I'm currently running ICS Rocket ROM V12.
I'm using Cyberon Speed Dial for Voice Dialing (no data is a must)
Speed Dial does not use the bluetooth speaker for voice recognition. It uses the on-board mic instead. This doesn't work for me since my phone is in my pocket while driving.
I've read a lot of forums stating that this was broken in ICS, of course others are claiming that it works fine.
So here are my options:
1.) Move to a GB ROM, at this point I could move to the Choice Dialer app which I preferred anyway
2.) Move to another ICS/JB ROM. Does anyone know if the CM9 based ROMs show this behavior? Or any specific ROM suggestions?
3.) Try to find a different app. Cyberon makes a different app, but I'm not convinced that it'll work. There aren't many other players in the non-data voice dialing apps.
Suggestions?
Okay, I bought a bluetooth headset and when pressing the call button it does nothing.
I am actually trying to write an app using the Gmate (enables bluetooth GSM phone calls) to make calls.
For this I would like my app to start upon pressing the call button.
I have tried the following:
-Use remapping apps (does nothing)
-Enable voice in framework (not possible in android 4.3)
-Using mediabutton intent (does not enable call button)
-Reading the android source. Only found that telephone uses something like IBluetoothPhoneHeadset.Stub. I tried to include this but that wasn't possible.
The only three options I can still think of are:
-cross-compiling a bluetooth library and using this to read bluetooth input.
-Create custom intents in android source and then either recompiling android rom or update.zip.
-Edit android telephony source.
Since all these options take a lot of time and the new android version will be released soon I decided to post this question.
Perhaps somebody knows a quick fix?

Thanks for reading and I really hope someone can help me.
Is it possible to find such a program for wp8 ? This is the only thing i miss at this OS . I use Ativ S interop unlocked
It's not *supposed* to be possible. However, I'm sure that with capability-unlock we could create an alternative to the built-in dialer app that would also record calls. This would be a ton of work, though.
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?
