not sure how far along you are with your G1.. i assume its rooted haha but the best sense rom i've used to date would have to be zachattack052 & xillius200's 2.1&1.5HERO: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670414

but with this rom you need to have the latest radio and hboot: 2.22.28.25, 1.33.0013d. this rom has most of the latest features and all those sense widgets we all love so much. If anyone knows of a better rom i would love to try it but as of now thats the best i know of. also if you need help flashing it DO ask questions before trying something you are unsure of.. because there's always that possibility of bricking your beloved G1. and we dont want that now do we..? haha feel free to ask me anything you need..
[G1 General] Youleck:
Now I have froyobylaszlo with radio 2.22.27.08 and hboot 1.33.0013d. I changed ROMs many times on my G1 and I know what I must do.

So. zachattack052 & xillius200's 2.1&1.5HER? But with android 1.5 ar 2.1 ?
[G1 General] andychan27:
any ideas about google services in zx 2.1 hero?

i had flashed this rom and i found that i cannot sync with google:confused:
[G1 General] ldrifta:
uhhhmmm im not sure why that would be but i did notice some of the roms dont come with gmail on it so you may have to download the actual gmail app... if not than try reflashing.. because i didnt have that issue.. not sure if it is a huge difference but i also had the 28.25 radio not the 27.08.. also i know it sounds dumb but you actually do have to wait like 10 minutes after the service provider pops up when you first flash.. i recomend following the steps on the rom link exact!! but i know my google services worked when i had it so maybe jus try a reflash if its still not working... sorry for your trouble.. im gonna re flash the rom now so i can see if i find anything...
[G1 General] ldrifta:
it should be 2.1 if im not mistaken... my friend just got the 4g evo and this rom can almost do everything that phone does... almost.. lol it's just the G1 is older and slower so you must be careful on how many widgets you use and jus keep an eye out for your basic memory drains.. i reccomend apps2sd
[G1 General] ldrifta:
here's a link to another pretty cool sense rom http://www.youtube.com/user/ANDROIDZ13 this kid makes roms on his spare time and there not too bad looking.. not sure if they are OFFICIAL yet but i give him props for doing what he does.. only thing is not sure what radio and hboot are required for his roms... im trying to get a hold of em to find out, once i do ill spread the details with the rest of you, but for now take a look at his latest sense rom and some of his previous work and dont be shy to give thanks.. (the download links are in the descriptions of the videos's, click the more info button..)
[G1 General] Youleck:
I saw this ROM, but it's on 1.5 Android. I found this on 2.1 android : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-pY234Q_KQ , but with out backlights :((
[G1 General] ldrifta:
haha yeah i tried that one too and the animations for the clock widget are messed up lol in all honesty the G1 is gonna run hard with all the goodies your looking for so you might have to give up some of those features for it to run smooth... other than that i would use the zx2.1 possibly the best i used so far that has all the eye candy... but i recomend the one i posted earlier bcuz it will run a lil smoother without all the newer stuff like market and photo apk. jus my opinion..
[G1 General] andychan27:
Never mind and thank you for your suggestions.. sync of contact might be not a big issue for daily use as i saved my contact in SIM card already.

Maybe i will flash it again in this weekend...=]

P.S. sry for my poor english:p
[G1 General] ldrifta:
haha no problem.. my only question tho is if you have the actual gmail app? you might have to get the normal gapps in the market like maps and gmail.. i dont remember if there's a gapps pack with the rom but thats wat it sounds like to me.. anyway your welcome and happy flashing!!

Anyone know of an app that will allow music controls on the Google Navigation screen? And if not, maybe this would be something helpful to others, if someone could write this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Stephen1125:
Bump! I this bugs the crap out of me! I was a long time iphone user and switched to android recently. This is the only thing that bugs me about the switch. With the iPhone I could double tap the home button, scroll left and control whatever music was playing without leaving the navigation app or use the built in app music controls.

On android I have to scroll down to the notification menu, click on my music player, change the song, scroll back down into the notification menu, click on navigation to reopen it. I know it's a little thing but it's really annoying.

Any fixes or work around?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Girrlkitty:
bump again, this drives me crazy when i'm driving! I have to decide before I leave whether I want to use the music app and actually be able to control the songs, or use the GPS and actually see where I'm going. Is there any way to get music controls on the GPS screen, or even another app that will at the very least give you the next turn information and let you control your music from one screen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Alan Pickle:
I quoted your older post because I don't have an answer for your most recent post.

