How to Increase Call Log History on Android
Rooted Android Devices
For rooted Android users, there is a new Xposed module from the developer QBANIN that will get rid of that 500-call limit on devices that are running AOSP-based firmware. Make sure that you have the Xposed framework installed and that Unknown sources is turned on.
Now, let’s get down to business. Open your Xposed Installer app and go to the Download section. Once you’re there look for Unlimited CallLog for LP/MM, it should be at the top of the results. Swipe to the Versions tab and choose the Download button. You will be instructed to tap on the Install button.
Once you’re done with that, don’t forget to turn on the module and then reboot your Android device. After the reboot, you will have an unlimited call log, and you can say good-bye to the 500 limit.
The days of worrying about losing your call log little by little are gone. Why? Because this applies to CyanogenMod’s default phone app, Google Dialer, and the AOSP-based ROMs are also included.
