I have an htc one x AT&T unrooted phone
I was wondering is there any FM Radio apks that work with the htc one x AT&T version that do not require data connection.
Thanks
Clean ROM has this enabled.
You are going to need to be rooted to make this happen. Pretty sure of that.

This is correct. I'll have to find it when I get to work, but there is a thread around here that provides a set of deodexed apks. All you need to do is get the FM radio apk from that zip file, put it in /system/app, and change permissions to rw-r--r--. Worked for me.
--------------------------EDIT----------------------------
Apk can be found in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25636866&postcount=2
You don't need the Fm Radio Service apk, it's already on the phone.
(Rooted Stock 1.85)
You need root and you need to be deodexed. Full thread here:

Similar info to the previous response, just the thread specific to the FM radio mod.

You don't actually need to be deodexed if you just place the FM apk in system/app.
(I know that's what the instructions say, but I haven't deodexed and it works fine)

Thanks for the clarification.
Thanks for all help, but for some reason whenever I do root it doesnt work and it says permission denied and waiting for phone to reboot.
Need more details. What firmware version, and what root method?
I have the 1.85.502.3 att version, with root method one click root.
Whenever i try it and do the reboot thing if there is an error it always says waiting for phone to reboot and permission denied.
How many times have you tried? I know it sometimes takes several tries, and you have to set the clock on the phone a day or 2 ahead each time you try.
I haven't used the 1.85 root method myself (rooted back on 1.73). So you'll likely get more experienced help asking on the thread for that root method.
be sure usb debugging is on otherwise i'm pretty sure that the commands sent won't work on the phone, such as reboot, etc
Can you use this in plane mode?
Mine will not work unless I have data + wifi enabled.
nvm I just got it to work, I did it manually and got it rooted.
Thanks for help guys.
now i have problem with radio lol, I moved both to system/app but they arent showing up. How do you do permissions to make them work?

Depends on what app you are using to copy the files. On Root Explorer, there should be a button at to of the screen to mount the directory as R/W. ES File Explorer, I think you have to hit menu, than "mount as root" or something like that. Then copy the FM radio files, and long press on each file to change permissions.
I did all of that but it still doesn't work.
How do you get to mount as root. I transferred files over but it still doesn't work.

To mount the file system in ES go to settings and at the bottom you will need to click on root explorer then mount accept that then click on the option below it "Mount File System"
Side note: I did all the requested things and am still unable to install the HTC FM widget from the earlier posting. just says install failed or cannot install, something like that. But I am using CleanRom, maybe its not meant for that?? Not sure I even need the FM widget but I don't think CleanRom comes with a widget, just the icon.

You may need to push through ADB as it was taken from a flashable package.
Edit: I can confirm this works. Just installed it on my phone. Rebooted and got the "whats new" screen when first opening gmail. Also reply button is at the top along with all other changes.
To install, copy over to /system/app with root explorer or push through ADB with "adb push Gmail.apk /system/app"
Verified also working on other phones. Also, if you are on an odex'd rom, make sure you delete original .apk and .odex files.
works good on Fresh 3.1.0.1, thanks!
I am running BS 1.4 and I can't get it to work. I was an idiot and overwrote the original gmail.apk. Do yall have the original froyo gmail.apk.
Thanks ahead.
Never mind I got it to work and I love it.
Thanks superevilllama!!!
I can install the APK onto my phone but I wouldn't mind waiting for the official release of the app.
Does anyone know how it will become available? Is it through an OTA or will it be in the Market?

If I would have posted that, I probably would have searched the marketplace first to find out that no you cannot, at least not yet.

Try just cut and paste with root explorer and reboot. A whole lot easier.
Either way you have to mount /system/app as RW before it will let you modifiy it.

Hey thanks for this. Never tried Root explorer - worked like a charm. Dunno why I've always been messing with terminal and adb when it's been this easy
I'm trying to replace an apk with a skinned apk, but I can't, because root explorer refuses to mount anything as r/w, only r/o. No matter how many times I press the button, or hold it, etc.
Anything I should try to fix?

i asked this question on another thread but figured i'd bring it here since it's more on topic with this one. i'm running stock 2.2 and trying to delete the FB app in order to replace it with a transparent widget. with root explorer i tryed erasing facebook.apk but was unsuccessful. i was directed to mount it as R/W. should i have mount options even tho my phone isn't rooted? i ask because i didn't have the option to change to r/w. i went ahead and searched xda and read a few different threads but didn't find anyone asked about not having the option. i also searched google and viewed a few youtube video's just to find out what they were describing to me (since i didn't see the option). i was going to reinstall the app but apon uninstalling was also refunded my $. i'm sure it may be a stupid question but i figured i'd ask it anyways since at the moment i don't seem to have any other use for root explorer. thnx.

Why buy root explorer if you aren't rooted...? And even though the mount options are there, it won't work
my original question (on another thread) was how do i uninstall FB running stock 2.2. the answer i received from a member was to use root explorer to delete it. being that i stated i was running stock 2.2 and i was instructed to use root explorer to delete it, i figured i didn't need to be rooted. ya i know it says "root" explorer...i also read a few comments in the app page (on the market) that stated "best file explorer weather rooted OR NOT". looks like i was wrong. either way thx for the help and the quik response

Hi, I'm new here and I this is my first droid, so i need some help. I have done an extensive search and looks like I'm the only one with this problem.
I've rooted my g2x (2.3.3), etc, installed the notification led, change permissions to rw-rw-rw (sys/devices/plataform/star_touch_led/wled), so far so good. But when I reboot (turn off/turn on) the phone my permissions get back to rw-rw-r. So every time I turn on the phone I have to change it manually.
What am I doing wrong? Am I missing something? Phone problem?

