Android Kernel and Framework code...all here with subtle drivers and utilities variations depending on the specifics of some regions of the world. Nice. No drivers for the Broadcom BCM4319 FM Radio module though... (yeah, I'd love to see an FM-Radio app running on the Tab )

What? I'm really tired at the moment..but are you saying that the tab has hardware radio but No drivers for it? Every tab version has a radio module??

Yes, you can say that.

Same chip that the Nexus One uses which has had software ported to use the FM feature. In theory that same code could possibly be used to gain FM access on the Tab.

Do NOT expect to ever be able to use is as an FM transmitter though (handsfree over FM etc)

This source is great news though, a custom rooted firmware on the tab would be fantastic.

Why ? XDA devs are already looking into it apparently, and some code recently surfaced on GitHub with Bluetooth/radio capabilities

Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

wow - id love to try some rom with fm radio capability!

Surely without an amplifier it'd only have a range of a few inches at most? If it could piggyback off the on-chip bluetooth/wifi amp then it could work, I'd be guessing it'd knock out bluetooth/wifi while you were using it though. Sounds intriguing though, I'll have a look at it.

It'd be fantastic if someone could enable FM radio on the radio, I don't think that knocking out the bluetooth would be a prob. The wifi though..hmm..maybe that'd be a prob.

Awesome! This is excellent news!
