Hello to anyone willing to help, I've recently began missing the fm radio which use to work on stock However appears to be broken with cm is there any way to get fm radio to work again with cyan or am I going to have to learn to live without fm radio? Thanks in advance for any help!
P. S. So far I've tried next radio, Droid fm and a few others that say the chip is unavailable.

I had thought about getting one for the G1, but I kinda forgot about it.
I remembered just now that it would be nice to have one now that I have a new phone, but I wouldn't mind knowing if any of you guys have any experiences and recommendations of a good FM transmitter that I can use.
I found one on Amazon with mostly good reviews, but it seems that most of them are for the Hero, G1, MT3G and Droid. So I'm a bit apprehensive about just buying it without researching first.
Here's the one I'm looking at:

If there are cheaper or better quality FM transmitters, please let me know.
Thanks!
I'd wait on this. It appears that an FM receiver AND transmitter is in the chipset capabilities of the G2, but the question is did they connect an antenna to it. It just got eMMC perma-root, so hold on a week or so--custom ROMs, possibly with this capability, are on their way.
Sweet. I didn't think an FM transmitter could be added within a ROM. That would be awesome!

It can't, but the FM transmitter is already there, so we just need to get software to support it.
If I recall correctly, the Nexus One had the same theoretical capabilities based on it's hardware, however, at this point nobody has taken advantage if it there either :-(

Don't we just need a kernel module and some userland software to interface with it?
Wanted to know if anyone has looked into this any further.

It needs not only kernel module (drivers) and userland interface, but also framework support as well. This is similar to A2DP audio redirection to bluetooth. The kernel has to be able to communicate with the audio device, the framework has to be able to redirect the audio there, and the user has to be able to configure and enable/disable it. It's a big project.

IIRC, the MIUI team was working on FM transmission as well.

They are talking about an FM Transmitter not Receiver Richierich... Yes FM Receiver works fine on CM and Desire roms but we want the Transmitter so we can send audio to the car radio.
Can anyone please tell me what is the difference between Radio 12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M (from the Hack Kit) and Radio 12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2 (from the Android Revolution thread)?
Which, if any, is the original "stock" radio?
Where did the other non-"stock" radio come from?
Are certain radios better for certain ROM's?
I have been switching between Android Revolution and inspired_dhd_vfr series, and it seems that the choice of radio affects the time it takes to get a GPS lock. Does this make sense?
Thanks.
The first radio its the stock att radio...the second its the telus radio...

Dear all,
after buying the i9023 AND realizing there's no FM Radio App which supports the built-in-FM chip (BCM4329) I have a - hopefull simple - "request":
I would really appreciate _everey_ effort if someone of the (xda) Android-developers think about to start with the rollout of an APK to support simple activating and finally listening to good old FM Radio with the Nexus S.
After reading nearly all of the comments on this issue I know I'm not totally alone.
Any help or comments to move forward on this issue is very much appreciated!

N1 has already got one..via cyanogenMod 7
waiting something simillar for NS as well.
From what I've read, although the chip in the Nexus S does have FM capabilities, it may or may not be wired properly for actual utilization. I think there are developers looking into this issue, but it's not guaranteed that the Nexus S will be able to use FM radio. I guess don't give your hopes up, but I don't think it's going to be an easy thing either.
news for radio fm 2013 cm10.1 crespo i9023

there will never be an FM app cause it would require an hardware mod, the fm chip is not working
T-Mobile Sensation 4G running latest Venom ViperS 5.2.1. Flashed the recommended 3.33 RUU for S-OFF before flashing the ROM. Neither the stock FM radio nor SpiritFM give me anything more than random, drifting audio and usually just static. Bluetooth on or off. My wife now tells me it's been that way since it was stock (basically, that the radio hasn't worked for a long time).
Could this be a hardware issue? Is there any particular contact or set of contacts that might be bad between the phone and the case? Thanks.
Is it at all possible to use the FM radio with CM12.1?
I have tried a few different apps and old mods and none seem to work.
Any ideas?
Anyone?
as i know after installing costum rom like CM, you’ll lose Beats audio, which is actually a decent bass booster for your music apps. You’ll also lose the proprietary app for your FM radio. Unfortunately, the HTC FM Radio API is not available to other apps, so if you use the radio a lot then CM isn’t for you.
but please wait to expert users comment on this issue .
I remember some discussions about that and also remember that for using FM radio you need kernel support. There was an alternative FM radio app (not the one from HTC) and I recall some users reported that it's working. To be honest I never used my phone for listening music/radio so I never paid attention to such things. You might try with some of the custom kernels available (Frosted/Bricked, Mrak, IceCode) and see if FM radio works @javelinanddart or @Loreane Van Daal could have something to add here, I think they were also checking that feature

Yeah I think stock CM has Iris Radio FM Support
Spirit2 works great and there's a free (granted, less featured) version to try and see if you like it.
I used it and it worked wonderfully, only thing is (as always) you need headphones for the antenna.
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Spirit2 doesn't get as good reception as the stock HTC FM Radio app but that only works on Sense ROMs
I installed FM radio on cm ROM and it works fine . thanks
