I know this had been covered before but for the benefit of the newer crowd this is a discussion of modifications, software and hardware. I currently am working on an in dash mount for my streak. I like the idea of having a touch screen radio in my vehicle. The past two attempts have resulted in failure but I think my third attempt will turn out well.
Any others out there?

Here is a bit of info for you. Technically the bcm4329 chip has a FM radio functionality.

I did not even consider to look into this as an option. since I read more than I respond the link to the server is hard to find by digging through the forums so I have it saved. I am guessing I need to flash both of the zips to get it to work? I am going to do the usual back up of the system and give it a go. Thanks for the info i will see how well it works.
Ok, you got me. How do the zip files install? I tried cwm and update method, so maybe it is a newer version of cwm?

As for installing, read around, instructions are here.
I did some looking around, what I read us that the wifi edition does not support the radio function. I used the forum search feature, new to that, and after ask the Web searching and forum searching I turned up nothing. Did I search wrong our the wrong topic? I did find the radio app but there is no sound from it even after tuning and turning it on and it required super user permissions.

I believe that all BCM43xx chips support fm radio, at least that's what they say on their spec sheets.
But many devices simply dont have the fm drivers installed and active.
Out of all the dell devices, only the SPro has official radio support. (All dell devices use BCM4329 chips except for the S5, which uses a BCM4325)
They attempted to get radio working on the S5 but they never released anything that worked.
BCM43xx chips are combo chips that support the following:
802.11
Bluetooth
FM radio
Obviously they cant not support wifi or BT, they're pretty much a requirement now, but the fm radio part isnt.
You'd need a headset to use it though, as it universally uses the headphone wires as it's antenna.
As soon as I get some stable builds going, I would love to put FM radio into my builds.
Yea I had to put in a headset for the radio app to function I just didn't get any sound. Still not sure what is wrong but I'm not giving up yet until there are no options left. I'm running the wifi only version of Steve's ROM so I'm not sure what all options are enabled in his roms. I started out on an OG Droid so modding and testing is nothing new to me I've bricked devices a few times, just late to the streak scene. My last device was a Bionic and I bricked that one more that the OG Droid.

I can't seen to find the needed files to get it to work. Obviously the streak 5 files won't work, tried two radio apps I found here. One was a very basic radio app that didn't work and the other was a version that had a better GUI but still either did not function or no sound. It gets difficult to be this late in the game and find old information that gets buried. Do I need any of the radio files from the server? I believe the host is the Manii, I apologize if that is spelled wrong I do everything I can from the streak.
Update: I'm taking a guess here but the fm.**** file should go in the system/bin folder to get the fm function to work?

Here's a summary of FM support on dell devices (and it's extended family's):
S5: Sorta has fm radio support (look up "fm_hcitool" and "spirit fm")
S7: None that we're aware of
S10: None that we're aware of
SPro: Working radio support built in
V: None that we're aware of
"Streak2 5": None that we're aware of (opus one)
"Streak2 7": Currently confirming (sterling)
The Qisda devices (S5/S7/V/"S2 5") all have comments about fm support, but it's completely broken.
You might be able to try spirit fm, otherwise short of fm being natively supported in the rom: fm radio isnt going to work.
---------------------------------------------------------
This is completely OT: but lenovo found the best way to support multiple devices:
The LePad S2007 and S2010 use the same, identical rom even though they're different devices (7" tab and 10" tab)
The S2007 is (likely) what would have been the Streak2 7 if dell didnt cancel "sterling"
I understand you are looking at the hardware level. Just figured I'd share what I use as an app... WiFi only streak7 in my car on an official mounted dell home dock in the dash. Then tethered to my cell for data, 3.5mm out on the dock connected to my head unit, all sounds play through the car.
TuneIn Radio(I have the pro version)
No FM hardware used, just the data connection through my cell
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
So asI have read the fm won't work on my S7. Too bad it would have been nice. I did try to add the fm file and it did not work on any application for native fm radio. Still love the device though. I'll hold out until JB works, if the bugs can get squashed.

