I think it's best to get it straight from the one who enabled it - Ricardo Cerqueira from cyanogen

[Q] Q? Is there Radio for CM6.0, Nightly builds

Hi.
Is there Radio for CM6.0, Nightly builds? Where can it be download from?
Thanks.
It isn't supported by Cyanogen mod, and I've heard Ali Ba isn't going to include it if it isn't supported by cyanogen. So for now (and probably for ever) no.
EDIT: You were referring to FM radio I guess?

Guess not.. Referring to radio.img.. you should be able to just use latest from stock.. all CM builds come without this one

Yes this is something id like to know too, what is the latest radio? My Legend has shocking reception so any radio updates would be magnificent ha.
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=706435
is the latest radio img for the Legend (as far as I know at least)

[Q] Why no FM in cyanogen?

Hi, i'm on the last nightly build but fm doesn't work, but LG released a GB rom with FM, why cyanogen don't use drivers from LG for FM? It's a great rom but i can't use it cause that

its not that simple
Hi there,
the FM and a2dp is routed from the broadcom chip (which is doing wireless LAN, Bluetooth and? ) through the Tegra chip by nvidia which has currently not been "opensourced".
Therefore all non-stock based roms like CM aren't able to gain access to the functions provided by the Tegra chip(?).
Cheers

You can't use drivers from official GB in CM. They must be recompiled to fit exactly with CM kernel sources. And to compile them you need driver's sources, which are not published !!!
It has been asked 1.000.000 times.
You can imagine that every dev has already tried to just insert kernel compiled drivers from GB to CM... It just doesn't work.
So write to Nvidia to ask them to publish Tegra2 sources and it will be possible.
Sincerely, if you need FM radio just install Topogigi 1.6 ROM, it rocks and has nothing to envy to CM (I know I used CM till now).
topogigi is fine, but cm7 is much better!!! i will hate lg + tegra all my life now

[Q] FM Radio for CM 10.1?

Hello folks!
Is there a way to get fm radio running on cm 10.1?
I've already tried Spirit FM Umlocked, but it just seems to recognize all the stations, but there's no sound neither on the headphones nor on the speaker.
Maybe some nice dev can fix this issue somehow.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Or to port stock apk for CM10
iff someone port stock apk to 10.1 it will be assome

Agreed 100%
I remember from many forums of official CM supported devices that FM doesn't work because of unavailable source code for different FM chipsets from mobile manufacturers and is not meant to be implemented anyway, so I guess there's no chance of getting usual FM Radio working . Sorry for that guys
EDIT: Found something through Google, that Sony devs were or are working with CM team to get FM working, but LG isn't known for their support

the CM team did make an announcement earlier this year that they'll try to get FM radio to work in CM10.1

That's what the link is leading to
But the problem is that CM need dev's from the mobile manufacturers to get the FM chips working and LG hasn't shown that much of support for the android community in the past, so I think we won't see FM on our device in the near future.

OK... what if we somehow port it from stock JB apk... or is somehow kernel related?
I see that some developers are just signed with CM apks like Memo from our stock rom and they work on CM.

Drivers, source code .... My first post clearly shows that that can't work? Its impossible to just port sth like FM from stock I think. If it would be that easy, CM would've done it before we would've even thought about it.

i don't think so. theoretically it should be possible to "port" it. we have the kernel sources and we have the apps, permissions,...
so it should be possible

nice to hear that is possible ... i know when i was sniffing thru systemUI on stock JB that there some stuff connected to FMradio.. also i think that is connected with qslide framework.

You should ask your questions in the "question section" Mackay is CM10.1 based, so actually you are looking for a working FM for CM10.1. AFAIK there isn't any working solution for OB yet. kasper_h said he is not gonna work on FM for Mackay ROM (if i remember correctly). But there are threads in XDA for FM radio on CM that had much success. You can take a look at them, and try to apply yourself, if you want.
