Replace stock FM radio

[Guest ontherocks]

A feature I wanted badly on the stock FM radio was, to be able to output audio through the speakers. The stock FM radio does have a speaker icon, but clicking that doesn't do anything. Then I found another brand phone which had the stock FM radio, in which the speaker icon actually worked (i.e. audio was output through the speakers).

So I extracted the FM radio apk from that phone, uninstalled the stock FM radio in my blade and tried it to install the extracted apk in my blade. However that apk, doesn't install. It says "Application not installed". Why is it not installing? Below is the link to the extracted apk.

You could try installing it as a system app.

Using a root explorer you could copy it to system/app/ then reboot worth a try.

So, just copy & pasting the apk to /system/app is enough? Is that equivalent to installing the app?

Nope, that didn't work.

Hmmm, you could try this app made by andorko

That doesn't have an option to output audio through speaker.
