If I were to upload the OS on my N800 from 2007 to 2008, would I still be able to use the FM radio offline?

ehm sorry for the newbie question, but with Diablo I cannot really install the fm radio...AppMan says there are incompatibilities...?
What can I do?

I think I saw fmradio in the Diablo repository applications list. I haven't tried it out, though, since I use MediaBox for the FM radio. Did you add a Chinook repository in the Application Manager? That could be a source of conflict.

Btw:
The FM radio is a standard V4L device (V4L=Video for Linux, a kernel interface for controlling TV and FM radio boards) on the N800 and I really wonder why there exist only 2 applications for controlling it.
There's even a Python module available for controlling the FM radio.

FM Radio is installable directly from the default Diablo repositories...at least it's how I installed it a few weeks ago...

I tried the xmms v4l plugin and pointed it to /dev/radio0 and could never get it to work.

The Nokia fmradio app messes up connections to bluetooth headsets so I just install the nokia fmradio, use it to download my channel lists for the UK and then edit the prerm in /var/lib/dpkg/info/fmradio.prerm and remove the gconftool line. Then I remove fmradio and install mediabox. And then I can use the radio brilliantly through mediabox with the channel lists.

fmradio is in the diablo repos:

Just out of interest: does this work together with the bluetooth headsets then, when using MediaBox?
