Is there a rom that opens every freakin' option? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Is there a rom that has every option available to the user regardless of what country they live in? I think a lot of people flash custom roms to be able to use their phones to the fullest. I.e. to get everything their money paid for. One option that tends to get left out based on country is 'call recording'. The concern seems to be the legality of recording phone calls, but shouldn't that fall on the person using it?

It is this way for the protection of peoples privacy.
That said, I use Call Recorder - ACR, and it works fine.

Free call recording software?

I generally have no interest in recording my phone calls, but sometimes when I make calls to certain entities (for example, AT&T) they make promises to me that they do not end up keeping, and the issue turns into one of my word against theirs. I was hoping to find out whether or not anyone can recommend a free call recording software that works on the Kaiser. Thanks in advance.

Well Sherpa, thanks so much for your reply. I should have mentioned this in my first post, but one of the things that I'd read when SEARCHING (believe it or not, I do that before I post) was that the restriction may lay in the OS. I was hoping, although I admit it was a long shot, that in the last few months, since WM6.1 had come along, that perhaps a viable call recording option had been released.
The limitation is not in the OS, it is in the hardware.
The OS does not have access to the phone's audio stream.

The phone doesn't just stop powering on after you cancel your service.
There are some illegal things you could do to bring it to another carrier... you can always use Data on wifi. I have read of some people using it for a simple PDA/Media player when they are done with it.
I for one am 100% happy with sprints customer service and cell service. Updating the phone could have happened quicker, but hey what do you do.
They have yet to do me wrong. Best cell company I have ever worked with and a heck of a good price.
When I left Verizon and told them I was going to Sprint and told them the price, the retentions department didn't even put up a fight because they knew they couldn't touch Sprints price.
EDIT:
You may be able to use Google Voice over Wifi to place calls, but I am not sure. I doubt you would be able to recieve them since the registered phone number would be disconnected.
And my tethering with Spint is 3 times faster than it was with Verizon, and I acutally paid verizon the extra 15 a month for it....huge waste.
you could use skype to make calls over wifi
otherwise you will just have a PDA

That's a no-go Ghost Ryder. I'm currently service-less and Google Voice won't route over Wifi for calls, SMS will however. Now, if you set up the proper SIP accounts, you can use your Google Voice account through those SIPs to make and receive calls via Sipdroid. Google will pull up how-to's.
As for those lesser than legal matters, that's what I'm about to do myself. Ever done it first hand?

Nope, but it doesn't look too complicated from what I have seen.
Depending on who you flash too MMS may recieve but not send, and Data may/not work.
Seems like some poeple are using better cut to route proxy info stuff through opera to achieve data.
I went through the same type of thing when I went from my touch pro to the hero. I still wanted to use my touch pro as a dedicated gps since at the time there werent any decent ones available on android. anyways, I had then went and set up a similar thing for making calls via the wifi using GV, sipgate, and I believe it was fring....I forget. Basically I would go on my phone browser to google voice, initiate the call from the website, then fring would ring on my touch pro and finish connecting the call. lawl, I just set up my brother's fiance's phone to do that since she is going to Germany for the summer this weekend...so she and my bro can talk for free (though she needs wifi which her dorm over there will have)
Ya, I definitely hear ya about Sprint.....it's funny, I get so so service in my house, yet about 2 miles down the road is a sprint store and as soon as I pull out onto the main drag BAAAAAM insta full signal >.<
As annoyed as I am I will not go back to verizon......way to rich for my blood LOL.
Here is a quick how to for the easiest way to accomplish the free calls thing via wifi. It's a little dated but the info is still good me thinks. The only thing is that you'd have to go to google.com/voice on your phone and (thankfully having all contacts synced to google) initiate the call/sms from there. To get it so you can actually dial out from the phone would require ALOT more configuring and can be annoying. So try this first, make sure it works and then if you want to get more jiggy with it, then figure out the whole "SIPSORCERY.com" thingy.
Good luck

