Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

Maxximuscool,
I've got a few questions.

What is the point of the Southern Cross, other than national pride?
Doesn't seem to do anything?

I only have the FM Transmitter "Status area button" after I enable it from settings. When I turn it off it disappears. It did not work this way before the 1.3 update?

It did unless you used qwerty12s FM transmitter status applet, all files are here:

The southern cross indicates the activation of region 4 which allows the use of the lower frequencies,

Kind Regards,

FM transmitter power level is locked in kernel, what one need is modified kernel module. What PR 1.3 fmtx kernel module does is to expose new sysfs property 'lock'. fmtxd sets power level of 112 (at least for my region) and afterwards writes '1' to lock, which disables any further writes to power_level sysfs property until reboot. I've modified fmtx kernel module and right now using it. Good news is that tx power level no more changes when charger is connected to phone, thus making possible to set tx power only once during boot. later will post modified module plus startup script for setting power level.

Umm... Just out of curiousity why would you need to modifying it again?
The fmtxd posted here is 100% compatible with PR1.3 and PR1.3 doesn't changed the FMTXD kernel module. I'm using the one I uploaded here and my FMTX is working like it used to on pR1.2. My power level is 120 constantly when FMTX is enabled. Charging does not interfaring with the power level at all. Also my scripts uploaded here are completely working like a charm also. It is the region change start up scripts. One using python and one is using shell script.
You can also add:
echo 120> path/to/power
in the custom_swappiness as well if you want. I don't see a necessary thing of recompile of repeatitive things over and over again. If you could then why not help me packaging the hack into one deb file. I failed to do that part.

FYI: the part it says FM Tran state: disabled is because i didn't refresh it. Otherwise it should say Enabled.

which kernel are you using - titan's power one or stock one?

p.s. maybe it is my fault posting to wrong thread

That just an icon for regional changed to 4, southern cross stars are made up by 4 bright stars and also a symbol of oceania continent. So i used it to make region 4 as the stars of the south.

The stars represntng that your FMTX region is now 4 instead of 1.

4 is global frequency range.

To make it work properly you need to install ProfileX from Extra-devel.

It will make the python i'm using runs at startup. I couldn't package the file into deb ball so i use ProfileX dependency instead.

Hope this answered your questions. Althernatively you can use the Custome_swappniness shell script. I prefered the icon in my status menu because it tells me that my region is now 4. :)

I'm using stock kernel. I have had no issues with this at all. I knew some people also using Power Kernel with PR1.2 with this hack and it worked for them tool

PR1.3 power kernel may be still not yet compiled but i'm sure that it will work as well. This hack still allowing you to do a system update OTA as well. it does not conflicting with the OTA update. The only problem is the OTA update will replace the FMTXD back to standard one and you'll need to unlocking it again after the update. Otherwise it's perminant and only needs to do just once as long you don't reflashing your OS or update :)

But you can hack it back again just like Transition.ini

Sorry, definitely posted to wrong thread.

Re: Unlocked FM-Transmitter frequency 76.0Mhz->107.9Mhz (Limitation Fixed)
 

Well...
I had a backup of original fmtxd from PR1.2, and I downloaded again unlocked fmtxd from
http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD
And there was an fmtxd of PR1.3.
Neither original fmtxd of PR1.2 nor unlocked fmtxd from
http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD
can run. When I choose frequency like 90, and click save, it says "Unable to use...".

So your words are a riddle to me.
