Hey there man! Thanks so much for your work! So now that we are up to 4.4.2 stock, is there any chance on an update to this so that we could use the remote on cm? Is there any guidance that you can provide so that one may be able to get it up and running?
Cheers!

I don't think that the android version is the cause of the issues... I think that the IR blaster's code is closed source, therefore, unless someone can reverse engineer the SDK (or something like that), I don't think that there's much that can be done. That's my understanding at least.

It bugs me lol that we can't just grab the apk from the Stock Rom and install it. >.>

Me too. Manufacturers have to make everything more difficult...

It installs properly but doesn't work... Strange since same combination (cm11 + QRemote) works on G Pro...

so for now we do not have any chance to run Qremout on your device with CM11, Yes? or NO

....Same question.

In this topic. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515141. It seems to work with the G2 . I wonder if we can use the same method with our Gpad.

I tried this on my using CM11 several months ago and it did not work. I can try again to see if switching to AOKP and a newer things help at all, but I would be inclined to doubt it.

Hey, i was taking a look at following:

http://developer.lge.com/MOBILE_HEL...tion/Introduction/LG+QRemote+SDK+Overview.htm

Here there is a diagram about how the LG blaster is supposed to work.. Now i think the real "holy grail" about this would be to find out how the actual on/off sequences are sent to the IR-LED...

Ive tried to decompile the Quickset SDK but it seems to be obfuscated.. But i am searching for similarities to Samsung IR.. for instance Samsung does it (better: did it- before 4.4) by using a custom system service: context.getSystemService("irda"); which would then be able to call "write_irsend" with the On/Off sequences in mSec.

We need to search something like this for LG

Unfortunately though the class cant be fully decompiled. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me might also take a look ( dex2jar to QuicksetSDK.apk" . I think the most interesting class is probably under "com.uei.driver"

I dont know why LG makes life so complicated ... isnt their motto Life's good?;/

There is a service for the infrared remote control in the ramdisk, in the file init.awifi.rc. Is that what you mean?

service irrcServer /system/bin/irrcServer
class main
user media
group media
onrestart restart irrcServer

I already tried using that service, copying the binary, a couple of libraries and the app QRemote, but it still didn't work.

I think thats not it. The perfect way would be to avoid using the LG services completely because the dont allow to send custom code (on off patterns). We need to know how the original app communicates with the IR led. I think it is via "serial_port" service ( see the decompiled file). Maybe if i can get hands on a lg device id try to debug into it when sending a code. I only have a Samsung right now

I know it's not working for many etc, but can someone mirror the apk? the link in OP is broken.

so basically, if you want to be able to use the IR on the v500 or v510 GPE as a remote, STICK TO STOCK ROMS? won't work on any other rom but stock LG?

Yes, no solution so far..

Well, to put it in few words..

This sux!

The "only" thing that made me choose this were just so I could control my home theater with the Gpad. Wonder if there ever will be solved.

is there someone who would allow me to profile some calls on the LG device (maybe via teamviewer) - i really would like to figure out how the LG ir-blaster is being talked to.

Or even better - if you know how to do it, just post it here..
interesting threads would be

com.lge.qremote.*
com.uei.*
com.lge.irrc.*

My aim is to avoid the LG api completely and talk directly to the infrared LED - this must work somehow, since at some point even LG has to talk with the hardware without any encryption - meaning they must send a sequence of "on/off" to the IR-LED.

Since LG also did "proguard" their SDK its really hard to find out which function is used when a button is pressed. So my idea was to somehow "capture" the call stack with an actual LG device (i dont have one unfortunately)
