Hi,
Has anyone managed to get the FM radio software from the Desire to work on a Nexus One? I think it should be fairly easy. If no-one has done it, I might try - is there a convenient place to download the unzipped contents of a desire rom?
Once it is working I intend to try to get FM transmit to work.
Tim
PS: Yes I did search the forum. You can't search for 'FM'; it is too short.
PPS: This all assumes the FM antenna pin from the broadcom chip is connected to the headphone socket. I can't see why they wouldn't do that though.

A lot of people have tried but i dont think they have tried very hard lol. ive been looking into it but i dont have much time nor the expertise to mess with kernels lol.
The devs at google io said fm support will not come officially for the nexus but they said the communities best bet would be to grab the drivers from the incredible's kernel. the kernels for all htc android phones are all open source and are available here:
http://developer.htc.com/
Note: they also said its not guaranteed it will work lol
will donate to you if u can get fm working good luck!
get in touch with paul obrien from modaco.com, he should be able to get you desire rom dump, or antyhing you need.
I will donate big time aswell.

Have fun writing a driver for it.
Also, I'm pretty sure the current N1 OEM 2.1 kernel doesn't even have the possibility of supporting it, driver or not.
Edit: It may be the radio that doesn't support it. Or maybe both the kernel and the radio.
Either way... good luck.
The driver works?
It searches for FM channels and finds them, also plays it.
The sound just never makes it futher

Hey mates, really appreciate that forum. It's very useful. I have an idea... Is it possible to use our Diamond like a transmitter for iPod? Or is there any program that we can use to check the weight of something?
Thanks in advance.
Best wishes.
JS.
Transmitter, how would that be possible without any built in FM transmitter? If that´s what you thought?
How do you want to weight anything with the Dimamond? That´s not possible!
Well there is FM Radio and i thought that it is possible to be done something like this. Well it's just an idea...If someone can realize it it will be very nice I think...
*ironic on*and if the camera-diod would be usable as a flashlight this will be also very nice*ironic off*
It's just not working, the FM Radio is a reciver no transmitter and won't be turned into one by software
(Well: HTC implemented a Multitouch surface and didn't really used it, maybe they also implemented a FM transmiter and don't told us
In this case it would be possible^^)
This is almost a good as the post about a program to charge the battery

I don't want to be bad, but I have a KS20, and the camera LED flash CAN be used as a flashlight (volume down with phone on standby).
Quite a useful feature, also.
I'm changing for a Touch Pro, which doesn't have that!
FM transmitters are technicaly illegal in many european countries, but that is irrelevant since it doesnt have one, and what exactly was you thinking the phone can do to weigh something?

Maybe if someone wrote a little app to monitor the accelerometer as the object was dropped on it... I'm not going to volunteer for that one, though...
Clint
If the display can measure pressure-strength it should be possible to a small degree.
Well I just like the idea, I know that's not possible, but I'm trying to think for useful things without realization.
Hmm, whos going to volunteer their diamond for the max load test on that one then?
Hey guys,
I have attached the FM transmitter CAB, it is the version used on Eten Pocket PC Phones.
I tested it on my phone - it runs but messes up all other sounds such as ring tones and musics etc.
It doesn't do anything probably because the device lacks some transmitter hardware?
It is russian a version but that doesn't matter - you need to install both files to be able to run it.
Wish someone could make it work!!!
Hi all!
I just wondering. Since the desire kernal source is out (link: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/bravo_54b7033a.tar.gz ) are we going to wait for FroYo to see if google got the FM radio working on there, or shall we have a look at the desire rom to see how HTC did it?
+1
Would love to see this working on my N1
It's most likely disabled at a hardware level.
paul (of modaco) has had the desire ROM up and running for sometime on our N1, but the FM radio does not work yet.
froyo is reputed to be bringing the functionality.
please search this sort of thing. if you had gone to the dev section, you would have seen that there are several desire ROMs working, none of which incorporate a functional FM radio.
If YOU would do some reading you'd know he means now we can maybe get some hints on how we can get the DRIVER working for the fm transmitter, not get an app for it.

Okay, sorry if this is incorrect, but i was led to believe that those desrie roms had nothing to do with the true desire kernal, since the source was not released yet...I actually think i remember paul or someone big into the "sense on nexus deal" saying they still NEEDED the kernal to figure out how htc used the fm transmitter.
If i am incorrect, ooops.

I remember reading that the FM radio does not work because Paul needed the Desire Kernel, but there is no guarantee that even with the Desire kernel, the N1 radio will work.
Well if i remember correctly, paul almost got the radio working, it could boot up, but didnt find any stations on scan. It is also correct that he wanted the desire kernal to fix it, but im wondering if anyone else is looking into it apart from him

I have an N1 with the FM Radio installed and it does scan and find stations even showing the text stream across the top of the app but no sound whatsoever :-( As mentioned before a good alternate app if you really want FM radio is RadioTime on the market. Works very well.
Since FroYo is rumored to bring FM radio with it, I guess that no dev will be doing anything about it until FroYo is out and the rumor is confirmed (bringing the radio to N1 users) or denied (and in this case someone might take a look at Desire kernel and "find" the missing audio, if it's not HW-related).
There is little reason to expend valuable time on something that might be fixed within a few weeks when you have other work which is not going to fix itself. Not said in so many words but I get the impression its on the back burner till the solids are in on froyo.
Pfft fm, what I want is an AM radio.
From the list of Froyo features published, it does not look like the N1 will be getting FM radio or transmitter in this release (if it’s even possible)

Why are you looking at the base code and assuming the device specific updates will not include different things?
Any EEs out there know what kind of battery drain is expected from using the FM radio? I know this is dependant on a lot of things, any insight will be nice to know.
I'm mainly interested in FM so I can listen to live NPR broadcast.
A bit more than just playing MP3s. Plus, it depends on the design - specifically on the chip used and on how much power conservation its makers managed to squeeze.