Thank You i am going to try and run the sipdroid and google voice idea i kinda wish there was a app too pick up a wi fi signal with increase strenght so i can use my phone everywhere instead of just home and local buisnesses lol. If you have any ideas to pick up further signals or wifi everywhere let me know also if you have and more ideas on the talk for free let me know thank you.
no dice there my friend haha, here is a thought. think of the phone as a cordless phone for home also, just keep in mind that the audio quality isn't going to be 100%. There will be a delay, there will be some compression artifacts, but hey at least its a free alternative to home phone right?
EDIT: being in a strong wifi environment will DEFINITELY help with quality as it has more umph to work with
i noticed when i read the how to guide u posted thaqt airplane mode will disable the cdma radio did it work so i can keep my battery lol?
heh, not certain. like I said, it's dated stuff not sure how to have only wifi on.

Well I'm actually not switching carriers. I was on a family plan, then a divorce hits, and everyone is refusing to pay the delinquent bill - point being, my phone is tied to that account and can't be used on any other account until the bill is paid. So, I'm hoping to sprinkle some voodoo magic on my Hero, then slap it on a new account with the same carrier.
I dont see why you dont convert the phone over to cricket service (if you have it) and just pay 35 dollars for talk and web. I mean minus well right?

Can I record my phone calls

I’m not interested in whether it’s legal or not. I’m not going to use it in court or anything like that. It’s for my own personal notes.
Does anyone know of a working app to record in and out going phone calls on my sprint touch running Incubus26Jc's RLS11? Thanks.

I have a bad news for you I've tried at least 5 apps and neither of them worked a few of them allowed me to record but as soon as the call was answeared they muted the speaker so I couldn't hear the person I was speaking to. Anyway search for phone recording apps in the market maybe you will have more luck. Of course if you find a working one give me a shout
Has anyone found a working phone call recording app,yet? Actually I would be happy even with one that allows me to record only me side of conversation.

[Q] HTC Hero ROM to disable radio

Hi guys I have done some searching but havent been able to find anything so I apologize if this is out there already. I also apologize if this is in the wrong area.
I got a different phone and I want to use my Hero for music, videos etc. I am looking for a ROM that would allow me to disable the baseband radio so I can conserve battery life as I no longer need to make calls. Any suggestions?
Thanks
The best you'll get is either using TB to freeze the phone app, or put in airplane mode.
BANG! from my shooter...
If you download any Cm6,Cm7 or aosp rom could do this. Open up the phone dialer and dial
*#*#4636#*#*
A menu will open up. From that menu choose phone settings. Then scroll down to the bottom of the menu and you will see "Turn off radio".
Hope this helps.

I am in London. It's raining like hell and humid, don't be too envious. I have the radio turned off on the phone and only wifi enabled. My Sprint phone number has been integrated and is now my Google Voice number, so all my texts/voicemails go to GV app. My question is, if I send and receive texts via wifi on GV app, will sprint still charge me for international text messages? The radio and mobile data are definitely off. Thanks.
I have a very stripped down ROM that I might get around to posting tomorrow. Might put the phone apk back in, but have radio off by default.
If you have the radiooptions binary, you can disable the radio using it. It should be in /system/bin/radiooptions

I don't think so being your on wifi and all things connected to sprint are shut down. But if you want to be safe just read upon Google voice and pricing for text and call's internationally. Also give sprint a call to be on the safe side. I can't answer that for a100% but I'm like 99.9% sure if the radio is off you should be good. By the way if you don't mind if you see anything worth a snap shot take a few. And if you also don't mind sharing them in a pm that would be pretty smooth. I wouldn't mind having a few pics of london. Thanks and I hope you enjoy the trip.

Can receive and send texts for free using GV!
16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.
16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok
16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question
16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.
16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?
16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.
16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.
16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.
16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.
16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.
16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.
16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.
16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?
16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.
16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.
16:48:39 : Daisy Y: Yes, I have put the note on your account.

There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.

[Q] Windows Phone 8.1: Call Recording

Does anyone know, if the windows phone 8.1 will support active background tasks for in call recording?
I am so desperate for a decent call recorder like for the old windows mobile 6.X, android or symbian. IMHO this lack of support for that feature is the killer reason, why many people are not buying one windows phone device.
Any news on this topic would be appreciated.

