[App] Pissed that VM didn't include FM radio in stock? Spirit FM Radio - HTC Wildfire S

Just a shoutout to those apk makers [Mike Reid] out there. Try Spirit FM Radio, an android market free download ($10 unlocker for best results). Packing it in my new rom. Nice.
Rob

Thanks insink71.
Saw your post long ago and didn't have anything to add at the time.
LOTS has changed and improved the last 4+ months, including support for stock, un-rooted devices.
I have one user now who has a problem with severe system slowdown when running my app in that mode (without SU). It may not happen when the earphone is not plugged in though.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees this problem. To get the same experience when rooted, deny SU to Spirit when it starts.
April 13 free version is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g4d0at7b3nc3p1z
Thanks !

I can test this.

Will test...
Still perfect sound.
On new phone, HTC unlocked but not rooted; dead stock.
Must be not plugging proper earphones in.. I've heard if the chord is too short it doesn't pich up as the antenna it should be ::shrug::
Ya want me to test free version too? I got unlocked and it picks up more stations than my car radio.. no lie.

No further testing needed, thanks !
Versions prior to the UI update seem fine, and now he's set Theme to Dark and it looks like the problem may be gone. I'm still wondering how that might be a problem though.

I just got a VM WFS primarily because it has FM radio. However, even after downloading the HTC widget I could not get it to work?
Do all VirginMobile WFS have FM radio? I'd purchase the lite version on Google Play but I'm not sure if it would work...
I tried the above link for the free version of this app but the file is no longer there.
Any ideas/thoughts?
Thanks,
Nick

【RADIO】The latest versionRadio_HERO_63.18.55.06S_6.35.17.03

TELUS Updates to HTC Hero to Android 2.1 on on October 26th, 2010
While a lot of people are griping about whether or not their devices will be getting Froyo, most forget that there are still those waiting for an upgrade to Eclair. People like those who use an HTC Hero through TELUS. Well, Canadians, now is your time to shine, as HTC’s website is showing that the HTC Hero on TELUS is getting an upgrade to Android 2.1. While the device may be discontinued, there are still plenty of users who have been dying for this update.
The update includes (obviously) Android 2.1, Google Maps Navigation, Multi-touch, Voice Dialer and more.
To check out the upgrade for yourself, be sure to head over to HTC and get your download on!
What do you think of the wait time for TELUS Hero users? Let us know in the comments!

I think that many people reported such problems when flashing radios. So that might not be specific to this one.
Felt adventurous and flashed this as well, but it doesn't seem to work as well as the PU radio; couldn't get a decent 3G data on my network so I went back.
get this days ago.and the radio works well.

<strike>just tried this on UK T-Mobile. GPS is really slow to lock on to sat's. It took 3 mins to even see 2 sat's.
Back to the old radio for me.</strike>
EDIT:
My phone just rebooted randomly, so I thought I would try GPS Status again...it found and locked on to 8 sat's within 15 seconds.
I will try this for a couple of days!

There is a problem parcing the package????

If is a parcing error you usually have to download on a computer and move it to your phone then install.
I don't think the g2 has been shown to have a FM radio chip inside. Has it? If not tune in (aka radiotime) will work for most major markets.

the phone does have a FM transmitter and receiver....
it's just a matter of getting it on
NAND unlock can't soon enough
APK's not valid, only contains MAINIFEST.MF
FM radio won't be accessible until someone implements it in a custom ROM, like Cyanogen did on the N1. perm root is needed to get the drivers working, etc. it'll happen at some point.

that's what i feared.
If you pulled it from the evo then it's not a 'stock' froyo radio. It's the fm tuner by htc, and it probably requires some sense frameworks to function. Not to mention it probably requires kernel changes.
Sorry to disappoint...
And if I'm not mistaken, isn't the CM fm app a modified version from the MIUI roms?
I'm not sure if it needs much from Sense. I read a week ago that a group got it working. I also read that it was gonna be part of cm6.1.
This was from the Nexus threads.