I posted this earlier on the Kaiser General tread but go no replies:
Okay before anyone points out to me I am aware that HTC Kaiser does not have a FM tuner on board.
I have been looking at various attachment for Ipods which have FM radio capabilities.
For example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/GEAR4-BluEy...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1216741324&sr=8-2
There are plenty more types out there.
I am wondering if it would be possible to hook one of these devices using the mini USB port on the Kaiser and write a software which would use the FM radio tuner on these devices. I know these devices are custom built for Ipods but a low level code should in principle be able to access the hardware and use it.
Any thoughts?

it should have fm capability. the built in antenna might be an issue at getting far off stations but it should work.

I meant to say that the htc phones that share the same broadcom wireless chip, a/b/g and bluetooth probably all have the fm radio although I haven't been able to locate a bill of materials for the eris or hero. isuppli did one for the nexus but that has wireless n, most likely a different chip. I'm pretty sure my htc touch(cdma) does not have that, being it lacking the wifi connectivity.
Thanks for the reply. Good luck to everyone working on rooting. hopefully there will be some trick to loading a hacked recovery image off the sd card or something, even a nasty terminal command

If you can find out what chip is in the phone, I can find out if it has FM or not. I'd need a model number, and preferably an FCC ID. Not sure how you would get those, though.

Slacker is pretty nice too. For music playing, I use TuneWiki.
Pandora and slacker are fine if you want to listen to music, but I need an actual FM radio receiver for the Eris for when I'm at the gym. They broadcast the sound from the TVs over the radio and although I get it no problem on my HD2, my girlfriend cant find any apps for her Eris.
bump:
would really like to know if anyone knows if the eris has fm capabilities becouse that would be so awseome!!!!
Does anyone have the apk to try this out?
I have some pictures of the mobo of the Eris here: http://s811.photobucket.com/albums/zz37/Gh0stRyd3r/Eris%20Inside/.
Maybe one of those will let you know what chip model we have for the FM radio?

Can we do this now that we have root? I would happily alpha test.
the eris does not support FM radio signals.

so no one can tell me what chip the eris uses for wireless b/g and bluetooth or whether that chip contains the fm receiver or transmitter but you say it doesn't support fm... we all know it does not support fm. Just like rooting, it's a hack.
I took a look at your pictures and popped my phone apart as well, I couldn't make out the broadcomm chip that i was looking for but I didn't dig too deep in fear of something not working when I reassembled.
There doesn't seem to be much word on the Motorola cliq as well so not sure where the lg fm hack faded into.
So I found the FM radio.apk and lib files to run it, it doesn't get along well with the HTC device, the debugger has it looking for a bunch of motorola things. I was not able to run the test the other forms had as I was missing a file from the bin directory.

any idea which chip is in there? I figured even if HTC used the fm enabled chip they would not connect the audio out or fm antennae. it would be a cool trick. especially fm out.

if i remember correctly one of the devs told me that the eris CANNOT have fm, not even with a hack or anything. maybe if you solder your own fm chip, the maybe, but until then, i really dont believe it is possible.

The Snapdragon chip has FM in it.
But the Liquid doesn't have FM, dunno if it's disabled or took out (hardware)
So what I read is not a fantasy, I hope someone develops a utility that allows us to use it!
I think its the bluetooth chip that have FM receiver, not the CPU.
Check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608340
If Bluetooth chip is same then Liquid should have radio and since F1 has radio and F1 and Liquid hardware are pretty much the same, I think there is big possibility Liquid to have radio, which is disabled.
Also I have seen in a dump from HTC Espresso a radio application.
Look at this:

