[Adam Sawyer]

Hey guys, looking for how to get that FM Radio chip on your Droid 2 working? Just follow these steps:

1. Droid2 must be rooted. Remount the /system to RW

2. Unzip the archive, and use abd push to put the files in the appropriate folders.

cd system

a. adb push app/FMRadio.apk /system/app
b. adb push app/FMRadioService.apk /system/app
c. adb push bin/fmradioserver /system/bin
d. adb push lib/libFMRadio.so /system/lib
e. adb push lib/libfmradio_jni.so /system/lib
f. adb push lib/libfmradioplayer.so /system/lib

3. Remount /system to ro
4. Plug in headphones.
5. Run FMradio
6 ???
7. Profit!

You must chmod the files after installing them or the radio will just be stuck trying to load

cd c:\wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is

Wow! I was really hoping this would be an app that plays fm radio. I just can't for the life of me understand all of the instructions I've read about rooting or I would be all over this. Rooting just doesn't make sense to me (the process anyway) and im a little embarrassed to admit it. I've installed countless os" leaks" and hybrids on my bb 9530 during the two year period I tolerated it but this process seems waaaaaaay different. I want to root so bad but I swear the instructions might as well be written in chinese...

2. Unzip the archive, and use abd push to put the files in the appropriate folders

Unzip what archive? Where is it, where do I get it? Thanks

I found the files somewhere but could not figure out where to put the folder system, (on sd card, in folder on computer where adb was etc) I put them everywhere but could not make the push instructions to work. Kept saying "Not Found". So not to be put off, I used Root Explorer to get the files in proper locations from sd card to internal \system\wherever; and then used the adb shell to input the chgmod instructions above.

Well, it was not in my app drawer. Ha! So, I used Root Explorer again and I went to System/app/FMRadio.apx. I tapped it and it said that it would install the thing. I hit install, and Boom! the radio came on. And its icon showed up in drawer.

Anyway, if anyone has time, please tell me where the original system folder should have been placed for those push instructions above to work. Thanks

Here are the COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS for all of us newbee's and they work. Copied from this link:
[APP] FM Radio for the Droid 2!! - Page 2 - xda-developers

Extract the files and open up the system folder, where you'll have app, bin, and lib folders. Copy those 3 folders into your sdk tools folder. Then:

cd c:\wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is
adb devices
adb remount
adb push app/FMRadio.apk /system/app
adb push app/FMRadioService.apk /system/app
adb push bin/fmradioserver /system/bin
adb push lib/libFMRadio.so /system/lib
adb push lib/libfmradio_jni.so /system/lib
adb push lib/libfmradioplayer.so /system/lib
adb remount
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
chmod 0644 /system/lib/libFMRadio.so
chmod 0644 /system/lib/libfmradio_jni.so
chmod 0644 /system/lib/libfmradioplayer.so
chmod 0755 /system/bin/fmradioserver
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
exit

Thank You for the complete instructions. I finally got it to work. No one else mentioned the "remount" instruction.
