[Q] Any custom gingerbread rom support FM radio?

Hi All,
I am looking for a gingerbread rom that supports FM radio. I have been using MM's GB rom. It was great and stable but it does not support FM radio. Can you recommend one? How about CM7 rom? I try to look for the threads. Nobody mentions that it supports FM radio.
Your help is appreciated.

Yeah, just checked and CM7 supports FM radio.

You tried to install on MM's GB Rom the radio application and it not work?!

No never try. Just because MM did not mention his rom can support FM radio in his post. Maybe I will try to do it later. Thanks.

Confirmed. Not working

Can anyone confirm that it DOES work on CM7??
A more interesting question to me would be has anyone been able to get the FM transmitter working?? I think I remember there's a hardware disconnect as well? Is that right?

I tried it on MM's CM7 1.3. The FM radio app works like a charm. However, I got rebooted everytime when I try to install other apps. So, I switch back to MM's Desire HD rom. :-(
PS: I tried both CM7 v1.3 and 1.4. Not stable for me.

[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(?).

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

Read before you flash stuff it helps in the long run, FM Radio doesnt work so is not included, S Memo is a Touchwiz application CM9 is not Touchwiz based so S Memo will never work/be present in CM9 so to sum it up if you want S Memo go back to Touchwiz,

Cuz not many people use it so in order to save space they don't bundle an FM radio.
It's easier if the small portion of users who do use the FM radio can just download a radio app from the play store themselves.

thanx guys useful information
thanx a lot :good:

The FM radio from Samsung is using the TW (touchwiz) framerwork for it to work.. CM ROMs dont have the TW framework.. I think they decided to go that way to avoid any legal action from samsung themselves.. Same reason why the always have Gapps as a separate file from the ROM..

It's not because CM team wants to save space, or because they are afraid that Samsung might sue them.
The reason there's no radio is because Samsung do not want to release specific hardware documentation and source code, because they deem them proprietary. There's no way for CM guys to develop a working FM radio without those.

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.
