I thought if I download some fm radio apps from market I'd be able to listen radio on my atrix! But it seems I can't listen local FM..So I can't listen to radio on my atrix?
Hello,
The Atrix have the radio chip but it's not enable.
That's why the radio App can't work.
Regards.

Oh! btw Does the CM7 comes with the fm radio? (maybe some hacks can enable the fm)
The FM radio is physically disabled at the hardware level. No roms (e.g. CM7) or software hacks can fix it.

Are there any programs I can use to make use of the FM chip to monitor weather during this wonderful storm?
Most weather stations broadcast waaay outside the basic FM-radio band.

Theres an app called Scanner Radio that ha weather radio and might have your local weather.
Scanner Radio is good, TuneInRadio is good. Both have local weather while Scanner Radio monitors mostly public frequencies such as amateur radio, public safety and disaster relief, TuneInRadio specializes in 'local' FM broadcasts from national sources with public safety available to a lesser amount.

I'm confused, why can't you just use the FM radio to listen to local FM stations? I mean the built-in radio in the music app?
The deal-killer for me would be that the radio uses headphone wires as an antenna. If you just want to pop the kickstand and listen or use it as background noise you're out of luck.
I'd say in hurricane situations there are better and more appropriate methods of getting information but my posts here are simply responses to the original question.

In the default music app you can hit menu and switch to speakers,
need the headphones plugged in, but will play the audio through the phones speakers

You are absolutely right but I'm kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place at the moment. My emergency radio is dead, my backup emergency radio is a 1920's S/W set and the lantern battery it uses is probably 10 years old. I just want to be able to use my phones FM chip as a backup to the backup.
1920's? Thats hilarious. What is it a messenger pigeon?
[Q] I need help with getting Froyo stock FM radio on my Cyanogen Mod7 for LG optimus one p500.
-Is it possible to install this FM radio on Cyanogen Mod7, and how?
-Alternatively, is there any FM radio that is equally good and installable?
Please help as I don't like the cyanogen mod7 FM radio.
Idk whats wrong with cm7 fm radio,but if u dont like it,u can try spirit fm from market.
And yes stock fm radio cannot work on cm7.
I can confirm that Spirit FM does work quite well, though it's not pretty. The one thing I miss from the stock radio is the widget - neither the CM7 radio nor Spirit have a widget, which is unfortunate. Are there any solutions to this?
One irrotating thing wit cm7 radio is use of bluetooth -more battery consumption..as of now stock fm can be used only on stock lg based roms

Stock fm radio also turns on bluetooth without informing us,at least cm7 informs us.
Thanks for the reply.
The reason why I don't like the cyanogen mod7 FM radio is because it does not have auto scan, no volume control bottom, and cannot save more than 5 radio stations. Am not critisizing here, I am just used to an advanced stock FM radio and finding it difficult to settle for the less. Will try the spirit FM as suggested and will get back to you. Thanks again for being prompt. However, cyanogen Mod7 is sweet.

Thanks guys. Spirit Fm worked just fine.
Hello,
I flashed CM7.1 on my SGS2, then Seyah kernel and could not be happier with the results. Thank you to both teams behind these.
I am trying to listen to FM Radio but all I get is a message "enabling bluetooth", the BT is being enabled but then nothing - no sound whatsoever.
Two questions:
1) Can I disable the bluetooth activation each time I want to listen to radio?
2) Is there a fix or another radio app which is known to work for FM radio on SGS2?
Thank you for your help!
FM radio does not work, sorry. I use TuneIn.

Got it. I have a limited data plan, so TuneIn is no good for me.
Thanks for helping!
Hello
RDS works on my smartphone (froyo 2.2) but not with my 5.0 and this is a feature i miss
Is there anyway to add RDS to my 5.0 that doesn't require using wifi or 3g??
Spirit Fm works on my international G70 and adds RDS without internet connection.
Spirit doesn't seem to work on US version (5.0), wifi on or off.
After checking out that app, i'm left with the impression it's a "hardware" issue and not something correctable with software. Oh well, i do really like the native radio app - it just would feel complete with RDS!
Using the app FM TwoO, the RDS is working fine (but the app is not very user-friendly).

Awesome - thanks
Only irritation is having to move back and forth from the favorites folder.
Does anyone know an app that can "EQ" the "radio" or "all system sounds"??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795233
DSP manager works well, but I found that I think it conflicts with GrooveIP. I don't use an equalizer enough to care, so I uninstalled it. It did work with the native player, Cubed, and native FM, when I tried it.
Thanks Tcat
Will have a look at that.
Hi, I am pretty fresh user of PACMAN, I found out that FM radio is in fact the only feature that is unpresent in PACMAN and other CM based ROMs. Can you please explain me why that happened and what is the reason?
Thanks
From what I understand, FM radio itself is working but audio routing is somewhat broken.
Can u pls explain what did u mean by "audio routing"?
There is no application for FM Radio in recent builds. Is it possible to make it working?

How to get FM radio in kitkat? Is that your question?
Answer:Buy a new phone which has FM radio. You must know that Sony has long given up support for your current device and so proprietary things like FM radio will never work in these unsupported upgrades.

Nope. See here: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/local_manifests/issues/155
"Audio routing" is something like the link between FM radio (hardware) and Alsa (software, which is the linux sound system)

Thanks for advice, got Xperia Z3 compact.
It wasn't a question, was only my curiosity as I recently started to play with custom roms and couldn't find answer to my question.

That escalated quickly. Have fun with your phone :cyclops:
Backport from newer models?
Ok, this problem an old "bug", but cannot anyone port FM radio module (and other missing features) source from newer Sony models to older phones? From Z series to older Xperias?
