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?

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.

[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.
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?
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

Sorry, but AiX's FM Radio dowsnot have patch you're speaking of.
AiX has fully modded FM Radio with more functionality.
Hello XDA Forums, My phone does not have the preinstalled Sony Xperia FM Radio app, thankfully I have another one.
So I downloaded from APKMirror the Sony Xperia FM Radio app, APK version 8.1.0, for Android 12+, then I installed it.
Then, I accepted permissions for microphone and files/media, but now it crashes after the please insert headphones message. I tried again, it appeared the permission to activate notifications, but until then, it said FM Radio keeps stopping. Then I allowed notifications permission.
Then I got no choice but to try one last time. Same thing, crashes.
I don't have another FM Radio app APK, what I searched is only TuneIn, which is useless, and other apps don't have much sense. So, can we please get a fix for the Sony Xperia FM Radio app to make it work on Android 13?
My phone is a Sony Xperia 10 IV, which runs Android 13.
Please help me, I can't live like that.
Thank you!!

Guys, I need your help. Please, give me a fix for the FM Radio app.
First of all, are you sure that your phone includes integrated chipsets that offer FM radio feature?
No, but I wish yes.