Well for one, when you install the app there's no need to change its permission like that. Maybe that's why it switches back after a reboot..

That's on Froyo.
On gingerbread, this app doesn't work that way. If I dont change the permissions it will never work. It's like when I turnoff/turn on the phone the permissions get back to "factory data reset".
Anyone with the same problem?

Well, finally it's solved. Dunno how, but the permissions doesn't' change anymore. Thank anyway.

Do you have the latest version from the Market. It detects whether or not the file is readable and asks you if it can make changes, and then gets superuser permissions. It must set the file settings every time the phone boots. If you do have the latest version try going into the program interface itself and see if there are options for this. If you cannot find them, simply uninstall the program (delete its data first) and then reinstall it. The first time you run it the program should go through whatever it needs to do to get su permissions, etc. You must be rooted on GB for this app to work.
I am rooted, I know how to use that apparently but fir some reason it doesn't detect anymore. But I got a modified version from the Dev and it skips the detection part. The dev said he figured out why it was doing it. Might be an update or something ..

Odd.
In the original firmware I was able to edit build.prop to change my dpi to 120 but now I cannot. It won't save any changes. Also, I tried pasting an .apk into my /system/app folder and it blocked me. Then I tried pushing it with adb and it gave me a read-only error.
I know I am rooted - can run Titanium Backup, etc.
Anyone have any idea?

Did you try another root explorer?
Root explorer can be finicky.
Also try clearing it out of super su and and reallowing it. Or wipe app data.
But from my experience with root explorer, I have always hated it!! Try File Manager HD, It is great and has root explorer and system mountable all the time

Downloaded File Manager HD. Tried replacing the Snotes.apk. No dice. All attempts do do anything with that .apk fail. Seems pretty well locked down.
Same thing with build.prop. No changes will save.

I was wondering if you have resolved this issue because im having the same problem now. Do you recall doing anything that may have caused this issue? Everything for me started going heywire once i installed init.d support just a second ago. I Can r/w and r/o in certain parts of the system but i cant paste anything anywhere. I also noticed increase cpu load afterwards. Might i add this is the second time i have had these issues after installing init.d support script. The way i solved this the first time was i had to odin stock firmware and this solved everything. Id like to refrain from doing this again though because ill loose all my stuffs and have to set everything up again.

How did you achieve root? In other threads, problems with write access to /system are reported when a rooted firmware was flashed. Only the method with CWM (install CWM, flash SuperSU) did work.

Oh the first time i rooted with the CWM method. But the second time, i did odin a rooted firmware Now that i think about it, the first time i was able to write to /system but now i can't after a rooted firmware flash. So the init.d script wasnt the problem. I just made an assumption because before, i havent touched anything in /system but when i installed init.d script it was actally the first time i tried to edit /system after the rooted firmware. So yes looks like im going to have to odin a stock non-rooted firmware. Thanks man! Makes alot of since now.
edit: couldn't i just try the cwm method and see it it overwrites, cause the only UEALGB firmware i can find is prerooted. I don't want to switch to UEALH2.

Try Root Explorer(or ES File Explorer) & enable R/W for system files
Check your SuperSU/Superuser app.
See if your access is granted & not denied.
If SuperSU/Superuser asking for update, update it (usually binary update)
If your SuperSU/Superuser is gone, re-install it from Play Store & run it for the first time to update binary.
Retry modifying your system file(s)

Root Explorer. Have to set it to R/W before doing the edit. It may be that the system is mounted as read only in the app you're using. You may have to change it in the settings of the app you're using. In Root Explorer, there's a small button. Upper right side of the screen while viewing the folders. If the system is mounted R/O, it'll say "mount R/W". Press on it and then do the edit.
You do have to be rooted for it to work though.

Still not working for me, I changed it to 0 then my phone reboots and when I go back to root explorer it still says 5
Edit: Nvm I got it, thanks
Are you rooted? If so, check your superuser app to see if Root Explorer has root permissions. Also, if it's still set to 5 when you reboot, is the backup file there or not? If not, it sounds like a root problem of some sort to me.

Yes
I can't get it to work either. Change stuck even after reboot ?
Yes. But, you need to click on that button that says mount r/w before you do the edit. If you do that and it still doesn't work, something isn't right with your root.
Are you permanently rooted or are you using weak sauce for root? If the latter, the changes won't stick if you do a normal reboot. Rebooting is necessary for the setting to take effect. With weak sauce, you have to do a hot reboot for things to stick. Things will only stick if you do a hot reboot. A normal reboot will result in your change or changes reverting back to the original meaning you'll have to do it over again. It'll work as long as you only hot reboot. If you're using weak sauce for root, you really should consider getting permanently rooted.
This worked, thanks!
Ahhhh ok makes sense. Yea I'm only weak sauce rooted so I'll get it permanently rooted then
