I have a working SecPhone.apk flashable zip That is confirmed working on most TW Roms.

Be aware that volume and sound mods and hacks may cause the record option to fail or lock up the call screen so please use the ones I have included below which work with Call Recording Mod.

This is awsome. Works perfect i just try.. Can you post zip with orginal SecPhone.apk to flash in case somthing gos wrong..? thanks

---

I installed this on Deodexed AMDL and it is working great. To norbarb, the original file is located on the main thread that is linked in the OP. Thanks to the OP for this MOD. I havn't used the volume boost yet, I have not need it.

I am on a rooted S4 Active and having an issue with crashing after the first phone call after a reboot whether I record or not.
I copied over the APK from ATT_Odex_Deodex_SecPhone.apk flashable zip to system/app after renaming the original SecPhone.APK and SecPhone.odex.
Like I mentioned, the first call works fine, whether I attempt to record or not. After I try to dial a number again, i get the message stating "Unfortunately, Contacts has stopped" and I won't be able to make the call. I will however receive incoming calls.
During any call, pressing the record button does not indicate any recording progess, i.e. the timer shows 0:00.
I'm surprised that the Active APKs differ from the regular S4 APKs. Could this just be a build.prop issue?

You might want to post this on the main thread (posted in the OP), it seems to get more traffic, but it is possible that APKs could differ, but I'm not sure. You could always compare the "stock APK" listed on the main thread to the original APK in your phone (hopefully you made a backup) and see how much they differ. Also, make sure the permissions are set correctly on the modded SecPhone.APK. I can state for certain that (so far) I have not had one issue with this. There are options I would like to see added, but for what it offers, it works well on my phone.

Thanks jrkruse. FYI, I posted a response to your q in your VZW thread, but since you do check in over on this ATT thread too, I will only reply here in the future.
I am on stock 4.2.2, since I am unable to load any roms (bootloader is still locked on the AT&T S4 Active, aka SGH-1537). I know this is the Verizon forum, but I think this is the original thread for record mod. Anywway, I am rooted so I do have access to the System\Apps folder with the ability to add\remove APKs. I've been successful in making other mods like the dark dialer/contacts/mms but at the moment I am bone stock. So at least I know it's possible. That's why I was wondering if this was just a build.prop issue or something.

Thanks, buddy! The Call-Record-Button-on-call-screen works great on the Canadian S4, stock, rooted, odex. It records loud & clear without using any volume boost mods, both on microphone as well as the loudspeaker. I've been successfully using CallRecorder with all my previous Samsung phones, but the current version having no support (yet) for the SGH-I337(M) is quite broken. This comes as a needed and useful addition to the plethora of all other optimizations I already have. :good:
On the other hand, I have noticed another post from somebody asking for a way to revert to the original state (should something go wrong). There are two ways of going back to the original state:
1. Before doing any changes, inspect/open up the zip you intend to flash (just so you'd know which files need backup). The "system" folder from within the flash-able zip preserves the same structure as the one in the phone. Now you know which files will be replaced, in other words you also know which files you'll need to backup. When choosing this method you should never forget to set the proper files permissions once the files have been restored - before rebooting.
2. Using the provided zip, make you own zip flash-able file - intended to restore your phone to the original state. Replace the modified (downloaded) files in the "system" folder for the original ones you previously backed up. Don't touch anything else within the zip. Also, if you're odexed, don't forget to include the original SecPhone.odex in the "system/app" folder in case you've previously deleted it.
EDITED Jul.15.2013:
During an INCOMING CALL, if the loudspeaker is used/activated BEFORE the the call recorder, then a recording for that conversation would no longer be possible - hitting the call recorder button will do nothing at all. As far as I'm concerned the only way to "reset" the call recorder and be able to record again, would be to (1) end the current conversation AND (2) toggle the screen On/Off. This issue seems to be occurring only for incoming calls - following the same testing steps for outgoing calls shows no negative impact on call recording. I have tested it with screen lock set On and then Off and also answered the incoming-test-calls while the screen was locked, and then unlocked and the issue was always the same for all 4 scenarios. I'll update this note if I'll find a work around. Please post updates/comments about this particular behavior.

Great advice, plus their is a "revert back to stock" zip available on the main thread listed in the OP. It obviously isn't the same APK that was replaced on your phone, but it should look and work the same.

OP updated with Revert To Stock Zip

Happy to report that the Call Recorder mod (menu button option) works beautifully on my Sprint GS4! (Stock, odex, rooted MF9). Other mods running at the same time are the v7.11.13 ktoonsez kernel, Xposed framework + Tweakbox + Nottach, and Viper4Android v2.2.1.0. Thank you so much!

---

Working with Kuban just fine with odex in menu button but ill see if the other option might work.
Ok just tried both odex zips and both are confirmed working with kuban rom. TY so much for your work!

Have you tried testing for incoming calls/loudspeaker as I have mentioned here, down the bottom - the edited section? Do you experience the same issues? I'm also on stock, odex, rooted.

I tried out the revert to stock and that APK also caused crashes on my S4 Active (AT&T) after making one successful phone call. Anybody have thoughts on what the differences between the S4 and S4 Active APK could be?

Updated Zips
Updated All Flashable Zips (Cleaned Code;Worked on Distortion in uplink voice)
Hopefully This will help also I have found if you turn on noise reduction in the call settings this greatly helps on the uplink voice

Well, thanks for the update but the issue previously described (not being able to use the recorder if the loudspeaker was previously activated) is still there.

I have no problem at all with the loud speaker. I can have the loud speaker on in an incoming call press the record button and all works good and vice versa i can press the record button first on incoming call then loud speaker and it still works fine. Are you using any volume or sound mods or xposed framework of any kind this is all that I can think that might be causing the problems you describe. Have you cleared the phone data in settings/applications?
