[HELP] Froyo rom + working Radio FM

Hi there
It's been a lot since root release but i still have to root my device, since i saw around a new tool (unrevoked3) that makes it simple and fast i wanted to give it a shot and see if the devs around there made some good roms.
What i've been looking around is a stable Froyo rom, better if w/o sense, and with working Radio FM but i can't seem to find it. Everyone talk about 720p camera, incall echo, LED mods, theme mods, etc. but i can't find a rom where it states "Radio FM: Working" and even looking around in the thread i can't find a clue if it works or no.
So, anyone knows one that i can try? Thanks.

I'm using the LeeDroid ROM (v1.3) and the FM radio works fine. I also used Unrevoked3 to root my phone, and it's nice and easy.

I think that the FM radio only works on Sense-based Froyo ROMs.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks for the tip, gonna try LeeDroid rom then i'm curious to see how froyo performs.

You can always install a home replacement so you have FM radio but a stock launcher and homescreen.

That's what i'm doing atm on my 1.21 stock rom but the lack of space in memory is killing the fun of using this device, i've installed just a handful of apps and the memory is always around 15ish mb left, i'm spending more time deleting apps than using them

ephumuris,
Can you please elaborate a bit on what is meant here? I'm using a custom ROM w/o Sense, and find it perfect other than it's got no FM radio - something I'm missing from Sense.

[Q] What radio to go with when flashing to RCMix HD v6.0.0.1?

I'm about to use RCMix HD and hopefully stick with it, I have no idea which radio to get though and I can't post in the thread itself yet, hopefully someone can give me an idea of what radio to get, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thankyou.

Hello,
I was under the impression that the RCmix 6.0.0.1 would come with the latest radio and matched RIL from the latest release that it is based off. I am new to ROMing so dont take my word for it though.
Please post back your results.

I've been using;
Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2_test
RIL_12.35d.60.140f_26.08.03.07_M
its been the best that ive used so far (used it with RCMix HD v6 and with Android Revolution HD 5.1).

I think the RIL is included, i didnt think the radio was....then again i'm new to this whole thing as well!

I don't even know what an RIL is, haha, do I need one?

RIL stands for Radio Interface Layer. As i understand it the software that allows the rom to talk to the radio. I have also read that people have had successful results without updating the RIL. I havnt updated mine and it works fine.

The RIL is apparently only needed for sense ROMS (RCMix, CoreDroid, ARHD etc.). Non-sense roms (such as CM7) dont require a RIL.
As far as I know, a radio will still work without the matching RIL, but it just works better with the correct RIL

New radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

Any experiences of this new radio yet?
Also is there a new RIL implemented or is it still the old HTC-RIL 2.2.0028HM?

I guess since it still is the 32.56 release the RIL you mentioned should work fine.

Radio works great for the last few days.
Today I flashed radio-RIL_2.2.1003G and so far so good.

My data plan does not work with ril 2.2.1003 went back to 2.2.0028 and data works fine

I can just say that for now battery life is excellent ...39h - on 61% with "normal" use. GPS, WIFI, Bluetooth and data works ok.
P.S. I'm on MIUI 1.5.6 rom

No poblem here ... I'm on RcMix S 1.4 .
There is no newer RIL coming from Desire , there are several from Desire HD and S , didn't tried them .

All looking good here, Telus Desire, Reflex S 1.9.9.9 Lite

flashed it today,and no probs RcMix S 1.4

Working great. RCMix S 1.4.
Sent from RCMixS

Have just falshed it with RIL 2.2.0028HM. Will see how it goes today.

Is this safe to flash on leedroid 3.0.6? Or is that what this topic is here to find out?

Nice thx i try

Doesn t work with latest Ril

Is more difficult to take Hspa!!!
it's just me??

So if I just installed the latest CM7 (7.0.3), will installing a later radio improve anything? I dunno what version comes with CM7 but the call quality is pretty crap, although I think thats just the area I live in.
My current radio version is 5.11.05.27.
EDIT: Heres the full info from baseband:
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27

Flashed RIL_2.2.1003G with 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23.
I'm on 80% battery after 15 hours light use.
Got the fastest Speedtest result I've ever had. Seems to be functioning well.

instaled on lee 3.06 rc2 without any problem...
reception and GPS seem to be ok

Hi, is it necessary to flash the RIL too?

A silly question, if i were to flash the radio only, i don't have to do a full-wipe right?

