Spirit2 Beta:NextGenFMRootOnly v2014_02_10


Spirit2 is the successor to Spirit FM Unlocked. Please note that Spirit1 Unlocked has more features than Spirit2 and it will take me at least a few months to match the Spirit1 feature set.

Spirit2 is in "Beta" or "Early Preview" until at least Jan 15, 2014 so please expect annoying bugs until then. The "In production" estimated date of Jan 1 is pushed back until I can better ensure smooth operation on supported devices.

If you don't know what "root" or "AOSP" mean, this app is not for you.

But if you're rooted, and especially if you're running an AOSP ROM, and can run Spirit Unlocked in digital audio mode, then you're in luck ! :)

Because Spirit2 is the best darn FM radio application ever. Let me know if you think there's a better one, at least forgiving me for some UI and bug/technical issues for now...

Please note that this app reports some information (mostly FM related) to a logging service every 10 minutes. This include a device ID and a once per hour randomized/dithered GPS location guaranteed to be inaccurate by 10-20 kilometres. Paid customers can disable this after 3 days of use and a 2nd licensing validation by tapping the frequency display and entering the number 47.

I promise to not do anything "evil"* with this information.

*Evil defined as whatever a reasonable quorom of Spirit users would deem as inappropriate or excessive.

At this time a2d.fm/Spirit2 only works on these rooted / AOSP devices:

Samsung:
GT-I9000
GT-I9100
GT-I9300
GT-N7000
GT-N7100 (audio low but finally close to balanced)

HTC:
OneX LTE
OneS
Evo 4G LTE

Motorola:
Moto G

The price is a bit higher than Spirit Unlocked. It will be dropped on the 1st day of each month.

These are the first releases and are sure to be buggy. Please understand.

Thanks !
Mike.
