I speak little English, why do not we ask in the forum of nexus one for developers who have created the applicazioneper fm radio??

I found one FM radio apk. It installs and opens but it keeps staying on FM Radio is being launched and just keeps spinning and spinning

I dont think it would be hard to port, the SGS phones use the same broadcomm chip for wifi, blutooth and FM so porting it over along with part of the touchwiz framework shouldnt be all that hard, but what do i know, im not really a dev

I think we need a hardware driver along with an apk. Did the devs who brought it to the N1 have to write a driver as well?

Yea, it was a driver that used the bluetooth portion of the chip to spit out audio

[Q] FM Radio on Galaxy S 4G?

I heard that some models of the Galaxy S line have FM Radios built in. Anyone know if it's built-in and disabled, or if it's on and we just need an app for it?
I've looked in the market for an FM radio app, and for a solution but found nothing.
Any ideas?
Officially, I've seen it's nonexistant, but some seem to have doubts.
Thanks in advance.

I too would like to get this feature working. From this site:
http://www.chipworks.com/en/technic...rdown-of-the-samsung-galaxy-s-4g-smart-phone/
It says that the hardware is there. So it's only a matter of someone figuring out how to remove the block!

do you have to have a certain model like I had a mytouch 3g but there were so many different models 32a and 32b and voderfone so is it the same case for the SGS4G

Well there are a few hardware specification mistakes; for example, it says the CPU is Samsung manufactured, while it is in not that, but a Hummingbird CPU.
Hummingbird was codeveloped by Samsung and Intrinsity. Check wiki.

Who knows.
Why not just download a radio app and use that? You get way more stations that way.
Sigh. Wish someone would figure out the right answer. And if it does have a tuner, turn it on! Oh well...

Uses data, and probably a lot more battery compared to a tuner.

The bluetooth problem:

Could anyone who understands the inner workings of the CM and chopsticks crews shed some light on the bug resolution process.
I'm particularly interested in the bluetooth audio problems when making or receiving a call on the cars BT system. Seems it's wide spread and discussed on many threads but I've never seen it mentioned outside of forums like XDA and other Android user forums. Do you think it is on their list? Can someone post a link to a bug reporting site. I have bugzilla but I think thats for the AOKP roms .

I also use the Bluetooth in my car and would like for someone to post any way on how to fix it. I'm using orthus 3 ROM works great.

If there was a fix it would be widely known already. From what roger_n posted in the Paranoid Android thread (I think it was that one) the issue is in audio routing, not BT audio, and needs to be fixed by a core CM dev, as it's not skyrocket specific.

So the fact that it's been around so long is because these core CM devs are super busy..or are they even aware there IS a problem, or is it just low pri.
I can't speak for the devs, but I do believe it's a time issue, not that they don't know about it.

Well here's hoping they find the solution soon. I'm a little concerned about a work-around I've heard about where you turn off the blue tooth and then back on after the initial connection....Very dangerous while driving. And costly too. Here In B.C. there's a $175 fine for fiddling with your cell phone while driving.

Most likely a low priority, as there is not a Samsung released JB rom for the Skyrocket.

I know it's lame, but what I ended up having to do in this issue was to even before I moved out of park I would disconnect and reconnect my BT. Often times though I found that just switching off the car radio (BT enabled Parrot Rythm-N-Blu), remove the face plate, count to 15 and put the face plate back on then turn the radio back on would do the "trick."

I can pull down the menu and toggle BT easier than I can dial a number while driving...and yes, Ontario has the same fines.
aii for the last time just use a different rom. im using JB official by CM9 for skyrocket - stable version 2.
it's no cm10 but full BT car audio talk the works!!! it works, end of story cm9 SOLD!!!
Try the new official nightly

There's already similar posts on this. CM10 doesn't have the fix yet, if you want a working BT grab the official CM9 stable version - I've reverted back to as I have the same issue as you ie: car BT is a big deal for me.

HTC changed their FM audio methods in JB. My FM app supports that.
Perhaps an HTC FM app from a JB ROM will work, whether for Rogers or Euro OneX(L) or the app from HTC One or whatever.
I think it needs to be from an HTC phone using WCN3660 FM/combo chip (and Qualcomm S4+ SOC). An HTC app for Broadcom or TI combo chips won't work for the FM control function.

It's possible to make it work if there is a connection between chip and headphone jack. (For antenna)
I talked to the developer of SPIRIT FM and he told me this
Code:
Thanks for the log.
It looks like it has a Qualcomm FM/BT/WiFi combo chip.
But the kernel does not have the needed Qualcomm "IRIS" V4L FM driver at /dev/radio0.
Disabling the kernel driver is pretty unusual; even Google Nexus devices don't do that, despite that their FM antenna pins are hardware disabled.
A kernel that supports the FM V4L driver is needed to test any further.
Let's see
The easiest thing I have found which I listen to local channels is I-heart radio. I've had many phones in the past that had FM but never used it because I get what I want from I-heart radio and I use Bluetooth headset with mine.

I-Heart Radio is good but it uses bandwidth not all local radio stations are available.
Interesting, I'd love to see if having this included in a custom kernel will make an FM tuner app work..

not sure how that's used. OPO is a BT 4.1 device, so i'm not sure that they've identified the correct part.

Well if you can zoom in the picture and look on chip itself it clearly shows as WCN3680. And as per BT 4.1 its just a patch it can applied to most or all 4.0 devices.
I've asked Franco to look into it as well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/orig-development/kernel-franco-kernel-r1-t2800871

I was checking my opo ..fooling around and saw this "Qualcomm WCN3680" and then I saw an FM radio hmmm I thought OPO didn't have, then google it and here we are
Why use a chip with fm tuner and disable it? ..unless it's defective ones from qualcomm with fm tuner in a non working condition ..but cheaper

I'd love to try this, but I do not know that much about building my own kernel. Anyone else that is willing to try this or can at least point me in the right direction?
Why almost all the customize ROMs do not include FM radio function?
FM radio is not important, but useful and happy with that.
Maybe this will help : https://android.googlesource.com/ke...4-kitkat-mr1/drivers/media/radio/radio-iris.c
Its true. I hope CM folks can enable it.

[Q] Oneplus X FM radio on Oneplus One?

Oneplus Just released kernel sources for opx, that is FM capable and has an FM radio app. I don't know if this can help in porting the FM on opo. Sadly, spirit FM developer stated that is an hardware limitation.
Let me know what you think :/
OPO doesn't have an FM receiver so nothing could be done

The OpO SOC is FM capable, however OnePlus didn't wire up the receiver to the headphone jack. No hope, unfortunately.
