1. Backup

fmtxd1.3
from
http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD1.3

Now you have file named "/usr/sbin/fmtxd" but originating from jacekowski instead of Nokia.

3. In X Terminal (as root?)
chmod +x /usr/sbin/fmtxd
so that this file could be executed

4. Start Media Player, some song in it, and in menu choose FM Transmitter.
First, try transmitting on normal frequencies.
If it doesn't work, reboot.
If it works, try going to lower frequencies.

5. Probably, you will need to install FM Faker application after that.
You pretty much got it.

After downloading Jace's FMTXD1.3 file from the links provided, place it in the MyDocs directory on the N900.

For the uninitiated perhaps a little more detail can be added...

...like the xTerm commands @ root to make a backup of:
/usr/sbin/fmtxd and adding an extension like .old to it.

(I will add this to this post when I find it or others provide it. )


Once that is done, rename Jace's file to fmtxd. You can do that using the N900's file manager.


Once that is done an xTerm command @ root can be used to move this renamed file to /usr/sbin/

(I will add this to this post when I find it or others provide it. )


After that is done then an xTerm command can be used to enable this new file...

I use chmod 755 and am not familiar with Wikiwide's chmod +x command.

(I will add what's determined to be the best way to this post when I find it or others provide it. )


If the FM transmitter is not enabled by default on your N900 you will pro'ly have to use FM Faker and that's no big deal. You can remove it later...
