How To Enable The FM Radio On CDMA Diamond Or Touch Pro

Somebody can put to work the FM Radio on the Sprint Touch Diamond version?

Isn't the US TD a Sprint TD?

Try the kitchen with 2.02 OEM or wait for the ROMs to get it.

WeeeeHoooo
if it CAN BE MADE TO WORK ON CDMA phones...is there a way to convert it into a cab instead of forcing a ROM installation????
I'm not a big fan of chancing a bricked phone...If not Why would it only be available via a new ROM and not a CAB?

There is no chance of bricking your phone once you're past the unlocking stage...

And no, so far there isn't.

I seen once in a few web page, and I don't know where was, almost when UK TD release, they sell CDMA TD way before Sprint TD get the FCC approval for US. Then... There are two versions?

If someone can confirm that this will work on the Touch Pro....That would be great. There are so many contradictive reports about this.....it drives me nuts

right now...here is the response to all your fm radio questions as of now (from a reliable source):

"no2chem:
So, a recent hot topic in the CDMA Diamond/Touch Pro world is the FM Radio – Here’s what my research has shown so far:

The Bluetooth chipset (BRF6350) on both devices support FM Radio+RDS, but need an antenna provided by the headphone to operate.

I’ve got the FM Radio to work perfectly on the Diamond, and will release nueROM-S for the Diamond that supports the FM Radio.

HOWEVER, the Touch PRO is a different – I suspect that either the radio gpios are disconnected completely, or radio support is disabled in the SPL.

As to why Sprint/HTC decided to take out the FM Radio, I’m not sure… Perhaps they had difficulty obtaining FCC approval, I’m not sure… Or maybe HTC wanted more money to include the FM Radio…."

hope that helps

Is it possible for anyone to make a .cab file for this?

I really do not want to flash my phone just to get FM radio.

Thanks

To all who wants to enable radio on their Touch Diamond by Sprint, try cooking CALCU's kitchen here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=41637

It works just fine and the rom seems to be very stable. I can't stop listening my radio now... I just love it!

You mean Tobey and Ghetto's Kitchen with Calcu's modification.
