[Q] Total Recall working on Galaxy Note ?

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.

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.

Call Recorder on Note 5 any suggestions?

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.

Question questions about customization

I'm considering getting an S21 5G or S21 Ultra. Is it normal that there isn't much in terms of modding/rooting/etc for Samsung phones? I don't normally go for things like this.
I like the Nexus 5 and have a V30+ right now. I want to be able to control the phone and modify a few things I don't like about the stock experience.
What kind of situation am I looking at here? Is there a safe and reliable root? Or are things extremely locked down like an iPhone?

Well, as you already noticed the modding/rooting community for the S21 series is not that active (yet?), maybe indeed different to phones like the Oneplus 8 Pro etc...
But still there is a reliably working method for rooting the device, although depending from your location warranty may be void afterwards. And then there is Knox, so rooting will definitely disable some specific Samsung functions (Samsung pay & Safe Folder among them).
If you are interested, there are threads on rooting and TWRP - the forum is presently only one for all S21U topics so things move down the line pretty quickly :
I for myself as a long-time "rooter" decided to go with locked stock ROM and while missing some detailed tweakings things are running pretty nicely so far. One of the things I noticed is that 90% of the things you do with rooting are workarounds to cover the negative effects of rooting - like making Gpay work etc.

Yes, unless there's a solution for the Samsung Knox issues, rooting will void your warranty. FWIW, the stock software has so much customization options that even after 2 months of using it I still haven't got hold of all the customizations. Yes, you might do in OnePlus where the software is quite bland/ featureless but that's not the case with One UI

I'm not worried about warranties. I don't know if I'd ever need the samsung specific things like Samsung Pay. Not sure what Safe Folder is but I guess it's some kind of encryption based file storing? I generally don't use all these mainstream things people like.
I don't really spend time making Google Pay work because I have no use for it. I'll have an occasional issue with an app refusing to operate because of rooting and Magisk Hide doesn't work, but it isn't a big deal.
I like tweaking things like the battery logo (I like having a circle with percentage number inside and not having the extra/stock battery logo up there at the same time). I like to disable certain system icons from the top bar that aren't necessary to be there and just clog it up. I like adding the "clear all" type buttons in the running apps page. I like customizing the behavior of holding the power button so I can reboot, reboot to recovery, or shut the phone off easily.
For example, on my LG V30+ right now I am running the stock rom but rooted it and did things like I described above. Nothing major and don't need Google Pay. The LG app for air conditioners won't run because of my root. My bank app notifies me of root very occasionally but isn't a big deal. Yeah, I don't think my SafetyNet passes, but I don't care.
I am using Xposed, hostless AdAway, No Shutter Sound, Highway Radar and YouTube Vanced as well.

I tend to go through every single setting in a phone before I even start really dailying it . I don't mind it. I like customization. That's great to hear. I do like unrestricted or not very restricted phones as opposed to iPhone style lockdown stuff, though.
I used to consider the OnePlus phones but lately I have been more insistent on not buying things made in China or from Chinese companies as much as possible... for various reasons.

So assuming I don't care about things like warranty and Samsung Pay.. what other drawbacks are there? What would stop me from going this route? I intend on picking it up from Google because they have really good deals and I can even make 0% interest payments. I just have to stick with Fi for 3 months, then I can go back to ATT.
Another concern I have is the size of the phone. It makes me lean towards the S21 5G. I just like the Ultra for the other enhancements.
Thanks to all of you as well for the replies.

I wouldn't get that phone if my intent was to root it. One of the more easily rootable Samsung models probably be a better choice*. If you want a blackhole gravity well to get frozen in time with while you're troubleshooting the root then this is a good choice.
That said stock Samsung's are the most customizable phones there are. Hundreds of free icon packs/themes, the Good Lock family of apps and more. The SSC codec for the Buds+ that seamlessly connect to this model with the propiatory Samsung new 360° audio support.
You can lock it down with PD MDM package disabler and Karma Firewall.
*Also no SD card slot so no dual drive ie data drive; you lose a valuble key feature.
Personally I loathe it's rounded corners/display and it's larger frame to display ratio. It's ugly compared to the Note 10+ or N 20 U; I take either of these over the 21 series any day.
Yeah, I really don't like the 21 series... even at half price I would spurn them.

