title: Disable noise cancellation for microphone in Android (1.5)?
body: <p>Is it possible to disable noise cancellation for the microphone in Android (specifically 1.5) via code?</p>
  
  <p>I want to create a dumb MicrophoneApp that records all the background noises, but I believe that noise cancellation for the microphone is getting in the way. I know you can do it if you root your phone and edit settings (ie <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6787214" rel="noreferrer">this article</a>), but I want to make it <strong>without</strong> root the phone.</p>
