Once running, and you try and close it a message pops up stating it cannot access the transmitter.

Open x-terminal and gain root ("sudo gainroot"), then type the following.

killall fmtxd
fmtxd -d

After this click on the status bar at the top, the fm tranmitter short cut will still be open, click on this. Without changing any settings click save. It will close and the FM icon will disappear.

Now each time you run it, it will work as supposed to.

Hope this helps

the problem here is that some people give engouraging advice but won't stand behind their words if they are wrong. that is why I am here writing warnings.

(and as I said, some laws about reserved frequencies can be really unrealistic for your eyes)

I'm having a HELL of a Good time!!

Last night I cranked up my Pirate N900 Radio Station and drove around the Neighborhood for 4 hours transmitting Elvis singing "Suspicious Minds" at 76.1 mHz.

Then I came home and tore the labels off all my Mattresses.

After that I was so hopped up, I started running through the house with Scissors!

Today, I'm considering getting really edgy and using the Lord's

name in Vain.

Looks like you're gonna be busy, you have a lot to do.

You need to:

1) Call the FCC and report all the Roque Pirate N900 Radio Stations that are causing more trouble than Sunspots.

2) Call the Mattress Police and tell them being on Probation has not cured me.

3) Notify my Mother that I am thumbing my nose at her.

4) Call Rome to arrange my Excommunication.

Ohh, and Tomorrows another day, get ready...

Douche-Nozzle!

Here is a video of fully working unlocked or should I say (HACKED) FM Transmitter

.
It's purely legal at where I am. So I'm uploaded it to Youtube to show that it is working

Thanx! I followed directions on this thread and everything worked perfectly.

For the last 12 hours I have been blasting across as much of the Pirate Spectrum as I can.

Cause that's how I Roll!

Not to be King Richard here (the first Royal Dick), but the person you should be thanking for the "work" posted right before you.

But that's ok, thehandhelblog.com also quoted my advice and references qwerty12's work that has been available on this forum for a month now without credit too.

Been trying to get this working for a an hour or so but it kept coming up with the "Unable to use FM transmitter" message.

I finally got it working by reinstalling the 'Simple FMTX desktop widget', and using this I can now toggle the FM transmitter on and off again with the new wavelength settings. However if I use the FM menu from the media player app or settings it still give the error message. But with the widget it works fine, which suits me as I always use this.

Having these extra freqencies available are really useful to me as I drive 200 miles plus a day and use my FM transmitter a lot and I am constantly having to change frequencies on the move as I cross into different areas, this should help a lot. Thank you.

have you installed fmtx faker? may help
on first run, it will "patch" your fmtxd.

you can unpatch and patch via x-term commands
fmtx-faker-tool patch
fmtx-faker-tool unpatch

Seems to be working. But the only problem is that doesn't want to turn off and giving that message Unable to use FM transmitter and its happening only when using bellow frequency 87.5 Mhz (in my case). The only way i can turn it off is by FMTX widget. Which is ok for me as long as it works and power_level still at 120 without fmBooster.

Actually, that happens to me too.
I had to bring back the broadcast frequency to above 87.5 to turn it off.
