I mean, if works as fm radio or just transmitter?
Sorry that the description is unclear but this is only for the transmitter. It is no replacement for the FM Radio application.

Are you clicking on the Bluetooth icon? Bluetooth is not switched by the main power button.

Does Bluezwitch work for you? It's using the same DBus commands.

What is it?

Friendly FM is a widget that allows to switch the FM transmitter of the N900 on or off. It can also be used to quickly change the current frequency of the transmitter and to switch the Bluetooth radio. (Bluetooth is switched by clicking on the Bluetooth icon.)

How does it differ from other widgets with the same functionality?

Friendly FM uses the background graphics for the media player widget from the current theme for itself. Thus not locking like an 'alien' widget on the desktop but rather being friendly and looking like a native widget.

Friendly FM is no replacement for programs like FM Radio.

Huh? Show me a screenshot!



That's cool, where can I get it?

From extras-devel or Maemo package interface.

I don't like the icons. Can I change them?

Friendly FM loads its icons from

Code:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps (ffm_inc.png ffm_dec.png)
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/apps (ffm_on.png ffm_off.png)
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps (ffm_bt_on.png ffm_bt.png ffm_tm_on.png ffm_tm.png)
Transmitter and bluetooth icon were taken from Faenza icon theme.

You suck!

Yeah, I know.
Yesss... I was waiting for this kind of widget.

Oh and nice music taste

How would this be integrated in the UI? You need an easy way to store a frequency as preset, manage presets and select a preset. Hard to imagine a solution on such a small widget.

Managing could be done in the settings but selecting a preset must be quick and easy.

Yes, but it seems like you might actually calling a bluezwitch handler and not a true system-wide dbus call? A bit indicative of the same hildon notification banner is used when toggling.

Without bluezwitch installed, the toggle on FriendlyFM doesn't work. Once bluezwitch is there, it does work.

EDIT: I purged bluezwitch and it seems to be working fine now. Ignore me.

Strange. I am using the same calls as Bluezwitch to the system-wide Bluetooth DBus service.

I just checked and I don't have Bluezwitch installed and the button is working.

Maybe uninstall it and see if FFM is still working?

Edit: Fine!

Due to popular demand I will have a look at this. I don't use it myself but instead have a patched version of fmtxd that allows a wider range of frequencies and boosts the power to 120.

Will put this information in the first post.