I just read up on Samsung Pay and it's actually pretty interesting. I may actually try and use that. I would love to not have to pull out my wallet all the time and swipe/insert my bank card. That alone is very enticing.
I don't watch TV and haven't had TV service in ages, but I found out with this phone I'll have access to TV stations without a subscription or any kind of fee. That's pretty cool as an added bonus and I may find some shows I like.

That package disabled is really nice to know about, thanks. That is also something I did on my current phone but I did it through ADB (well, I uninstalled things I didn't want and saved the APK of the app).
I'm pretty sure I can use AdAway and YouTube Vanced without root. I'm currently using an older version of Vanced because newer ones do not work. Mine is from Magisk. I figure it has to do with Vanced on this specific phone and I can probably use some other version on the S21/Ultra.
Not sure what you meant about gravity and about a "valuble key feature". I am aware it has no sd card support, but I've found that I have never had the need for this on my current phone which supports up to 2 TB sd cards.
There is one thing that I doubt I'll be able to do which I've done on my V30+... I have the stock phone app modified to have a built-in recording feature. One press and I record calls with no notification beeps or anything stupid like that. After the call ends it prompts me to listen now or later. It saves the recording automatically as a file, based on the settings I've already configured. I can turn this on and off whenever I want during the call and if I turn it on before the call is answered, the app automatically waits until the call is connected to enable call recording. It records both sides in clear quality whether or not it's using the speaker or regular mode.
Is there a shutter sound on the S21? If so, is there a way to disable it without root?

I just come over to the S21 Ultra from Xiaomi. I loved how you could theme the Xiaomi. I tried a few themes from the Samsung store but nothing would change all the icons. A real miss match and it looked terrible. Maybe I never searched hard enough well anyway I downloaded Good Lock and some modules from the Samsung store. It has some good customisations and it changes all icons to the same style and hides icons from status bar. Not sure if this is what your after but I knew when I got this phone there would not be much development on it at the start. Actually not to fussed about rooting at the moment. Also aodNotify as I missed the notification light. Moved away from Chinese phones myself. Here's a couple of pics if this is the sort of thing that your after.
Hope this helps

Congrats on leaving Chinese brands. I'm also making effort to buy things not made in China as much as possible as well. So Taiwan, Japan, USA, etc...
I don't usually do the whole custom icon set thing on phones, but I am aware that's a big thing so I understand why that would be frustrating when you can't find one you like. The most theming I've done is choose one I like (color wise) from some LG app I had on the phone which worked well.
Other small changes may count as theme changes in some ways, but it wasn't the intention.. it was mostly for functionality.
Thanks for the info.
Also I have researched a few things...
1. AdAway. It can now be used without root, which I didn't know. It can be run on S21 variants. BUT, you have to run an AdAway VPN to do it.. so might as well find another method for ad blocking. My friend showed me a screen on the S20 where there is a "private DNS" option. I could block ads that way.
2. Vanced doesn't need root. It actually is arguably better without root because you only have to set the app to open YT links and it doesn't replace the YT app. Right now I can't use auto app updates because it won't let me pick and choose which to not auto-update and one of the ones I would need to stop from auto updating is the stock YT app.
3. From research online and after asking Google about the variant they sell, you can disable shutter sound in the settings (which is actually better than what the LG V30+ supports.. a huge surprise).
4. Don't think I can use Xposed. There MAY be some bootleg way with partial functionality or something but I don't know for sure.
Can I (without root) remove the stock battery icon and replace it with a circle and percentage? Like this:
I also want to enable the seconds counter and add the date.. I want to do all that stuff, if possible.. that I did there.. including hcanging the size of fonts and capitalization of fonts in the top middle area.
Main thing I want is the seconds counter.
A friend showed me this from his s20:
So that's cool that he can change the icons displayed. I used Gravity Box or Xposed.

