I read that Eugenes froyo ROM has the FM radio apk, and it actually produces static, which means the radio is actually being powered and sending back some sort of signal. Maybe the app is just tuning to the wrong stations(in asia they use even numbered bands). Maybe all we need to do is modify the apk to tune to odd numbered bands?
Porting libs did not seem to produce any results but i also read the "cross flashing" the kernal of the galaxy s and the vibrant could produce some results.
Any dev wanna get cracking on this?
Hey idk if you've read through this yet but check it out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738318
just showing you since its related.
In the FMRadio settings in the app you can select your region. The FM radio shows up in android.policy.jar, services.jar, framework.jar. I decompiled all 3 from the i9000 dump and the Vibrant and ran a diff on the smali files. The only difference I have found between the 2 the device names present which are just text strings. So everything is on my phone. When I press play or try scanning for stations the phone restarts before anything is sent to logcat I am stumped atm.
This is everything I have found that has to do with fmradio that is on my phone right now:
*/etc/asound.conf
*android.policy.jar, services.jar, framework.jar
*/lib/modules/Si4709_driver.ko
*/system/lib/libfmradio_jni.so
*/system/bin/si4709_test
*/system/app/FMRadio.apk (deodexed)
*uncommented fm radio module in the init.rc
*Secret code *#*#0368#*#*
Maybe its disabled in the actual Broadcomm chip? Maybe we would need to enable it via JTAG?

I don't think jtag is even necessary. The bcm4329 it set to download a firmware every time it is loaded, so it would be just a matter of finding the right firmware (currently in /system/etc/wifi) and/or nvram settings (.txt files in that same dir). THere are some interesting settings in there (i9000 version actually has comments), but nothing seems directly related to FMradio. In fact, most strings are the same between the vibrant and galaxy.
OR there is a setting in the 1st bootloader (boot.bin) that changes the address of the FMradio part.
Also, when I loaded eugene's froyo rom, I did NOT hear static. I didn't get the "cannot turn on fm radio" message, but nothing else happens either. Although there are no reboots during 'si4709_test -p up' like in stock vibrant.
Also, I've played with a few things in the kernel/si4709 driver. One doesn't seem to make any change, another causes the phone to reboot
Code:
// FM radio reset pin control
//s3c_gpio_slp_cfgpin(GPIO_FM_RST, S3C_GPIO_SLP_PREV);
Uncomment that in 'wm8994_aries.c'. Recompile. Flash zImage. No change.
Like I speculated in the THINKTANK thread, stock 4709/kernel expect the FM radio at ic2-8, 0x20 but there is no such device in the vibrant. There is an unclaimed device in i2c-12, but changing the si4709 code to point to that and I get reboots during an attempted scan.
No 9000 teardowns I've seen metion the si4709 so I can only assume that samsung uses the si4709 kernel module to interface with the bcm4329 via i2c.
I would like to try loading the 4329 fw from the gxs on the vibrant and see if that changes anything.
Other than this, most stuff seems the same in the code.
radiotime
have any of you considered just getting radiotime. its a program that has radio through streaming data. and if ur local stations have streaming audio it would show up in the local stations tab. i use it. its really ok. yest it uses the data portion of the phone. i understand you guys are trying to figure out to use the phones antenna for local stations. but in the meantime if interested. try google'in the program radiotime.
Im personally less concerned with the receiver then the transmitter, and getting the receiver working is just a step towards that theoretical wonder
You cant transmit FM radio using an app. You need the actual radio working. imagine being in a car and listening to music over your amazing car speakers rather than headphones.
You sir entirely miss the point.
No one wants to use data.they want the fm radio.

Hello, I have been on the planet longer than you.
The point here is to find a. Whether the fm chip is present. B. Whether it can be activated and used. And c. How to apply that knowledge into a rom form or apk to avoid heavy data usage of streaming. The obvious radio streaming apps though having a similar application are not necessarily helpful in this thread.

