Fixing radio problems on your JB rom on i9000 - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hi, my name is Steven
I run C-Rom's JB on my SGS I9000 and loving it.
There's just 1 little problem with all the JB roms i've flashed
There is no way to get a fm radio working (not a radio via stream but via my fm thing in the phone + earphones)
I've been looking every where for a stock jb radio apk or something like that.
I tried the SpiritFM radio, but it didn't work (no sound or anything)
THEN, i found something on a forum.
It said that you have to go to kernel app, in this case semaphore.apk
scroll down and check the box of "Radio FM - load radio FM (si 4709)
After having done that, the spiritfm radio still didn't work.
Ok so far, no progress.
I went trying stuff to get it working and i got it.
Here's what you do
- Open SpiritFM radio
- Push the option button on your phone (you'll get a pop-up menu)
- Go to "Setting"
- Go to Band, and select your country (or continent or w/e)
- Go back to "Setting"
- Go to "Debug
- Go to "FM Chip"
- Select your chip (instead of automatic)
------- If you don't know your chip, just try EVERYTHING (restart app after changing Chip)
------- Mine was "Sam SiLabs (Gal S+)"
And SJABANG!! you have radio.
(At least... I did)
Now.. i do not know if the semaphore setting change has anything to do with the radio working, but it won't kill you to try
I hope this will help people with the same problem.
I have included "semaphore.apk" and "SpiritFM radio unlocked"
I wanted to add a link but i'll just add the file instead (xda wont let me do a link yet)
Please post if you have anything to say.

It really works! It's great!
The only thing I've changed in settings is the "Band" according to area where I use it. Also it needs to have superuser permission granted.
It's the only FM app I've seen yet working on CM10.0 :thumbup:

FM radio in Dell Streak with 2.2

Hi,
Anyone got the FM radio working in Froyo?
I read this and got in working in 2.1, but it seems it does not work after upgrading:

I am interested if someone could making on it !
I'm interested in this too.
With the rom Dj Steve 1.7.0 it has radio FM
I have "TuneIn Radio" which was included in Rogers official 2.2 Upgrade. It is working and I have used it. However, this is an Internet radio app which uses the data plan. Is this what you mean ? Unless you mean a FM tuner app ?
Some versions of streakdroid included an FM radio (the streak can do fm, it just has no default app like hence the thread)
Have you tried the one in streakdroid or are you on stock firmware? (to everyone in thread)
This is the one included with streakdroid 1.8.1, I havnt tried it myself so I'm not 100% sure
STREAK LIGHT worked for me from the beginning of 2.2 Official ROM upgrade...

Works a treat for me. The streak must be rooted and this app must have su access.

What rom are you on? I can't make it work on 345.
FM radio works on any rom.
You have fm_hcitool library, root and APK,
library copy to system/bin.

About 2 of them app(ereader.apk and widget.apk),as i know,the ereader.apk is a primary and most importantm,whether the widget working, it not influence on system .
About ROM,it is desire hd ROM for HD2(no offical version),android2.3.3,mix sense2.1 and sense3.0,nor pure sense2.1.i think them maybe reason.
Dear "htccraze",can you support me a good ROM,which can be running ereader correctly(if contain sense3.0 is best).thanks

Ok,thanks so nuch.i am waiting........
Im not 100% on this but you could try either this ROM or this ROM. i couldn't find much info or any at all if it had it working or it didnt. i would think though if it wasn't working they would of listed it somewhere in the thread. If you still dont have any luck trying to find a ROM then i would check out this webpage. It lists all the ROMs that are posted on XDA in a much easier way to find them. it also gives some nice (but short) info on each ROM. you can also click "show all android builds/ROMs which will give you a lot of ROMs to look through.
as always double check to make sure the ROM you flash is right for your phone.​
neither of the ROMs listed above are sence 2.0 but if you want to try this ROM but im not sure if it has it working or not. again i didnt see if it was or if it wasn't. if you find the apk you could always try to place it inside system/apps to see if it would work.
oops. not sure how to fix it if you already tried but i can say that some ROMs it just wont work on even if you try that so maybe the problem is with your ROM and not how your placing it in system/apps.

Camera not working (NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA)

Hi Guys, I have serched the forums for my specific problem but came up short... trying this for seconds...
I have a HD2 wich I've installed NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)
I have followed every step and everything works fine, EXCEPT the camera.
The camera app never fully loads and just stops responding with the screen going black as the only result.
"camera not responding, do you want to shut down? cancel or yes"
any tips?
I'm new to this forum so Im not sure what other info I should provide, so here goes.
Version 4.0.4
BaseBand 15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14
Kernel 2.6.32-ICS_tytung_HWA_r3.4
Mem 420Mb
(The camea works just fine with WP7, WP7.5, Windows Mobile orig)
Help would be much appreciated
//The Major
Just wanted to add that the phone is a EURO international HTC HD2
So noone can help?
Do I have to reinstall everything and hope for the best? Or have i got a broken device??
easiest wat out of problem is to instal different camera app,try cameraZOOM works fine on my hd2 running on same rom but 2.4
or reinstall rom again.
this should realy be posted in the correct thread,you would probably get more accurate
answers from folk running the same rom.
hope this helps.

