Is FM Radio working with the latest Lineage OS build - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Lineage OS 2019.07.08 was released and includes fixes for FM radio. Is it working? Can't test as I'm on stock(ish) .

FM still not working

that's too bad FM radio is often not working for people who have switched to extended support via community builds, especially in this era of climate change disasters, every bit of information can be a life saver when networks go down, and is one of the reasons i hesitate to switch.

battery eating???

i m searching for the best radio that preserve power of battery
i tried different roms but with the same problem ??
can any body help plz............
Moved as not ROM Development
Only you will find the best Radio as so many variables location, carrier then signal v's GPS vs battery life etc etc
Best you can do is head over to the Ultimate Radio Thread and spend some time testing.
And you can also inspect your other settings as it might not have nothing to do with radio
In general radio will have some impact, but very little; I've heard that the latest 1.70.xxxxx is working well for a lot of people.

new broadcom driver

CM 5.0.8 is officially out now, and just like the other builds it's reliant on the froyo radio, which as of right now, makes my phone nearly unusable. I'm in Los Angeles and go straight to edge on it and can barely find a 3G signal at all, not the case with the older radios, in fact it connects to 3G/HSPA so strongly i forget edge even exists. so i'll be downgrading back to 5.0.6, which i'm quite pleased with, except the battery life , until froyo is out which seems to have better battery.
the one thing i'd very much so like to retain from this CM build is the new wireless driver. can this be installed seperately or flashed overtop of 5.0.6?
you posted in wrong section, this is development

Kovsky Kernel Development [2.6.35]

This thread is dedicated to the development of the 2.6.35 kernel for the Xperia X1 (HTC Kovsky) device.
Alex (sp3dev) has done a wonderful job so far to port a lot of his pervious 2.6.27 work into this branch. His source code can be found here: http://gitorious.com/~ast/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/alex-linux-xperia
It’s possible to build the source and boot the kernel, but no functionality beyond that is functioning so far (i.e. it won’t connect to your GSM network or be able to detect touch on the screen).
Eventually releases will be posted here; hopefully other developers can submit patches, recommendations, etc.
Thanks, and stay tuned!
Great, expecting the completely new kernel!
Stay Tuned, YES!!

