Call Recorder app no longer works after OS update

Applications
#1

Ever since updating to 4.4.0.58 Vanha Rauma this app doesnt open. I found it using the Storeman app incase anyone was wondering.

After reading the comments for the app in storeman, i found this comment but dont know how to apply the fix:

Disable sailjail in /usr/share/applications/harbour-callrecorder.desktop

if anyone can help me get this app working I would GREATLY appreciate it! I know how to use the built in call recording feature in sailfish, but its not ideal (plus i cant figure out where the recorded call files are actually kept)

Thanks!!!

I cant believe it, but i actually figured it out myself.

i used a text editing app tinyedit to edit the file harbour-callrecorder.desktop (located in /usr/share/applications) and added to the end of the file:

[X-Sailjail]
Sandboxing=Disabled

then saved it to my Documents folder. Then i downloaded ToeTerm and used the command devel-su to run as root, then I used the command: cp harbour-callrecorder.desktop /usr/share/applications

It replaced the file, and now it works great! Hopefully this helps someone else out here.

I have recently accidentally record one call with original OS function and it worked great. No changes needed.

I’m glad you fixed it yourself.

Could you please tell me what device do you have?
I have a Xperia 10 II and I can’t use call recorder, because mic stops working after recording an outgoing call:

I have an xperia 10 plus, and sometimes ot doesnt record both sides of the phone call also, but it seems random whenever it wants to work properly or not. Also, I LOVE my sailfish phone, the price of the phone and price of Sailfish X was worth every penny! In the future if I have a problem with an app, I will try the same fix

edit: does anyone know where the recorded call files are kept when using the built in call recording feature? I know how to display and play the recorded calls, but cant seem to find the files themselves

The recorded call files are in ~/.local/share/system/privileged/Phone/CallRecordings

Hi, I installed callrecorder-0.7.4-3 on Xperia 10 III with Sailfish_OS-Jolla-4.5.0.25-xqbt52. I need a callrecorder with automatic recording of every phone conversation, because I carry the phone in a bag and connect via bluetooth headphones
After the first installation, the app initially crashed after launch. I read in this forum and added

The callrecorder then started normally but did not record any calls. I decided to uninstall it and reinstall it, but it gave me the messages below:

[defaultuser@Xperia10III Downloads]$ devel-su
Password:
[root@Xperia10III Downloads]# ls

harbor-callrecorder-0.7.4-3.aarch64.rpm
[root@Xperia10III Downloads]# rpm -e harbor-callrecorder-0.7.4-3.aarch64.rpm
error: package harbor-callrecorder-0.7.4-3.aarch64.rpm is not installed

Then I reinstall it, but it gives me a message:

[root@Xperia10III Downloads]# rpm -ivh harbor-callrecorder-0.7.4-3.aarch64.rpm
Verifying… ################################ [100%]
Preparing… ################################ [100%]
package harbor-callrecorder-0.7.4-3.aarch64 is already installed
[root@Xperia10III Downloads]#

What can I do or configure to make the app or native callrecorder automatically record phone calls?

@liya, WRT …

… please note this message; more details are provided by this thread linked there.

P.S.: I don’t know if not using rpm makes a difference here, in other cases it definitely does (negatively); IIRC Call Recorder has (had?) special packaging issues.

Is your Recording daemon active (In Settings → Recording daemon → Active)? Can you activate it? If not set up following link:
devel-su ln -s /usr/lib64/systemd/user/harbour-callrecorderd.service /usr/lib/systemd/user/harbour-callrecorderd.service
After that you should be able to activate the recording daemon and the calls should be recorded automatically.

With the given link and activation it worked. Thanks!
