There is an app that support FM radio with RDS in our phones. I've tested it and it works fine in Mik's CM7:
I'm not the developer and have nothing to do with this project.

Unique features:
- It works without headphones connected (better signal with them).
- RDS support.
I used it on LOL 1.42 and unfortunatelly not working

Thanks, I've added the info to the title.
I'm trying to get a video with sound of screencast of the radio for my GT540 area post.
Nice to see that someone knows about my topic so quickly (the info + screens one)
I can't use it on my country (Indonesia)

Downloaded this app this morning, it seems to be fairly stable and foolproof on CM7 mik's 6.42, I don't have any RDS stations in my area so I can't test whether it works but I can see this becoming a default app choice with some work on aesthetics, I must say however, that I still need headphones to get reception for any channels but that is probably more down to the radio station not the app.
I tested it yesterday and its working well. Excellent/loud sound quality plus it does shows RDS stations. I think its better thn the default FM radio application (MIUI) in Mik's rom.
Thanks OP for sharing it.

AFAIK, it should work on Android v2.1+.
At this time it's more a matter of a ROM supporting a working hcitool, and/or with TI chips a working btipsd_cli. I'm working on a solution that speaks directly to the HCI UART to deal with proprietary BT stacks. There are also phones with audio routing issues but I'm working on that too.
Googled my app name and found this thread. I was using a Desire HD for Broadcom FM chip testing but now I have a P500h.
I tried to re-flash the stock Telus ROM yesterday to see if my HCI UART solution would work on P500 stock ROM, but couldn't get that LG flasher working right. Last time I dealt with that program I bricked an Optimus Chic several months ago.
Tried to get void ROM running and was stuck in an LG logo loop. Now back to mik_os CM and hesitant to try any other ROM as I want to get back to app dev and not frustrating ROM flash attempts.
I'm starting to think LG made a few too many engineering shortcuts to make the P500 relatively inexpensive. Battery was too tight when I had to remove to get out of emergency mode or stop boot loop. Screwdriver bit into the battery and created a few sparks but phone kept on running, LOL.
I may not check this thread too often, so I'd encourage discussion on the thread in my sig.
Welcome Mike.

Hello Everyone,
I have search the Atrix forum and have not found anything about the FM radio function.
Has anyone been able to enable it? I know it is not a high priority action.
Thanks for any info on this.

It's not currently enabled. with the Nexus One, Cyanogen had an updated ROM to enable the Tuner. I think one of the droids had an update to turn the tuner on. This is quite probable. Companies like Motorolla can sometimes spread revenue over multiple quarters by doing things like enabling new functionality down the road
I tried a Droid x hack for the FM radio.
It behaves as if it will tune..detects the headphones etc..even the volume control works and shows it is FM volume.
I am no where close to some of the experts on this site..but it looks like an easy hack..I hope someone else can take a quick look at this..
I know it not high priority..any insight or direction would be nice

From what I remember from the Nexus One FM radio, a kernel change had to be made. Not sure if that applies here or not. I would note that the Bell Atrix seemed to have a TV/Radio app (on a screenshot I saw). Now, whether this is an actual FM radio and not via streamed data, who knows. Just something to look into.

FM Radio in Orange UK Spec
Orange UK has the Atrix listed as having "FM radio RDS",
http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/motorola-atrix;jsessionid=DZDVNQNfZ572n66rRcnTgJLKnz1Ncr12nRhyv52Z92qwyr9g9rHL!-1117014923
Its also listed in the paper catalogue as having this feature. Mine (purchased 13th May) doesn't have this enabled, from what I can see, but hopefully this means an update is due soon with this feature turned on.
My friend has a Defy, and it has CMP (Connected Music Player) its basically tunewiki but its the phones standard music player, in the main menus it has the option for FM Radio. Im guessing they are cooking up a version to work for the Atrix. I mean they should if the Defy has it why wont their Flagship device ATM. The Atrix is Motorola's Flagship device ATM right?
There was a hacked version of CMP out there, but the FM tuner did not work. I believe either AT&T disabled the feature so you have to pay for their radio app, or CMP was not quite finished for the Atrix. Maybe it will be included in a future update?
In any event I am also willing to DONATE to any dev who can get it working.
Bell one is an webased apl for the radio and tv, does not use hardware fm
listening to FM radio is like masturbating to pics of old ladys.

I've seen a few devs around the forums saying that there is no FM radio that is accessible on the Atrix. I've tried a few different apps myself, but no luck.
even i have tried the apps but it doesn't work.. since its unlocked now.. this should be taken care form the kernel level i think.. if any dev wants to enable it he CAN.
I already start a thream about fm radio. The kernel must be modified. Our atrix kernel do no have libraries and drivers for hardware. Our hardware have captabilitie for this
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I asked faux123 about enabling the fm radio in his kernel. He's willing to do it, but apparently even though the chip is capable the fm radio output may not be hardwired on the circuit board. He's asking for an atrix technical manual showing the circuit connections before he even begins to work on it. If anyone knows where this type of info is please send it to faux123.

There's an app in the market called TuneIn Radio....I know it's not FM, it's over data, but it pulls all of the stations around me and then some. Might be a good alternate for you guys to try out.

it's small enough, i downloaded it over the phone itself. it installs fine and detects the headphones but shows a dialog "is being launched, please wait" and never stops. i tried pressing back and the dialog stopped, but no sound.

even if our phone has the chip necessary, there is no antenna for it, so it wouldn't work (well at least) anyway .

there was a discussion going on about FM radio in atrix.. it concluded that though the chip supports FM transmission and receiving there is no hardware connection made by motorola to be connected anywhere because of which it can't work..
even if its found that the connection is there.. it needs support from kernel .. so a dev can look at this..
a dev posted that he will only look at supporting FM functionality in kernel when he is sure about the hardware connection available in the chip.. so he was asking about the chip level layout.. i think nobody has that layout info yet..

unless they designed the headphone port with that in mind, it will not work that way. you have to have a physical connection between the transceiver and the port which i am pretty sure they did not do (otherwise we'd have the functionality out of the box)

Nexus one fm radio works using the headphones as an antenna even though FM radio support has never been official. So perhaps even though the function isn't available out of the box it could still be connected. I also believe that the Motorola cliq received an unofficial FM radio, but I could be wrong about it.

No, he was saying that the N1 FM app works by using the headphones as an antenna, so it may work in a similar way on the Atrix.

Stock FM from 2.2 doesn't show the Icon but bluetooth is enabled if you check the radio status from terminal emulator and such. Spirit FM I think doesn't do that. You'll need to find Spirit FM Free, the author placed it in some filesharing site and removed it from market.

YOU CAN NOT enable FM without bluetooth, spirit FM uses the same instructions to enable Radio as Stock or CM roms. The reason you can not see the Bluetooth icon on stock Roms is that its hidden, but you can easily check that its on, by say getting any bluetooth manager app, and going into it, realising bluetooth is already on
what is the latest version of spirit fm radio????
Check this
I think the below link is the one. Please check

Turn on Bluetooth manually before starting Spirit.
CM9 has a strange way of dealing with Bluetooth on many devices. Bluetooth is always running, and turning the BT switch on or off only makes it look to Android like it's in the selected state.
