Greetings from Chile

You can do it via GITHUB. Much faster.

thanks for the new build, the white line between statusbar and frequency display is gone :thumbup:

i found that in the new build, every time I start the radio, it ask me to scan for stations, same happens if the radio play in background and I click on the notification. that happens only for me?

is the landscape mode now integrated? for me it don't switch :\

a bit off topic.. sorry.
royale, what app do you use
to get that floating download and upload monitoring speed watermark?

I'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?

Great point.

So like an stop and play button equal to musik players? So you have to stop listening to close app? I think that would be great feature.

I'll think about some other possible improvements next days. Before I have to write exams.:crying:

Ah, right, that's the point that I forgot

Right. Currently there's 'stop UI' (e. g. by back button) and the 'stop UI and FM' menu item. I'd like to decoupled the FM state from the UI state.

works on WIUI?

Anyone tested if this modded FM radio works on 2.5.27 GB WIUI?

Anyway, wonderful UI, great job, guys! :good:

Some idea...

I would like to see on the lockscreen , some buttons such as -forward, stop and backward- when the fm radio is turn on, changing between saved stations and also RDS Text resize (I'd rather in the middle, with giant letters is obviously my personal taste)

cheers!

thanks for sharing guys!

How do I install this on cm7? Simply copy it to system/app? Tried this and got an parsing error....

Also for me. Then it stops the FM service. At the end, there are 3 main activities. And the scrolling is again in the wrong direction

And an extended notification? With buttons. You can also use it from the lock screen. It is less practical but...

What do you think of a widget? +1 for advanced notification. Wish I had the time.
