Ive haven't enjoyed fm radio this much in a long time. I really like the feature to use headphone jack as just an antenna but now I just have the audio going line in on my pc.

Hey, I personally would like to thank you and anyone involved for bringing the FM radio back to its rightful place on my wife's Z3v...I'm excited about it, and unfortunately she's not! Lol. She's like "who cares anyone can get an FM app from Play Store" and I said "no".... I explained to her what's going on and what it does...she still doesn't care....oh well, I tried. I still like it...wish my Nexus 6 had an FM transmitter

I agree, you might want to inform her though that there is only one FM tuner app on play store that gives you the radio, but requires root and costs $7. Whereas this is something Sony designed and we simply should have had it in the first place for no extra cost. And this is it. lol
I have been having trouble with this on lollipop. I don't get any sound it tunes into the station but no sound. I tried disabling OK Google detection but still no sound. It worked on KitKat for me but not lollipop

I've had the same issue. I finally got my rooted lollipop working, but for some reason, this app does not want to put out sound. It finds all the stations but no music is actually outputted through the speakers or headphones.
Yah that's what's happening to me it finds the stations no sound.

Download the radio3.apk from post 11 on this thread its machbe's post
I installed the apk and everytime i close the app my phone gives me a pop up saying unable to find Bluetooth connectivity or something like that, otherwise the app itself works fine
Thanks so much to those who made this FM radio apk possible for my Z3v, almost 1 year into ownership and its so nice to find a new feature. My brother will be so stoked to be able to have radio on his phone!! ???
Love the app on my Z3v. Thanks!
Works great on ?. 509 build ??
Would anyone mind re-uploading the updated lollipop Fm radio app? Mine would not work after lollipop update, the old APK will not install and the lollipop link above has gone stale.

Hmm. Well, I am running the over clocked SGT7 Cherry picks ROM in which I used ROM debloat free to remove all the live wallpaper and picker, the bluetooth files, and the phone stuff. I accidently removed the phone storage apk and now I can't connect via USB in android but I can transfer files via CWM....but not a single sod for past two days.

This is not even working fully yet. I lost track of this due to working on GPE ROM. When I have more time I can check why it is not fully working.
From what I have seen the only way to ad other devices would be for LG to allow it. LG encrypts their IR blaster so only devices listed in the quickset device profile work if LGs IR blaster unless someone can crack the encryption. You can search play store for quickset and install the version from play store to see if it has more devices but IR not working yet on AOSP based ROMs yet.

Oh okay, I take it the reason it was working before is because then I was on LG's ROM not an AOSP rom? If this is case, would the backup I made of the LG ROM be of any use? I could pull out the quick remote app or something.

I no longer have v500, returned it and waiting for my v510 to get here. Hopefully we can figure something out that works on both models.
If you check in the G2 themes and apps forum there is a way to get QRemote working with AOSP ROMs and maybe the same method and/or files will work on G Pad.

My friend got it working on his g2 by just download an apk, but trying to put that apk on a v500 (running cm11) unfortunately does not work.
I reckon you'd need a lot of LG framework in order to make this work on AOSP. I wont stop you tho, would be neat. ^^

I've tried flashing as a system app and installing as user, clearing cache/data and with any KK/Sense rom thus far the app always immediately force closes.

Actually the old v1 of DSP works fine on 4.2.2/Sense 5.0 and earlier when the proper audioeffects text file is flashed to etc. It not working for people through the years has mostly to do with this and DSP's inability to take exclusive priority over the global audio output of any given device. CM are the one's actually maintaining the app, of which there is a 3rd version which doesn't force close in KK/Sense but also won't do anything to the audio effects either. I had this same problem with Viper4Android. It constantly prompts me to install a binary but the settings never change the sound. I don't think it's the audioeffects config file or the libs but some other file such as audiopolicy. If anyone knows what changes are present in KK that differ from JB in terms of how Android and Sense handle audio effects that information would be greatly appreciated.

