Brother i respect your decision but something that involve the likes and ease of use will vary for each individual and will attract criticism...take some time off and complete your exams...that's priority...but do come back for Defy development...we need more people to get involved for certain and you are good at it...best of luck!

He's a student and need to take exams. This FM-project will not help him to buy a bread in future. I think his decision is right, his exams are not easy at all.
you're right, priorities...
i wish i could develop things for android (no java or c++ knowledge, just python), this was a great concept, someone must finish it...

Two weeks ago maniac103 decompiled the MotoFM radio from GB. You all know the Moto FM Radio. The UI is ugly. It won't look good in JB. So I decided to give her a makeover. The coding part is almost done. Since I suck bigtime in drawing It's time for tha community to give something back. I know there are some real talented designers here.
So I have attached an apk based on the current source here. You'll have to copy it to /system/app to install. You'll also nee FMRadioService.apk and FM radio binary. The source can be found here. What needed to be modded : radio panel background, radio panel fonts, radio scan animation, radio seekbar . If you want to help, pm me a mockup of the proposed design.
All the credits go to CyanogenDefy team, especially maniac103. For FM panel drawables thanks to dab512, Icon by Hairo and LeopardSurd

Source : https://github.com/royale1223/android_packages_apps_MotoFM (compile in eclipse using http://devmaze.wordpress.com/2011/01/18/using-com-android-internal-part-1-introduction/ , password for platform.jks is 'android')10I've thought a bit on how the interface could be improved even further. Here are my ideas:
- Drop the speaker preference and the speaker menu item, and replace it with a speaker on/off toggle button in the upper action bar whose state is saved persistently, so that the chosen setting is used on next start (basically that means combining the old menu item and speaker preference)
- Replace the start-FM-on-start-app and stop-FM-on-exit-menu-item logic by an explicit on/off toggle button in the upper action bar. Makes it more obvious what's going on and allows e.g. for editing stations without enabling FM. Need to take care of the various places in code that simply assume FM is on while the UI is running.
- Drop the 'hide action bar' preference, as the action bar is needed by the new buttons mentioned above.
- Implement new preset handling as mentioned earlier. There could be a 'Manage presets' activity that allows for re-sorting, editing and deleting presets; and an additional 'save current station as preset button'. I would put all those buttons (scan, add station, manage) into the lower action bar and kill the clear, save, edit items from the menu
- Add station backup/restore (this will be my next work item).
Thoughts, rants, improvement suggestions, anyone?10Advanced notifications
