I installed LineageOS on my Samsung device, and there doesn't seem to be a radio app. I have access to an identical device which is running the stock OS. I extracted the radio app on the other device (with App Manager) but cannot install it (unavailable shared library com.samsung.device). (Galaxy A21s, Exynos.) How can I listen to the radio on this device?

Get the app Radio Garden. Gives you access to almost every radio station in the world, but uses streaming

This does not look to be free software. Where is the source code? I found a page on google play store that says "contains ads."

It is not FOSS, but it is usable as a webpage instead of an app. https://radio.garden/

Are there ads on the webpage too? Who knows, that's what adblock is for.

Putting a proprietary app into a web page doesn't make it not proprietary. And, if it's using some web server to replace the built in radio, it may be Service as a Software Substitute too.

No, I don't believe this is an open source project. But I'm not aware of any alternatives. I can't remember seeing an ad in the UI any time I've used it. Maybe a tiny banner ad if ever. But terrestrial radio stations all have ads embedded, so even an open solution would technically have ads
