[Maemo 5] Radio FM4 App
 

Earlier this month, I've been working on a FM4 App, which allows you to listen to the live stream of an Austrian radio station, and also see the tracks that are played (you can mark tracks as favorites so you can then later refer to this list when browsing for new tracks at home):

The app has been available in Ovi Store for Symbian and Harmattan for a few weeks now, for the latest version, I decided to port it to Maemo 5 as well. Due to Ovi not providing Qt Mobility 1.1 (which I require for audio playback from within QML), I can't upload it to Ovi, so here's the unofficial package for all Maemo 5 users.

Download: FM4 App 1.1.0 .deb for Maemo 5

If your application manager doesn't allow to install it, please make sure to manually install the package libqtm-11-declarative from Extras - after that, it should work without problems.

Please, can you tell us (only if it's possible) how you did to create this application!? I have many Ideas in head about creating apps to stream reggae stations but no skills in Qt or QML...and all of these!!
Anyway it's a good Job! Congratz!!

Great app!
It would be more cool, if it could make it to a universal radio app.

hi..i installed libqtm-11-declarative and this app, seduced by its looks, but is not all so useful to me...how an i restore my system previous to this installs?

Re: [Maemo 5] Radio FM4 App
 

To remove:
apt-get remove FM4* libqtm-11-* in xterm as root

Re: [Maemo 5] Radio FM4 App
 

i thought libqtm-11-declarative replaced some of root files...if i just remove it wont i be in some trouble?..tks for the help.

Re: [Maemo 5] Radio FM4 App
 

No, libqtm-11-declarative installs Qt Mobility 1.1 into /opt - it doesn't replace any files. You can remove the FM4 App and that package using:

It will show you which packages are going to be removed - if there are packages that you use (and don't want to remove), just remove "fm4app" - in this case, one of your other packages depend on libqtm-11-declarative and you don't want to remove it. It could also be that installing libqtm-11-declarative installed some other Qt Mobility 1.1 packages as a dependency, you can check this with:

If there are packages listed (with "ii" at the beginning - ignore "rc" ones; these are already removed except for the configuration files), you can remove them too - but again, it doesn't cause any "damage" or irreversible changes to your system, the only 'disadvantage' that you have is that these packages take up a little space on your /opt partition.
