Hi everybody! I've switched over to CM 10.2 M1 as my daily driver, but I missed being able to change the volume on my tv with my phone. So, I've managed to get the QuickRemote app from the stock ROM working on Cyanogenmod (and hopefully other AOSP roms). There is nothing carrier-specific in this, so it should work on all variants.
Luckily there is no kernel module involved in driving the IR hardware. Instead the IR chip is a black box that is controlled via an internal serial port interface. The QuicksetSDK.apk package includes the code to control the IR chip. It creates a Service that the LGQRemote.apk app binds to to send commands to the IR hardware.
Installation
This will only work on rooted devices.
To get this working you'll need to install two APKs:
QuicksetSDK.apk
LGQRemote.apk
You'll also need to add a script that runs on device boot.
You can download mine here: 10QuickRemote
Or just make one yourself, containing this code:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 666 /dev/ttyHSL1
setprop persist.sys.lge.eula_agreement true
This makes the serial port accessible to non-system processes. On the LG stock rom the QuicksetSDK package runs as the system user, but here we're running it as a normal unprivileged user, so we need to make the serial port world-readable and writable. We also use the 'setprop' command to tell the QuickRemote app that we've agreed to LG's EULA, otherwise it will attempt to launch a non-existent EULA activity and crash.
I'm not 100% sure how the init.d system works on other AOSP roms, but on Cyanogenmod, you can place this script in the /data/local/userinit.d directory (creating the userinit.d directory if necessary). The script should not have an extension, and should be executable.
A quick method that works on CM, assuming you've downloaded my 10QuickRemote script to your current directory:
Code:
adb root
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/local/userinit.d"
adb push 10QuickRemote /data/local/userinit.d
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/userinit.d/10QuickRemote
For the above to work, you'll need to enable root for adb in Settings > Developer Options > Root Access
After a reboot, you should be able to use the QuickRemote app just like on the stock ROM!
If the app crashes right away, or if it launches but won't send any IR commands or learn new ones, your start-up script probably isn't being executed properly. Try running it manually and see if things work:
Code:
adb shell
--- inside adb, as root:
# sh /data/local/userinit.d/10QuickRemote
# ls -l /dev/ttyHSL1
-- result should be:
crw-rw-rw- system system 245, 1 2013-11-06 08:20 ttyHSL1
# getprop persist.sys.lge.eula_agreement
-- result should be:
true
If running it manually works, make sure the script is executable or it won't be called automatically on boot:
Code:
-- inside a root shell
# chmod 755 /data/local/userinit.d/10QuickRemote
If it is executable and still doesn't work after a reboot, and you're running a non-Cyanogen ROM, they probably do init scripts differently. Hopefully you can google up how to make it work
If everything looks correct and it still won't work, send me a logcat and I'll try to figure it out.
Enjoy!

I've been leery of flashing a custom rom for the lack of IR and other features. Plus I'm really digging the stock rom.
But with AOKP coming soon, I am might be tempted. Good to know that the application works with directly with the IR blaster.
I thought AOSP 4.4 was suppose to have support for IR blasters, but it seems noone has them working on CM yet.

The list is actually downloaded by the QuicksetSDK app at runtime. I guess they did it that way so they could add models after shipping the phone.
I hope make flash.zip it is easy
Set this up on my D801, works great! It's a little difficult to navigate sometimes because some of the coloring of menus is designed for the stock rom. It seems to be missing the Comcast cable box settings though, it could be possible the app is different on different phones. Either way I just made it "learn" buttons over my TV remote which works way better than the short while I had it on the stock rom. This is the only feature I miss at all from stock, now my phone has every feature I want!
It's really not difficult to use a little terminal/command prompt, people are scared of putting in commands for some silly reason. If you've used ioroot, you already have adb to use too.
nice job!

did you do a manual installation before flashing the zip?
thank you SO MUCH sefnap! and thank you RieGo for the flashable zip. just flashed on PA 4.3 for D801 and everything is working beautifully.
and as mentioned above- if there's any way you could get the lg camera to work, too, you would be the king. it looks like some sort of progress has been made over in this thread. the AOSP camera works well, but i'd love to have the manual focus option, and so on.
thanks again for adding this great functionality back for us! :good:
Thanks. Flashable zip works perfectly with slimbean on D801. This was the only thing I was missing with AOSP. Thanks again
LG D801 on Slimbean
A camera port with official firmware LG can not? If you can, do it please.
And that zip up to 160 MB? Driver? Replacing the files?