It occurs to me that we are experiencing growth Andorid day to day, who knows if in a not too distant future we will also see an application that runs the FM receiver
Exactly, giving the limited resources Acer has to making Android phones (probably just ramping up), they decided to skip on developing software drivers for the FM radio since they figured most people will use 3G streaming. but I like FM radio since it uses way less power and for those who don't have a data plan to burn through. Hopefully someone is able to write software drivers for the FM radio.
Some notes on this subject:
1.Acer has little to nothing to do to get the FM working, it's broadcom who makes the bluetooth (and thus FM) driver. What Acer has to do is only a GUI, which isn't hard to do
2.Nexus One has the same chip (ok, not the same, but they share the same driver), and doesn't have FM enabled either, that makes me think their might be some problem somewhere. (but the previous posts stating that using FM on a recent smartphone is unusual seems like a good guess.)
3.I've seen linux FM drivers for BCM4325, in Samsung Galaxy ROM (It's the btld daemon)
The thing is that this driver is fully closed source and doesn't use the bluez stack (linux bluetooth stuff), that's perhaps the reason why Acer and Google decided not to use it.
Anyway these chips are used by N1, Samsung Galaxy (I7500), iPhone 3GS, HTC HD2, HTC Touch Pro2, well, all brand new shiny phones, so it's likely someone of these developers will get something at some point

Which features of a ROM Kernel or Modem have the most influence on BT function. I recently purchased a Kenwood X994 for the car and the Captivate seems to have to be "connected" every time. Sometimes it loads the phone book, other times not. I have never been asked for a PIN code when pairing. Even after flashing a new ROM and reinitialization the Kenwood. It does work but even with th Gamin BT the connections were automatic.
I think the Developers might have an idea what influences the BT stack and if any ROM/Kernel/Modem is better in that regard.
If this post is in the wrong area please move it.

I am not trying to sell my ROM to you as I don't and am not here to make any money but I have not found a device that Phoenix Ultimate can not connect to. Just a thought for you.
Unless your making your own kernel thats special , their is some devices that it will have trouble connecting to, specifically certain car Bluetooth sets. this was a problem with every kernel I tried, and other users reported this also. I don't think it has anything to do at all with the Rom anyway,(it could, I didnt look into it too much), it think its an issue with kernels built from I9000 source.

The Kenwood X994 uses Parrot BT system which is supposed to be the best (which is why I chose the Kenwood LOL), I am just wondering why the device cannot auto connect when I get in the car as it did with the Garmin and the Honda. IS there a task I can set up using task manager?
Maybe its the Kenwood. But searches in that arena show no ill effect except with the Captivate and some Droids. IPhone is flawlwess with that system (wouldn't you know it) as are HTC phones it appears. I really hate having to select a phone based on BT in the car.

Hi Guys
Would really appreciate some help with this one, i am sure it been covered to some degree in other threads.
Since owning my unit I have wanted one application to run and I am not fussed about anything else, the app is ALPconnect.
ALPconnect is a application that connects to my radar detector via BT 4.0 only so it displays all the information on the dash for radar frequencies.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alpriority.alpconnect&hl=en
Due to the limitations in the Bluetooth, no current rom has been able to allow the application to turn the BT on and search for the ALPconnnect Module
http://www.alpriority.com/product/alpconnect-bluetooth-module-gen2/
Over on the other forum i am apart of http://radarandlaserforum.com, one member has spent upwards of 2000$ buying android head-units to see if this app would run and connect on it.
our small thread is ongoing at @ http://radarandlaserforum.com/showt...-InCar-Enetertainment-unit-ALPconnect-Testing about this issue.
I don't normally ask for help, but I could really use some help and I am sure others on the forum that purchased it for that reason would greatly appreciate it too.
This is the last information I received from agentdr8, thank you aswell
agentdr8 said:
It's severely limited, when compared to any other Android device with BT. This is due to the OEM's choice of the BC5/BC6 module, and their poor BT implementation. Instead of routing BT audio traffic through the Android system, like a normal device would, they route it through the MCU. That would be fine on its own, except they route pretty much all BT interactions through the MCU, via serial AT commands, which is very non-standard. Simple things like pairing, or using SPP profile just don't work, or require a bit of finagling.
On top of that, there's code (at least in MTCB; dunno about newer MTCD) in MTCManager that filters which devices can pair via BT for OBD use. It checks the device name and if it starts with OBD, it will allow it to pass to the next step during pairing. I can only imagine they chose to do that so they could sell their companion BT OBD adapters with the headunits?
My XMTC module had accounted for this limitation in name-based filtering (apparently not the only limitation though; if your adapter was at least v1.4 it should work), but it hasn't been updated to work on any 2016 roms. Since I no longer have time to maintain that project, it's been open sourced on my github. The BT pieces could be extracted into their own module, but I thought I had read someone else (maybe MVG70?) had made a BT xposed module for these devices to try and address compatibility issues.