I don't know of any phone that has an FM transmitter built into it, there are several that do however have FM receivers but as far as I have read on it the Atrix isn't one of them. I would suggest buying an FM transmitter from the store, I picked up a Belkin brand transmitter for $15 from a local Walmart.
Best I understand is the chip actually has FM built in but its just not activated or some nonsense, least what I read somewhere
There are in fact some phones that have this capability (which is awesome, in my opinion) but they're few and far between. I'd advise buying a Motorola T505...I have two and I love them.
I know phones had fm possibilities but weren't implemented untill a dev was able to pull it off. Eg nexus 1 but that was listening to fm not broadcasting so id say no but maybe 2.3 moto update will surprise and its in there somewhere. Till then, with locked boot, have to say no. I use an auxiliary 3.5 mm jack but fm trans r a dime a dozen. Navigation pauses music says take a left n back to the jams LOVE IT^_^

Please do not mistake an FM receiver for a transmitter. These are two different modules as they do two different things.

Im sure it doesnt, but the atrix is capable of transmitting to an FM transmitter via bluetooth, which is handy because fewer wires are involved

There are many phones that have FM Transmit enabled on them.
However you would be correct in saying none that are android based.
The most similar to android would be the N900 which uses the maemo OS
, its about 60% open source so its as close as they come.
From what I've read, the US version of the Atrix does have the FM chip, but they're not sure if it's hardwired into the system. Meaning, that it may not ever be functional on our phones. Last I read, they were awaiting the actual schematics to see if they could figure it out.

Or someone can take their atrix apart, look, and report back. From what I've read the chip supports receive/transmit both. I'd say it's hooked up just not enabled but I have no proof, just a guess.

Nobody knows for sure yet because it hasn't yet been done and published. In theory bluetooth can be activated by software though. I'd venture to guess the same is true for GPS.

Both could potentially be "activated", because the chip does support it... but that doesn't mean that it will be worth anything. The GPS almost certainly does not have an antenna on it, and the BT range will likely be crap like on the NookColor for the same reason (no antenna.)
So, the GPS even if we get it working, will still be useless for its intended purpose, while the BT might be able to get working for a very-short-range. (2~3 feet?)

I would venture that when the bluetooth is enabled, we'd be able to use the fm radio app cause it uses the headphone cable as an antenna. But isn't 2-3 feet ok for a bluetooth ear piece so you can skype or googletalk with it?

There is only three ways to know.
1. Build a custom rom that supports GPS and Bluetooth, then try it out.
2. Wait till the devs build you a custom rom, and find out.
3. Consult your crystal ball. =]
Heck,
the only reason why I want bluetooth enabled is do I can use a bluetooth keyboard. (which I know they where able to do with the Nook Color)

Typically on a regular stereo headphone plug you have a 1/8" TRS plug. TRS stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve. Generally Tip would be Left ear (+), Ring is Right ear (+) and Sleeve is common ground.
The "3 ring" plug you are talking about is 1/8" TRRS, or Tip-Ring1-Ring2-Sleeve. Generally speaking, the configuration of these are:
Tip=Left
Ring1=Right
Ring2=analog input (mic)
Sleeve=Ground
This is the case for the Rezound's plug. Ring2 is for input (headset-mic, or for analog signals sent from devices such as Square dongle or the music control buttons on the iBeats headphones)
Plugging in a regular set of stereo headphones without the 2nd ring (TRS) simply disables the input by grounding it out (Ring2 and Sleeve contacts are both touching the "sleeve" of the TRS plug). To the best of my knowledge, the Rezound isn't capable of using this 2nd ring contact as an antenna lead, as plugging in a set of headphones with a mic (iBeats) would totally nullify any ability for that lead to act as an antenna. The coil in the microphone would absorb any signal that might be received on that wire.
I PM'ed Abu7 the link. When I google htcfmradio.apk the first link is the ppcgeeks one. Post #8 has instructions for how to install. Also, I believe the headphones need to be 3.5mm. The headphones with the microphone jack I believe will have the third ring. I just ordered some earbuds from Amazon that I think will work. I'll let you know in a day or two and try to link that as well.
Here they are:
ok try it with terminal app
1) Place the .apk on the root of your SD card
2) Type "su"
3) cd into the destination of your .apk
4) Use "install "name of .apk" /"destination"/"name of .apk"

