I am regretting that I updated to Froyo from sprint because now when I open up an App that involves music a few things happen. First if I open slacker and close it when I'm done then later in the day use the mp3 player app (stock/or from market) slacker will start while the mp3 playing and vice versa. Another thing that really grinds my gears, is that when using the mp3 player (stock or after market) The song will speed up really fast and go through 4 songs in like 15 seconds. This is really flustering me because I want to sell my Itouch because I have this phone but know I am not sure if i really wanna do that. Any suggestions or should I just do a little searching and root 2.2 so I can flash a different version a 2.2 that you guys have provided?
Thanks in advance,
jiggajoe
P.s. If someone already reported this issue sorry I tried searching before posting but did not find it.

firstly - check the sticky at the top of this section. There is no way to root 2.2 yet.
Having said that, I don't think what your describing is normal, even for stock froyo. If you're still within your 30 days, you might want to think about trying to exchange it.
Is the screen resolution info stored in the ROM itself or within the kernel?
I was comparing the EC01 (Fascinate) to our EC03 (Continuum) ROM and noticed they are almost identical. This leads me to believe that if we could adjust the screen resolution within the Fascinate ROMs we may be able to use them. Of course this would mean loss of Ticker functionality unless we can somehow incorporate the Ticker API's into the Fascinate ROMs (which might be asking too much right now)
Anyway just some ideas..
-J
It is stored in the rom
Proved with this simple test : with our kernel and our rom = right resolution... With our kernel and fascinate rom = wrong resolution...
Hope that helps!
You know what I was doing? Replacing each framework one by one in the fascinate rom from the Continuum until things would work...
Of course I couldn't do it for long, had to be with gfs family xP but I am on the way home now!

Why dont we just replace the entire framework rezip it and try installing it?
The thing is, that would probably work.... But:
That would kinda kill the point, lol.... All the mods done to the framework folder to get miui, tsm mods, six lock screens, and etc would immediately disappear... I was hoping we could maintain some of the original framework.... But, that might not be possible.....

maybe Imnuts knows what the display driver modules look like so we can swap them out?
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
if yall need any help with roms let me know im knew to the continuum and the whole odin thing but i can figure it out pretty quick.
I came from the sprint hero and before that i had the mt3g.
The screen info is stored in the kernel, as far as where the screen starts/ends and how big it should be total for pixels wide/tall. From what I've seen, there are only two differences in the kernel from the Fascinate, the touchscreen driver (for ticker/softkeys) and the screen driver, to also add controls for the ticker/softkeys. I doubt the ticker will work in an AOSP ROM without a lot of hacking to make it functional, but we should be able to get the screen and softkeys working.
i absulutly despise that ticker lol im always pressing it by accident everything else about the phone i love i honestly couldnt ask anything more from it accept for my unlimited data plan back lol.
Imnuts, when you've been digging around in the kernel and the rom, have you noticed if the ticker is something that can be customized or tweaked? For instance, I'd love to be able to direct Google Navigation's ongoing notification info to the Ticker....I'd love to be able to direct the Google Voice notification to the Ticker
I'm just curious if you've noticed how "hackable" the Ticker is
@TBlazer.. I think this is what we might be looking for...

I'm running Vanilla Rootbox 4.0 ROM, but this has bugged me with other ROMs for quite some time. I guess when 4.1 or 4.2 came out, Android started making audio controls on lockscreen available. That's wonderful for people that want them, but I HATE them. I've searched off and on for months to find out how to turn them off and all I ever find is people saying how glad they are to have them. No one seems to want to disable them completely, as I do. Can anyone please help me? I want the lock screen to look exactly the same no matter what apps are running on my phone.
What music player are you using (I'm assuming stock?) I honestly haven't seen a way on how to remove the stock controls except by using another music player. I use PowerAmp and I never get the lockscreen controls.
Hope it helps

ANYTHING that plays sound does it. The stock music player, Pandora, Slacker Radio. Heck, even Mort Player (audiobooks) shows the controls when it's running.