The workaround is going to depend on your Rom. I have not been stock in over a year so I'm not sure there is one for that.

I usually have my audio steaming through a Bluetooth device and can use that to control my music on all the roms I have tried.

The Rom I am currently playing with is ClearDroid 1.4.1 build 2, which has a recent apps window in the notification area. You can quickly switch back and forth between music and navigation using this. 1 swipe and one press. If music is playing the notification area also gives you info on the track and a pause button. Tapping it opens the music app but pausing the music causes this notification to clear and you would have to switch back to the music app to restart.

I seem to recall more complete music controls in the notification area of other roms. I can load some nandroids to check.

Now I'm in a Pickle

[Spirit FM] pilgrim011:
Why every custom radio app turns on BT? HTC FM radio doesn't do that? I know that there is some explanation about BT and FM sharing the same chip, but it's weird to me that HTC radio doesn't turn BT on...:confused:

Btw, I have tried this on HTC Desire, but I was unable to scan via "scan" button - I get "FM operation failed. If problem persists, please turn off FM and turn it back on." One more thing - I did a quick comparison with MIUI FM (which is the default radio in Oxygen ROM), and it seems it's not that good with picking up FM signal.

I like that signal strength indicator, btw. :)
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Thanks for your report ! BT is needed to control FM. Most FM "chips" are combination devices with WiFi and Bluetooth, and in some cases GPS. In theory, the manufacturers could enable a separate FM access mechanism, but in most known cases, FM control rides piggyback on Bluetooth HCI commands. Also in theory, if Bluetooth wasn't needed, control could likely be obtained directly from the serial port interface. But that doesn't make sense from a software architecture point of view.

I think the HTC app may be hiding the fact that it's using BT. Eg. if you run "bttest enable" from command line, Linux and hcitool and my app can use BT, but Android doesn't recognize BT is on, because the higher level Android stuff hasn't been started.

The HTC app takes about 6 seconds to start if BT is off. If BT is on I think it's much faster. It's no co-incidence that BT startup takes that time also.

On TI FM chips, it IS possible to turn BT back off when no FM control or data access is needed, just so long as WiFi or something else using that chip is still on. (Otherwise the Android power manager turns it off.) I will look into that further if needed, but I've seen my phones running 8-12+ hours with BT on and FM playing on a single charge.

Yes, the "Scan" function is not functional at this time. Long pressing the arrows for "Seek" should work though, albeit not well on Broadcom devices such as the Desire.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Wonderful ! Thanks for your report.

Standing on a roof with the antenna/headset cable extended the right way may help. :) Probably not safe enough to recommend though, unless you accept all risk. ;)

Longer wires don't help at FM frequencies in my experience, but something directional like a VHF TV antenna might be good.

Switching to "Mono" mode can help clear up the audio with weak signals, with the resultant loss of one channel of course.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
I've published the app to the Google Marketplace: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mikersmicros.fm&feature=search_result

I would prefer that installations be done from the Market now. You can select Automatic updates among other things.

I bumped the version number to 2.0.3 to reflect the disabling by default of the SuperUser ("su") request. If anyone had an older CM ROM that needed this workaround, it can be re-enabled by creating a file named fm_su on the SD Card.

# Eg.: "adb shell touch /sdcard/fm_su"

This command could be tried if you are not getting audio.

# To remove: "adb shell rm /sdcard/fm_su"

[Spirit FM] aled99:
Very nice app! Works well on HD2 (hyperdroid gingerbread). Installed from market.

I'm interested in your updates for turning bluetooth off - but it's not a big deal.

As in the OP the fm recording doesn't crash the app, but it either doesn't record anything or seems to record from the phone mic? I don't really need the recording, just tried it out.
[Spirit FM] skatt127:
It's a great reciever for HTC Leo CM based android ! Works fine for my HD2 and more better than CM7 MIUI tuner.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Wonderful ! Thank you. I will be pushing an update later today that fixes some annoying problems and I'll try to integrate this at the same time.

The annoying problems include:

- The app re-configuring itself and messing up the audio when re-oriented or sometimes when brought to foreground or sent to background.

- The volume control fighting between the app and CyanogenMod.

For anyone not aware, you will likely have to un-install the downloaded app before installing the Market app. The downloaded app uses a debug signature and the Market app a normal publisher signature.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
I don't think so but please feel free to try it and see what happens.

My guess is that the app will go into Broadcom mode but that no audio will be heard. You could verify Broadcom mode by running the following from a connected PC with the Android dev utilities:

adb shell "logcat | grep mode"

When powering up this would result in a line like: "D/fm_hrdw ( 336): BC HCI mode", and likely a line ending with "api_mode: 2".

