IR Blaster not working anymore

[DJ_Upgrayedd]

I'm having trouble with my IR blaster after rooting. I didn't put a custom rom on my phone. I literally just rooted and removed bs verizon bloatware. Didn't change any settings and didn't remove any system apps.

The IR blaster was working before root, but now it just doesn't work at all. Is there a fix for this?

yes, but it's complicated

Getting root was the most complicated process that I've run across yet, for our variant, and I've flashed lots of handsets, from lots of carriers.

After I finally got root, I went on to install a custom 5.0 TouchWiz ROM from BigBot96.

I also ran the extreme debloating zip with ADB, from Elliwigy.

From there I just downloaded what I wanted from the Playstore like YouTube, and the Smart Remote from Peel Technologies.

My IR blaster works just fine. I set it up as a remote for the TV here, and the TV at work, I just 'change rooms'.

If you're looking for a diagnosis of your trouble, we need a bit more information.

How exactly did you 'remove bs Verizon bloatware'?

Considering the age of your post, you're probably never going to see this.