I'm the developer of Quick Boot, and I noticed Quick Boot was not working on Sense UI phones (such as EVO). Quick Boot is an app that will reboot your phone to recovery / bootloader mode or just reboot it normally. I have created a new version of Quick Boot that should work (it works on my I/O EVO 4G), but I would like some forum members to test it out first to make sure it works before pushing it out onto the Android Market.
You can download the fixed version of Quick Boot from here: (SEE BELOW)
Will only work on rooted EVO 4Gs! It does work with UNREVOKED root, because with this new version I have my own reboot binary in the app's files on the data partition, so the system partition does not have to be writeable.
-------
EDIT: New version! This one should work better. The first version only worked the first time you used it! Afterward, the file permissions would be messed up.

Thank you!!
Haha I was wondering why it wasn't working on my evo and only my samsung moment. Good stuff, thanks for the update.
Works perfectly, thank you very much!

If all you're using ROM Manager for is rebooting to recovery, yes. But ROM Manager can do so much more.

thanks so much for this isaac. Also, I have a question. I use a widget called switchpro that has a reboot option. It doesnt work just like the old quickboot wouldnt work. Does this quickboot install files that might make switchpro work again? Or does quickboot keep to itself more or less.
worked great thanks. This doesnt fix the ROM manager reboot option tho.
Great job working perfect here.
This is probably my favorite app of all the ones I use.
Are you now invoking reboot etc by shell commands instead of relying on the reboot file?
I am working on an updater and would love to get this code working and not have to rely on the reboot file.

Here's a working kb that I know works for eclair roms (more specifically, it works for me on Darchdroid 2.7 (an AOSP ROM). If anyone is able to get this to work okay using sense roms, that's great, otherwise, sorry.
Just put the file into u'r c:\ folder and push it via adb
Code:
adb push c:\DroidXIME.apk /system/app/
I just added the 'q-ime.apk' file as well. This file is similar to the DroidXIME.apk file, but, in my opinion, it seems to have better response than the droidxime.apk file. It also fixes a problem with displaying a correct symbol in the characters section of the kb.
Enjoy
I installed it via Astro manager, but even though it shows it's installed, I cannot find any settings to assign it as the default keyboard. Would it have anything to do with it being the latin keyboard? I do see the settings for "multitouch keyboard" but that's it. Also is there any visual difference between this one and the stock keyboard?
It'll look the same or similar to the stock KB. The multitouch is this KB

I didn't want to clutter up the dev thread with these questions, but I've never used any CM build on any phone.
I unzipped Bryan's CM7 build to see what was inside and noticed it didn't seem to have a launcher and didn't seem to have any market app. Ok so does that mean you have to pre install Google apps from the SDcard to be able to access the market?
In reading the instructions, it seems like Bryan's CM7 build uses the same kernel as his regular beta kernel thread but that can't be right, can it, with the discussion on the thread....
I noticed that the Google apps were all modified for CM7, so does that mean that ordinary apps won't work unless they're modified?
Can I still use the TW4 launcher on CM7? Used to it.
The business about USB storage not working in Android. I assume that means you can't put anything on the SDcard using the USB cable after Android has booted up so that you have to push everything on there with ADB, is that it, in recovery mode?
1. It does contain a launcher; Its called ADW Launcher.
2. Yes, you would need to flash the google apps. I use this one
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
and this one http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip
3. You flash the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file then the gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip google talk with video chat support.
4. Its a different kernel. CM7 is using the MTD version. While regular stock roms use BML.
5. I believe you can use the google apps on those files on any rom. But most roms already bring them integrated.
6. Apps developed for use on the Galaxy S phones like TWLauncher et al will not work as they hook onto some samsung specific programming.
7. As mentioned in 6, you cannot use TWLauncher on cm7.
8. Yes you would have to push everything through ADB in the meantime. Pushing/puling through adb does not require rebooting to recovery though.
Can someone make a video on how to install the rom?
Just follow the written instructions on the thread and you'll be fine

