Root Lollipop and Qremote

[bg4m3r]

So I backed up the Qremote, Quickset, and Quickset SDK apks before switching to Lollipop (Candy ROM). I was able to install them, and made them system apps, but they crash when I try to open the remote. I didn't see any libraries associated with them, so what else could be missing to get them working?
I pulled them from the odexed ROM.

I know this isn't high priority for a lot of people, but I use the remote daily, so I would like to have it working.

It's more than likely due to the actual infrared device. LG uses a proprietary closed source driver for it, so you're not going to find support in any non stock roms. I'm not sure due to that fact that you would be able to get it to work with any non stock roms. Unless of course someone knew what they were doing and could sit down and write software to support it, but being that the original software is closed source I don't think they would have any where to start.

I forgot about the FM Receiver in this thing.

 

[bg4m3r]

OK, so it's a kernel thing?
That's poopy. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[whoshotjr2006]

I think it also has to do with missing lg strings in libmedia.so. Messing around and replacing libmedia.so with a stock one on cm11 made the app start, but i think i got a bad copy of the qremote apk to begin with. Replacing libmedia comes with the issue also of screwing up audio, so thats not a method we want to use.

If i get a chance soon ill see what strings its griping about when you install qremote on custom roms, and try to see if i cant figure out how to add it to a build.

Would setting them have any negative effects even if it doesn't work?

This might work from Play Store Support for LG G3 still in Beta Smart IR Remote - AnyMote I have it installed on my LG-Volt zv5 stock rooted

 

[Toxus]

It needs kernel support and every installation ZIP I've seen requires /dev/ttyS1 (or S0 can't remember..) chmodded to 666 using an init.d script. I haven't tried those ZIPs on the volt but that seems to be how it works on the G2. Also, you don't need any special things in libraries, it works on AOSP. You just need the G3 Lollipop version (there's a mod for AOSP on XDA.) of QuicksetSDK.apk and QRemote.apk. No other version will work and will crash as they don't support ART.

Mind you, this still needs kernel support for the infrared transmitter.

No other version will work and will crash as they don't support ART.

The version on the Volt supports ART. It was working just fine when I was running KitKat on ART. They might not support Lollipop.

Ah ok, as I said I hadn't tried to get it running much on the volt, I only have experience with installing it on the G2. Glad to see the Volt version supports ART.

Check out my post here, the second one tells you how to install the remote on a non stock rom.

Tried this with our cm12 ROM and I get this error...
I don't see anyway to enable, is there a way, or is this done when the kernel is built?

 

[Toxus]

Check your Settings -> About Phone -> SELinux Status, if it says anything other than Restrictive/Restricted, you should be fine I think. Try using the AOSP CM12 supporting QRemote and see if it works for you. Learning may or may not work, it works on my G2, but only on certain ROMs. On others it will sit there and be like "Oh.. Are you trying to teach me? Yeaaaaa, I can't see that for some reason."

 

[Bad_MOFO_33]

Selinux is dusabled in all builds of cm12 as of now, will release selinux compatible tomorrow(been testing for a day or two before releasing)

Now that SeLinux is in CM12 does this still error out?

The qremote app just fc's on me...I gave up

Question is does this qRemote work with the LG Volt hardware? I don't remember exactly where but I think I remember a thread saying it doesn't play friendly with the G2/G3 software.

IR support is disabled in current kernels for cm12. I can enable it if you want, hopefully it doesnt bork next build

Personally I'm quite content with cm12 the way it is now, it does 98% of what I need it to do and I don't know if stock could be considered that good...it would be cool if it worked though

I would like to see that, if it doesn't cause any undue problems.

FYI IR Support with LG means it does the proper API calls to the hardware, It's different from the way Samsung and most other IR blasters work. So enabling it might not do squat, I think IR support is the last feature we should worry about. I'd rather have bugs ironed out first.