Not so much I cant find what I like it's just they don't change system wide like Xiaomi did. So I end up having half custom and half stock and looks crap with all the different colors in the folders. At least Good Lock manages to change them system wide which I don't quite understand why Samsung theme store will change maybe fifty percent. Anyway got it to how I like it.
With Good Lock you can remove status bar icons but no customisation with battery indicators. That pic is a pic of Good Lock the one you posted. I went with the Hong Kong version with Snapdragon which you can unlock bootloader in development options. Don't think you can on US Snapdragon versions. Here in OZ we only had the Exynos. Got the 16/512 Snapdragon for $1550 AUD. Same phone with Exynos just over $2200 here.
AdAway have not really missed it. Had it on my previous phone and maybe I'm not taking any notice of adds and just enjoying the phone. Never use Vanced. Cant see any setting in camera to turn off shutter sound but you can silence it in volume controls. Haven't looked into Xposed yet.
Don't know what model your going to get but there is root and TWRP available for ultra models. But soon as you flash a boot image you will trip Knox and lose some features of Samsung apps. Mainly Samsung pay I believe and warranty if you buy local. Still sussing this out myself. Have a old Tab S that I rooted and my first Android was a Samsung Galaxy Gio (GT-S5660)
Overall extremely happy with this phone.

Am a fan to customise my phone as I want,
And if I pay so much money we should have the right, and possibility to choice and use ..
Sorry for my English.

Well, I bought one from Google. If there are serious issues I don't want to put up with I will return it.
As long as I can disable the stock battery icon I would think I could get an app which has a custom battery icon.
I hope it's possible as well to do vertical listing of apps in app screen instead of having the left/right pages.

yea rooting is possible and safe if right software is used but might affect warranty i guess

If anyone remembers the whole Carrier IQ thing, do you know if there's something like this on the S21 Ultra?
System UI Tuner doesn't seem to work as far as showing seconds in the status bar clock.
I would love to be able to customize the recently used apps section in the apps drawer. Either remove it completely or set static apps or somehow customize a blacklist or whitelist or some other variables to determine what goes there.
When I use jetaudio+ it puts a notification with details in the menu from the top. I can't swipe it away and it stays there even after I close the app and remove it from app list. I found out I have to drag down on it to expand it to be slightly larger and then an "x" appears. These "x" buttons would appear by default on apps like this on my old phone and they were a little larger relative to the rest of the UI as well. Would love to be able to tweak this functionality.
I want a feature I had on my LG V30+ where based on my GPS location I can enable or disable WiFi. Meaning, the same as hitting the wifi icon in the quick toggles based on entering a certain location or leaving that location. That way when I get home my phone will automatically globally turn on wifi and when I leave it twill automatically turn it off so it isn't hunting for networks.
Another feature in the same section was something which allowed me to have the phone remain unlocked when paired with a specific device. I want the phone to stay unlocked when paired with my car instead of having to unlock it all the time with fingerprint.
I would like to be able to scroll the apps list vertically, like normal.. instead of this left and right pages stuff.
I want a battery indicator setup where there is a percentage inside of a circle and the circle is representative of the percentage. Not finding an app option that has what I want. Does anyone know of a way to do this or an app?
I also want to make pressing the home button in the bottom center of the screen do a full open of the bar from the top.
On my current phone I've also found some way to keep the alarm clock icon from Alarm Clock Xtreme without having a persistent notification of the next alarm. Not sure how on this.

MacroDroid!
the answer to toggles based on location. A lot of features there to look into. Very nice.

MacroDroid seems fine for the WiFi toggle but it doesn't keep the phone from locking. At first it was keeping the screen on but then it just did nothing. I want the screen to still shut off if necessary but not require thumbprint or code or anything to unlock, while paired with phone.

Is it possible to successfully record calls with Android 10 / One UI 2.5 without root and without changing CSC?

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.

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?
