Are there any working FM radio apps for the android?
The stock rom for my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 includes and FM radio app. However the custom rom I installed did not include one, and searching the app market has revealed only a ton of apps that stream radio from the internet (seems every radio station in the country has their own app), and a tuner app that can't even launch without crashing itself.
Both MIUI and CM have FM radio apps. Don't know of any from the market.
There's spirit from the xda app section too

Working FM for Android
Yes sure there is FM radio app exist that will be available and used on the android phones such as "TuneIn". It is basically a great Application because it allows you to listen to around 25,000 FM stations. Isn't that cool? Moreover you can also able to get more radio apps in Android phones

That actually streams FM radio from the internet. True FM radio is a hardware requirement, but with smartphone data plans manufacturers don't really include them anymore.

Thanks, guys! This is actually quite useful, and not something I'd even thought to look for. A lot of gyms have the TV's on FM, so it would be nice to be able to use my phone to tune in.
Better use steam radio or ask for stock fm apk .

Yeah, the internet radio apps won't help you there. You need to have a phone that has FM tuner program. These programs use the headphones as antennas to absorb the radio waves. This isn't something you can download. My experience with these has been poor in the past.

So, it appears the GS3 has radio FM tuner support. The program is $10, though, so I'm not sure I want to try it based on the limited feedback I've read so far. I think I'll check and see if my MP3 player has support and just stick with two devices for now, one for music, one for communications.

I know this one ain't free, and it isn't a native tuner...but it has really helped my life over the years. It's called "Nobex" and somehow you can tune in like every radio station in the country once you get the app. It's $1.99 I think on Google Play, and has a crappy gui, but well worth the cost unless I'm missing a free option somewhere.

does not work under Jelly_Kang v.1.9 (4.1.1) - FC
Besides this I think, the creator of this thread is looking for a FM radio app like Spirit FM and not for a streaming or Internet Radio App.
TuneIn and Nobex stream the Radio FM signal over network and this is not the same like a real FM radio app, which can be used without data connection

In case anybody is interested, I just found this app to listen to Howard Stern on Sirius.
Wunder Radio,
The app works great and the connection is solid. Finally I can listen to howard and all sirius stations without having to use sirius/xm streamer and orb , which was a hassle to set up.
Note- you must have a sirius web account to use the service through wunder radio

Yeah sorry, the app is in the market and it costs $6.99, worth every penny. Just do a market search for "wunder radio", without the quotation marks of course
Also just google "wunder radio android" and you will get some info. Sorry can't post outside links

I'll see how this works. The Sirius Online app is pretty crappy (imo).
Great find, thanks for posting. It's not the smoothest process but I'm just happy to have my Stern back. It's really annoying that Sirius and Howard worked great on my crappy old winmo 6.1 phone but when I upgrade to this beautiful new Android the beautiful SiriusXM app doesn't play Stern. WTF
fyi, howard is also available via XiiaLive Lite app, which is free
how? can't find howard or sirius on xiialive app.
Just testing this on the Tab on WiFi.
The quality is superb. Works perfectly so far

Will have to try it here on the USA, i am running JME European rom. Lets see if i get denied access sin i am not in the UK.
Hopefully it will work for you.

Well what do you know, i can't find it on the market. Can you share the .apk with us?

I have to disagree - it's a massive fail in the scheme of things!
The iPad streams are better quality than the Flash streams we have to put up with, and the BBC could easily make them compatible with all Android devices.
In addition, not being able to use the app over 3G is poor when you consider that you can from the "web" client.

i agree with you in regards to only having it on wifi, they should update it to be able to use it via 3g but then again if you are trying to view videos they would work better on wifi than 3g but but its early on Android so we will have to wait and see..
I have watched 2 programmes and they have worked flawlessly.
I am well happy.

