Guest rayraven Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) ^As for the volume control, instead of a slider, you should consider another knob, like the one used for the fine-tuning. It could be placed vertically on the rightside inside the speaker grill image, which is at the top. You could also re-use the existing knob image, resized. Sorry for trying to explain like this, would've made a mockup but am @ work and dont have access to any tools Edited December 31, 2010 by rayraven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rayraven Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I tried using buttons that are already in the APK, hasn't come out quite as I expected but close enough.. Edit - A couple of borrowed files and an XML edit later and it's looking better (least in portrait, prolly go to s*** in land lol). That's nice, dont think the app does landscape, so no issue there :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phoenix Silver Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 are the buttons updated ? i have the 3 speakers yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest andorko Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 are the buttons updated ? i have the 3 speakers yet No they aren't. Nobody made me buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fonix232 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 No they aren't. Nobody made me buttons. Just an idea, but what about making the knob work as in real-life, so a full spin wouldn't just move 0.1MHz, but it would me the bar really fast (and also would switch between freqs really fast), and then, slow rotation to fine-tune it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest droidvirgin Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Hi Andorko, Thanks for this radio it works perfectly on jap jelly fish. The sound through the loudspeaker would be great if it is possible. I would like to thank all of the clever devs on Modaco who give so much of their time and effort bringing the community the froyo and other updates, I am sur i speak for many and would like to say a big thankyou to you all :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be faster if it sets the frequency when you release the knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be faster if it sets the frequency when you release the knob That's what I wanted to suggest. But I don't think so, because anyhow you rotate the knob, it will only step 0.1MHz :S Also, may you publish your changes on github, or SVN, or any version control system?

Guest Simon O Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) andorko got to say... this app is fantastic. Works brilliantly. Paul needs to replace the non-working stock FM Radio app with this! Edit: Only thing I don't like is the cyanogenmod style speaker. I replaced the images in the APK with the ones from this link and the app, imho, looks better. Edited December 31, 2010 by flibblesan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ZTE guys are not too tricky then there is an si4708 FM chip in the blade, which is not RDS capable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ZTE guys are not too tricky then there is an si4708 FM chip in the blade, which is not RDS capable. The si4708 has been known for some time http://android.modaco.com/index.php?s=&...t&p=1518509 and its the si4709 that is needed for RDS ... so please don't expect RDS! In the absence of RDS, wouldn't it be nice to be able to type in a name as an alternate to display instead of the numeric frequency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