Yes, yes it is.
Has anyone had anyluck with this since PermaRoot... I cannot get any data connection at work and I miss my Radio?
It will get figured out prob once CM 6.1 stable drops. It's definately the Kernel!!!! I have a nexus one and it's working thru bluetooth somehow. I can play thru the headphones or the speaker using the headphones as an antena...bluetooth must have to be on to connect the kernel to the app. Not sure but hope it helps!!!

I know for a fact it has a transmitter because I installed the Sense ROM on my G2 and the FM app worked.
Theres a difference between FM receiver and transmitter, transmitter is broadcasting pretty much sending music you have on your phone to say your cars FM radio
So I'm assuming you guys dont mean transmitter?
Would be soo awesome if it can transmit!!

HTC Input for cyanogen 7

I was trying to find a working version of the HTC Input keyboard with Cyanogen 7 because I really don't like the stock keyboard. Just wanted to share that I found one, not sure if everyone already knew or not but I thought I may as well just in case.
here's the link
The version that works is the High Res(Froyo/2.2), I haven't tested very much but it seems to be working fine.
As a side not, anyone know if there is any way to get the HTC Camera app working on cyanogen? I miss the effects etc. but am loving CM7 at the moment
(N.B. I am using CM7 Nightlies #4)

Because HTC wasn't nice enough to share the source code for the FM radio with the developer community. So the only way our developers know of to turn on the radio is to power up the whole chip, which includes bluetooth. Without the small amount of proprietary HTS code we are helpless to turn it on by itself.

[ROM][CDMA][4.3.1] PAC-Man for SCH-I800 and SPH-P100

Hey guys, I recently found an SPH-P100 in a dumpster (score! :victory and I was quite disappointed to see that there's a terrible lack of development for these devices. As such, I've forked the newest device configuration available on github, and I'll be working to release a wider variety of ROMs and to complete hardware support as much as possible. Unfortunately, there is very little I can do to address the complete lack of 3G support, as I have no service whatsoever on my device.
Now, the ROM! This is a clean build of PAC-man 4.3 for p1c. I have removed the hardcoded verizon-specific properties and model identifiers as a first step towards proper support of both Verizon and Sprint models, but no functionality is changed from the newest CM10.1 builds.
I notice that there are not any PAC builds for p1(l|n) posted either, so if there is adequate interest I may begin builds for those devices as well.
TWRP 2.6.3.0 is the included recovery, and has full SELinux support. (Compatible with KitKat ROMs!)
Downloads
PAC 4.3.1 -- Build Date 1-17-2014:
p1c: Androidfilehost | Direct MD5: 5b817c6c94753f136e3fa7b98d6326c0
Changes:
First build of PAC for this device
You are definately right. As of right now, there are no developers working on the p1c. The last one i remember was stimp0z, and his son broke his tab. So, all the developers are now gsm based. Terenceng does have a kit kat version for the p1c. I have it on my other tab. Anyway, the developers all went to kit kat.
If i can be of help, let me know.

first up - great to see someone working on development for the p1c - good score finding one in the bin!
to make things clearer - i was never a developer for the p1c, my old tablet (the p1 GSM version) was broken by my youngest son recently. my work on the p1c was purely guess work / diagnosed via my testers. p1c lost it's support from it's main developer (jt1134) before kernel 3.0 was released so without a developer to work on p1c related issues, it was hit and miss all the way. both humberos and myself had it booting, but it never worked with data (though attempts were made). now due to a generous donation from one of my CDMA testers, i will soon receive a Sprint tablet he has spare so i can continue developing - which means it will be a lot easier for me to work on issues facing the CDMA variants (but will never be able to test data myself as I live in Australia, not USA).
however - the more developers that work on the p1c the better, so please keep working on whatever you can - also working on something different to CM is definitely called for as i believe the users deserve a choice between custom ROMS for their SGT7.
if you wish to have a crack at data already - shoot me a pm and i'll give you some commits to look into that may help you on your way.
I am another P1C user, the last build around here that worked for me was alrodger's 4.1.2
Terenceng's does not work on my P1C, I am on verizon and it doesn't find the carrier and never activates.
P1C is only $75 on ebay these days for refurbished, great value.
I was kinda hoping to find a kitkat build for p1c that works but none exists and doesn't seem forthcoming by anyone.
I guess I will try 4.3.1
Does this have working usb and wifi tether? That's a biggie for me.
---------- Post added at 06:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:19 PM ----------
Okay I get the same failure trying to install this that I got with alrodger's final build.
using TWRP from the last kitkat flash, I wipe everything except the external sd card
then I try to install the rom and I get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") ==
and a long list of devices
does that mean I have a device not in that list?
it then says
"E:Error executing updater binary in zip"
Also on 4.1.2 on my Sprint tab 7. I'm downloading and will give it a run. I dont have 3G but I'll report back after install.
terenceng is working on 4.4 and has "Coming Soon" for the PC1 but been a while. so now one is working on 4.4.
thanks ultravioletnanokitty for giving the P100 some love.
Update : ROM installed with out issue also used PAC gapps. WiFi OK camera OK feels quicker than 4.1.2. So all good for last 30 minute of use. Thanks for this rom dude nice job.
Cheers
update: okay I remembered how to get back to basics and I used heimdall to sideload cwm bootloader recovery
very fun looking rom, however it suffers from the same problem as Terenceng's:
it does not find the verizon radio/carrier and crashes when I try to manually activate it

