S4 IR Blaster App

Hi lads,
The standard IR blaster app has become a frustration for me as it keeps asking me to set a region and set up TV channels - which is irrelevant for me. I need to use the IR blaster a few TVs at work and the projector(s)
I do not need all the TV channel functions. Just want to set up different rooms, something like the below:
-Meeting Room 1 (Samsung TV)
-Meeting Room 2 (Sony TV)
-Meeting Room 3 (Projector)
Is there another app on the market that uses the standard IR blaster as a remote without all the extra tv channel functions? Perhaps my understanding of the standard app isn't quite there...
Thanks

I solved this by not picking any of the regions/countries in the list, clear the data and try the same.
When the region picker appears just look for "unlisted" or "none of the above", cant remember exactly what it said.

Slide Aside, Q Slide and q memo. Good work LG!

Hello guys! The first thing that positively surprised me the first time I used my gpad was the improvement given by LG software.
In particular Slide Aside(too freeze an app) Q Slide (kind of multi windows experience) and quick memo are very good. How can I the same feature on other devices (like my galaxy s4, where samsung software are only garbage).
Any third part software?
Thanks

I don't know... I personally find slide aside and qslide kind of worthless. What I find useful is the built in samba server over wifi - now that's useful.

not all the program have a real resume function, so I need to find something similar for my smart phone. It's all depending on a how you use the phone

I guess I'm not clear how using qslide is all that much different than holding home and switching tasks that way. I mean I guess qslide may prevent the garbage collector from killing an app before you are ready... but I've never seen that be an issue in any practical use since it doesn't clean up right away.
Now, one thing that I stumbled upon today that is really nice is when you copy text, a widget comes out with all of your recent copy's! Now That is Really Handy! Now, how to get back to it once it disappears...

I didn't know about the samba server. How do you make use of it?

Go to Settings, under Wireless Networks, choose More... and enable Wireless storage. And yes, it rocks.

Guess it's just on the stock rom. I'm using mahdi-rom and its not an option. Guess I could install am app to that, if I need it.

I'm sure there are decent apps out there, I was just impressed that LG would include something so useful that does require some technical knowledge. It requires you to \\<ip> and login with a provided username/pw.

Anywhere that you're going to enter text, press and hold the screen. There will be two options, Paste, or Clip Tray. Clip Tray will get you everything you've copied.
It also comes up in a menu when you highlight a word, for example when copying, it should give an option for Clip Tray as well

I found what you mean with the Clip Tray. That'll work. Thanks!

See please
Hello to all! Do you know any apk (module) that is the same the QSlide of LG G Pad?

What do you want in a ROM? (Things we don't have)

So I'm thinking of getting back into development (I last did development for the Droid 3 and Droid Bionic), and I'm one to make my own standalone ROM to share with everyone.
Here's where I need your suggestions: What do we have in our ROMs already that can be improved, and what do we not have in the ROMs we have that you want? It can range from theming to mods to just anything.
This would help me greatly in making my decision to start developing again or not.
Thanks.

Right now the only thing I really want is a nice dark ICS/Holo theme for NC2.

That would be amazing.

Smart lockscreen: enable/disable based on location (home/work) or time of day, integrated directly into ROM.
Native reverse tethering support
Mass storage mode
Multiwindow/halo windows
Unlimited OTG
Programatically changeable lockscreen (thru Tasker w/ api or shell)
That's all I can think of on the spot.

Perhaps some kind ultra debloat ROM? Like an Anti Goog, Anti VZW, anti Sammy ROM.
Their functionality could be added afterwards as desired. First thing I do after installing a ROM is freeze 100 plus items (even on a debloated ROM.)

I can help you with an ultra debloat ROM if you would would like to test what I have developed. I took the stock Kitkat ROM and debloated it down to less that 600MB. I have tested it for a few days now and everything is working perfectly but I want a few more testers.

-Tablet Mode
-LED Control based on notification type
-Navbar/Navigation Bar customization to add more buttons to custom apps
-Recent apps in a different view, i think it's called "tiled" where you can see more at once horizontally, rather than vertically
-Double tap the "action bar" of any app to make it a floating window, and double tap it again to "maximize" the app...similar to MS Windows

Ok google functions from the moto x (not the google experience launcher ones) on the fly themeing for everything ocons status bar colors toggle colors ect...

