...Optionally you can change fm-boost to switch frequency every time by adding the above command in the file /sbin/fm-boost. Make sure you insert it after the "#!/bin/sh" and before "exit 0"

Here is an example of mine:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/bin/echo 120 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063/power_level
/usr/share/lfocus/v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 -f 87.5
exit 0

Have fun!

It seems that the car cigarette charger is affecting the performance of the FM transmitter. Is there a specific type of charger that can be purchased that doesn't produce this sort of scenario?

first of all thanks for this thread, really helped me out to get normal sound out of my speakers in my car!

Secondly, I've tried to edit the fm-boost file to make it set the frequency to 87.5 automatically, but that didn't work for me. Now I've made 2 files, to start everything automatically;

- setfmfreq.desktop file inside /usr/share/applications/hildon for starting it via one single click. Content of that file is:



- StartFM.sh inside /home/user which contains:



I've created this to make everything set for 87.5( since I'm on the road alot that's the only frequency I can really use ). Now is my problem that I also want to start the mediaplayer and play a song automatically as well. When I try to start the media player via xterminal/script it just never comes up( only comes up when I press on "Mediaplayer" on my desktop or inside my menu for some reason ). Does anyone have experience with this?

I was expecting to find two FM Boost icons in my application manager. One for "FM Boost" proper and one for your "Set Frequency" or "StartFM".

Am I warm?

I only have the original FM Boost app showing and it behaves as it always did.

I know I'm slow like that so please straighten me out.