I have to disagree with you on this one Jack, FM circuits are small and once your set it, it should just play, very little is going on. Where as with MP3s there is actual processing going on.
Hello!
Once i found a thread for this subject, if i remember well supercurio made a kernel for this.
I know Search, and Google, but cant find the thread.
Could anyone share a link for this. Or some docs.
I would like to made it with some newer kernel
Thanks
There was no such kernel, it is still not known if re-routing the Jack through software is possible.

The connector poles are on a bus maybe I2C or something else, so if we exchange the address of the gnd and mic in the source, it would working.
Because it is not hardsoldered on any chips output, (that case we could not disable or enable it in FMradio ex...), it is managed via some software (kernel), maybe need to figure out how

The official HTC specs page doesn't list FM radio, but then it doesn't list it as a feature for other phones which have FM radio and the HTC FM radio app either.
Does anyone have a screenshot of the HTC system apps for the HTC One showing an FM radio app?
I know all about internet radio... just interested here if FM radio is built in or not, thanks.

All HTC android Phones have FM Radios
Sony and HTC tend to make FM Radio a regular app on all their phone while samsung on the other hand tend to make it only available on their flagship phones.
can anyone ask HTC directly about FM or any official information to confirm 'FM Radio'?

Yes it does have a fm radio, I have played with one and secondly I posted a video at the top of this page that shows the HTC One does have Fm radio
Just watch any video shoeing the htc one. I saw something called FM radio.

Almost all. There's a few that don't (in hardware), like these:
- HTC Droid DNA.
- HTC Desire CDMA / BravoC
- HTC Rezound ADR6425LVW Verizon (Vigor)
- HTC Rhyme ADR6330VW Verizon "blissc" shows negative to 0 RSSI.
- HTC Magic (Sapphire), T-Mobile myTouch 3G, NTT docomo HT-03A
- HTC Dream, T-Mobile G1, Era G1.
Then there are some US carrier variants that don't officially support it but that apps can enable, such as the AT&T OneX(L) LTE.
Sprint supposedly has a deal with the US FM broadcasters to get $10 grand ransom per year out of each of them. See my post here for some details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36567961&postcount=5154
Other carriers might also enable if they get paid off, or may keep disabled as long as negotiations aren't fruitful.

The app us there for international versions. But disabled for the us versions most likely. Hardware should be the same so a custom ROM will probably get it to work

When you say played with one, have you checked the actual usability through headphones? Decent reception, for instance.
EDIT: Wait a minute. Nobody has this phone yet, right ? When somebody gets one, please send me a debug log. Or if you see the chips identified in an article somewhere, please post. A ROM dump would also help answer some questions.
If somebody with a (preferably rooted) HTC One would send me a debug log from my FM app, I could tell you more about the FM chip, and the prospects for enabling FM on stock ROMs with no FM app or custom ROMs.
Free version of my app is here: http://d-h.st/9Ck . Use Menu-> Test-> Email-> Logs and press Send after 20 seconds.
My hope is that the One uses the standard Qualcomm reference design with a WCD93xx audio chip and WCN36xx FM/Bt/WiFi/etc combination chip. This is a very nice, pretty much fully digital combination with a lot of power and capabilities, that will likely take some time to fully appreciate and enable. IE, it's IMO the architecture of "tomorrow"/2013-2014. It will be very interesting to see if the Galaxy S4 uses this architecture, for the US, rest of the world, or world-wide.
And ideally, stock ROMs with no FM app will contain the Qualcomm FM framework files needed to enable FM without root.
I had a quick look at the Android_Revolution_HD-One_2.0 ROM and see FM_Radio.apk and the widget and support files etc.
I tried running the APK on my OneX LTE with the latest AT&T JB and it crashed due to some missing widget code.
I'm not entirely positive, but it appears the audio is Qualcomm WCD93xx and the Bluetooth is Broadcom BCM4335.
I'm guessing the Broadcom chip is the source of the FM, and not a Qualcomm WCN36xx BT/WiFi/FM chip.
Yes, the ATT version has the FM radio. In fact, the only reason I got this phone was so I would never be without in
Severe storms. I then installed a custom rom just in case art force pushed an update an brick my device. Only problem
I've run into is some market apps are incompatible with my device now. I'd file a bug report with Viperxl
But I'm not allowed. Just hope the update fixes it.

HTC One M8 can do FM radio
I am using the HTC One M8 by Verizon. FM Radio was not installed.
On another site I discovered that other carriers use the NextRadio app. At first, the NextRadio app wouldn't Install because it is not allowed on my Verizon phone.
So, I found the APK on internet.
From the website I downloaded the file to my Verizon HTC M8. Using a file manager, I located the file on phone, tapped it, and it installed with no problem
I am listening to the FM radio as I type this.
Attached copy of the file.

The LG apps rely very heavily on the LG framework, so the simple answer is 'no'. There are plenty of FM Radio apps on the Play Store though, so you should just try some of them.

Cyanogen have started to add support for FM Radio, but it is unlikely to work on our device. If you follow their G+ page you will see that it is dependant on the chipset in the device and they currently have it working on Sony devices because Sony support the Dev community and have helped them to get it working.
This is one of those features that, if it really bothers you so much, means you are likely to have to always remain on Stock ROMs.
