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 ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
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?
Hi peeps, i am the proud new owner of a rooted Desire (lucky me) and i think i know which ROM i would like to try.Its gonna be one of the sense HD ones i think (these are hacked from the Desire Z and HD i take it).But im not sure if it will do what i want.The only one i have found which i think i can use says no camera yet, is this the case or has a stable one with all the trimmings been finished.Dont wish to sound too dumb but there are that many its pretty hard to know what you should be looking for.Any helps good help, thanx in advance.
Desire Z and HD Roms dont have a camera yet, its still under development, there is a thread under the development section adressing this issue if you would like to know more as to why the camera isnt working as of yet ... but its only a matter of time. Both the z and hd roms are stable and work well (big up to the developers!) its only the camera that doesnt work yet and that doesnt really bother me
These two roms are very similar, some differences:
1. Music player doesnt rotate in z
2. rosie doesnt rotate in hd
3. no srs etc in z (not that i really noticed the difference)
If you cant go without a camera i would suggest leedroid or auraxtsense ... also sense roms.
But go and play around, try different roms until you find one that you really like!
Hey, hope there aren't a lot of threads with the same question but i didn't find one.
I will root my Desire the next days and then want to update to a custom rom.
There are some things i really need:
1. A2SD (that i can store any apps on the SD card)
2. Stable (NO bugs)
3. Sense (maybe normal sense, but might be also a port from the desire HD/Z)
4. Fast-Browser WITH Flash
5. (not so important) a Rom which is not overloaded and themed, i like the way sense looks, with all it's fonts and pictures.
Would ne great if someone could tell my what rom he would suggest for me and my needs.
Thanks
iNsertCoin HD/Z Port 1.9.5
in the video the menu seems to be a bit laggy. and the equalizer doesnt work. not that i need it but i dont like roms where something doesnt work... why would you recommend this to me?

One more voice for "iNsertCoin HD/Z Port". I am still using older version "1.8f".. No FCs, very nice and smooth. No lags for me.
Cool sense Cool Z v6 (i can't get V7 to work properly(its still in beta))
The HD roms from my pov, the fonts too small for my old eyes

I have been using the REMIxHD and it all seems to work very well, very fluid lag free flash works standard browser so might give dolphin ago. But then again when I got the LG GT540 on 2.1 thought it was good at the time.
I am using standard leedroid 2.3d. Working great for me and fits into your criteria.

The phone runs an older verison of the ROM in the video, which was laggy. EQ does not work, desire lacks of hardware.
I think you should go with a 2.2 Froyo ROM such as LeeDroid and not the HD/Z ports or Gingerbread.
I used to have RCMIXHD 3.0 A2SD and had a great experience with it. Surprisingly fast.
If Sense is not a priority for you, I'd recommend Oxygen or MIUI XJ, way smoother than any Sense HD port.
I used to love sense too. Sense is lovely.
These days though I realise that it's just eye candy - free yourself and get rid of it.
Go for Redux 1.0.2 (Gingerbread) which is the fastest smoothest ROM I've used (and I've used a lot).
Launcherpro has some god damn accurate Sense style widgets built in, and you can easily mod its dock to look the same as the sense dock, so you can have the sense look and feel, whilst still being able to use all the free space that sense usually takes up
This is what I'm currently running and I'm really happy with it.
free yourself and get rid of it.

I had a HTC hero before and used Android without sense, but the audio player for example sucks ...
i think i will stick to froyo and sense until the official gingerbread+sense comes out and someone has rooted it and created a custom rom.
Or is there anything in gingerbread that ist better than in froyo?

Actually i think LeeDroid is overloaded. The pictures i've seen are full with custom logos, fonts, etc, etc.
I Just want the original sense/sense HD style.
What ROM would you recommend? What about the Rooted Stock Roms?
And another question: Does slowing down the CPU when screen ist of (what is possible in some ROM's) really help for more battery life? I'm not really convinced and afraid of destroying anything on my loved HTC Desire..

There is nothing like that in LeeDroid. i think you are getting a wallpaper
confused with the os. or maybe you saw a boot animation and got it
confused either way it is "stock" sense with tweaks and it runs very
nicely. I swear by it anyway and put it on all my friends desires.
I went to HD roms but they either start running slow or take
too long to open things like the music player, this all bugged me so i
ditched it. I got the feeling that it wasnt designed for this hardware.
It might be good by now but who knows.
With leedroid i set the cpu scaling to "smartass" so it dips when nothing
is happening or the screens off and rises back to the top when in use.
"ondemand" does the same i believe but each governor has its advantages.
This all helps battery life but i cant say how much because ive been
running it for so long i dont notice.
Leedroid also has an intergrated fix for the charge issue with sense roms where
the battery is never at 100% when you take it off charge.
Try StarBurst lite is what you are looking for,
its Stock Sense with simple D2Ext. Kernel is LeeDroid 2.3 from snq - major Battery saver.

or try dsixda's Kitchen and cook your own Stock ROM with A2SD and just flash snq's Kernel.

Im using coolexe hd version 7,got a2sd sending apps to memory card. Batterys good,pretty much the same,but this is dependant on the amount of apps and things you get id say, The hd sense is much better in my opinion,more customization. Htc.com onboard but only some things work,lovely rom though id take that one a go,insertcoins good also,ive tried aurax also.all good.try them all mate,once you know the score test as many as u want!
A simple, stable gingerbread would be Oxygen 2.0.1.
A feature rich, fully customiseable alternative is the Cyanogen ROM (link in signature).
Choose whatever suits your needs.
I found this topic that is what I want to know. I hope it is not wrong to revive this thread.
I would like to root my Desire soon and update it to a custom rom.
There are some things i need:
1. Stable (NO MAJOR bugs -calls, sms, wi-fi, camera and basic functions should be working with no problems)
2. Android 2.3.4 or 2.3.5
3. A2SD (so i can store any apps on the SD card)
Would like to have, but not a must: Only if it works without laggs and buggs.
4. Sense 3.0 or 3.5 (for example like one from the desire HD)
I have htc Desire with official 2.3.3 Android (that I instaled from htc website) and is not rooted yet. I want to root and instal one of the newest android on my phone.
Therefore I would ask for some help, to help me choose the right one for me. I'm considering one of those:

Would be great if someone could tell me which rom would you suggest for me. One of those 3 or perhaps one I misslooked.
I'm sorry for my spelling mistakes...
I'm grateful for any help or suggestion I might get.
Just installed Runnymede AIO V4.0 Special Edition, runs really smooth.
Before i switched to CM7, i used Insert coin and it was really really fast and was stable only reason i switched to CM7 was due to better themes and more settings
This is all really helpful, thanks so much to all you guys for doing this!!
My quick question on this, any of the roms that pretty much emulate a standard experience, e.g. the Starburst, plus app2sd functionality, any of these also support ad hoc wifi?
I believe there are ways of custom installing it, though are there (simple) roms out there which include it already?

Me too i have flashed older version of the Runnymede AIO and i am very satisfied ,its stable ,fast ,no laggy ,with htc sense and a lot of updates .The best for me from rom with sense .
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.
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