My understanding of the Nexus S is that it is more or less a Samsung Galaxy S. There is an app on the Market for the Galaxy S called "Fm TwoO", but I've been told it doesn't work on the Nexus S.

The FM TwoO app includes a library and published API for FM and RDS that I'd like to integrate into my app. I think it MIGHT be usable on the Nexus S, if I can figure out how to replicate it and/or otherwise modify it. Perhaps the only problem is that audio routing is different on the HTC phone.

My understanding of the Nexus S / Galaxy S is that they contain a BCM4329 chip for WiFi and BT, but that they also contain a relatively rare chip for FM. This is why it might be misidentified as a Broadcom based device; because it DOES have a Broadcom FM chip, albeit unused and perhaps unusable.

I'll consider your post a request for Nexus S support. If anyone else wants support for this phone (or any other) please post or PM me, and I'll add it to my "vote list".
[Spirit FM] skatt127:
It's a pity, a tuner eats a battery even it's being used and off. I noticed it for a few times. After phone restarted everything is ok.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Great ! Thanks for your report...

The first 2 times you start a recording, it will likely record from the microphone. The 3rd, or perhaps even fourth time, it's possible the FM audio MIGHT be recorded.

For testing, the code increments the input source value each time a new recording is started. On the 3rd time the value gets to 8, the first value Google didn't define. The code was from Qualcomm and I think they created a device that allows FM recording with input value 8. In the next release, I've changed it so that the first time the value is 8 (which will likely throw an error and prevent the stop recording button from being enabled.)

I could not make recording work on my HTC Legend, and attempting to do so would mess up the FM audio output. I just tried now on my Desire HD; FM audio was muted while recording from the mic the first two times. On the 3rd and subsequent attempt, recording would not start. At least the Desire returned to normal FM audio after trying this.

I will disable this function if it can't be made to work on any phone, but for now I'm hoping there might be some phone and ROM combination on which this would work.

It requires the right hardware connections, and some driver and ROM/framework support, and I'm now doubting the CM ROMs are capable of this, but it's possible some phone's stock ROM might. But that would only make sense I think if the phone manufacturer supported FM recording, or at least planned to. OTOH, being able to record would mean the FM could be digitized and then sent to Bluetooth headphones, or any other digital audio output.

I believe the HTC phones support an external microphone for a car kit hooked up to USB. I would guess that it would be possible to create a cable from headphone output to USB mike input and direct analog recording could be done that way. But I don't think many people would want such a weird cable hanging on their phones.

Alternatively, if I can get the FM audio out of the FM chip in digital format it could solve some audio routing issues AND make recording or Tivo type pause functionality possible.

Anyway, please feel free to "vote" on what features you would find most useful.
[Spirit FM] mikereidis:
Sorry, it sounds like you hit some bug and restarting cleared that up. Please let me know if it continues and if you find a way to reproduce it.

I have not yet optimized the battery life in many ways, but generally I've been able to run my Legend for 8+ hours and my Desire HD for about 6.8 hours.

For example, the RDS and RSSI data continue to be collected even when the screen is off. I'll try to fix this ASAP.
[Spirit FM] skatt127:
Well, actually I've tried it a few times. When I start the tuner it works perfectly, no problems at all. Then I turn it off (press a screen button and it becomes yellow)

Then I turned off the screen ( phone is in stand by mode) for a minute or two.

Then I turn the phone again and a battery monitor shows 47 mA. Usually it shows only 4-5 mA. I restart the phone and do not use a tuner at all - after stand by mode my phone shows 4-5 mA as usually. That's it.

I've checked this many times already.

P.S. I've just checked the situation with MIUI FM and found the same thing after a tuner is off. The only difference is if I kill MIUI tuner as a task, a current goes to 4-5 mA. And if I kill Spirit FM in a such way the current doesn't change - it's 47mA all the way until I restart a phone.

Thank you for an answer.
[Spirit FM] aled99:
Thanks for your reply.

I can't seem to be able to get the recording to start after the first attempt, but I will keep trying as you suggested.

The main thing, which makes this app much better than other FM apps I've tried on my HD2, is the mono audio option works... this makes weaker signals sound sooo much better. Thank you!!
[Spirit FM] 4silvertooth:

Simply wait for a call when you are listening to fm. Radio will mute and after that you need to reboot to make for example music to play(also with the stock music player)
