I'm running Virtuous G-lite, the most recent version on my G2 - just wondering what apps you guys recommend to get FM radio!
Please try to not post the usual crap about stupid commercial radio - I agree with you, I just want to have a radio app, alright?
Hi,
I've only ever heard of one FM radio app besides the stock version, this was Spirit FM, I used to have it installed on a few roms and it usually worked fine.
I believe this is it.
Hope it works for you.
It works perfectly! So cool we can do this! Thanks, mate.

Has anyone gotten the HTC FM radio app to work on either Cyanogen or Openfire yet? If so can you please attach the .apk or tell me how you did it ?

don't think anyone has already succeeded...
hope i'm wrong though
any news on this? the htc radio is much better than the one included in CyanogenMod-7 ...
I'am already thinking of flashing a HTC based ROM...

If you feel that way, do so.
I for one, cannot see any difference whatsoever between HTC's FM and CM7's FM (Except for the number of Preset Stations). Anyway, HTC Apps will never work with CM ROM's, just so you know.

The differences that bug me:
-) Can only store 5 stations
-) The Buttons on the Headset change the frequency by 0.1 mhz, instead of searching the next working station in that direction
Maybe you can take the fm radio .apk from a htc sense based rom???

Yes, storing 5 stations is a downside as I said. But, the way I see it, it is a huge improvement over not having FM at all, which was the case for so long (And looked to be the case even in CM7)
Anyway, as I previously said, if it is a deal breaker, you have no option other than switching to a Sense ROM.

Wont work. HTC Apps require HTC Framework which is not present in AOSP ROMs like CM.
Sorry i just forgot that :S
hmm. yeah well im gonna test CM7 rom some more and gonna weight the pros and cons afterwards. are there any other fm radio apps other than htc and the one included in CM7?
Does anyone knows if there is a rom aosp with radio fm working?? I don't mind if it is froyo or ginger, but I cannot find anything, thanks

cm is aosp? it includes a lot of apps and you know it is cm when going to setting cyanoge..
The additional settings and mods are custom made, but the base is AOSP. What would you categorize it as?
ok, you're right but is it possible to remove all addicional settings and mods ?
That is precisely what DevNull is. But, it's still in Beta, and , it doesn't have FM Radio. If you see CM7, the FM App is developed by the MIUI Devs, which probably implies AOSP doesn't support it yet (Don't quote me on this, I am not a dev). Also, there's an app being developed (Spirit Radio, if I am not mistaken), which claims to enable FM Radio on supported handsets. So you can try that on an AOSP ROM you use.
thx
CM7 is an AOSP rom with useful additions. No reason to choose a clean AOSP rom over it or remove the additions really.
@3xeno Yeah, AFAIK FM radio is not considered standard hardware and therefore vendors have to develop their own FM app.
why does Bluetooth gets turned on when i switch on fm radio ....on CM 7 ???
Because they share the same chip. The difference is Sense hides this fact from you when FM is switched on.
As an avid radio listener, I find it annoying that ROMS like CyanogenMod cannot support FM, unless one purchases an app. Is there any modern ROM that supports FM out of the box?
PS: Sorry mods, how do I move the question to Q&A?
Hey all ,
I have just installed "PACman All-In-One by blindndumb" on my Htc desire hd but i can't find a good app that let me run Radio Fm without streaming , I tried (FM radio,Radio Locator,Spirit Unlocked) but they didn't work, any one can help me please !!
I am also quite interested in which apps are recommended. I personnally always liked the HTC radio app, but since I switched to non-sense roms I don't really use the FM radio anymore.
Can the HTC app be ported to any other rom? or is it locked to sense-based roms?
It would be great to port it! I don't know if you remind but the original reader is quite good (and now that I remember looks a lot to the ibook app...)
I tried to use Titanium to bring it back to new roms but it don't work ..
I have a question, in the original ROM from HTC OneX a normal FM radio is in the zenders that you can receive in your area. Using the heatset This apk also install the custom Rom And I mean no internet radios.
If I understand correctly you're looking for a non-streaming fm radio player other than sense. Spirit is the way to go: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296
