Then it will work

Otherwise just Edit the file and change the region to 4.

I want to make it easier for people to do so I upload the file instead. But if you are confident with manually editing the file then you can
Make sure your FM-Transmitter is off and there process is not running.

Do it by Commandline.
From Xterminal:

root
killall fmtxd
killall fmtxd "just to double check"
cd /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-2/2-0063

if you have leaf pad then do this:

leafpad region

replace the number in the file from 2 to 4.

Save and exit.

Enjoy!

Now the FM transmitter can be disable or enable, change down and change up freely without having to see "Unable to use FM transmitter" message when you changing from 87.5Mhz to below 87.4Mhz.

Solution hacked is very simple.
How did I not think of that, took me all night tried to reduce the minimum frequency to hack the system file. But no luck. I had to read through the Developer documentation of the hardware and software to find out how the damn thing works.

Now That I found the way to do it, I'm going to share with you all. ENJOY THE FREEDOM!

Here is the file, simply follow the folder structure and replace the file inside the zip file with the system file. Then you're all set.

I don't go below the standard frequencies because of the limitations of my home FM receivers. I have a large piece of art hanging on a central wall of my house. Behind it I built a simple 2 wire dipole antenna that all three of my household receivers share.

With the N900 rockin' at 120 the upstairs, downstairs, and patio stereo's can pick up the N900's signal no matter where I'm at in the house. However, I usually leave it plugged into the charger downstairs right next to the antenna.

I now have a use for my N800 (upstairs) and N810 (patio) as N900 clients.

Did I say "What a life"?

Oh, I almost forgot:

If I understand you correctly, there should be no need for FM Faker unless you are using a firmware that doesn't support FMTX. Is this correct?

Things will be just fine.

1. Uninstalled everything related to FMTX
2. if you get the "Unable to use fm transmitter"

Xterminal: root

killall fmtxd
killall fmtxd

Now you should be able to disable the FM Transmitter.
Disable it and then enable it at 76.0

Go to Xterminal:
killall fmtxd

Go to App manager -> FMTX FAker

Xterminal: reboot

Enable FM Transmitter at 87.5, then change it to 88.5 -> 107.9Mhz
This just to make sure you can go UP! now change back from 107.9Mhz ->all the way down to 87.5Mhz
If you change change it to 87.5 then you're doing fine.

Now change from 87.5 to 87.4Mhz, you'll get the error "unable to use FM Transmitter", Change it back to 87.6 and if you can then this meant you are ready for the next step Limitation removal.
