gollark: I was able to find, *somehow*, what looks like the source of the FM radio native code/app from about four years ago on github.
gollark: I think it would be somewhere between "install original ROM's FM radio app as a privileged system app" (fine) and "reverse engineer SoC FM tuner and implement own frontend" (not doing that).
gollark: I wonder how much eldritch horror would be necessary in order to make the FM radio hardware in my phone work on this custom ROM.
gollark: Yes, good ones are antimemetic/nonexistent.
gollark: That never happens, unless it does but that's a lie.
