Tutorial: Hack an FM radio onto your DROID 2 5

Over at xda-developers, member “slayher” has managed to do some pretty clever hacking on his DROID 2. Using his method, which has been made public in the xda-developers forums, you can add FM radio capabilities to your DROID 2 as well. Just like that, your phone will be cooler than all the other kids' on the block. We should mention that this isn't by any means easy; no one-click solutions here. You could easily brick your phone if you're not careful, so be sure to proceed with caution. But, if you're familiar enough with your device and things like ADB and filesystem remounting, then feel free to give it a try.

All you have to do is download the zip file here, and then follow these instructions directly from the xda thread:

1. Droid2 must be rooted. Remount the /system to RW

2. Unzip the archive, and use abd push to put the files in the appropriate folders.
cd system

a. adb push app/FMRadio.apk /system/app
b. adb push app/FMRadioService.apk /system/app
c. adb push bin/fmradioserver /system/bin
d. adb push lib/libFMRadio.so /system/lib
e. adb push lib/libfmradio_jni.so /system/lib
f. adb push lib/libfmradioplayer.so /system/lib

3. Remount /system to ro
4. Plug in headphones.
5. Run FMradio
6 ???
7. Profit!

Due to the way this is done, you will need to be sure to install the Android SDK so that you can use ADB. For more info and full details, along with support if you run into any issues, be sure to hit up the source link below, and let us know how it goes in the comments!