But if anyhow, you manage to make some sort of a tar file with your efs files, you should be fine.
After that,
do the erase_image
and mount /efs
and cd /efs
and tar xf anybackupname.tar
you will install. That is if you get your.

My suggestion is to wait until the install procedure is easier.
In the CM7 OP, Bryan said (twice) to re-read OP after updates.
Making a video will give you proper instructions for this build, but if Bryan updates the install procedure users following the video are going to have a mixed bag of results, and possible bricks.

I have a question as well. Yes, I know that this isnt exactly high priority, but I'm wondering if later there will be a build with Wifi calling. I was trying to install it myself, but it kept force closing, and I don't wanna try anything that'll mess up my phone any worse than I have before.
Wifi calling is basically a must for me since I basically live in Smallville, KS. I get little to no service here, and without it, it usually takes forever to get anything. And yes, I've tried every modem I could, KG4 works best, since I can sometimes get one bar.
I'm trying to complain or anything, and I thank Team Acid for bringing us CM7.

Are you on windows? If so open command promt. Cd into the heimdall suite directory. Put your phone in DL mode and connect to usb. From command type "heimdall detect". Should say device detected. Then just put the boot.img in the same directory and follow the OP.

That's just Samsung-specific stuff like TouchWiz that require Samsung's modified frameworks and extra libraries.
Just use FB's install guide instead. I was going to wait until it was installable through CWM, but this is essentially the same thing with a few extra steps.

No problem, bro, that's what I made this thread for. Anyway, thanks for reporting back!
I couldn't remember my unlock pattern. Tried flashing the .zip on my HTC Evo 4G LTE running Dirty Unicorn (based off Paranoid Android) but it didn't work (I'm Rooted, unlocked, S-Off with TWRP installed).
I was able to get in using my Google account after all though. The "forgot password" button didn't show before but it did after I rebooted and tried the pattern unsuccessfully 5 times. It showed up then (maybe the button stops showing AFTER 5 unsuccessful attempts until you reboot?).

Hey folks!
Assuming you forgot the Pattern/Password that you use to secure your phone. Of course,
you could get in using your Gmail account Password...
But what if you don have an account or you forgot the password to that, too???
Here are two possibilities:
.
.
.
B. For everyone without a recovery version installed:
What you need:
-A computer running a Linux distro (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) NOTE: This Guide was written for MINT 14, but it should work on other distros, too.
-a USB cable to connect your phone to the PC
-adb installed (look at quick tutorial below)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Connect you (turned on) Phone to the Computer via USB.
2. Open a terminal window.
3. Type
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
rm *.key
4. Done!
Now you just have to reboot.
NOTE: The Pattern lock will probably still show up, but you can type in anything you want, as it will accept anything!
Please test this on every Android OS, as I have only tested it on GB so far, but, theoretically, it should work on any Android Version & ROM.
I know there are similar threads on xda, but this is the first that offers a tutorial for getting past almost all locks (Password, PIN, Pattern) instead of only he Pattern, and, of course, the first to offer a flashable zip.

You know, it would be great if many people test this. As I have only an x10 mini pro, it's rather hard for me to test this on other devices .

I can confirm that i've tested this (Method B), using ADB in Windows and it worked on my Xperia T (Jellybean, firmware 9.1.A.1.141). Couple of points 'USB debugging' has to be enabled on the phone, had to add a 'su' command before the deletion line.
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
cd data/system
[B]su[/B]
rm *.key
Great

WoW I was looking for this thing and here I am got this one ...
Thankz OP
Tried on Canvas A116, didn't work.
So say I had a att gs4, no root, no recovery. Just stock, would this work?
S-OFF
Boot Unlock (TAKE THAT AT&T!)
TWRP 2.6.3.0
Running something that'll probably change in a few days
for option B the manual is incomplete, missing add that you need to have previously active USB debugging option, if you had not activated, it will not work.