TaPpEd from my nOtEwOrThY N2
Hi again, as stated before I do not have 3G connection plan on my Sprint tab, So I cannot test connectivity to 3G. All other functionality I can test.
Rom working nicely, few issues with following apps:
Netflix: movie never starts playing
Youtube: video never starts playing, "There was a problem while playing, Touch to retry"
Pandora: Audio does not start
Google Play Music: Audio does not start
Timely alarm clock: The set time to ring caused app stop
Navigation in all these apps is OK just issue when playing something
Apps working well:
iHeartRadio: Working OK
Gmail: Ok
Camer: pictures OK
Ebay: seems to be working ok but have not tested placing a bid
Let me know what else I can check, weekdays have little time to test but should be able to get something done.
Let me know what you want me to check or report on?
Cheers

Hey great job on the ROM, however I have found some bugs. Upon installing the keyboard didn't work. I installed hackers keyboard. Web videos and audio also do not seem to work either. I was also wondering if charging with USB while the device is on could be enabled.

media playback is flat-out broken in all p1x 4.3+ roms, i believe... also, i've never found charging while the device is on to work at all... if i leave it plugged into my laptop with the screen off overnight, it gets up to 99%. if i want to fully charge it the only option i've found is to power it off and plug it in. i don't have the original samsung charger or cable, though, so that could be it. regarding the keyboard, are you using gapps? i am on my tab, and i don't have any issues... it could be an issue with the aosp keyboard, though.
I just also recently picked up one of these guys, my actual intentions for mine is to get it on verizon prepaid using a extravert as a donor phone and tethering the 3g. I seen a guy offering a service to flash them but I am a bit unsure I would rather do it myself. Have you ever looked into this yet. You might get more bars with verizon than you do with sprint. Plus at like 10 bux a month unlimited internet isn't tp bad ( if you buy a $30 card good for 3 monthes IE $10 a month)
Let me know if I can be of assitance, Looking to flash a light weight rom.

It is my understanding (but not firsthand experience) that verizon can detect this within a couple of months and kill the imei, so be careful.
Instead I got onto a friend's family plan for $10 a month legit (but data cap of course)
Do I install this in recovery?

It is my understanding (but not firsthand experience) that verizon can detect this within a couple of months and kill the imei, so be careful.
Instead I got onto a friend's family plan for $10 a month legit (but data cap of course)

Lets say I work for Verizon in a department that has privy info and tools at my disposal and I will tell you we have a tool called MVD it is a Mobile Virtual Diagnostic it can detect root and will show if the tool is run. The thing is it is only loaded for tools that have the most current version of My Verizon application installed 10.0 or higher. Anything prior to that it won't load your info so root can't be seen with general tech tools. Just FYI... I am happy you all are working on SCH-I800 But I can't seem to find the the Root and Tar files to load... Any image files link?

WOW nice info. Thanks. Another reason to remove every bit of verizon bloat.

Anything new with this ROM?

