I love the roms based on CM9 and AOKP but they all seem to lack FM radio.
I know Spirit FM exists, but it is pretty buggy and seems to have high battery drain.
SO my question is why is FM radio so hard to get on these roms

FM Radio drivers are proprietary, as a result it's difficult to get the correct inputs in and direct the outputs out correctly, thus the bugs with Spirit FM, etc... Unless someone in the CM team manages to write a fully working open source FM radio driver and app, it's quite unlikely that there will be native FM support in these ROMS. Never say never, but given that it is even lower priority now that the Spirit FM app works, I wouldn't expect it soon.
ah thanks for the explanation.
oh well miui looks pretty good now and it has fm, once the sort out the bugs it will be good.

The ICS MIUI version is built on Samsung Stock, that's why they have working FM radio since using the TW FM Radio app means they don't have to deal with trying to make it work on AOSP.

Would installing the FM radio app from backup taken via Titanium Backup when the stock S2 ICS 4.0.3 ROM was loaded on my phone work?

Bluetooth on my TB doesn't connect to my computer or elantra, but it does easily to headsets. Anyone else experiencing this?

My bluetooth will connect to my car to answer phones calls but as far as being able to play pandora after rooting I having been able to do that.
I think the AOSP roms are the only ones that correctly implement the latest blue tooth stack. HTC uses an older and broken implementation. If blue tooth means that much to you, I would try looking a non sense rom

I have an AOSP ROM, I can talk through the bluetooth in my car but I cant play music like I did when I had stock. I am planning on flashing some different ROMs on my 8 days off this coming week, I dont like running into problems while I am at work and then I get busy. I will report back to see if any other AOSP ROMs work and which dont. As of right now
Th3ory's ROM I have listed - Talk ( yes ) Music streaming ( no )

For what it's worth, I can listen to music on the latest stable CM7 using imo's latest kernel using various music players. I use a bluetooth stereo headset. Bluetooth stack is located in the kernel only I believe. Perhaps try a different one?

I did download a different Kernel on my phone, will prob flash that before I switch ROMs just to see if I can get better battery life before I restore Th3ory's 1.3.1 AO5P. I was getting way better battery life on 1.3 than I am getting on 1.4 I hadto switch to battsaver on speedtweak to get the same about of battery I do on 1.4 that I use to on 1.3.

It fails for things like the PS3 Controller and I've seen people saying they can't get a keyboard to sync. However if you read my post I said HTC, not aftermarket modified kernels based on sense . Good to know that it was fixed by porting and patching things though. I never tried bluetooth on it until recently so I couldnt say from experience how it was on a sense rom
I flashed a different kernel and now I can play music in my car. On same rom listed.

How are you playing music from your Droid to your Car radio via BlueTooth? I have not been able to figure this out.

His car has bluetooth support built into it most likely. Many new cars do.
I have Bluetooth support built into my car, but I have not figured out how to do anything besides a phone call. Is there an app that you are using?

You should probably read the owner's manual for your car if you have not. Not to pull a RTFM on you
Just guessing it probably says how to do it and it varies by car.
Ya my car has a setting for "enabling Bluetooth audio", but it never recognizes my phone running cm7

It should work. It works with my girlfriend's dInc with CM7. If its like her car, you can't set it up unless the car is parked.
[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.

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.
Why, in custom roms, are HDMI and FM Radio always marked as "don't ask"?
What's difficult about this? From a cursory glance it looks like the FM radio module is provided in Samsung's kernel source.
Fm radio and phone video call is known as proprietary. It means confidential and not allowed to open to public.
You might be lucky to get fm works via spirit fm. A reverse engineering approach to make fm works.

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.

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?