Tried even after activating USB debugging option still not working, I guess not for CHD.

The zip did not work for me on a KitKat 4.4, BUT... I was able to delete the password files in /data/system with "fastboot boot openreco.img"... Luckly I had an unlocked phone. It has a file browser in advanced, came in handy.
Thanks Mate!
Even working on ages old Xperia X10 mini!

Works great on KitKat with TWRP (I didn't try your flashable zip, I just used the terminal built into twrp to run "rm *.key" in /data/system).
Hey all im just curious why nobody is working on roms and such for samsung discover sch-r740c? seems like it should get a little love for our cricket brothers. a couple roms and such would be sweet.

Currently attempting a cw-9/10 port to this device, however; we're still needing a stock rom for it, if you happen to have the phone I would be more than willing to help walk you trough data dumps of the systems primary partitions recovery/modem/system/boot.
This is important to have a 'default return to' unfortunately I'm unable to use my phone as a stock image as I heavily modified the system partition shortly after rooting the device thinking there would be roms forthcoming soon..
Note to self: in the future always always always get a stock restore FIRST!

Samsung r740c img dump - Howto
- Check samsung settings > about phone - baseband version and build number should end in r740CVV???? and should match, also check for kernel version 4.1.2
- Enabled USB debugging on the phone (system settings > developer options)
- Install Samsung USB driver pack(http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201211/20121129051929115/Samsung_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.14.0.exe)
- Install UnlockRoot Pro (free version - http://downloadcdn.betterinstaller.com/installers/9/9/UnlockRoot_downloader_by_UnlockRoot.exe)
(read everthing and and 'skip' the unwanted software)
- Plug phone into PC and get past lock screen if enabled
- Open UnlockRoot and click "Root"
(skip unwanted software(apps) again)
- download ADB create a directory either on the desktop or c:\ for easy access I suggest c:\sch-r740c
- extract the files of sch-r740.zip into the folder
- click start and search for cmd
- right click cmd.exe run as administrator
- at the command window execute the following commands.
cd c:\sch-r740c
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/mnt/extSdCard/recovery.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 of=/mnt/extSdCard/boot.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/mnt/extSdCard/modem.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 of=/mnt/extSdCard/system.img bs=4096
exit
exit
adb pull /mnt/extSdCard/recovery.img ./recovery.img
adb pull /mnt/extSdCard/boot.img ./boot.img
adb pull /mnt/extSdCard/modem.img ./modem.img
adb pull /mnt/extSdCard/system.img ./system.img

note these commands may take a while to process
when your done, you can zip and upload the files to an upload service, or Google drive and share them.
I'll create an odin recovery
Hello no need for you to pull flash files from your device, I've finally been able to restore my phone to stock 4.1.2 through a somewhat convoluted process so I'll now be able to create a stock restore

Thank you sorry I had some family issues or I would have been quick on it plus couldn't log in for a day hmm anyway last night there was an ota update seemed the size of whole os is there somewhere in root files or elsewhere we can extract this? And if so would it help us in anyway I would like to start working on learning more and helping teams build custom ROMs and seems like this might help.

No worries, first off check your build number if it end in I1 or F1 we have that update already saved and uploaded to shared services, if you are VVBNA5 you have a new update we have not seen yet.
In any case, install OTA rootkeeper available on market or you will loose root, and have to odin flash (custom) to re-root.
Also, updates can be found at /cache/FOTA/update.zip
local caches up updates can help developers fiddle with multiple versions of the OS without relying on updates via OTA updates. or backups etc.
So far, all the patches that have come out for this device are 'patch based' only IE not much help other than to allow people to download the update manually, or for devs to check out potential 'mods' against multiple versions.