I think it's been discussed before, and no one has successfully added an external BT adapter to these headunits.
Has that group tried the app on the Parrot Asteroid? I know it wasn't the highest rated Android headunit, but it might be more "standard" than how these ones are configured.

Thanks agentdr8, but it does not really help the ones that splashed out and bought the HuFei units
Is the reasoning behind the external BT not working because nobody is interested in making it work or is it not technically possible?

Since the kernel is not open source, there's very little hope of adding the necessary drivers to support external BT adapters. Aside from that, I don't believe the BT stack that is included in these roms is standard.
I won't say it's impossible, as given enough time and money, anything is possible. But I doubt it's something anyone here can address without the sources.
Guess the manufacturer is reluctant to release the source then.

Just a couple of questions
1.Do you know if any developer is currently working injecting the drivers into the kernel, as impossible as it sounds.
2.If the manufactures were to fix this issue, what things should they include to make external BT work?
3.Have any of the manufactures hinted at releasing the source and letting other developers fix the issue with custom roms
Just on another note

From my understanding, the only way to get this to work is through an external (USB) BT adapter, since the built-in BT stack sends everything through the MCU instead of directly to android. So enabling the proper USB drivers for BT in the Kernel would fix it. I'm not aware of any other USB devices that don't work (maybe gamepads or other HID devices, unconfirmed) so it seems they've cherry picked which USB devices to allow. Considering the otherwise hackable nature of these devices, it'd make sense to me to just enable all available USB devices and let us plug in whatever we want to plug in.
I'm in the same boat. I have an OBD adapter (Hondash) which refuses to pair. I've tried 2 Xposed modules which are supposed to sort this. I'm wondering if my particular issue is down to my 5.1.1 ROM so might try it on my old RK3066 4.4.4 HU which I gave to my Dad.
So I'm monitoring this thread in the hope a fix is found.
I am doubtful, I have contacted Klyde/Eonon/others and nobody is willing to release the kernel source code or address the issue.
So when someone gets a copy from Klyde/some reseller/MTC or whoever and a developer has the motivation to correct it, that can be the only solution.
I have given up hope on this one

Does anyone know the location in the Android file system where the Bluetooth pairings are saved?
FINALLY! Someone with a similar issue. I've got a Valentine One, and the BT module for android, (connecting using YaV1) and I've been trying to get my android unit to pair with it as well. In for potential solutions.
This question may be off topic, and I apologize for that, but are you referring to the app not being able to turn on BT and look for the adapter; just getting stuck at "Turning on bluetooth..."?
I have an OBDII scanner which I can pair no problem. When I use a specific app (OBD Card Doctor Pro (or reg)) and attempt to connect it, I get a prompt letting me know that an app wants to turn on BT. I click allow and then it just sits there and never does anything. Is that the problem ALPconnect has?
Torque does not prompt me with this and initiates the BT connection just fine.
The main issue here is that the bluetooth hardware is in effect emulated to the android subsystem for the nice bluetooth dialler front end so android has no real control over the bluetooth hardwrae. These headunits have some real downfalls and this is one of them What we need is to break this open and rewrite it. Without sources we can't do that. We could maybe dissasemble bits and replace them in code but the rom is factory odd and hacked to bits!

So this emulated effect is what causes my system get stuck "Turnning on bluetooth..." if I understand you correctly? There's no Android control over the BT hardware so the request is just lot in limbo?
