How can I re-install the Magisk module? I'm having issues migrating from PlayStore to the Retail versions of the module.This guide will show you how to uninstall the module, if you no longer wish to use it and or you are migrating from the Play Store version to the Retail version of the application and wish to use the correct module.
1. Open Magisk and select the "Modules" from the menu
2. Select the "Recycle Bin" icon from the Total Recall module, in order for it to be completely removed from the resident Magisk modules. Note: You should see an "X" in the Recyle Bin aswell as a warning the module will be uninstalled on the "next reboot".
3. Proceed to Restart your device (or alternatively Power OFF / ON)
4. Upon having rebooted the device, verify from the Magisk Modules page that the Total Recall module is in fact no longer visible / installed
5. Finally, proceed to re-install the latest module from the next guide (link below), for the correct version you require -> either the Play Store or Retail variants of the module.
Install Magisk Module GuideMy device upgraded to Android 10, and I'm no longer licensed?As of Android 10, Google no longer allows an application to acquire the IMEI identifier of the device, for that reason we can no longer validate your old license.

Firstly, Ensure you are on application Version 2.0.82 or above
1. Settings -> About
2. Press on the "Registration ID" section and you will be taken to our website to update your existing license:

Settings -> General -> Update RegistrationMy phone updated to Android 9 (PIE) and I can no longer record both sides of the audio?Some major system changes occurred in the Android 9 update that prevented the call audio stream from being acquired.
In some countries, the manufacturers of various devices have opted to "allow" both sides of the call audio in the system - however, in most cases both sides of the audio is no longer able to be obtained.
However, we have a solution available for rooted devices - which in most cases can overcome this limitation imposed by Android and enable both sides of the call recording audio!

Call Recording
Can you record VOIP calls and or WIFI calls?The Android operating system only offers the standard call audio stream for recording.
However, audio present in VOIP applications, or the phones standard WIFI calling mechanism is not integrated on Android - as these typically vary widely in implementation.I only hear my voice, but not the other caller?On some devices, you may not be able to acquire both sides of the audio for various manufacturer specific reasons.
However, we offer many call recording strategies in our application you can test, which may be able to acquire both sides of the audio.
If nothing appears to successfully acquire both sides of the call audio and your phone is rooted - then we have a special module that may be able to enable both sides of the call audio stream.What are the call recording strategies in your application?Given the wide selection of Android device variants, not all devices can enable both sides of the call audio out of the box. It is also subject to manufacturer limitations, operating system versions and other variables!
We introduced call recording strategies to overcome these limitations on most devices, typically - our call recording app will automatically find the "best" strategy during recording in order to acquire both sides of the call audio.
However, if you find that none of these strategies in the application can acquire both sides of the call audio and your device is rooted - you can try out the rooted recording strategy which has more system privilege to attempt to enable both sides of the call audio.
Rooted Recording Guide
Why can the play store version not acquire the telephone number after the call?- Google policy changes
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9047303
Google now restrict the use of permissions
PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS and READ_CALL_LOGS for
all applications on the Play Store.
With this change, we can no longer automatically obtain
the incoming or outgoing number during a call.
However you can manually set the call details by renaming
the call from the list of recordings. -

General
How can I root my device?Android has literally tens of thousands of manufacturer variant devices and rooting is usually specific to each model and manufacturer.
A method to acquire information on rooting your device can be found on a Google search, by inputting the manufacturer, model and current operating system version.
Eg. "Samsung S9 9.0 root"
Unfortunately, there is no simple universal method to root a device and requires careful guidance based on your device model.What is root and why is `Rooted Recording` required on some devices?A general overview of what "root" is on Android can be best explained here:
WIKI (Rooting Android)
On some devices, both sides of the call audio cannot be acquired from the android system directly,
this is particularly the case as of Android 9.0 due to new security changes in how audio policies are managed on the device.
Rooted recording, on some devices, can overcome this limitation as it's not restricted by the system - due to having elevated privileges and thus allows direct access to the call audio.What root method do you support?We currently support the Magisk root method with our call recording module.
Magisk Root
We currently do not support the SuperSU root method. -