Hmmm that's odd.
And you've looked thru all the settings in both apps and ROM settings right?
It might be hidden in there somewhere.
I'm on AoCP and I never get the controls

Boy I sure would be happy if it were that simple and I was just blind, but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Closest thing I can see is in the AOKP settings (Rootbox is an AOKP and CM hybrid) for the lockscreen where it lists an option to control music volume with the volume keys from the lockscreen. This setting doesn't affect the widget though.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
I've been reading a bit about AoCP and I may just have to give it a run. I hate wiping my device and spending a whole day setting everything back up, but this issue is really irritating me and it seems like lots of people are very happy with AoCP.

Just use Tinanium Backup to make a flash able zip of all your apps or use the app alone to back up apps and data so that next time you flash it just takes you 3 minutes to set up everything

I've tried that and had it fail horribly on me in the past. The only time I've been able to restore backups made with TB has been when restoring to the same version ROM. A couple times I made a backup, flashed a completely different ROM, went to restore and was unable to. So I just don't even trust it anymore when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Question though since you're obviously knowledgeable about AoCP and I'm too much of a n00b to post in the AoCP thread. The thread says:
AoCP_I747_CP5.6 -dev host link
This is 3.4 kernel base and it is very stable
AoCP_I747_5.6-kernel -dev host link
Just so I'm clear here, do I need to install the top link AND THEN install the kernel link as well? I haven't messed with any ROMs where a separate kernel download was given, so I just want to be sure I don't cause more issues for myself.
Just download the ROM and gapps (which you should have if you've ran any 4.2.2 ROMs )
No extra steps or anything
5.6 should be the release right now.
There is more goodies coming really soon
But the dev.host link should be it

Thanks jayRokk. I got AoCP installed without issue. Not a bad ROM, though I prefer Rootbox better. Too many extras I've gotten used to, I guess. The bigger issue, however, is that I had the same issue with AoCP. The stock music app did not show any controls on the lock screen, but everything else did. I did a complete wipe before flashing and cleared davlik both before and after flashing, so I'm positive it's not some weird setting I have somewhere that's managed to carry over from ROM to ROM.
I am 100% with you on this. I hate the lock screen controls and can not find a single thread about deleting them. I'll watch this thread and let you know if I find anything.

Widget locker disables the notification bar when locked.... you do have to buy it though... I tried it and does work.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker&hl=en
I don't want to disable the notification bar thou. I don't even want to disable all lock screen widgets just the music controls. I love dashclock. That's what I want of my default lock screen. If the music controls could even be moved to a second lock screen like the camera that would be awesome. I guess I should say I'm on CM. I have no idea how touchwiz handles these things.