Yeah, and that forum doesn't have the apk.
So the Rezound has the BCM4330 chip...
After a quick bit of research, it seems that ALL variants of that chip that I have found do contain an FM transceiver, which is really interesting actually. This means that technically, the Rezound should also be able to transmit audio sources over FM Radio to your car stereo as well as receive FM Radio.
Other specs I've found show that the Rezound should also support 5Ghz 802.11 A/N wifi too, but I haven't been able to get any 5Ghz networks to be visible to my phone...
My guess is these functions must be implemented at the kernel level before they will function correctly.
So, now I challenge any developer to get this working.

Seconded!
Actually, its really a shame how gimped this phone comes, now that I'm aware of more of its capabilities. For the first "Beats Audio" phone to the USA, where you would assume its audio features would have been the most important area of focus, most of the stock capabilities of the hardware aren't even implemented.
-So we have an FM Transceiver that can currently neither transmit, nor receive. The transmitter especially is an awesome features for people who spend a lot of time in a car listening to their own music.
-We have a relatively hifi audio DAC, the WM8903, with an awesome built-in headphone amp capable of driving big studio cans. Not implemented. The audio on this phone is processed entirely in software, essentially limiting the capabilities of the WM8903 chip to a simple headphone-jack interface and nothing more.
-Beats Audio mode itself was supremely disappointing in its extremely limited implementation.
-5Ghz Wifi capable but it appears to not be implemented either.
All of this stuff could probably be fixed. I know Anthrax kernel supports processing audio in the DAC, I know Voodoo Sound is compatible with this chip and supports the DAC and headphone amp but its currently not available on the Rezound...
The wifi and FM radio are both handled by the same chip, so likely we just need a proper driver or kernel support to add in the missing features supported by the chip.
**edited for false information**
gsmarena.com posted that the Rezound utilizes the Wolfson 8903 DAC. This appears to be false. The Rezound actually appears to utilize the TI AIC3254
Hey.
Today I was just playing around with my friends Nokia N8. The phone overall is crap but I found one really good feauture. It has FM transmiter. I turned on FM radio on 102.0 on my E3D but he was playing his music from phone. He choosed 102.0 and his music started playing on my mobile under Radio Nokia.
As I understood Evo 4G had this FM Tranismitter. Maybe we have it to and it's possible to get this thing working?
This would be cool, but I would think that if it was there, one of the awesome devs would have implemented it already. But, I hope I'm wrong.

I saw a thread on Evo 4g to swipe Fm to transmitting. Right now im on vacation but could try it. It's better to try and fail than do nothing.
I don't know if this is related , but on my old wildfire that had cyanogen on it, when you started the fm app, it would start the bluetooth. If you tried to close the bluetooth connection,the fm would stop.
I don't remembere quite well,so if i am wrong i'm sorry, but i remember something about the bluetooth frequenties that are near the fm ones?
If is not this i would really like to know why cyanogen needed the bt open so you could losten to radio.

Not even close. If every single bluetooth device worked on FM frequencies, it would interfere with every fm radio.

I don't know if this is related , but on my old wildfire that had cyanogen on it, when you started the fm app, it would start the bluetooth. If you tried to close the bluetooth connection,the fm would stop.
I don't remembere quite well,so if i am wrong i'm sorry, but i remember something about the bluetooth frequenties that are near the fm ones?
If is not this i would really like to know why cyanogen needed the bt open so you could losten to radio.

This was because the bluetooth radio and FM radio were built in together. Shutting one down turned off the other and vice versa. This was common on most phones I've had with bluetooth and FM. I don't know if that is still the case on newer phones though.
You seem to know alot about the FM specs... Last I heard it was a broadcom bluetooth/FM chipset combo... but I'm still searching to find out what model/series it is (w/o taking my evo apart Any extra info, or at least the method to find out, would be peachy! THX