Because men can use it, what a strange thing to sayy, anyhow,
Call recording laws would affect everyone, not just one gender. In the uk as long as one party is aware of recording taking place its legal, ie unless you have a court order you can't listen to someone else's phone call. Which would allow call recording software. However, wp may not allow a sandboxed app to have access to this feature. I also doubt very much its a must have killer feature. Yes it would be nice but its a non essential feature for average users.
As far as I can tell direct recording of a call on the phone itself isn't supported by iOS either. All Apps that support it there require you to add a special service to the phone call as in a conference call so that the recording can be done there.

Yep, iOS doesn't support it at all (unless you jailbreak it, but the only tweak has a voice message in the beginning of the call to inform the caller that he's being recorded - due to legal problems). So from the "major" 3 OSes, only android supports call recording. And I doubt it's officially supported by the OEMs/Google, it's more likely because android is a way more open OS.
And that is the reason why in don't buy a WP Phone.
I register calls with my Androïd device not to spy people but to register important informations i can't write during the call since i am driving.
Be efficient not suspicious.
Because wou may kill anybody with a knife the kives are forbidden ? Stupid.
And so i don't appreciate Microsoft decides for us what is right and what is wrong. :laugh:

The law is the law you know...in my country you have to notify the all parties involved in the call that you are recording it, and you can easily get in jail if you record calls without express permission from all parties, every time you record.
and your analogy with the knife is kinda stupid: if you go outside your house with a knife you are likely to get in jail for a few days too.
Microsoft didn't decide anything: they obey the laws.
So so Google doesn't obey the laws? Why they didn't sue it if it's illegal? windows phone is not so popular due to these weird decisions from MIcrosoft.that's why I'm sticking with Android all the time.
It is written already that there is no Android Call recorder on any phone, but there r apps that can do this, because on Android u can do whatever u like. 4 me personally, this feature isn't something I cannot live without, and I am using my brains to remember stuff.

All,
Please do not argue on here. Responding to 7 month old posts and beginning arguments over it isn't constructive in the least bit. Yes, in some countries call recording is illegal. If there's an accompanying store app that allows for it in a specific region, then that's fine. If you can't get it on your phone, then I'm sorry you can't.
The answer is: It's legal on a country by country basis. There's no need to yell back at each other over the legitimacy of it. As even certain Android Roms have call recording functionality within them, it's fine. It's not breaking any copyright laws.
If posts continue to be non constructive, this thread will be closed .

Those apps are only for wp 7x not for wp8.
When the phone detecting a recordingapp during a
call the mic just shutsdown.
Data Compliance
In the UK, we absolutely MUST have call recording and the facility to archive an entire time / date stamped SMS text thread IF the phone is used for customer contact in the public sector. As things stand, WP8.1 is not compliant as a managed device and, if the aforementioned services are used for business purposes, it could render the organisation subject to prosecution. Admittedly, some organisations in the UK don't realise their exposure. In the UK, we can record voice calls all day long as one party is aware. If both parties are aware, the voice recording becomes submissable as court evidence. How does the US get around data compliance with WP 8.1 on voice calls and SMS when it's illegal to record phone calls in the US without consent?
I don't know if WP is used in the public sector yet. I think that's still mostly Blackberries (for official use, I mean), honestly.
Also, much of the US is one-party consent. The problem arises when one of the parties is in a place where it's two-party consent. Thus, in the US, virtually every official call begins with a recorded message (before a human picks up) stating that the call may be monitored or recorded.
Back to the technical stuff, the only way I know of to do call recording on WP8 right now is via a conference call to a recorder, or possibly by using something like a headset (wired or Bluetooth) that records the audio traffic in each direction. The OS itself doesn't allow it. This could presumably be fixed with sufficiently-high-privilege homebrew, but so far as I know nobody has even attempted to get started on that yet.

The Truecaller app can listen to incoming calls and then detect the number, used special permission from Microsoft but its install on the phone storage
Hmmm... anybody with a (working) Samsung phone want to take apart (or just extract; I can do the RE) the Truecaller app?
