This version works

only with the 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich Rom

. The 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update unable any radio application such as this one or Spirit FM. This version in the OP as a bootloop during the "Launching the FM radio". So if you want to still enjoy the radio remember that it will only works for ICS. If someone finds that I'm wrong and there is an application which allows us to listen to radio, fell free to correct me.

My current version is 91.2.260001.XT890.Retail.en.EU
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] espaciosalter20:
It wouldn't be a problem, is just take the radio app, decompile, make changes in manifiest.xml to assure to can work on jb ... in fact, you can try the radio apk that is located on defy forums or extract from quarx cm10 Rom (again, in defy forum) and give it a try. I was searching for what fm radio chip razr I has, but I was unable to find any information about it, this information is critical to develop new, exclusive razr I radio fm app

You think it's easy, then tell us you don't even know the FM chip ?

I can tell you the FM chip & I even have threads with excruciatingly detailed descriptions of registers on that chip.

The underlying framework / Motorola Proprietary FM API stuff is gone in that JB update. Removed. Spirit and stock app still loads; just doesn't work.

AFAICT it won't be possible without root, unless there's a JB released that works like ICS does.

[RAZR i Themes and Apps] DaveD1978:
So if i want to use the radio i don't update to JB? Or is there a solution yet?
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] mikereidis:
Don't update.

It will be IMO a long time, if ever, before a solution is found.

Root or a custom ROM, along with a bunch of support for FM, may be needed. And I can't provide that support. So, maybe never.

AW: [APP] FM Radio

what works?!? which app?
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] zht110227:
which app?
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] mikereidis:
Don't get too excited. Anyone reporting it works (either/any app) is likely running ICS.

Droid 4 JB update is released. I'll be interested to see if it also removes FM. Moto seems to have backed away from FM and I wonder if the FM hate that Google has is behind it. Bionic will be next I guess.

On Razr I it appears that FM "works" on a rooted stock JB ROM, using Spirit's low level support for /dev/tifm. But no audio, and note that most of my work these days is for audio; It's a major pain.

I can't see the ALSA controls to see what might work though. And that is likely because my ALSA control utility "ssd" isn't built for Intel architecture, or at least on this phone.

If anyone is able to get utilities like amixer or alsamixer running on the phone, there may be options for rooted JB devices. Are there custom ROMs for Razr I with these utilities ?
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] jeanmoretto:
For me the FM apk doesn't work.

I've tried a lot of things to work but the fm radio still doesn't work.

Just work online apks.

[RAZR i Themes and Apps] xianuro:
Are you on JB?

It's been stated multiple times in this thread that FM Radio only works on ICS.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] jeanmoretto:
Yes on JB.

It's very frustrating cause I don't have 'on line' all the time to use another apk to connect and listen radio station.

So... wait for solution in another way :D

Info from support

according to a mail from motorola support they do not consider to reactivate the FM radio function in jb. They say it did no work propperly under ics so they deactivated it completelly in jb. I guess this is the end.:crying:
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] mikereidis:
The "end" started when Google bought Motorola, IMO. It started with FM hardware that worked, with no FM app. It moved to removing the FM API so loading an app wouldn't work anymore. Googorola killing FM is complete now, with all new phones disabling FM by grounding FM antenna pins.

ICS FM worked reasonably well, though with an audio issue or 2, when using an older Motorola app or my Spirit app.

Support people often don't have the best info, and it's colored by PR/spin and technical talk that gets edited down and over simplified for mass consumption.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] iNitrox:
You're right mikereidis.

It seems that Google is killing Fm, Sd-card and Otg support. They have forgotten that much of the Android popularity is due to all these things. Apple ghost is prowling near from Mountain View :(
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] mikereidis:
Forgotten ? I'm not so sure.

I prefer not to ascribe human characteristics to corporations, which are "psychopathic" by nature.

I cringe when someone says a company is "scared" or "stupid". Corps aren't human.

