Erm not really sure if this would work but can you just install the app again and see if it works?

Yes there is support for it in the latest CM10.2 and CM10.1. You just need to find a compatible app. I use Smart Remote which is a paid app.

In using smart remote it works perfectly

[Q] Alternative IR App

Hello devs. Is anyone aware of any third-party or alternative IR blaster apps for the Xperia ZL? I've been looking for an alternative to the stock remote app, and tested a few third-party solutions like TouchSquid, to no success.
I would like to be able to use the IR blaster with a custom ROM like CyanogenMod, but it's clear that simply installing the stock app won't work because it requires the Sony framework. CyanogenMod is reportedly working on IR blaster support, but I've no idea when that'll be available.
Any ideas?

+1 on this.
I've searched as well and haven't had any luck.
My main gripe is being unable to make a shortcut to the macro's in the sony IR app.
Touchsquid home works well..the only drawback is that it although it automatically adds the remotes configured by the user in the stock remote control app,manually adding the remote by searching the device,brand,different remote control types,etc,etc....can be very challenging ......also the UI of the app takes time to get used to and know how to use it.Also sometimes if u face the no response from your device issue while controlling it from touchsquid,I found a workaround for this,
I.e. -->firstly open the stock remote control app & add the remote according to your device,
-->minimize it (don't close)
-->now (most important step) while opening touchsquid app, cover the IR blaster with your hand
-->then switch on your device with any remote of your device(although it can be done with the stock app,but this is if u face the "no response" thingy )
-->now u can operate ur device
I know that the above steps sound very silly,but I could only make it work ,that way
Also if you want other apps,try dijit app from playstore it's quite a good app with a nice,clean UI
If you feel that I've helped you in anyway, please hit the thank button

Thanks for the response. However, the Touchsquid app cannot work in custom roms because of what you stated -- it requires the stock IR remote app to configure, which does not work in custom roms.
Dijit does not work with the ZL, and requires an external bluetooth IR device, which completely defeats the purpose.
ive seen some ir remote apps in htc one apps section ...give those a try and see .

[Q] IR Blaster doesn't work on CM11

Does anyone know how to enable the IR blaster through CM11?
I was on a stock G3 Rom for my G2 previously, and the IR blaster worked perfectly.
I then went back to CM11 because of boredom and shutter bot wont work with my camera anymore.
I dont care about the TV remote, I just want to use remote shutter for my camera.
Thanks!
And THAT, is one of the many reasons AOSP is pointless on this phone. Sorry that I dont have a solution for you and I hope you find one. But things like that, functions that are found on stock that's not on AOSP, is one of the many reasons stock>>>>>>>>>>AOSP on this phone.

Most stable 7.1.2 ROM for tab s 8.4 LTE (T705)?

I'm looking for a stable rom for my tab s 8.4 LTE. Could anyone recommend me a rom where the camera, sim card/LTE, and phone calls work properly? I'd be really grateful. Also, where can I find a stock Samsung ROM just in case I wanted to go back?
I don't have your SM-T705, but I recently did get a used SM-T700 and immediately installed LineageOS 7.1.2 on it with no regrets.
The only place I could find the OEM ROM was SamMobile. Unless you have unlimited patience, I suggest buying the membership (@ $10) long enough to do a premium download.
I'm on 705 and installed 7.1 LOS the only thing I'm missing is Netflix / Prime Video in HD

Is that because of the LineageOS or because of the Netflix apk? I think I can understand Prime. Amazon doesn't like us Android people. Even though they are one.

It's because it was a challenge to install Netflix (device not supported) once you have your device rooted you also loose the HD capability in Netflix. I haven't found a way to make it work so in the Netflix app the maximum playback quality is sd

Could you link to that ROM? What about LTE, camera, and phone calls? Does it offer voltage control too? I'd like to to optimize the cpu for better performance and less heat.

The LTE works, I've tried it briefly, and I've made a phone call too, that is fine. I haven't tried the camera or looked into anything with changing CPU frequency. I suspect you could do so via via Magisk or similar. The Rom is LOS 14.1 from this forum you can find it in the android development section.