Exactly this. While I certainly appreciate the responses from everyone trying to help, the idea of spending $3.00 on a 3rd party app just to fix what, IMO, is a pretty major oversight (just give me a setting in a menu to enable/disable it) is a very hard pill to swallow. I currently use Lockscreen Policy to disable the camera and all secondary widget screens. I've emailed the developer to see if they could add the ability to disable the music controls as well, but haven't heard anything back. ALL I want on my lock screen is time, date, battery and next alarm, which the stock locker and dashclock give me. If only I could disable the $%^#@ audio controls!
*Update/Edit* I've been informed that this radio mod is still possible to do (as of December 2022) however you will now most likely need root privileges for Shortcut Master to access the necessary hidden menus. /Oops Edit pt2. Props to @aospray & @br0adband for revealing this new hurdle & bringing it to my attention.
Greetings all. I am sharing this brief little How-to Guide for anyone that wants to expand the functionality of LG's FM tuner to include the ability to Record directly from the FM radio. You will have the option to record only songs using the apps hidden "Record Music Only" option, or you can record a stations full broadcast including commercials and on air talk.
First a quick side note:
*Since different variants of the V30 include the LG FM radio App while others include NextRadio and so on, for the sake of brevity I am going to assume anyone reading this already has LG's FM radio app on their phone and it is functioning. Depending on your Variant, ROM, and a couple other factors, this may not be the case for you, but maybe you are reading this and now you want this expanded functionality so you will need to download and install the FM radio app if it is not preinstalled on your device.
If you you need to add the FM radio app to your device, you can check out this thread by @rustypie below with some different dl links and a flashable zip made by @syndre or do some searching on the forum as well as on apk sites and I am sure you will find the right method and APK for your variant. (I am using the regular download of the newest version of the app that I dl'd from apkmirror)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/themes/lg-fm-radio-app-download-verizon-v30-t3689294
What you need:
- LG V30 (any variant, or any phone that can run the LG FM radio app)
- LG's FM Radio Application installed on your device ( I am using 7.10.8 on my device, but I had this working on the older versions of 7.0.16 and 4.70.9, so it should work regardless of which one of the apps work on your specific variant/device)
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/lgelectronics/lg-fm-radio/
- Shortcut Master (Paid or Lite version)
https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=shortcut+master
I am including pictures to make this easier for people, so please check them out to aid you in getting this accomplished.
Step 1 - Open Shortcut Master and use the menu at the top right to do a search. After you click search, make sure your select "all apps" from the drop down menu so that it searches your whole phone. Search for "FM Radio".
You should see similar results to those in my attached picture. You are looking for the entry with subtext of "com.lge.fmradio.recordactivity". Click on this and press launch.
*You may want to click "favorites" or "homescreen" to make this easier to access in the future. The app will not retain this preference after use and will always revert back to the version without recording functionality, so having a link in shortcut master or on your homescreen makes it easier to get back to .
Step 2 - Pressing launch in Shortcut Master should have opened your FM radio app. You will now see two things that were not there before. One is a record button on the main screen of the app, and the other is in the recording settings menu in the menu of FM app. If you want to record exactly what you would hear on the radio, simply press the record button and let it record. If you want to record only music and not the commercials and djs, go into that new recording settings menu and enable "record music only".
That's it, You are now able to record all you would like until you close the app. Next time you open the app it will revert back to the old UI, so you will have to repeat the steps if you want to record again later.
Enjoy

Also, I just realized I posted this in Theme apps and Mods, and it should probably be in Guides, News and Discussions section. I dont think i can move the whole thing, so if a Mod would like to move it to the other section, please feel free.

Interesting. Never thought to "report" my own thread. About a year ago, I created a guide on the US998 Hidden Menu which I accidentally started in the Q&A section instead of the Guide section. Still bugs me when I run across it.

Same who may use FM radio.
It's free, doesn't use mobile data plan. In emergencies when WiFi and cell phone outages may occur, FM radio can still be there.
Hi, wow, great find. Sometimes I am listening and I will hear something that I want to download but I know I will forget it by the time I get home.
The "record only music" feature is a bit limited though although clever.
If music is already playing it just says waiting for music so you have to wait for that track to finish, then it has to recognise talking (somehow) before it will record.
If you do not check and miss the "waiting for music" message and the track just started then you wont get it recorded.
Even so, click to record is really useful for me.

Just Curious
This is neat, just to play around with. The one thing I can't figure out, though, is why does only THAT shortcut app show the recordActivity? I've tried at least 10 so far, including Nova Launcher's built-in activity launcher, and all of them only show FM Radio's introActivity. What strange magic makes his work?! the lite version's limitation is not being able to save that activity as a homescreen shortcut.

Because Shortcut Master will access even hidden menu shortcuts. Stuff you're not supposed to see.
Fantastic, it works with with my LG V10 from Tmo!!!
It can finally record!
Would it work with other brands like HTC too?

