This thread has been created for discussion of the paid Spirit FM Radio Unlocker app for Android.

It was created for a problem which may no longer exist. New XDA members with less than 10 posts were unable to post in a "developer forum". If you can, please post in the main thread:

Please feel free to ask questions related to the free app or the paid Spirit FM Radio Unlocker here.

From a previous version of the overview at: https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

Spirit FM Radio is a real tuned FM radio app that supports RDS data. It is NOT a streaming app.

It works on a few stock phones with Broadcom or TI FM chips, but usually requires SuperUser/root access. It is mostly likely to work well on CyanogenMod ROMs.

Google does not support FM, and Broadcom and TI specs are secret, so this app uses painstakingly reverse-engineered low level methods. PLEASE do not rate it down if it doesn't work on your device.

Work is underway to support as many devices as is feasible.

Please purchase the Spirit FM Radio Unlocker to enable full functionality and help to continue this development.

In response to evgenln's post about Motorola DroidX problems on CM7 posted originally here, starting at post 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1157255

I spent most of today looking over the latest CyanogenMod code for FM:

- The app,
- The framework,
- The hardware and JNI components,
- The FM related audio code.

I see that there is now some FM code for some Motorola devices. I think it's early code and AFAIK there is no working FM app for CM on Motorola phones. (?)

I think something in this new code might be causing some issues, but I can't really say it's "to blame".

There is work I need to do to make my Texas Instruments code more robust, on my HTC Legend as well as the Motorola devices.

I can announce and let you know when further attempts at running my app should be tried on Motorola devices, but there are also many other tasks on my "to do" list than need to get some time.

Thanks for your reply, I'll wait.

hi again mike(from the forum this time :P)
so here is my issue: i've read in your other thread about your app working on x10 mini. i have the x10 mini pro, and i am facing this issue: app starts normally, seems to play sound well and find stations. but: there is something that happens non-stop: it is as if it tunes to a station and then changes again to another frequency, then again to another, then to others and back to the first one. all of these happen repeatedly during a short time, and it seems i am not able to tune to a specific station and listen to it. i have your latest version, with region set to greece and audio method Sony Ericsson, which worked for the other guy with the x10 mini as i read. any ideas?

thanks in advance!
