RFM Radio - real radio (not online, not require Internet), that uses real hardware radio for Android smartphones based on Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.
NB: Application requires root.
Currently supported ONLY smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon (except >=632 and >=820). Supported models see here.
Note: though the app itself is covered by the GPL, there are 3 Qualcomm files (native platform specific routines to program the V4L2 driver for FM) used which are not.
Capabilities:
- Listening to the radio.
- Reading RDS - PS and RT.
- Display the signal strength in dB.
- Radio recording in .wav and .mp3 files.
- Saving favorite frequencies with name.
- Ability to create multiple favorites lists.
- Automatic search for radio stations.
Wants root
While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
