Hi guys
I switched from my stock legend rom to the CM 10 beta last week. I am TOTALLY in love with the rom, exept it doesn't have a FM Radio app, and the app "FM Radio" doesn't work either (with the red ruler like logo)
Are there any fm radio apps known working on cm10 for legend?
Thank you!
The only FM radio app that could work AFAIK is Spirit FM
As its developer states:
"How many other "Real FM Radio" apps are on Google Play ? Two: 1 for Galaxy S only and one repackaged Motorola app.
Why ? It's extremely difficult. Google doesn't support FM radio and carriers suppress it. Intensive reverse engineering is required.
Almost 2 years after Spirit was first created, nobody else has been "crazy" enough to attempt to compete in this niche."

[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 friends.
Here I present to you an app that can enable Radio Data System (RDS) which is absent in the MIUI Radio app included in Cyanogenmod7.
Spirit FM Unlocked
Google Play link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm_unlock&hl=en
Plus it has a beautiful interface allowing you to bookmark as many FM stations as you can.
However it is unable to route audio from the phone speakers just like the MIUI FM app in CM7.
If this post has helped you please hit the Thanks button
Thank you!
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?
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.

FM radio on custom roms i use so OP is wrong .

Some time ago I saw here (I think) a patch that would enable the FM radio without connecting headphones.
The same patch was applied and working at AIX Rom (as long as you had very good radio coverage).
Now I can not find it here.
Any help?
Thanks