Shortcut Master is definitely one of my favorite apps. That said, you can seriously mess your phone up though. Like really badly. Just a warning. And not like the usual just in case kind of warning, but a legit guarantee that if you go poking around enough you almost definitely will screw something up that you may need a restore or full redo to fix.
I had considered starting a Shortcut Master thread, and half heartedly did a while back, but I called it something like LGV30 tweaks and mods discussion. I didn't follow up with a shortcut Master section just out of fear a hundred people would ruin their phone but maybe I'll start one now if there is interest, since the Pandora's box is already kind of opened with it being part of most of the V30 guides I've done.
There is a surprising amount of stuff that only this app seems to get to. The paid version is well worth the buck ot two just for convenience sake and I'd normally say buy it to support further dev, but I think the developer is retired as I haven't seen an update or anything new in a while other than him taking the lite version off the play store last year, but still worth supporting his previous efforts.
Shortcut Master is great for accessing the hidden system menus such as your APN presets and all of the sections of the phone that are blocked off of the specific build your on.
Some of my faves are:
The hidden section of the systems built in Call recording screen.
-For anyone that modified their LGIncallUI to allow recording, this setting will let you track specific numbers or tell it to record all calls.
The extra hidden menu items that Sprint trys to get rid of.
(You'll notice in the pics there is the Hidden menu, and the carrier hidden menu. The Carrier one has access to a bunch of stuff removed.)
Your built in Bluetooth settings page that LG for some reason doesn't allow you to access.
AT&T's video call settings (these don't actually VCs work on Sprint)
And quick access to the Radio Info section
I'm attaching a couple pics for anyone that may be interested in some of what I just mentioned.
But one more time, you are all seriously warned! Know that you will mess your phone up just aimlessly clicking around.
I legitimately ruin my phone at least once a week and have to do a full reflash or restore. I am actually past due for one now, as I've managed to screw up something and now my settings force close when I try and enter developer options. So again, you are WARNED!
Have fun.

It should work with any device that can already run the Radio app since it's all built into the app, and is just hidden. So if you were able to get the apk to install and work on your HTC I don't see why it would not.
If you have issues you may be able to use "XML a road to vendor apps" module ( I think that's what it's called) on your HTC to get it to install the LG Radio app. Just a guess though.

Most phones meant for market outside the US have FM . This feature was removed or turned off by US carriers to enable users to use data to maximize their profit. As a preference it is a feature I put into consideration when purchasing a smart phone except if I have no option despite the fact that I have unlimited data. I just refuse to accept that I have to use data to listen to FM stations around me. I do not consider a phone as an upgrade when a carrier or or a manufacturer remove basic functions from the phone.

WELL SAID !! :good::good:
Has anyone had this not work because it appears to require root? I realize that there's no mention of requiring root at all in this thread, so I decided to give this a shot on my V30 just now. installed the latest LG FM Radio app (7.10.8), installed Shortcut Master (paid, forgot I even bought it in the past, go figure), and followed the instructions as written but of course - and my V30 is not rooted at the present time - it's telling me it requires root to even start the FM Radio app with the shortcut (using Launch).
The FM Radio app works fine, but whenever Shortcut Master calls it I get the following so if anyone has any tips to get it functional I'd appreciate it, thanks.
ps
I did a complete clean install of US99820h on my V30 earlier today and for some strange reason now when it's in Hi-Fi DAC mode (I have ~50 Ohm headphones) I've apparently lost the single-step volume control, dammit - now it's jumping 5 steps each time, 35, 40, 45, etc, instead of 30, 31, 32, and so on. Funny how a clean install can sometimes break so many things, eh?
Later Edit:
The reason I'm having issues with the single-step volume is because I'm using Button Mapper so I can skip audio tracks using the volume buttons; it's overriding the defaults of the volume controls for the most part. It has some advanced options to disable the functionality when the volume panel is showing onscreen (meaning I get the single-step control again but the first tap skips 5% regardless), and with the screen off it doesn't provide any single-step control whatsoever, kinda crappy but that's how it goes. I wish phone makers would just include the option to skip tracks with long presses by default, make it an option you can enable. BLEH.
Final Edit:
I decided to do a clean everything last night, started totally fresh, from scratch, and do everything one step at a time, got it all working just fine and with Magisk 19.2 installed I was able to get the recording aspects working too with the LG FM Radio app so, I'm good to go.
From your last edit, you are rooted now? Was that the solution?
