers for the calls.*
Would really like to upgrade to android 9 though lol.
Sooo.
If I do. I guess I need to root to get the call recording etc back.*
Then I have the dilemma that I use banking apps. And always use fingerprint login.
Do these still work with root.*
Apps I'm concerned about are metro bank. Wirex. Transferwise. Bsnk of Scotland. SCB bank (Thailand). Izettle. Tesco pay+. Nationwide.
My Search Fu may not be the best, but I did try to find an answer. Is there any way to successfully record calls with the current release of Android (10 with One UI 2.5) on the Note9 without using root or changing CSC in regions where it is not enabled in the Samsung phone app?
Some people have used third-party call recording apps with the phone's speakerphone mode. Unfortunately, that is not an option in public, especially when dealing with something sensitive. It is incomprehensible that Google would remove functionality that is one of the most basic, most necessary ones for smartphone users. It is COMPLETELY LEGAL for me to record calls where I live. Allow me to do so.
I just got SM-G973F/DS. I'm very satisfied so far. There's just two problems:
- there doesn't seem to be any way to record calls. There's no button for it on the call screen (even the three dot menu in the corner doesn't have it). Voice recorder app doesn't record anything.
- only the stock camera app (com.sec.android.app.camera, version 11.0.03.24) has access to the telephoto lens. From what I understand, Samsung just blocks access to it on a hardware level.
Is there anything I can do about those things? Would rooting change anything?
I have the same exact phone model (signature notwithstanding). I've spent a week looking into getting call recording working. Your thread gives me an excuse to share what I've learnt regarding it on the S10... I don't know anything about the camera situation.
Background: Call recording isn't legal in any European country. (If I'm wrong and there actually is one, or one with certain stipulations like only one party has to know the call is being recorded, Samsung doesn't care: there is no European region for which they will enable call recording.)
The region of the phone is determined by its CSC. Samsung enables/disables certain features according to the CSC in order to comply with the region's laws and regulations.
For MultiCSC firmware, which your phone will almost certainly have, the region is ultimately determined by the country of the SIM card in the phone.
To get call recording to work to varying degrees of success, you can use an app or enable the native call recording in the dialer. There's ways to do both things (with drawbacks) with a rooted phone and one that isn't rooted.
I didn't want to root this phone because of having to manually update the firmware, SafetyNet etc. etc. To save you from a long read, I ended up changing the phone's region to Vietnam (XXV) to use the native call recorder, which works perfectly.
Call recording with a rooted phone
With an app
This one's easy. Pretty much any call recording application will work perfectly. I would probably use Axet's Call Recorder - it's free and open source. There's Magisk modules out there that will grant it the required permissions to record calls like a system application.
Enabling Samsung's native call recording in the dialer
Edit the CSC files directly. There's guides for this on XDA. Essentially you're telling the phone, yes, call recording is allowed in any region. If you happen to use Xposed, the Firefds module can enable call recording without needing to edit files.
Call recording with a non-rooted phone
With an app
With Android 11, my experience using a third-party app was spotty. Modern Android versions don't allow user-installed programs direct access to the "call line". The only app I found which mostly worked was Boldbeast Call Recorder. Out of its 12 modes, the only working one on my S10 appears to use the microphones: the caller's voice, while understandable, was quiet. Background noise was present - quite noticeably so.
Cube ACR recorder is also said to "work" too but I never tried it. My assumption would be it has the same limitations as Boldbeast on an unrooted phone.
Enabling Samsung's native call recording in the dialer
Without root, you can't tell the phone the CSC it's configured for allows call recording, so your only choice is to change the region to one Samsung allows recording in. There's a list here on XDA with CSCs where you can use the call recording feature.
If your phone is still on Android 10, you can change the CSC for free with the Google Dialer app and a code I can't remember. A Google search will reveal many threads with information on that method. (This might factory reset your phone?)
If you're running Android 10(+), you have two choices. These will not trip Knox:
* Flash the Indonesian (XID) firmware. This can be done for free, and without losing your data - just make sure to flash HOME_CSC, and not CSC. Following a tip on XDA, I also took userdata.img out of the AP tarball, but I don't think that's needed. This works because the Indonesian firmware is single-CSC - even if you put a French or whatever SIM card in, there's no other CSC configured for the phone to be able to switch to.
I had working Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, heart rate measuring in Samsung Health and call recording in the dialer. I did have Samsung Pay too, but that's a misnomer - Samsung Pay in Indonesia is its own local version, with an Indonesian package name. I seriously doubt I'd be able to add my card to it anyway. (Not that I care, I use Google Pay. Samsung Pay does have the advantage of MST, but it was never really all that useful in the UK anyway - I'd have to go back to my childhood to remember a credit card terminal that only accepts magnetic strips.)
I did this at first (can't beat free) but eventually went for the following option because Indonesia is yet to still get the Android 12 upgrade...