Yes, but I'd rather have the option of watching a slightly lower quality stream over 3G, than no stream at all when you're not near a WiFi hotspot.
The irony is that there were 2 perfectly good 3rd party iPlayer solutions (BeebPlayer and myPlayer) that did (and still do!) work over both 3G and WiFi using the 3GP streams intended for Nokia phones, but the BBC had them removed from the Market.
What they have replaced them with is a Flash based solution which only works on ARM7 class devices thus shutting off a good percentage of Android users.

Dave

Well as i imagined it did not work, it installs and all but the i get the dreaded message "BBC iPlayer is only available within the United Kingdom". Oh well it was worth a try.
Just tested it with a MiFi and it plays fine. I can only get 3G where i live but there didnt seem to be any problems.

There is a way, it's called VPN, but it's hard to find a free UK VPN. Most of them are paid VPNs.

I agree that the ipad version stream is higher quality than the Android. Bit pissed off with the beeb for that... also as mentioned there are some oddities with presentation when using it on the tab. Hopefully these things will be addressed soon. Not a bad first effort though, and useful for the live tv feed if nothing else.

can anyone help with keeping the iplayer app running?
On my 10.1, it opens a web browser. When i play something like a radio program, you need to keep on that page. If you navigate away from the page or even lock the tablet, the iplayer stops. This means you have to just leave the tablet displaying the page your listening too. This will obviously run down the powqer quicker. Surely you can multitask on the 10.1?
When you upgrade to Android 2.3.3, also unlock the music enhancements immediately that come with this release! You can do so by installing the new MusicFX control panel from the Android Market (search for MusicFX).
It will enable the bass boost, equalizer, and 3D surround experience to the Android Music player! (and allow you to set it to your personal preferences)
Enjoy!

OK Here it is
Since I used this app just a day ago and did a nandroid, I restored, found it and here you go. Attached is the apk. Goes in /data/app. I use root explorer typically. I have not tested if this will install using typical file manager click on the file. For those that install the manual method of adb or root explorer, typically reboot after the install to have it work. Also is screen shot for correct permissions. Enjoy.....

Good dude!
Keep posting about ur feature+. Its tempting u know..
I really love this route 66 aplication,It gives inch by inch navigation,even a slight movement in the direction is shown. One downside is its asking to get a license for voice based navigation.
I guessed so it to be a paid app of some sort which samsung is trying to push.
@ bala, is it offline navigation application with built in maps for india??? Then quite surprising, bcoz the ROM is meant for Europe.
@SGS,
You mean Samsung pushing Route 66 for purchase in EU countries not in india.

yes i tweeted supercurio he said the sl doesnt carry a famed wolfson dac as the galaxy s.but my theory is this somehow manages to gets rid of the ****ty samsung eq values that take much of the quality of the audio(refer to my posted thread).so i guess the tweak helps a bit.try n see if you find something different............no harm in trying.rebooting your phone will revert this tweak back to its default values.so no hassles in going back to default settings
Supercurio only told me that we don't have Wolfson (then who's son we have as audio ) DAC but he also told me that something can be done with alsa_mixer
Is there some config file that can be created and placed in init.d so that settings stay after reboot ?

That may depend -- does that have it's own app, or is that app a "system" app on the phone?
I'd just try it, and see what happens. If it doesn't work out, go back to the way it was before.
-Uninstall your pandora app. If you can't, this may not work
-install this version
-use it, and see how it goes...
You can't have this and the "real" pandora installed at the same time. But i seriously doubt you could hurt anything to try. Just keep an eye on data use before and after.

I do not believe this app is up to date. I also believe this app now violated XDA's ToC and is considered "warez"
Pandora has since put a stop to the majority of things developers were once able to do to the app in order to get these things done. Server sided.
I have a subscriptiion to Pandora One, and I must say for the $4.99 it is amazing... I get a large number of skips and higher quality audio you can tell the difference, playing through the aux cord, headphones, or bluetooth audio.
Sorry to tell you won't find anything like this on XDA. If you are that hard pressed for an app like this look for another source. It was not my work to begin with.