They are just chasing profits, as is the expected duty for any publicly traded company, even those who previously followed the mantra of "Do no evil".

Android is dominant now, in numbers of devices if not in profits. Now that that is settled, we are seeing Google take advantage of that, by throwing ads (and other profit makers) at us in new ways, now that we're hooked on the Google ecosystem.

I tried to grab a few shares of Goog in the last year or so at $500. Missed it and didn't want to chase. Now it's in the $1000 range I hear. LOL.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonone:
Hi I loaded this rom to my I9100

GT-I9100_WanamLite.XXLSJ.V13.0.NO-WIPE

It is awesome but seems to really drain my battery.

considering testing

[I9100][ROM 4.1.2] Stock 4.1.2 JB to see if it improoves.

I want to find out what ROM has the best battery life on my phone.

Can anyone provide responses on what roms work flawlessly and dont have excessive battery drain.

Thanks so much in advance.

I love this forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
first of all this question is against the rule regardless how it is worded. check the sticky at the top of this forum.

Battery drain depends on a number of factors.

Some of the factors are :

What type of apps you have on the phone.

Do you leave wifi on all days

Do use push email set how often

How you use your phone for calls, streaming and games.

These factors are different from person to person, there for what one rom works for one person may not work for you.

The best way is to experiment with different roms till you find one that suits you in aappearance and battery life.

Above is the link to the 7100 ROM it looks amazing.... What does it take to make this flash-able onto our T Mobile devices... If it doesn't include a radio couldn't we just flash it? I am too scared to flash and try...its less scary to post a new thread ask you to try...haha. If a devo could shed some light or a brave soul could "test" it that would be great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
You can flash it. If you want to lose your radio. Unfortunately even if the 7100 rom does not include radio we have significant differences in our hardware that causes the radio not to work. Most likely something in the ril or kernel I believe (I could be wrong about the reasons). We dont have an AOSP kernel for the 7105 or tmo version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RamboDroid:
Thank you sir... man, I really want that ROM. Was using XquiziT's ROM but the was having a couple problems with it and now the future for it looks bleak. (What I liked so much was the AOSP parts added in) Going to give Saurom a go now I guess.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RamboDroid:
I am TRUSTING you!!! Don't let me down.... LOL (Ref: "..but we will catch up..")
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
we need some devs solely working on what needs to be done for porting from one device to another. the fact that the ROM even functions on our device without modification should be a decent indicator of how close we are.

look in the US SGS3 section, 4 variants all with small differences and porting roms between those 4 is a piece of cake.

if someone could make a stand alone CWM.zip that we flash after a N7100 ROM that gave us back the radio it would be perfect. then we could just run any N7100 rom we wanted, no porting needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
well as much as i love the note 2 if we don't get any aosp love soon ill probably swap devices with my wife. at least her sg3 has cm10/aokp. again not complaining, i just hope development picks up. i was thinking about getting a nexus 4 to tide me over but i hate lg. if anything i still hope the note 2 see's android 4.2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
I am curious. I have had CM/AOKP for years with my other phones. With this one seems a lot of the features I really love are here. What do you feel is missing from TW that AOKP/CM gives you. I am not a fan of TW colors but overall it is good (and I xan theme colors away). Only thing I really miss from AOKP is the wigets popup from nav bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
Aosp is lighter and for me runs better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
I would agree on most older phones....this one I have not had any slowdowns. ....that I did not cause (changing files in system causes FCs sometimes lol)

Im not saying options are bad or that I would not flash AOSP but just wondering why people feel they need it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Avatiach:
Personally I really look forward to having a ROM with mass storage support. Since Google removed it from Android, I am no longer able to connect my phone to Linux for easy transfer of files and have to use all kinds of alternatives.

Not sure it can't be done on a TW based ROM, but CM/AOKP ROMs seem to more commonly introduce it like the one mentioned in this thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jpnelson40:
I second the motion for USB mass storage functions. Maybe wi-fi direct or other technology will supersede it, but it would be nice to have the capabilities meantime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
This I can understand I really wish google made ums/mass storage an option. I understand why they went with ums but options are always nice.

