IR Blaster not working anymore - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] 4.4.4 WatchOn IR Support

I performed a clean install of Kangakat KTU84P with no problems on my i337 galaxy s4. In the past, I have been able to get the built in IR blaster to work with the WatchOn app (had to get it from Aptoide since it doesn't appear in the Play Store), but in the most recent build the IR blaster does not work. Is the IR blaster supported in the most recent build? Thanks.
(I can't post in the development thread yet)
Edit: I tried Smart IR Remote, which did work. WatchOn and other apps still do work, even though the IR LED turns on on command. Did the IR protocol change at 4.4.3/4.4.4?

I have not missed root at all

I thought I would, but everything I used to use root for I can do non-rooted now. This has all that I want and more, only a few minor setbacks.
USB OTG for storage, and USB gamepad, keyboards etc...
Wireless HDMI
USB Tethering I use PDA Net
Sideloading applications, provided they are signed, and signing an unsigned application isn't that hard...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I can hide the apps (only drawback) but not uninstall them
I can't load kernel modules
Buttons are hardware so changing them is a non-issue
I can't change the battery icon
In fact up until the Lollipop update, the device has been fast, smooth, stable, and did everything I wanted. I think rooting and romming aside, and of course my next phone will be a developer phone, but I can live without root for a little while, this works well. I am off to the Verizon store to replace this so I can get a working Kit-Kat version, if I can get one without the Verizon trampstamp. If not I will just wait for a fix which will be coming shortly.

But, but, but, you said you had root. Good job in contradicting yourself.

IR blaster ONLY works with Peel

Hi,
I recently got my galaxy s4 and was glad to use the ir blaster feature. It worked really well with peel remote. When I installed other APPS like universal remote and A Smart remote, it didn't work at all. I tried restarting the phone, updating it, reinstalling the app, use other APPS BUT it only and only works with peel.
My brother's note3 worked with all the APPS I had installed on my phone.
Please help. Without this, my s4 seems useless. I guess its not the fault of the APPS, its the problem with my phone or its software.
Help!
Thanks
Usually those apps might be fake or has not supported the galaxy s4

if you installed the apps from play store then it should support your device...use SURE UNIVERSAL REMOTE it works for my s4 i9500

Connecting a dualshock 4 to this phone (LG Stylo 2 Plus)

Hello and good afternoon. I just joined the community to seek for help and to look arround for cool stuff
Well, there is my problem:
I'm looking forward to use my dualshock 4 with my phone, but even if the device connects to it successfully, no input is recognized, this leaving the controller unusable until i disconnect it. No matter how much times i have tried (even with different IME apps) it won't recognize the controller inputs.
Is therd a workarround for this? My previous phone recognizes the controller fine and i have seen other lg phones using a dualshock 4 with no problems
My phone rom is stock (non rooted) running android 6.0.1
Thanks in advance!
As far as I can tell the Sony framework files don't seem to be included in this phone. However if you decide to root magisk seems to be the way to go for you as there is a download module called Sony framework that seems to add the framework files you would need for the duelshock 3 and 4
I don't know what that is.. Lol.. I'm sorry. But I'm sure it's awesome sauce...
You need root and this app:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller
Works perfectly

LG K20+ - Screen Mirroring/Miracast with root?

So I was curious - those of you who have rooted the K20+ are you now able to use Miracast devices? I've gotten my MetroPCS K20+ to work with Chromecast but I need it to work with a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter but LG/MetroPCS both say the phone doesnt support miracast however i did see a post that mentioned rooted it does. This is literally the only thing I need different on my phone. I dont need a custom rom just the cast option. is this doable? or should i not bother? Thanks!