Interesting. I have been pretty busy and have been running the original firmware and Beans version 2.
Hopefully I will get around to checking out the Kitkat release soon.
I wonder if there could be a tool or Mod that could be a bloat configurator that would work on a ROM like Beans or Hyper drive or stock.
Maybe it is a superior solution to cook a dedicated debloat ROM instead of some script that is too difficult to make work with other ROMs?

Debloated aosp style or cyanogenmod

one thing that's importnat is having the security for exchange email bypassed. i have no need for mandatory password on my phone just for my corporate email.

Languages
my problem with Verizon's based room is that they don't enable more languages like french.

USB 3 without forcing wifi mode if thats possible? My only complaint on nc2 is the radio which i will fix tonight, and the fact the notification bar is forced to have those horrible widgets, i want stock KK notification bar

Nice thread. I'll keep an eye out.

I also think some more intuitive lockscreen widgets would be nice; quick Google-search widget, minimalistic text weather widget, iPhone-like text/notification previews (possible with Tasker btw) customizable to just sms sender or parent application (currently developing myself also), and BIGGEST THING:
BIGGEST ROM FEATURE REQUEST: along with remote lock/remote wipe, have a remote BRICK! This will guaranteed protect your sensitive data and render the phone useless to thief! Topping the ice cream: along with wiping bootloader, replace with homebrew one with NO download/fastboot mode, just on-screen derogatory message and maybe a contact number. HA!

I second the mass storage mode...biggest thing driving me nuts and makes me hate this phone

What about having another row of lockscreen shortcuts (10). Sometimes I find myself wishing I would have put something else in there.

I would like to see a 4.4.2 rom that roms like cleanrom which leaves all the good s-pen features intact and is fast and stable TW.

App or functionality list that dont require root anymore!!

We can all benefit from a thread like this to supplement our need for root or for those that don't want to root but want some root functions. The 2 listed below don't require root anymore and I use then on a daily basis.
If you have an app that you can share please list it and add a little description of use or configuration needed.
1) I'm running Automatic call record. This even works better that the rooted version that ran in Xposed module.
2) pie controls, this is a simpler version that the LMT launcher that required root. This gives me all home buttons and any app at thumb level on both sides.
What other apps or functions are you running on your LG G4 that do not require root anymore?

Automatic call record records all you phone calls in 1 of 3 ways. once the call is done you can add notes to the call if you want.
1st way is to recored all phone calls
2Nd way is to only record numbers who are in your contacts only
3Rd way to record is to record all calls from numbers that are not in your contacts... New numbers.
Usefull app as I use for my business when taking orders.
Hope this helps.

There are a lot apps by that name. I tried the first 1 but it didn't work. Who created the app? Thanks

its called Automatic Call Recorder by Appliqato..

I have found that SMS Backup & Restore (Ritesh Sahu) works without Root (maybe it always did, just assumed it wouldn't).
I use this app to daily backup all my texts and multimedia messages (inc. cloud backup) and was very happy to find that i was able to restore all my messages from my G2 on to my G4

All in one gestures

I use wave launcher so I can have easy access for most used app quickly from any screen it helps to be able to launch camera quickly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobilemerit.wavelauncher

Best infrared app - Because the built in one sucks

Hi, i was happy when found out that Honor 8 has built in IR, afret using a built in app i wasn't happy
The built in app i very poor and doesn't work with most of my stuff or works with some functions only.
I tried:
Anymote - turns out it works really good, just make sure too find a good model of your equipement.
I bought paid non ad version, it might take some time to customize your remote to work like you want it, but in my opinion it's worth a while
Peel Smart Remote - thats a NO GO - none of remotes worked
ASmart Remote IR - didn't work too
Smart Remote IR - same here
Hope someone will find it useful
Paid Anymote Version Link <-- The one i tested
Free Anymote Version Link <-- This should work too

Sure app seems to work. Although I have to maneuver more with my phone then I did with my S6.

Thanks for the advice. Gonny try out Anymote. The built-in is a BIG disapointment. Just not enough device support in it. Im coming from a LG G4 and their "Smart Remote" is miles better than Huaweis. LG's app managed to controll All my devices, from tv to reciever and projector. With Huaweis I'm glad if I can turn off a tv.

It will be helpful since I lost the remote oc the TV

Peel remote now works awesome with honor 8!

Never had a single problem with the built-in.

EMUI remote works great on LG tv.

Lots of brands actually.

I don't recognize the problem with the built-in one. You can even program single buttons by blasting your phone's IR with the original remote.

With the built in app I was not able to connect to my home theater receiver..

Have you tried any IR app with learning ability, like Unified Remote?
