Guest wyxwyx Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Sorry, I hate writing posts like this but could someone please upload the fm_hcitool file? I have stock 2.2 and I have searched this thread (promise!) and can't find it. I can see a "speaker" file, but not the normal one. Thanks! I need also.
Guest Sotiris Lekkas Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 Is thers a way to change the volume?
Guest drelle Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 I need also. Hi, You just need to change the file in this thread 'fm_hcitool_speaker' to 'fm_hcitool' and put it in /system/bin/ and this worked for me. Will it ever work to output to headphones? And change the volume? Really nice job with this app! Appreciate a lot!
Guest paullong Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 OK, got this from Steve's ROM update zip files. Use this in your bin folder for radio with headphones etc as it should be!fm_hcitool.rar
Guest drelle Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 OK, got this from Steve's ROM update zip files. Use this in your bin folder for radio with headphones etc as it should be! Thanks, that worked like a charm. Now we just need to change the volume and this app would be perfect!
Guest paullong Posted January 16, 2011 Report Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks, that worked like a charm. Now we just need to change the volume and this app would be perfect! Well, there is also an additional small wish list:Turn the radio off when a phone call connectsRDS (especially for mrmrmr!)volume workingetc
Guest dzuest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I'm trying to use Astro to copy the fm_hcitool file from my SDcard to \system\bin problem is when i click edit > copy in Astro it says "Copying fm_hcitool" but when i go to \system\bin and hit Edit, Paste is grayed out... can't seem to copy files there. What am i doing wrong? I'm on DJ_steve's StreakDroid 1.6 and i'm rooted... i can copy the file within the SD card so i know Astro works... Edit: Also... downloaded the .rar and put it on the SD card. When i tried using StreakDroid Recovery to apply a .zip it never showed up in the list, so i changed the name on my PC to .zip and moved it over to the SD card again... When i tried to install, it was there this time but came back "Can't open /sdcard/_android2.2/Streak_Radio.zip (bad) "install Aborted" Downloaded and tried to install again, same thing... Edit 2: Ok apparently it installed anyway... I used Astro to browse my SD card and try to install the apk... got there and used the app manager to launch it and it said it was already installed... went to Apps and there it was... *****Also i didn't need the fm_hcitool in /system/bin for the Radio to work, not sure but as stated i'm on StreakDroid 1.6***** Its great to have the Radio working and all, but the volume is so LOUD... I can't even use it. LOL. Be waiting for an update to this great app if XsCode gets the time... volume control would be GREAT! Edited January 20, 2011 by dzuest

I find the radio comes in loud, but as soon as I hit the volume buttons a bit it goes down to an acceptable level..
Guest zero410 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I find the radio comes in loud, but as soon as I hit the volume buttons a bit it goes down to an acceptable level.. I get the exact same behavior. Unfortunately something would cause it to pop back up to being super loud after a while (made me jump in my seat!). However, leaving the volume up (and using a headphone that has volume control on it) seems to help, but then if a phone call comes, or I try to open another player (power amp), the volume comes out the loud speakers. Its really inconvenient... (same behavior for phone calls, it seems to cause my volume on my head set to get shot as well.) Workarounds I got right now would be to switch from silent to normal mode and back with the headphones unplugged. It seems to resort the volume issues. Using streakdroid 1.6.
Guest dirtytiger Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 @paullong thank's for the fm hcitool ;) :) now it work's on my streak, stock rom 2.2/318 with root
Guest maskaler Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 There are no guys, just me.... I have a full time job, writing little apps is just a hobby....I have made some strides in controlling the radio via HCI rather than fm_hcitool but I have no idea of when this will be releasable.. Care to share? I've got the source you posted on here and am having a play
Guest XsCode Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 I didn't pan out as it still needs root... also i've been very busy recently so no work has been done on it.. but if you run hcidump with adb shell and mess with the radio app you will see patterns.... ;) Care to share? I've got the source you posted on here and am having a play

Have you put the latest source anywhere (with the preset buttons)? The one in this thread doesn't have 'em. Will give the hcidump a go though :lol:
Guest XsCode Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 Post 82 has the source with the presets I think Cheers! Have you put the latest source anywhere (with the preset buttons)? The one in this thread doesn't have 'em. Will give the hcidump a go though :lol:

Thanks, Albert. there are a few threads regarding rooting the streak. and there is a search function on these forums. Not to be rude, but if you are starting from scratch, its best you read the correct threads, that already have many of the answers to the questions you may ask.

I've rooted my stock 2.2, also 318, put the fm_hcitool in /system/bin, and installed the .apk.... I'm using headphones (as supplied), have the volume full up, the gui is working (it changes frequency), re-booted... BUT no radio. :D Help please

Guest maskaler Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Braver, but still dumb - what do I do with the TE? Type su and hit enter, then say yes to allowing root access Then type fm_hcitool 1 to turn it on. If it errors, you know something is wrong. fm_hcitool 0 will turn it off

If it errors, you know something is wrong. fm_hcitool 0 will turn it off Ah-Ha 'fm_hcitool not found' Further searching shows no sign of bcom_fm either. Have repeatedly tried copying using various file managers: some won't ("read only"), some will ("copied") but not one actual copy made in the bin. What am I missing ? And many thanks for your prompt responses - now I MUST get it to work!!!

I'm on DJ Steve's 1.5.1 at the moment and fm_hcitool is in /system/xbin rather than /system/bin - may be worth giving that a go.