Reasons why I think they went UMS

1) ability to keep sdcard mounted while connected to computer

2) ability to mount /sdcard on /data/media making the internal sdcard the same as the internal data memory

3) most people people use windows

4) the option to turn it on/off may confise some people.

The only one I disagree with is number 4. Stupidd people will find a way to be stupid no matter how much you coddle them.

man up and find a way to increase the numbers.... complaining won't do anything useful anyway...

do this to restore a healthy battery life after flashing a rom.

Download the .apk file I attached below in this post. Then get the .apk file on your phone so you can run it from the phone directly.

Follow the instructions in the app and if you do exactly what the steps require, the battery will become noticeably more stable and drain slower like it should. This works for any rooted phone and especially useful after flashing roms like a CM7 based build which does benefit from a battery recalibration after flashing the rom.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Not sure if general is the place for this but I'd like to start a "formal" discussion of the KDZ files and what they precisely contain.

full disclosure: I'm not a pro with all this stuff, I'm primarily just curious, and know my way around well enough I can do some basic investigating ;)

Here's what I've looked at so far, and what I'd like to do:

So far:

The Telus E973 KDZ file retrieved from LG's servers contains a cab file, which was initially extracted using LGExtract (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1566532)

Inside the CAB is a .dz file and a .dll (G_TDR_0141.dll)

The .dz file does not contain any headers for existing "known" .dz file formats. (For example: http://www.frenchcoder.com/dzextract-lg-dz-file-format-and-extract-tool-lg-ks20/)

It would seem that flashing the kdz using the method outlined in potatohead's thread does not 100% recover from a brick, but seems to depend on what the actual problem with the phone is.

What I'd like to determine:

What exactly is in the KDZ? Does it contain all stock partitions for the phone or only selective partitions. (such as /system)

Out of pure curiosity, when I have time, I'd like to compare the hex of the .dz file, to see if it contains any of the known stock partitions such as the aboot, boot, or recovery. I have this sinking feeling that it doesn't include the recovery based on chadouming's experiences with it. to see if the .dz file is compressed in some proprietary fashion, or if it's a simple arrangement of the stock partitions with some standardized headers.

Please feel free to contribute, or criticize me, I'd just like to fuel some interest and discussion.
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
When I used KDZ I had my bootloader relocked and lost cwm.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
Good to know. I think the one case we've had so far where this didn't work had some "advanced" issues, possibly involving partition table being messed up, which I have a feeling the KDZ flash wouldn't touch.
[LG Optimus G (International)] d0ct0ru:
SmartFlash will be nice to have it completely restore everything to factory default and it is easy to use.

But for SmartFlash we need to convert the KDZ files in to BIN and FLS.

There is a tool for that but works only for P990/P970/P920 firmware's.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1692191

Unfortunately the Rom converter does not work with the firmware's from new phones like Optimus G / Optimus 4x.
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
I think this is due to the fact that they've made changes in the actual .dz format as any existing tool I've tried cannot find any known headers in the file. When I have some time I'm going to see if I can narrow down any patterns/headers.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xonar_:
I don't know about DZ files, but the wdb format that my P970 uses can be made into a AP bin file that is essentially all the partitions of the phone and all the partitions with size (size on the file, not size of partition on device) 0 is skipped over.

I say split up into partitions but it's actually data blocks and can cross over partitions since it uses raw write to device and it looks like a convenience that it's set up that way.

Check out this thread.

It's a tool for extracting kdz and wdb files (dz planned).
[LG Optimus G (International)] thracky:
I used the tool it's based on, LGExtract, to pull the .cab containing the .dz and the .dll in the first place, however we can't do anything with the .dz at the moment.
[LG Optimus G (International)] xonar_:
Oops. Meant to point to LGExtract.
