Someone in another forum is stating that they got the Radio to work. Here is what he said he did. Maybe someone can test this out.
"First you will need a gsm touch diamond rom or touch pro rom - extract the drivers relating to the fm radio i.e. fms.dll or fminit2.bts -move these file into your oemdrivers folder (replacing the one that are already in there) and BAM done .... I got this to work on a rom I was working on then I got a Touch Pro so it does work however the sound is not that loud.... enjoy"

I think this is where he saw the quote: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=2861804

The thread doesn't have anyone confirming the results though. Looks like this worked for the Diamond only. Feel free to try if you want to hack a ROM and put it in.

I think we all know that it works in the Diamond already. What we want is to confirm that someone got it working on the TP

I didnt post the forum because I was not sure if I was allowed to post links to other forums. But in case anyone wants to check it out I saw it over at smartphonejunkies.com

Oh and I know they got it working on the Diamond, this caught my eye because he is stating that he got it on the TP. So I was wondering if someone with some ROM cooking skills would want to try it.

no2chem has stated he is trying to make a ROM that can interface with the FM radio.. But it seems it is locked by the MSL... Not sure of the details...

You can post links to other forums... I do it all the time.. It helps send people to relevant information instead of making them search the site for it.. And I post links to site outside of PPC Geeks... Until I am not allowed to, I will keep doing it..

I have contacted the owner of phonewreck.com... He is going to do a tear down of the CDMA Touch Pro.. I asked him if he could indicate and find out if the CDMA version has the FM radio hardware installed.. I will make sure to check which carrier-branded version he is doing this on.. He said yes, he will find it for me... So when he finds it, I will let you all know... He should do it in early december... After this, we will all know if the hardware is even installed... If it isnt, no dice... If it is, then its an issue of engaging an interface to run the FM radio...

The hardware should be there, the fm radio is part of the bluetooth chip. I have been playing with this off and on over the last few weeks and the TP does appear to communicate with this portion of the chip. However, I cannot get it to tune a signal. It is possible this is disabled via the SPL, a DLL, the ti config scripts, or the antenna connection is disabled via jumper. There is a FM test app in the HTC tools pack so it does not appear to be a crippled FM bts or fm dll, though the fact this works on diamond proved this already. So basically, theres hope, but it may take a while.

If it is locked by any of the above ways, is it possible to work around it? I know very little on the software side.. Can you crete a custom MSL, or change the DLL?

Heres the post over at smartphonejunkie.com: http://www.smartphonejunkie.com/show...ht=touch+radio

Im not sure if its true but I do know I was looking on youtube and one of the mods at smartphone was saying he has radio working on the pro.
