Root FM radio will not work

[jpkotor]

I've tried searching this problem on Google and the forums, so forgive me if this is a repeat (which I'm sure it is...)

I'm on Fresh and the FM radio tuner has been removed. It's in the "Fresh-removed-apks-3" folder. I tried installing from HtcFMradio.apk using ES File Explorer and I keep getting "Application not installed". I copied and pasted it to the sdcard main folder and tried from there and get the same issue. I also tried File Manager and AppInstaller.

I found another .apk online and tried installing from that apk, now I get a force close every time I try to run it. I read somewhere that wiping the data using Settings > Applications > Manage Apps > All, etc then resetting it works, but Clear Data was grayed out. I wiped the data with Titanium and then reset but I'm still getting a force close...

Any advice on making it work? Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, you need to copy the apk itself to /system/app. Don't try to install it.

I am going to be honest...I have never been able to get this to work lol.

there is a thread somewhere that explains how to make a zip and flash it in recovery.

fresh claims just clicking on it will reinstall it

and sometimes you can copy it into /system/app (you must make writable) that may be what I did wrong last time.

there are also directions on xda on how to adb push it

i adb pushed it to system/app and it said -rw next to it, doesn't that mean its readable and writable? still didn't work. :/

I am going to pm you a link ...try grabbing the apk out of the zip file and see if that one works

You might try Astro for a simple way to install an APK.

Just curious why you are using the native app for FM radio? With Iheart and Tune In any AM/FM station can be played with much better clarity and no need for a headphone/antenna.

the problem with installing from the apk was it kept giving me a "application not installed" error. i hadn't heard of those other ones, i'll give tune in a go because it has more stars on the market

Pm me if you still need that link. We have been camping this weekend

IHeartradio will have the Clear Channel stations and Tune In will have all of the others.
