IR Blaster for Cyanogenmod - Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Hi everyone,
I got tired of stock rom so I flashed CM. However, I found out that my remotes don't work. Apparently CM doesn't support the IR blaster on the S4... or am I wrong?
I figured the WatchOn app from Samsung would work, but I had to sideload it since the play store said it was incompatible. Guess what, it works! But the signal recognition is very slow, and I can only get my inputs to work every 20 or 30 seconds. The lag is unbearable.
Anyway, anyone found a way to use the IR blaster with CM in a smooth way?

Try "ASmart Remote - Galaxy/HTC", not sure about CM compatability but it works for me.

Great! Still a couple of seconds of lag, but acceptable. Thank you!

This ASmart Remote IR app v1.4.4 by NXRsoft available on Goole Playstore is the only IR Blaster app that triggers the IR port on my Cyanogen CM13 ROM 11-2-2016 for my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i337 phone. Thanks for the tip.
The Remove ads link in the app is a bad link. Please fix. What is the link supposed to be ?
I wish NXRsoft would add support for ROKU. I am guessing this app is no longer supported as the last release was made Dec 2015.
What did NXRsoft do different in their IR Blaster program that the other big names havent' done to get the S4 IR blaster working? It's something that is being done at the "app level" and is not a limitation imposed by something lacking in the CM13 ROM. Does anyone have insight into this that can explain it to a non-programmer ? Thanks in advance

I tried your IRPlus app v1.8.6. Your app triggers the Ir blaster on my S4 SGH-i337 CM13 ROM phone. Nice work. Your app is 1 of 2 that I have found that work.
The only ROKU device listed is the Roku3. That profile is working on my Roku2 XD.
Your remove ads link is bad in the app. What is the link supposed to be?

Worked for me!

This worked for me on my Sprint S4, CM13. My exact Samsung TV device wasn't listed, but I picked a different Samsung TV and it works fine.

Well, in the first (older) build I had removed a command which may be needed.
May have caused froyo showing video-call options, while they're not supported on it!
Can't confirm this, as I'm not running froyo.
just curious: how did you do this? you can't get source from compiled binary files.. does this program reads these informations from a file in the apk which is separately editable like az xml or something?
great work man, tried on galaxy s 2 and works fine, many thanks!
Yess! Brilliant .. I came on xda to see if any one had ported it for sgs .. And to my surprise I was not dissappointed! Downliading now...

You can decompile an APK and get some byte-code though, then recompile it.

[APP][BETA] Screencast and Screen Recorder Beta

Hi all,
I am looking for beta testers for a screen recording app. It has been tested on a variety of phone models but not this one. If you feel that this is something you may use and would like to join in the beta, please send a private message with the Gmail account you use on your phone. I will upload a youtube video of the app's functionality this weekend.
Thanks.
I sent you pm awhile ago about beta testing. I still down if you need testers.

I do not have any messages in my inbox.. Strange..
In any case, I did not realize that Tegra 2 devices lack NEON support, which ScreenCast heavily depends on. For now Tegra 2 devices cannot be supported.
Thanks.
-- MS
I found the apk in the market by a provided link, but I dont think it's compatible with our phones.

[Q] Screen recording

So, I'm trying to do some video recording, and I've tried multiple apps: Screencast, ShootMe, Z-Screen Recorder Pro, but I seem t have some issues with all:
Screencast - I cant record with High-Res (800x480), only in Normal Res (400x240)
ShootMe - I can only get to 20fps and very low quality (again, at 400x240, though no option for changing it)
Z-Screen Recorder Pro - doesn't work at all
I'm pretty sure most of those things are due to bad coding or they're just not meant for Jelly Bean, but I was wondering - is there any way to hack/fix them? Like modding the settings, or changing the codec to something better...?
My device in particular is a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 running on stock Android 4.1.2.
Any info or suggestions for better recording methods are welcome (except "use a camera pointed at the screen" obviously).

Well, thanks for the info I guess...as a side note I'll give you this advice: enable the Developer Settings, then go down the list and check the "Force GPU Rendering for 2D" (or whatever it was) and "Disable Hardware Overlay"...that generally fixes the issues with the S3.

[Q] Screencast Not Working on Tab 2?

Hey guys, just recieved my tablet in the mail and promptly rooted it. downloaded screencast and when trying to play back a recording its just a black screen with a green stripe. I kind of need this because I run a YouTube channel that depends on screencast so I can do gameplay. I could wait for my GS3 but thats not for another week and a half.
Any insight onto this would help. would changing the build.prop fix this?
Thanks.
I can post screenshots if I need too.
BTW I'm running CM9.
i already opened a topic about this. it's on the 2nd page.
I also need screencast for work. I tried running it on several roms, including CM10.1, sungsonic and an ics based rom. I haven't tried it on stock. I tried with Force GPU rendering ticked and HW overlays disabled and all sorts of other settings combinations but always just the sound works and screen is black. Maybe you can try on stock rom.
Sorry, Like I said I run a YouTube channel so I need to upload videos weekly to the best of my ability.
I looked on your thread and its just page 1/1?

[MOD] Somebody enabled Miracast for Nexus 7

I just found this on GitHub:
Somebody, called Kensuke, enabled Mircast (Streaming screen over WiFi) for the Nexus 7. I don't have mine here so I can't test it.
Maybe somebody can try it out.
It seems that he compiled the complete 4.2.2 ROMs with the addional Miracast Support.
Try it on your own Risk!

Tried the Tilapia package for my 3g. It almost works. I'm going to play with it some more. Documentation for his app would be great. It's not straightforward.

Well this is exciting. Hopefully there's enough demand for it so we won't be limited to just a handful of ROMs to take advantage of this.
I wonder if there is any way a mod like this could be packaged into an Xposed module? Or is it such a fundamental change that it has to be baked into the ROM?
I would test this out if I had a Miracast receiver already. Also I don't want to lose the tethering menu in my current tilapia ROM, so ideally if a ROM had both Miracast & tethering that'd be great.

So you streamed your screen to your TV, no problems at all?
Is it smooth? How much does the Allshare dongle cost, I should get this instead of Android stick PC.

Tried both allshare cast dongle and Android TV stick (dual core rk3066 one), all works. Pretty much the same experience as my Nexus 4 with native wireless display.
With android TV stick, it lags a lot. Definitely not for gaming, no. But with allshare cast dongle, it works much much better..
In my country, the dongle cost me around $80
