I have a custom ROM on my phone but want to be able to listen to FM radio. Are there any apps in the Play Store that can use the FM radio feature of the phone? Everything I've seen is online streaming radio.
Much thanks!
What ROM are you on? It's my understanding that FM radio is on all Moto G 2014's.
Hi, don't know if you are still looking but this worked for me in Nougat, I'm guessing it works with MM too. Hopes it works for you

Wondering if this is possible I would like to have mine running a FM radio for work
This has been asked a few times already and the answer is not yet. Untill google gives us a radio that supports the fm transceiver there's no way we can get to it. Maybe when the desire is finally out we can get it from it.
O3D forums have blown up since the GB leak, I personally am waiting for the official release but, why wait for that to get FM radio?

Download, extract, put all apks into system/app... put in headphones, turn on bluetooth, open radio app and listen to FM radio. Once radio is runninh you can turn bluetooth off and no need to turn on in GB.
this waiting is pain in neck cant build a rom coz GB is coming

thank you much much^o^
Thanks very much, it works perfectly on my Canadian O3D (P925G)
After upgrading to v20c, i have not been able to get the FM radio to work. It force closes when trying to launch it. Any thought/ideas? It worked perfectly on v21b.

Crashing after update here also. Should have been part of the update?
Radio worked fine until I updated to gingerbread. Now I get a force close box saying. The application FM Radio (process.lge.fmradio) has stopped unexpectedly.Please try again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app still not working.I even did a hard reset.That didn't help either. Please help
any one tried on ics bcoz it is not working I've tried.
Has anyone contacted LG about the FM radio? Why wasn't it in the update? Are they just not going to turn it on for us? Don't understand that at all. Why build a phone and then limit what it can do? I'm thinking that we might get ICS update with it enabled? That is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense.
Firstly, it's LG we're talking about.
Second, if I'm wrong, then I must be on crack, but I don't think they ever advertised it to use FM Radio.
Plus, you have to use the Bluetooth for FM Radio, which in turn, isn't adequate for a FM receiver. Plus, think about it. If they DID add it, how many users would be complaining that they have to use bluetooth for radio?
Ice Cream Sandwich? Yeah. I wish. LG will be making CRAPPY versions of ICS and they'll be encrypting their files.
I'm not going to lie. I ONLY got the phone for the 3D. That's about it.
My only suggestion is to be like straying sheep and wander away from LG.
You dont have to use the bluetooth on GB. It has an FM reciever in it, its just not turned on? I got the phone for a penny thats why I have it. I knew I wouldent use the 3d. Im not a gamer; It is cool for about an hr. then I need my phone to do real work. I am pleased though, very nice phone for a penny. If I was gona drop some cash i'd get the note.
The FM radio doesn't operate over Bluetooth. It just shares a radio with bluetooth. This is why you need to turn bluetooth on, it activates the fm radio reciever. This is confirmed by the fact that the headset doubles as the FM antenna.
We already know the phone is capable. Its just a matter of making it work.

Then I must have been on crack.
I must be muddling up my phones. -.-
So we all know it has an FM receiver. I'm just pissed because lg did not enable it. I guess it could of had bugs so they just decided to scrap it. I love my Google play music, but like to hear the local radio to. Not a big deal, but if your like me, then you want your phone to do all it can even if you don't use it for such.
i just tested CM7 a few days ago... they have FM Radio on the rom and it works... y Lestat doesnt??
not LG's fault, but ATT
1. the phone does have an FM receiver.
2. the FM radio IS enabled, you only need to install the LG FM radio program to use it.
3. In ATT version of the software, they (ATT) stripped the FM receiver software away, not LG.
4. the LG FM radio package from the Optimus3D works perfectly in the Thrill, since it's exactly the same hardware, but you need to install 2 other applications (the fm radio provider and the fm service)
5. if you're using a froyo based rom, you will have to start bluetooth for the fm radio to work.
6. if you're using a GB based rom, you don't have to start bluetooth for the fm radio to work.
7. Attached the 3 apks that you need to install. After installing them, pls reboot before using them.
We all have the same apk's I didnt get them to work on v20p. (should of included that.) It works on most custom roms with old basebands. I will try your files. Mine might be wrong.
It just force closes on v20p.

Definitely blame AT&T for that.
They changed kernel settings.
I emailed lg 3 days ago. I have yet to hear back. Ill email att tonight. I told them it maks them look bad when you guys can get this to work b4 them. No names of corse.
Fm works for me I am using AcidHazard ROM 3.5 with stock 20P ATT kernel
you're right
I have used so many firmwares that I didn't remember which one I was using.
fm radio apk works fine in 21d (european) and 20a (brazil).
Besides that, both don't have all the att bloatware, so the phone works better and drains a lot less battery.
I didn't have problems with my country's 3G bands (we use 850 and 2100 here, and both seemed to work fine in those firmwares, although I didn't find documentation about that)
If I had to choose, the brazilian 20a seemed smoother, and with overall better reception.

I followed all steps and installed the 3 apk's.
It did not work - "unfortunetally FM Radio has stopped..."
It is LG G2. D800. And 4.4.2. D80020c, rooted.
Any ideas ?
hey all, sorry if this has been duplicated, but i'm curious as to what will happen to FM radio functionality after JB update, I know EEUK branded devices have already received jb update with a few other networks, can someone please verify if FM functionality stays intact or is lost after update? I have GB generic retail... cheers

Well, FM functionality itself is still there I assume, but that particular application doesn't seem to work anymore. it starts OK, but then it constantly loading, don't remember exactly what the message stated - had to uninstall it same hour I had updated to JB.
From the fm radio thread on here, the Spirit FM apps developer after looking at a JB eu log from the appn concluded:

The Motorola OEM Proprietary FM API is gone, and likely the stock Motorola apps won't work now either, since they use that API.
On rooted phones, IF I spent the time getting Intel NDK support going, access via /dev/tifm may be possible. But Motorola may have removed the FM audio support too, and I have no idea how to bypass that.
Hey guys. So I have the Australian LGV40 lmv405ebw model. Doesn't come with the FM radio pre installed so I installed the stock FM radio and next radio but it's not working whatsoever. Gsm arena said it's FM compatible but it's not working. Is there any way to enable the hardware so I can utilise it cause this was one of the reasons I purchased it?
Disappointing cause I do travel occasionally to remote areas with no coverage and it's so handy.

Typically, headphones must be plugged in so that the natural antenna action of the headphone wire can be used for reception

Tried that, to no avail. I'm aware of that. Used next radio and stock FM radio which I downloaded manually.

Atleast the European V405EBW has the FM module disabled (for whatever reason), so i guess its the same for the australian :/
Some US models have it enabled though. You can typically check from your bootloader kernel commandline ( /proc/cmdline , needs root to read) if its supported in HW or not.

Yeah I think it's exactly the same as the European models. I've heard the US models have it enabled. Is there a possibility to enable it myself?

Its disabled in hardware... except you find out where to solder what exactly, i dont think theres a possibility (bootloader reports that fm isnt supported on the v405ebw, theres a kernel commandline appended for that)
I tried to use it in Lineage, didnt work (had FM stuff added in LOS16, then fm stuff broke in 17, didnt readd it yet), but worked on the US models
So i guess you would need todo some serious soldering or change the motherboard ?
