A known Android firmware tweaker who calls himself “Eugene373” was fiddling about running an LG ROM on his Motorola CLIQ (the US name for the DEXT) and discovered that, with a bit of twiddling, it was possible to convince the CLIQ to use the LG ROM’s radio APK files to boot up an as-yet unused and undocumented FM radio on the Motorola Android phone.
Here’s a photo, as proof, taken from AndroidGuys:
Mr 373 has also posted a direct screenshot of the FM radio app in action via TwitPic, if you want to see it a little sharper. The world of Android development and hacking continues to astound with its creativity on a daily basis!
Motorola’s latest flagship dual-core Android monster is a massive, original powerhouse, that’s a big improvement on previous MOTOBLUR mobiles – but still isn’t a total winner.
A slim and glamorous phone from Sony Ericsson, with the sharpest display around. It’s no powerhouse and the screen’s not the biggest out there, but we don’t mind. Because it’s cute.
LG’s first glasses-free 3D phone is a heavy, fat monster, with a clever 3D effect that works rather well. As a smartphone, though, it’s heavy and underwhelming.
A very shiny thing from Sony Ericsson, with a 3.7″ screen and Android 2.3.3 inside. But is it exciting enough to win fans in today’s spec-obsessed market? Can man live on one core alone?
INQ’s Android phone is an interesting “boutique” piece of hardware, packed with unique interface customisations that go far beyond the headline Facebook integration. We like it a lot.