Well, that explains the lack of sound and the fact that all video apps crash.
Seriously though, this ROM is a significant improvement for me compared to Cyanogenmod 9.1 (4.0.4). My Tab is far more stable than it was, and has only crashed on me once, forcing me to do a factory reset.
Can I flash back to an earlier ROM, say 4.2.2 or 4.0.4, without bricking my Tab? I have seen on the AT&T Galaxy S 3 (SGH-i747) board that S 3s that updated OTA to 4.3 will hard brick if flashed to an older ROM, so I am concerned.
Also, how close in hardware is the p1c to the Galaxy S GT-i9000? I have several i9000 ROMs on my computer, and if it is close enough, I might be able to get media working on mine. Worth a try. :fingers-crossed:

[Q] What do people love about cyanogen mod?

This is my first phone with the capabilities to flash custom Roms and so far I've flashed most of the Roms available for the m9. I have my favorites.
But I've noticed that cyanogen mod has a huge following. What is it that makes this rom so famous? What are the pros and con's of the rom?
I saw that the beta version is out and would love to hear opinions on the rom to buy some time until a stable version is ready for me to test drive.
Thanks for your input

Cyanogen mod is among one of the oldest full-featured android ROMS available. It has survived for so long since it is highly customizable, fast, stable, and gets good battery life. I'd definitely give it a go if you are curious about it. If you don't like it you can always restore from a backup or flash another rom.
I think a major factor in choosing to use it is that it's completely "de-bloated". There is no OEM crap taking up space and wasting battery.
Sure, most of us disable those things or uninstall them with Ti Backup, but it's just so much cleaner never to have had them.
It's really quick, and since it's based on AOSP, a lot more Xposed modules and customizers wwork with it (Like GravityBox, for example).
You should definitely try it out if you're curious. You'll probably like it.
The only downside is that the nightly builds and betas can be slightly dodgy sometimes (though the beta that's out is pretty good, minus the camera) and that since it's closer to a Vanilla android feel than OEM skins, you usually lose some of the device's unique software functionality. (Sometimes these can be re-downloaded from the play store, other times they just won't work)
Make a nandroid (or whatever we call these now. TWRP Backup?) and give it a go!
Thanks. I found this earlier explaining a little. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Main_Page
I still appreciate your opinions and would love to hear more. If there is anything more to add. These guys explained it well.

If you have any questions or I can help with anything just let me know!
On HTC phone I don't use CM nor MIUI, the last time I did was on Nexus 1 years ago.
Though it should be good on samsung and LG + sense 7 port from xpirt
Thanks. @vivremetrique I recognize your name from the cm rom post. Are you one of the devs of the rom? I plan on flashing it soon. But I am going to wait for the camera to get fixed first. Also, will there be any sound mods like viper4android or just an amp?
I'm not sure if its the current rom I'm on or the firmware but it seems like my music isn't as loud as it was a few weeks ago.

No, I'm not one of the devs, just an "enthusiastic" tester and user
I'm really not sure about the sound mods, but I'd imagine that eventually v4a would work properly.
(If it doesn't already, this thread suggests that someone was able to get it working by changing SELinux mode to permissive, but it doesn't seem to have worked for everyone. You can always try it!)
I haven't updated my firmware recently so I'm not sure if an update may have affected sound volume (I'm not sure if you've updated your firmware either, but the CM Beta only works on 1.32.x so far anyway )

Thanks for the link. I didn't know that v4a was actually in the play store. I've only seen it in a custom rom. I actually have the selinux permission app already so definitely worth the try.
I'm on the new 2.8 developers edition firmware right now. But being as flashing firmware is so easy I can switch anytime. Am definitely going to follow the progress of cm and when it looks like most of the bugs are worked out I'll give it a try. Can't really run a beta on my phone because it is my daily driver.
You're welcome!
Keep in mind that you might need to be S-Off in order to tinker with firmware beyond updating it
(On some devices you need S-Off to downgrade or flash unsigned)
I am s-off thanks. Coming from my locked bootloader vzw s3 to this has been amazing. So I've unlocked everything to allow me full flexibility and freedom to customize as I see fit. I may never buy a carrier phone again.
