Hey guys is there a app to replace the default FM Radio in HTC Wildfire without rooting it. And will it work on HTC Wildfire S?
No Streaming. Only the available FM station available after attaching the headphone.
Don't think there is one which works without rooting. I am aware of only Spirit FM as an app for "actual" (Not internet based) FM radio. You can check out the thread here:

Thanks for the reply but i have already tried it. It says unsupported hardware.
It worked for me when I tried it out a long time back. Did you test on the Wildfire or are you only referring to the Wildfire S? (If it's the latter case, I would recommend you ask at the respective Wildfire S Forums. They are totally different devices)

Hi,
is it possible to install the Sense FM Radio on a non-Sense Rom?
I tried installing the PirateRum HTCApps-package but it didn't work. Do I need special apps installed before installing the FM Radio?
I hope somebody knows how to do it!
I would also like FM radio working on Froyo and would respectfully request that the more capable among us work their magic.

I approve this message!
I'm waiting for it for long...
couldn't get it installed (e.g. reset permissions, etc.) .
if anybody else can get it going, holla.
P.S. got it from the EVO 4G forum.

I'll give it a go!
There is a problem parcing the package????

If is a parcing error you usually have to download on a computer and move it to your phone then install.
I don't think the g2 has been shown to have a FM radio chip inside. Has it? If not tune in (aka radiotime) will work for most major markets.

the phone does have a FM transmitter and receiver....
it's just a matter of getting it on
NAND unlock can't soon enough
APK's not valid, only contains MAINIFEST.MF
FM radio won't be accessible until someone implements it in a custom ROM, like Cyanogen did on the N1. perm root is needed to get the drivers working, etc. it'll happen at some point.

that's what i feared.
If you pulled it from the evo then it's not a 'stock' froyo radio. It's the fm tuner by htc, and it probably requires some sense frameworks to function. Not to mention it probably requires kernel changes.
Sorry to disappoint...
And if I'm not mistaken, isn't the CM fm app a modified version from the MIUI roms?
I'm not sure if it needs much from Sense. I read a week ago that a group got it working. I also read that it was gonna be part of cm6.1.
This was from the Nexus threads.

Did you say.... TRANSMITTER?
I'm so excited if it actually has a transmitter, I didn't know that

I have not read the kernel sources.
is the radio uncommented? If so, it will work.

Yes, yes it is.
Has anyone had anyluck with this since PermaRoot... I cannot get any data connection at work and I miss my Radio?
It will get figured out prob once CM 6.1 stable drops. It's definately the Kernel!!!! I have a nexus one and it's working thru bluetooth somehow. I can play thru the headphones or the speaker using the headphones as an antena...bluetooth must have to be on to connect the kernel to the app. Not sure but hope it helps!!!

I know for a fact it has a transmitter because I installed the Sense ROM on my G2 and the FM app worked.
Theres a difference between FM receiver and transmitter, transmitter is broadcasting pretty much sending music you have on your phone to say your cars FM radio
So I'm assuming you guys dont mean transmitter?
Would be soo awesome if it can transmit!!

Yeah, I agree. Nokia smart phones have this feature for awhile. HTC should consider it.
I was trying to find a working version of the HTC Input keyboard with Cyanogen 7 because I really don't like the stock keyboard. Just wanted to share that I found one, not sure if everyone already knew or not but I thought I may as well just in case.
here's the link
The version that works is the High Res(Froyo/2.2), I haven't tested very much but it seems to be working fine.
As a side not, anyone know if there is any way to get the HTC Camera app working on cyanogen? I miss the effects etc. but am loving CM7 at the moment
(N.B. I am using CM7 Nightlies #4)

Because HTC wasn't nice enough to share the source code for the FM radio with the developer community. So the only way our developers know of to turn on the radio is to power up the whole chip, which includes bluetooth. Without the small amount of proprietary HTS code we are helpless to turn it on by itself.

according to my newsfeed, though, the desire z source code was fully released a few days ago. Was the fm radio source code not included?
Just a shoutout to those apk makers [Mike Reid] out there. Try Spirit FM Radio, an android market free download ($10 unlocker for best results). Packing it in my new rom. Nice.

Thanks insink71.
Saw your post long ago and didn't have anything to add at the time.
LOTS has changed and improved the last 4+ months, including support for stock, un-rooted devices.
I have one user now who has a problem with severe system slowdown when running my app in that mode (without SU). It may not happen when the earphone is not plugged in though.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees this problem. To get the same experience when rooted, deny SU to Spirit when it starts.
April 13 free version is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g4d0at7b3nc3p1z
Thanks !
I can test this.

Will test...
Still perfect sound.
On new phone, HTC unlocked but not rooted; dead stock.
Must be not plugging proper earphones in.. I've heard if the chord is too short it doesn't pich up as the antenna it should be ::shrug::
Ya want me to test free version too? I got unlocked and it picks up more stations than my car radio.. no lie.

No further testing needed, thanks !
Versions prior to the UI update seem fine, and now he's set Theme to Dark and it looks like the problem may be gone. I'm still wondering how that might be a problem though.
I just got a VM WFS primarily because it has FM radio. However, even after downloading the HTC widget I could not get it to work?
Do all VirginMobile WFS have FM radio? I'd purchase the lite version on Google Play but I'm not sure if it would work...
I tried the above link for the free version of this app but the file is no longer there.
Any ideas/thoughts?
Thanks,
Nick

Hi,
I am not sure if this is too early to ask..but i dont see FM Radio in any ICS roms..i tried both LC and VA roms. I also tried installing spirit FM Radio from market but its not working in ICS.
Any idea if we can run fm radio in ICS?

Miui has it.

The FM radio is having issue but I think you can use a radio from the market which might work
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using xda premium
FM is on the to-do list, but there are other issues that take priority. Once all the camera bugs are out, and BT is fully functional you should see it appear in some ICS roms.

Please, someone bring FM Radio to ICS!!!
Bump to this thread
Ok, I'm trying to use Spirit FM, it opens fine, it scans alright, but I can't get any sound, nor from the headset or the speaker... can anyone help me?!?!
Does anyone knows the right combinations to get sound to work for our device with ICS ?!?!
I'm using Lords ICS rom (v3.0)...