Hmmm...now we're getting somewhere. I have done some audio effect editing myself which is how I got DSP to work from Sense 3.5-5.0 roms. So you are saying "stereowide" causes FC's in KK because the original version of DSP won't even open in KK. I don't recall ever seeing that effect....can you post an example for me to test? Just the audio effect file.

I tried using Spirit FM but unfortunately that failed to activate the built in FM radio and didn't work.
Is there an FM radio app that we can use on the GPe ?

It does work! I had tried it before it was rooted not realizing it was required. The version I had purchased has been renamed "old spirit FM lite" and is no longer supported. Spirit1 seems to work but I didn't get Spirit2 to start. Anyways thanks for spurring me to test Spirit further.
Edit....uninstalled spirit lite and Spirit2 works, also has Bluetooth support.

I have the Xperia model, but i'm currently running the GPe ROM and i love it for its lightness, but with lightness comes minimalism, and i'm a true minimalist in real life and hate having stuff i don't use, BUT having to install a third party videoplayer if i'd like to stream something is incredible annoying. Stuff the stock Sony ROM does out-of-the-box is not possible on a clean AOSP build.
I still love it though, but once in awhile i just have to go back to the Sony ROM and get cozy. Everything there just works.

Sorry for off topic but this seems as good as anywhere to ask.
1. Does uninstalling Sony apps cause issues?
2. Do Sony apps work with 3rd party launchers?

How dare you go off topic! Just kidding.
- No, it depends on what you're deleting. You will end up soft bricking it if you delete SystemUI or any other important app/service/libs but you're safe if you only want to remove "bloat". I made a list of apps that are safe to remove ages ago, and it's somewhere in the Themes & Apps section, so check that out. Be sure to either have a NAND backup ready in case something goes wrong, or know how to recover from a soft brick (bootloop etc)
- Yes, but some or all Sony widgets won't work.

Doomlord has successfully booted a Sony ROM (681) on his GPe now, so you'll soon have the chance to test the Sony ROM if you feel like it.

We were close yesterday I think with monx's ROM, just a wrong kernel would have been all that was stopping the boot I think
Is there a way the stock Sony FM Radio app which I posted before can be modified to be installed without root (as a non-system app)?
I don't want to root my device for the moment but I want to be able to use the built in FM Radio.
BTW I was bummed with updated my GPe to 4.4.3 and found that Google still didn't include an FM radio app!

Google has never had a radio app, and that will probably never happen.

So I've finally rooted my GPe, now I want to get FM radio working.
Can you please tell me the configuration you used to get Spirit FM working, keeps force closing for me!
I tried installing the Apk from the original Xperia ZU for the FM radio but that never showed up in my app list!

First thing is I had it working on 4.4.2 and never tried it after updating. Now I am using a Sony Z Ultra and not the GPe anymore, sorry I can't recall what it took to get it working.

If rooted, try the latest test release of Spirit2 here: http://d-h.st/vky
Or Spirit1: http://d-h.st/de8
Usually, it should "just work". If not, in Spirit1, send me a debug log. Tap the frequency button, enter the number 7 and tap "OK". After 20 seconds or so, press Send from your email client.
Google hates FM, so you don't find it on Nexus or GPE devices. Maybe Google One for "developing world" though, LOL.
ALL stock FM apps rely on "framework" code, usually proprietary and secret. Not a single GPE device has ever been able to run a stock FM app, only Spirit, which is low level and has mostly just kernel requirements. I'm just happy that Google's OEMs have accidentally(?) left the Qualcomm FM driver in the stock kernels.
I'm thinking about officially supporting Sony devices in Spirit2, and so I'm reading these forums to learn about different Z models. Used Z Ultras are now as low as $280 here, and new GPE as low as $350 so far,.But buying a phone is just a fraction of the long term cost learning how to root, unlock, flash ROMs without bricking, etc...