[Q] Any such thing as *fully* working ICS/JB + Sense4 ROM?

Hi Everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller.
Over the last couple of months, I have tried virtually every ROM I can get my hands on for my DHD, and I always do a full wipe (format) of /system, /data, /cache, Dalvik, and .android_secure before install.
The only ICS ROM I can get working fully is Blackout, but it is Sense 3.6.
I have tried Viper, and *really* like it, but Bluetooth is broken (in 1.2.0, .1, .2, and .3)
That seems to be the case for me with Sense 4 ROMs (lite or full); if Bluetooth works, then WiFi is broken. If WiFi works, then Bluetooth is broken.
ROMs I've tried (latest):
Viper
Miui
Jellytime
ARHD
Blackout (S3.6, which is where I'm at b/c it works)
IceCold
IceSense
CosmicSandwich
Sabsa
codefireX
Kernels I've tried (various releases up to latest):
Beastmode
KangBang
Virtuous
So, I'd like to know if there is such a thing as a fully-working ICS/JB ROM with Sense 4? I cant seem to find one. W/o Bluetooth and WiFi, nothing can be considered a "daily driver", imo... especially w/o Bluetooth, if you know what I mean.
Thanks!

I'm baffled; all of those ROMs should have both BT and wifi fully working. What's your recovery and version?
EDIT: and what's your radio?

Same here, bluetooth is one of the few things that ALWAYS work (except for 4.2.1, but that's expected).
Are you wipping between flashes ?

Thanks for the replies, guys.
As I outlined above, yes, I am fully wiping b/t ROM installs - even restores - please see my method in first post.
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery (HBoot for booting) and have paid for ROM Manager, which entitles me to further updates to CWM than what is available on Play. I currently have 5.8.1.5 installed (CWM Touch).
The radio varies from ROM to ROM it seems, and I should have documented which version in each ROM, but right now, in Blackout, it is reporting 12.56.60.25P_26.10.04.03_M. <--- That number stays consistent, afaik, but the first letter will change (U and T, iirc).
When I say that Bluetooth doesnt work, specifically what happens is that it either doesnt pair with any device, or if it does pair, no sound will be transmitted or the pairing will only last for a second, maybe two seconds at most.

The radio shouldn't be changing with each ROM unless you change it. But with that said, nothing seems out of the ordinary. You could try reflashing your radio manually? Other than that I'm out of ideas.

I dont know much about that, but with that said, I just re-flashed Viper 1.2.3 and my radio now reads:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M, which is different than it was above with Blackout.
I have not tried re-flashing my radio manually. I wouldnt know which one would give me a better chance of success...

Once I flash a new ROM, the kernel and the radio are the same I had or the new ROM comes with its own kernel and radio?
Thanks in advance

roms do not come with radios tho they do have their own kernels. Radios are region based not rom based so there is no rom specific radio just what works best in your area.

Thanks for the explanation. So, if I bought my mobile in Spain, the radio is different if I had bought, for example in France?

depends on how close they are to each other whether same service is used in Spain as in France or if they are totally two different service. I would Google the carrier you use then see what radio they shipped with. Even in the radio thread you may find an answer to which radio is good for you in the area your at.

[Q] Downgrade from hboot 1.39 or compatible sense rom

Hi folks.
I upgraded to hboot 1.39 a while ago to be able to install viper x jelly bean.
What I didn't realize at the time was that the gps would stop working.
I've done some research and what I found is that it can't be downgraded unless you have s-off, which I don't.
So question is: is it really impossible, or is there some miracle cure that I've not come across?
Either downgrade directly, or getting s-off?
Or if no such thing exist, is there a ROM with sense, that supports hboot 1.39 and gps?
Best regards, Norway.

Yup, all of them!
The GPS issue only applies if you flash an AOSP-based 4.1.x ROM. On 4.2.x and Sense ROMs GPS does work.
Did you remember to flash the boot.img?
Sent from my IceCold One X

I can't seem to fin any 4.2.2 roms with sense, but if I understand you correctly, Viper X 3.5.0 should give me gps?

I meant it works on every 4.2.2 ROM you can find, in addition with every Sense ROM including Viperx 3.5.0.
Sent from my IceCold One X

Got you. Thing is, I get no gps signal on Viper 3.5.0. Tried gps status , and it's not picking up any satelites...
Did flash the included boot.img yeah.
any ideas?

Did you find a solution? Have the same issue. Also in Norway