Ok, I'll try the app approach... I'll reinstalled the orig ROM oand camera works, I installed a GB ROM and the camera works. I REINSTALLED this ROM and camera works up untill the point of where i actually take a pic - then the camera app shuts down... video seems to work..
I cannot post in the ROM thread - because of forum rules...
Thanks for the tip though - I shall try it.

No doesn't really matter what cameraapp I install, the camera shuts down right after shutter (when the pic is written to storage)
with the message "sorry the camera app had to shut down"
Seem to be the GB approach I'll have to go with...

So I went and tried this ROM:
PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2]
And everything works... how weird - because it seems to be the same kernel?? apart from HWA_r3.2 in this ROM and 3.4 in the ROM that doesn't work... for me it's a headscratcher - I mean I really want the "NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.6 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r3.4)" but maybe with the 3.2 kernel instead...
how to go about and get that one??
For me everything works just fine. Same ROM same device

I kinda realized that it's not neccesarily the ROM but mor with the Kernel.. I'm trying som different ROMs and different kernels, and the result varies...
Kernel: 2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r3.2
ROM: LeoKing 2.3.6
Camera works but batterydrain is a *****... and endomondo stops working...
will try the PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b [TABLET/HYBRID][CM9][A2SD][tytung_HWA_r3.2] but flash a different kernel instead of the tytung one!!
I do realize that the phone will never work as good as with a winmobile original RUU.
Hey try out the new version from tytung. Works like a charm.

[ROM][BETA] cTouch Project - No Phone, Just Captivate.

cTouch
By Sepherian
No Phone, Just Captivate
Info: I have removed most of the phone files from the following ROM(s) to turn them basically into a cTouch (captivateTouch)
Phone Files I have Removed: Phone, Messaging, Modem, and any Icons related to a signal has been degraded to ONE pixel. Looks pretty goood.
Directions to flash:
1: NANDROID BACKUP
2: Download your ROM to your SD Card
3: Reboot into recovery, wipe data + cache
4: Install the rom
5: If Rom bootloops retry step 4
6: Prophet?
How I will be updating:
I will evolve the method I use to edit and Build these ROM(s) over time. So they will be labeled by V2 or V3, and the name of the rom will remain the same.
Also, the ROM(s) will update shortly after the developer updates it. (About a week or so)
CM9 and 10 (if they end up being supported) will be updated when I feel like it.
Rom(s) Built so far: (Please read all three posts before downloading)
Superbean 2.8.17 Built by Nygfan760 Download: Click here
If you donate to me, put your xda name and a rom you would like cTouch-inized in the memo and I will put it at the top of my list to finish (even before updates)​
Fixes:
For ALL:
Apply Airplane mode AT ALL TIMES. If it is on you should see a little CT in your notification bar. If it is off, your antenna will be on and wasting your battery. For no reason because you don't want this phone as a phone.
Bugs:
For SuperBean:
If you go to Mobile Network settings, the application will crash. This will happen if you long-press airplane or data toggles because those settings are under Mobile Data
And again...
First!

Works pretty well, although the phone app still exists. There are force closes from phone storage on boot. I was going to install titanium but there is no play store. Not very useful without it. I will try grabbing the latest jellybean gapps and pull the play store from that.
----------
Edit: pulled latest gapps for jb from cm wiki. Installed PhoneSky.apk and play store works like a charm. Why in the hell is it called PhoneSky? Backed up, froze, and un installed phone/messaging storage and have no more force closes from it. Did the same to Guard since it handles call and sms blocking, and also com.android.smspush. Everything is working well, going to figure out how to get rid of the phone app now.
----------
Edit 2: As I'm sure you've already figured out, the Phone "app" is just an intent sent to the Contacts app, and I don't think removing contacts would be a good idea...I did find this though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5812909/removing-android-phone-app

If this ROM is based off of MIUI.... perhaps just CM10/AOKP with no phone functions? I'm looking to turn my phone into a mini tablet/music player for my brother when i get a new phone.

Another FM Radio Thread

Long story short, I've extracted an FM Radio apk file from other ROM, in order to install it on another ROM, I put it on the internal storage, try to install and it always fails, I just get an error "app not installed"

Download Spirit FM from the Play Store or from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13385163 if your ROM doesn't support FM Radio.