yes, I think we have to use this thread to stay up to date with the kernel development.
My opinion is that there are few developer that continue to port android on kovsky, the Alex branch is one the most active. So I'll follow you.
Thanks and keep going.
OK starting with the offtopic in development thread again (sorry), but what are the advantages of the new kernel?
Mainly to clean up the code and iron out bugs (probably to merge with mainline linux one day).. But anyway, just for fun..
Alex can you just do some quick fixes and compile .35 version for NEOPEEK GINGERBREAD ROM ???
That's would be great thing for X1 community
no, unfortunately not. it requires much more than small fixes. porting microp and touchscreen drivers is a huge PITA. and i want to port some nand bootloader first
Ok thanks for answer...
But, i didn't understand what you mean by that bootloader...you wanna make DIRECT NAND ADROID BOOTLOADER for X1 ?
Anyway is that what you love to do or you know how to do it ?
If you need any help from me i am here. I am not good with LINUX terminal, but i know VB.net, C#, and a little C++.
Thanks for everything rusian brother
This looks like the stuff they are doing here https://www.codeaurora.org/gitweb/q...it;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/android-msm-2.6.35, whats different?
Ok, a very experimental zImage. Only for those of you guys that have much free time and nothing to do...
http://www.mediafire.com/?a1rzi5embishqd7
It contains:
kernel 2.6.35.7
Working:
Touchscreen
Sound/headset (with the new libraries from jbruneaux). You need to copy AudioFilterTable.csv, AudioPara3_XC.csv renamed to AudioPara3.csv, AudioPreProcessTable.csv from \Windows to the root of sd card. All in all, this means you can use custom acoustic tables and sound quality will improve greatly.
LEDs. Completely reworked, doesn't hang with custom triggers. Do 'echo mmc0 > /sys/class/leds/green/trigger' to have fun and let the green led blink like on your desktop when accessing sd card.
Phone calls (huh. i have not tested mic though)
Keyboard/keypad.
USB - will probably fail if booting with usb plugged. replug to activate. some power management was reworked (will need to fix that glitch with booting with usb in), but now the power of ulpi is disabled when usb unplugged - less drain
Battery monitor/Charger - less hackish now. Uses linux power system to drop voltage/monitor charging. The charger status updates instantaneously on plug/unplug
Shutdown/reboot
Not working yet:
GPRS/PPP (alright.. you are free to fix the userspace, ril and scripts to choose the correct smd channel. i will not add the hack swapping channels 1 and 7 to the new kernel)
GPS (will just crash. but probably more a userspace thing, though)
Bluetooth (rfkill is there. it will hang dead if you try to access the serial port, though)
WiFi
Qwerty backlight (i'm just lazy)
Vibra (look up the previous point)
Camera (WIP)
Optical Joystick
To make sound work, copy the two .so files to /system/lib. They are incompatible with previous kernels (htc-linux tree) and vice versa, this kernel is incompatible with the old libraries.
Do NOT set pm.sleep_mode to 0 or 1, it is not yet working
So, you can see that this is highly experimental and a WIP, it's more a proof of concept, but if you have time, you could try it to see if it boots for you..
I guess like everyone here... i just want no more button freezes! everything else is currently working acceptably for me!
Wow, amazing you managed to get 2.6.35 working on our mobile phones, I like what you have done with the LED's And reponse time was impressive and it felt very speedy, had sadly some issues that prevented me from running any benchmarks.
Honeycomb is not working will with this new kernel, could not connect to any network, it was continiously switcing flight mode on off preventing any kind of network from working. Could not browse the filesystem with included filebrowser, I do wonder why as I had not problem accessing /sdcard from a terminal.
Do you know why the existing froyo libraries have problems with the updated kernel?
No, i have no problems. Ril works fwiw
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/6028/devicefn.png
So, maybe you need to do a wipe before booting. Anyway, it is nowhere near working, so i guess it is pointless digging into the userspace before getting all hardware on 35.
One thing. JB sound libs may be prelinked and conflict with your system libraries, so i think it's best to wait until this stuff is merged to xdandroid first
Was this kernel made based off source changes not yet committed to GIT? I tried last week building a kernel based on your 35 repository (which it built successfully) but the touch screen wasn’t working for me.
The touchscreen part was not modified, but yes, some of the code is not yet released. I am still working on headset and audio and plan on committing it later this week. I am now testing wifi. The card seems to bring up now, but i have not yet tried connecting. Setting up debian chroot for that now
But Alex,
Please understand that all kernels from .27 series have really unstable WiFi and really slow... If you can make WiFi to work like on WM that would be all what i want in Android
Thanks
It is really great work guys .. keep it up .. i'm waiting for this kernel ..
hope i can see it fully working soon .. as i guess it may overcome libskia problem as neopeek said .. which will give us the ability to port many awesome roms ..
Thanks too much Alex & Seandean ..

good work!!! what about FM Radio and front camera in the future?
Wow. after much trial and error, wl1251 'just works' as it should (well, actually the wl1251 sdio driver is a bit buggy, so for some time now we won't be using wifi interrupt and power saving mode). The patches for mmc are commited.. The rest, audio and headset, will come later

Excellent, sounds like 2.6.35 is getting close to replace the old 2.6.27
Do you have some precompiled wpa_supplicant and libnl.so that are working with the wl1251 network driver? Have added the compat-wireless to the old 2.6.27 but I am having some difficulty compiling the tools needed to control it and verify if it is working at all on the old kernel.
Downloaded a copy of your 2.6.35 source yesterday, can see that I allready now need to download it again to get your latest updates

[Q] Razr i FM radio after JB update?

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:

Yes, sadly, I think this is the end of the line for free, over the air FM on Razr I's.
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.

[Q] Stable Kit Kat ROM (as of 2/4/14)

I was running CM 10.2 for awhile then switched to an early CM 11 version and had lots of issues (couldn't get GPS lock, data stopped working, in call volume was broken, SODs, MMS issues). I ended up switching to Malladus 1.2 (currently running 1.2.2) and have had hardly any issues. That being said, I'd really like (a piece of that) Kit Kat (bar).
Does anyone have recommended Kit Kat ROMs for the LG G2 (Verizon)? GPS stability, working in call volume, working MMS, and very very few SODs are what I'm shooting for... maybe too tall of a wish list? Would love to stay close to "vanilla Android" / AOSP.
Any suggestions would be great! Also... is there a good place to go for this sort of information? I get lost flipping through the threads of the other ROMs.
i dont think cm is the best rom,even though it is so fast ,simple ,but too few features.

Gr33nD3vil's CM 11 Unofficial mod is the best so far for Verizon.
