[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] Fm radio

When I bought my desire and had the stock Rom there was an fm radio app. But now when I've flashed it with a new room I can't use this function. Anyone got an idea on how to get the app installed ?

Which rom are you using?

FM radio is working only (and contained) in sense ui, no porting till now for AOSP.

If you are using "non sense ROM", you can not use FM Radio...
I found a few apps, and these apps don´t work.

Pinky Classic Desire rom now has FM radio working without Sense.

Using LeeDroid v1.8
Isn't that sense?

That is a stripped down sense rom mate. Still a sense rom really.

Pinky Classic Desire is derived from the original HTC Sense not cooked from AOSP like cm and so on.

What programs did you find? Since i have a sense room i could test it.

[Q] Desire FM Radio - every station = Static.

Hi There,
I have been using DeFrost and OpenDesire for the last few months, and have therefore not been able to use the FM radio.
It worked when i tried it initially with the stock Sense rom, but nowdays (MIUI, SenseHD and Sense) all i get is static, no matter where i am (outside in good weather etc). My friend with a Nexus One can pick up the stations at the exact same location.
I have tried all the radios back untill 5.09.00.08 (currently using 5.11.05.14), but no difference.
Any ideas?
Josh.

Go back to Stock using a Shipped RUU. If it's still fubar then send it off for a warranty repair.
Make sure your HBOOT is restored if you've flashed the S-Off HBOOT but i think the stock RUU should write the stock HBOOT back on the device for you.

It's not FUBAR, just the FM radio seems to give static. I have no other issues with it whatsoever.
What does an RUU contain that 'might' fix this issue?
Josh.

Moved to Q&A. Please don't post question threads in Development.

Going back to a Stock ROM will ensure that your software is 100% compatible with the hardware. It's naturally the first thing you should do if you start having problems with your device. If you're using a cooked ROM, there's an increased chance that the problem you are experiencing is related to software rather than hardware. In your case, more so since the Desire 2.2 kernel was only recently open sourced, so the FM radio drivers have only recently been included in 2.2 cooked roms.

Hey Josh,
I'm running LeeDrOiD 2.4.1 and have the identical issue with my FM radio. Did you solve it? If so, how?
Thanks,
Keith

Recommend a ROM

Hi,
Preferably, I'm looking for a HTC Desire HD ROM or something that has the new HTC Sense on it with APP2SD functionality, It must be Clean Stock (meaning no customization) and must be Stable to use with no or little lag. The Android version should be 2.2 or above and OTA update be operational (not required).
I have stumbled upon some ROMS, that match my specifications, however I want to know your experience with it. Common Bugs, how is it for everyday use? blah blah etc...
- RCMixHD v0.15 1
- DHD Rom Port by baadnwz v1.7c
- ۵.AuraxTSense v8.2 HTC Sense 2.2
- ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.5.1 DHD port
- RCS Touch v06
I want to be able to flash a new rom without any fuss, but I do not believe this likely to happen.
Here are my device specs:
Code:
BRAVO PV1 SHIP-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-01d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.11.05.27
-Android 2.2
-T-MOBILE UK - Branded
-Not-Rooted
-4GB Micro SD Card (GoldCard)
Before any tells me to do my research and check the entire forums and says it all depends on your desire, well the whole point of the thread is to give me guidance on what to do next and then summarize your points and experience.
If any more information is require, please tell me so.
Thank you.

Little Bump. No one?

Root
Flash Baadnewz 1.7c
EOD

root read , read again , check the threads of the roms u want to try , download rom , instal and if you like keep it if not repeat from (Check)
regards

baadnewz has to be the quickest most lag free hd rom

Forget hd if you want zero lag just stick to standard Sense or aosp gingerbread.
I've tried Alex V HD which is very good but not zero lag and heard lots of good news about baadnewz.

its got a memory leak and is sluggish after time

First of all - root it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788044).
Second - S-Off (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805811).
Need help? Search xda and google, google, google!
Then - READ ALOT about the different roms, apps/data2sd, recovery images etc etc and choose the one you like most. Search for youtube videos of the roms you like.
Pay attention - some roms work only with specific radio versions. Most roms require (or at least suggest) performing a full phone wipe (including davlik cache), so don't forget to backup EVERYTHING before you start (including contacts, sms, mms). AND NEVER EVER REBOOT / DISCONNECT CABLE WHEN FLASHING!

I was leaning towards this rom, good job you told me this.
Also, please guys, although I appreciate your guidance I am not new to flashing etc and do not want instructions on 'how to root, flash, S-OFF and S-ON'. If you read my question, all I want is your opinions/views on what ROM is good enough to meet my specifications as well as your experiences. I do not want to keep flashing my phone, that's another reason why this thread was created. And Please no 'SEARCH GOOGLE, XDA FORUMS', and choose what you like. I will research the ROM that I have narrowed down, helped suggested by you guys and then Check if it's good to go. I know some of you will find me arrogant, which is not the case.
Keep your suggestions coming in...
Thank you.

youve picked the roms you want to try , why dont you try them and find out for yourself.
and no i dont find you arrogant more lazy

I'd recommend Baadnwz. I found it to be one of the quickest!

Most of you guys are suggesting 'badnewz', tell me your experiences with it.
...Or shall I just flash a unbranded Stock ROM and Root and Partition the SD?
Thanks
EDIT: What do you guys think of this ROM 'Ginger Villain 0.8?

I was using gingervillian 0.8 for awhile and found it to be very good, however as only the nexus s is running gingerbread officially, I found there are some apps that I need that won't work.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Now I'm thinking of flashing to the standard HTC Stock ROM and ROOT+APP2SD...

I'd recommend teppic's stock ROM + updates. Why ? Because the author updates it regularely and has offered lots of optional addons, meaning the ROM is not a "try to please all so im stuffed with all imaginable crap" one.

[Q] Remove a ROM

I have a second hand HTC Desire. It looks like it's been romed. I've no problem with that, other than the fact there is no FM radio!
Can someone either tell me how I'd be able to get it back without having to download a radio app (which uses too much data for my contract). Or to just remove the rom.
Cheers

I'd suggest flashing one of the stable Gingerbread ROMs with FM Radio support (not all of them have FM Radio).
Try the Euroskank 7.2 ROM, or MildWild MW series ROM - both are fast, non-sense ROMs with FM support.
There are plenty of Sense options around too if you want one.
