Installed the following app from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11332081&postcount=1 but it just hangs with the message of "FM Radio being launched, please wait..."
Looking for an app that uses the Vibrant's built-in FM tuner. If it matters, I'm running Trigger 2.7 ROM.
Thanks for the link.
AFAIK, Vibrant has no built-in FM tuner. I will be ecstatic if someone proves I am wrong!
Try tunein radio found on the market for free. I'm streaming now, works great for me but u need a decent data signal so it doesn't cut out.

Unfortunately, that app uses your data connection. Was hoping for something that uses the built-in FM tuner. If it exists at all.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think that we have this built in.

There is no built in FM tuner.

^this.
What people are getting confused with, is iirc the vibrant has bit and pieces of fm tuner hardware still left in, but it doesn't have everything needed to get a working fm tuner.
Is there an app or process to have a FM radio app for Dell venue?
As there was one back for Motorola Charm which didnt ship with Built in Radio App (FM) in Asia sets
I don't think the Venue has a built-in FM radio. I have tried several apps, including one or two that are supposed to work with the Streak 5, and have never had any success.

thanks for the responce
but if I upgrate my stock rom with 2.3 rom posted here
will it help?
I don't think so, I don't think the Venue has the hardware for an FM radio.
The Venue uses a Broadcom BCM4329, which has:
Wifi 802.11 a/b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
FM Radio (recieve and transmit)
Unfortunately, since android doesnt have a standardized method of interfacing with the radip: there's simply no support at the driver level.
The Streak 5 has limited radio support as there was a hack that enabled it, but the S5 uses the BCM4325.
All other dell devices use the BCM4329 and only the SPro has support for it.
It might be possible to hack the Streak Pro's support back onto the V (as they both run GB and use the same chip),
I intend to attempt to hackport the SPro's rom to the S5, and perhaps to the V in the summer.
But I have no idea if it'll work, much less getting the radio to work.
Officially, the SPro is the first dell device to officially recieve fm radio support.

I finally took the time to look at this, and the link provided provides a working FM Radio app. Go figure. It works, for the most part. The link is to the English translation of a Vietnamese page. There is a link to FM Radio for Dell Venue, which is a rar file on mediafire (http://www.mediafire.com/?ob6ot26eey5m7dh). The Google Translate thing screws up the link, so just use the one I posted. Inside the rar is two apk's and a file called fm_hcitool. I installed the one called 20110824SFR-MM.apk (not the one called Streak Radio) and it turned out to be Spirit FM - the free version. I set the the audio method to fm_hcitool the band to European (I live in Germany) and the radio worked. I could only get it to come out of the phone not the headphones, but it was better than nothing. It requires BT being active, but it will turn that on itself. I am running CM7 (when I tried earlier, I was still stock Froyo, before the GB Rom's were available.)
Update - download the updated Spirit FM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296. I still can't get it to go through the headphones, but other than that it works.

I tried the above on Stock Android
Nothing worked
All I want to know is how "fm_hcitool" works or how to set it?
I think you need a rooted venue for the above

Nothing worked when I tried on my stock rooted venue either. It works now under CM7 though. I really have no idea what the fm_hcitool file does. I saw the file in the rar file, and took a guess when I configured Spirit FM. I only copied the Spirit FM apk over to the venue too, not the fm_hcitool file. Maybe it will work fully with that on the phone, I see the Streak guys got their radio working by putting it in the /system/bin folder and setting the correct permissions. Maybe I will try that later and see if it changes anything.

It's the same as what I posted earlier. It works on CM7, except I can not get the sound to come out of the headphones, only the speaker.

I've done it before. It's great.
And the wonderful thing is you can listen to music when the radio is on and a call is in progress
The phone call uses the small phone speaker.
The muzick player uses the loud speaker.
And the radio ( spirit FM ) uses the earphone.
And.... They work at the same time together
By using Spirit FM, you can control the output sound.
You can choose where the sound will be play ( headphone or loudspeaker )

Since it was on the S9, I was mostly expecting it on the S10. I cut off an old set of earbuds and use that for an antenna. I've found that 8 or 10 inches will pick up all the local stations and I can then play over the external speaker.
I had no idea, great to know!
I just tried to install official Samsung Radio apk but it crashes.
Do you know any other working FM apk ? Alternative to NextRadio
