[MOD][Froyo&Gingerbread] FMRadio.apk (for Region: Japan) 76Mhz-108Mhz support

[sargorn]

The FM Radio apk distributed with samsung roms actually supports 3 regions. Europe, USA and Japan. For some reason in early European roms the Japan region was 'locked out', while the app still actually had all the support for it. With the latest releases it's locked out even with the Australian/Asian released roms. (Guessing because the Japanese SGS didn't include the FMRadio hardware). The support is still there in the software though.

Frequencies supported from these settings are:
USA 87.5MHz - 108MHz
Europe 87.5MHz - 108MHz
Japan 76MHz -108MHz

This post now only includes the latest Froyo and Gingerbread releases.
Old releases are mirrored here.

30/Mar/11 Update:
Spent some quality time with the decompiled gingerbread FMRadio.apk and figured it out. JVK FMRadio.apk w/ Japan region below! Flash with CWM.

Also, included are 'untested' updated Froyo fmradios. I'm not planning on flashing back to Froyo to test these, but they shouldn't do any harm. Included are JS8 and JPJ FMradio.apks. They're different sizes. JPJ is about 200kb smaller than the JS8FMradio.apk. No idea what the difference is

29/Mar/11 Update:

The miui radio does not work with Gingerbread (JVK) and the stock one still does not include Japan.


19/Jan/11 Update:

MIUI mod's FMRadio.apk supports Japan region.

Initial release:
So grabbed the FMRadio.apk from the latest Eclair Australian release, deoxed and popped it on. Seems to be working fine.

Thank you very much for the APK. Unfortunately under Froyo this - also - does not give the "Japan" option...

Are you in possession of the FMRadio.apk from the latest Froyo Australian release? If not, do you know where I can find it?

With best regards,

Hi,
Please find FMRadio.apk from I9000DTJG4 (Australia) at the following download link.
This is the from the latest unbranded Australian Firmware which is Froyo 2.2.

Thanks a lot... will try that one out.

Btw: How do you extract stuff out of whole ROMs? Is there a thread or a tutorial on this?

How can I install this Radio-App?

I extracted the 7z and tried to open it with the app-manager. On the following screen i see two tabs (summary and details), and the option to uninstall or start the current version. Uninstalling ends with an error.
I am trying on a Rooted Samsung Galaxy S Froyo.

Can someone try to make a version for froyo 2.1.2?
Many thanks in Advance

I have decompiled the sargorn´s APK(from 2.1) using "android apktool",and found the strings about JAPAN. I think its possible to bypass the check,but i dont understand the Source. Maybe someone can give it a try?

Hi,
I tried to do so, and I deleted the old FM-Radio-App and the odex. When I start the ne FM-Radio, the only two choices are USA and Europe.

I'll "stay tuned" to this Thread

 

[sargorn]

Found something that works!

 

[sargorn]

So I spent a few hours wading through smali decompiled code lastnight without much success. Then I gave giving the cyanogen FMRadio.apk another compile and push, again without success.

The cyanogen FMRadio app is actually from the MIUI mod though. Googled for a pre-compiled i9000 version of miui... and what do you know. Japan is back in it's FMRadio app.

Flash via CWM:

miui-fmradio.zip is the working one with Japan support.
jpy-fmradio.zip is the stock JPY FMRadio if you want to go back.

 

[froetz]

Big thank you.

Works fine on my Device (Darkys Rom) I just replaced the fmradio.pk with this one.

Force closes when trying to change the region in Gingerbread.

 

[sargorn]

Modded Gingerbread version uploaded. Found the actual issue now so new versions shouldn't cause any problems.

 

[robcodemax]

I am not able to update the ROM with the zip for gingerbread...I am using MAGLDR 1.13

 

[sargorn]

The update.zip is wrong. I'll fix it when I get home in an hr or two.

jvb FMRadio with a fixed cwm3 install. Should work.

 

[robcodemax]

I tried it..... it showed successfully installed update...but when I boot into MIUI Android its not there...

 

[joegamal]

Just a thought, would there be a way to use Android as a radio scanner for a wider range of frequencies by patching FMRadio ?
