[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] (Q); Fm Radio apk from Samsung in ICS

Assuming you have a kernel with FM radio support, does anyone have a one click install version of a working and compatible with ICS version of the radio apk.
This chap on this post; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456724 (and others) have managed to get the FM apk to work, but the developer/OP links are down and he ain't responding.

I use spirit FM on CM9
dal mio SGS con XDA

Do you know what the extra/new features on that are ? Will try it anyway. Thanks.

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.

[Q] FM radio apk for Samsung GT-N7000

Hey, I've flashed the super nexus 2.0 ROM 4.2.2 on my Note and its doesn't come with the FM radio apk. I extracted the fmradio.apk from samsung stock rom 4.1.2 and tried to install but it says "application not installed". My phone has the hardware but i am looking for the software.
Its an Indian version phone. please help? I need the offline radio app not online radio (if that makes sense).. Thanks in advance

Not working on CM, AOSP, etc based Roms.
You'll need a "Samsung" based Rom if you want to use the FM radio - or use the radio app (see market or search xda) - some people had problems with this, so I'm not sure if it is a real good replacement.

Thanks

No, this isn't true. Disappointing isn't the missing software in CM/AOSP etc. but Samsungs policy.

[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.
