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.

Dear XDA members,
I really need all your help. I've searched a lot, but there isn't an answer I'm looking for. And some things are bit too technical for me as I'm new to android. So I'm trying to set up recording my calls on my S3 Mini. First of all, I've tried every single free app that is on Google Play Store. And with those apps, I've also tried all the settings, trust me. All I could hear was my voice. My opponents voice was very very low. Lower than whispering so I could hardly hear a thing.
So recently I researched and Rooted my phone via VRoot. Went flawlessly. However, now it's not recording at all! For example, I made a call. After the call ends I go to the recording app and I see that it shows me its recorded. However, its actually not recorded. Its just a file created which is 32 bytes. No more. Sometimes 66+- Bytes. So it doesn't record at all anymore after I rooted it. I've tried with so many recording apps and still doesn't work at all.
Is the call recording feature blocked? If yes, is there any way to unblock it? I do not want to install a custom ROM, so please that answer is out the book. I'd like to keep the stock and enable automatic call recording. All answers are welcome please!
Thanks in Advance.
Call recording is disabled due to some law restrictions, so you need to modify yourself secphone.apk or download modified one or install xposed framework and call recording module. Guides are here, search.

Thank's a lot for the quick reply. I'll check out those options and give them a shot, starting with xposed framework. Then report back. Thanks again.
EDIT UPDATE: Thanks a heap bro! I didn't know I could use xposed framework to enable call recording. I thought the exposed framework only worked on ROM's. Because I flashed a call recording enabler tar file on my Note 3. Thanks again. Works 100%. Love Ya! (no homo).
@Gw|n I need a little quick help please. Apart from having secPhone.APK edited or having the recording module. Is there another way to automatically record calls? This is due to the fact that I keep forgetting to click the record button when having important calls. Is there something I can flash into my phone, so I can have 2-way clear recording sound. Then I can install any app available on PlayStore to allow automatic recording.
I don't know, I've never tried other apps. But these third party apps might have problem with direct recording.
I'm always on the road for my job while picking up phone calls with order information, so I need a phone that is able to record both ends so straight things out when I can't remember all the client says. I tried on G3 and all call recording app wouldn't work, so I would like to ask here if any g4 owner has luck having an app that works? I looked googled this issue and found a page where someone says boldbeast recorder works, if anyone has this app installed on their phone, can you respond here so I can decide on whether I can work with this phone?
I us an app called Automatic Call Recorder. I've been using it for a few weeks without a hicup. It saves all my call audio to G-Drive. It has options for other cloud storage as well. So far, I recommend it.
Call Recorder by skvalex. It's on the play store...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder
just tried and it works great.. no additional setup and it records both sides.
I haven't tried BoldBeast but from what I've read it looks like it works, but you won't know for sure until you try. I found this:
http://www.boldbeast.com/forum/topic1033-lg-g4-tmobile-lgh811-call-recorder.html
I use CallRecorder by Skvalex.
Auto setup for the LG G4 when installing.
Great customization & developer support.
I've been using CallRecorder for about 3 years.
Records both sides flawlessly :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441643
I have used boldbeast and using the recommended settings from their forum, it does record both sides. No root required either.
I am looking for an app to do the same. Looking into the suggestions above... On Call Recorder, what version should I use on G4 rooted... V1.6.8.1 or v2.2.8? And I don't need that app in the 22nd post do I? Says it's a Root Module for CAF, ALSA and MSM .... ?
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.

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

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
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.

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)
Guide: How to use OnePlus dialer with call recording in OnePlus 8T/Nord
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...
forum.xda-developers.com
Note: so that OnePlus contacts do not give problems, they do not grant permissions for the "call log"
The latest version of the OP dialer is not compatible so I tried many old versions ( i exactly not know which version is this), but I have attached the file taken from some website.
The dialer is not opening in app drawer; BUT IT IS WORKING WHEN U MAKE A CALL AND U CAN TOGGLE DIALER BY TAPPING PHONE ICON IN STATUS BAR during outgoing/incoming call. During dialing u have to call from Google dialer and OP dialer will automatically take on.
Instructions:
- Install app provided in post (Phone_InCallUI.apk)
- True caller may affect the function
Working for incoming and outgoing calls no announcement during call record.
Access call in myfiles /Audio in .awb format.
U need a player for that files by google player will work.
I tried in Indian version OP 10 pro; It may work with other OP device shipped with Google comm suite.

Sorry , Delete --- double post
What u have done? This app will work in background. When u call from Google dialer it will toggle one plus dialer with all option including naive record option.u can change(dialer screen- Google or OP) from notification too.

Hey guys, any chance someone could share the Stock OP dialer ? Or the one from the chinese version of Oppo ? I tried extracting it from ColorOS (OPPO X5 Pro) 13 beta 2 however was not able to do so. Got stuck because of a Python error. So please, if anyone can share the latest OP stock dialer from 2210 or from OPPO Find X5 that would be much appreciated.
Dialer is coming when in/out call but no call recording.
Anyone has same issue?
This is the phone dialer I'm using or is the list the Google one I'm not sure?
Either way both dialers launch at the same time and call recording works perfectly. I also use skvalex to do all my call conversions etc and management.