* Buy SamKey CodeReader credits. As long as you've got a MultiCSC firmware flashed, you can use SamKey to change your CSC to whatever you want (a link to a list of CSCs with call recording can be found earlier in this post). I went for the Vietnamese CSC, XXV, because it's was the only call recording-supported country where the Android 12 update was released on the same day as it was for France, Australia etc.
With the Vietnamese CSC, heart rate measuring in Samsung Health and call recording in the dialer works. The VoLTE option is present, but I don't know if it actually works. Samsung Pay - the original - can be installed, but I don't know if it works.
However, Wi-Fi calling will not work. Apparently, Wi-Fi calling is forbidden by Vietnamese law. This isn't actually a problem because the Samsung call recorder doesn't work with Wi-Fi calling on anyway.
If Wi-Fi calling is desired, then the Israeli CSC (ILO; Android 12 not released as of this post) might be a good choice, but Samsung Pay cannot be used.
Big thanks, man. Much appreciated. Sounds like that's all I need to know.
Sucks about those stupid laws. Really, who cares if I record a conversation with someone (even without their knowledge)? Might as well stop putting cameras in phones to prevent you from taking pictures of strangers in the street.
No worries. I also find these restrictions annoying, from Google who locked down the ability for third-party applications to record cleanly, and from Samsung, who seem to be over-zealous in their application of recording restrictions...
An addition to my previous post: I went looking at the CSC files for the latest S10 Android 12 firmware, because the lists out there are a little old and I found there is actually one European country/CSC where call recording can be used: SEK (Ukraine, said to be for the Kyivstar network but unbranded on my phone - and my phone didn't get locked to that network either).
Samsung Pay doesn't work with Ukrainian CSC, and neither does Wi-Fi calling (I think you have to be on the network country's original CSC for that - I never had it working with my Hong Kong S10+ either). But again, Google Pay is good, and call recording can't be done with Wi-Fi calling on anyway. And the built-in call blocking service, Hiya?, isn't available.
EDIT: Wi-Fi Calling disappeared for me with the Android 12 update, anyway, even on XEU...
Good luck!
I just tried Cube ACR Recorder and while the recordings are heavily compressed, I think it does the job.
Can anyone chime in about the telephoto lens problem?
I just purchased this samsung phone after ages (been using xiaomi and other phones) but unfortunately it does not offer call recording in my country. Can anyone please share if they were able to change the CSC code to one with working call recording (indian csc maybe I have seen some indian youtubers mentioning how to enable call recording) .....also please guide me how exactly do you change the csc code on this phone any tutorial would be very helpful thanks.
Quick Update: I was able to enable call recording by changing my CSC through sam fw tool there is a catch tho, as soon as I change my csc to anything non-native the galaxy store starts spamming "get recommended apps from your provider" ads after every few minutes and there is no way to block notifications from galaxy store (the option to disable notifications is greyed out) so I had to revert back.
How about completely disabling the galaxy store then?
Do some people actually use that bloatware for real? That was like the first thing I debloated
Here you can read how I enabled native call recording feature on my Samsung device
Should work on most modern day Samsung devices out there
Enjoy

Galaxy Store is required because samsung apps (camera,themes,keyboard,cloud backup etc) are not available in play store they update via galaxy store disabling galaxy store would make sense only on a custom rom which unfortunately isnt available for my device A33 and I am not rooted either. I came back to samsung after many years on ios, miui and other UI and I am baffled by how polished One UI has become I can never go back to MIUI (it was a torture with all its bugs that never get fixed) or any other User interface.....I can literally customize anything from icons,font, system wide theming to even the statusbar icons (using good lock app) back in the days we had to use xposed modules to modify statusbar icons. Lack of native call recording is my only gripe with ONE UI at the moment.
Hi my default region is dubai. For call recording option i changed my fw to indian fw. Actually i got the call recording option. Similarly im having good battery life better than before. Only catch was samsung pay replace for Samsung pay mini. I think its better to switch full fw than only cse
So is it possible to change csc in a33 using samfw? to enable call recording?
Yes,
Have you not read the other posts?
I was due a replacement phone - so I decided on the A33 5G (sim free, untouched by any network provider)
.
Bought it direct from the Samsung Store online, paid £319.99 - £10 cheaper than most other stores online, i didnt want a contract, didnt want finance, just went hassle free and paid for it outright and it was direct from manufacturer.
I would usually require the most powerfull device available with the most freedom. and least restrictions, lets say a feature packed, flagship for a power user.
Well... my needs have changed and wow, for a mid entry device - the A33 is awesome.
BUT NO Native call recording in the UK.
-----------------------------------------------
I am 100% capable and confident with reprogramming the device if needed, I was a phone technician back in the day, the Beginning of Android changed the game for me and killed any future progression in my career.
Anyhow, can anyone advise - what other features are restriction by laws, location etc etc.
Is there any tools that can scan the firmware, or list all CSCs with their geolocated features etc.
kind regards,
Dan
