How to enable LG's Quick Remote on custom AOSP-based ROMs?

Devices like LG G2 and G3 are equipped with an IR blaster which is very useful for controlling devices such TVs, projectors, radios, set-top boxes or even air conditioners. Unfortunately, the IR blaster and the QuickRemote app itself worked on the stock ROM (and custom ROMs based on this stock version, such as CandyG3) and if you wanted to flash an AOSP-based ROM, you had to live with the fact that the QuickRemote will not work. Well, not anymore.

The "guys from the XDA", exactly sefnap, RieGo and zzeneg have ported the QuickRemote app for LG G2 and G3 and made it working on all AOSP based ROMs.

The default SELinux policy for android was changed to enforcing mode in Lollipop to increase security. This restricts the functionality of some apps, so for QuickRemote to work we have to change the SELinux policy back to permissive mode until we have a better solution.

Instructions? Classic; just flasth the ZIP. Don't forget to make a backup, or at least download the uninstall version zip (that will remove the mod once flashed).

First make sure the init.d support is enabled, you can use this app.

• Download the ZIPs on XDA

NO ROOT - Disable "Knock Knock" on your LG device and get more battery life!

I was playing with my G3 and discovered a way to disable the Knock Knock feature which helps the user enable the screen without even touching hardware buttons just by double tapping the screen.
I don't use this feature very often, so I decided to disable it. Guess what, my battery life is now more amazing than ever before!

No, you don't need to be rooted to disable the Knock Knock feature. It's pretty easy. All you need to do is to access the hidden menu on your LG device and simply disable it.

To open up the hidden menu, open your Dialer app all input this number (according to your carrier/version):

• 3845#*855# (for International model)
• 3845#*851# (for T-Mobile)
• 3845#*850# (fot AT&T)

While you type the last digit, the hidden menu will appear. What's next? Scroll down till you see the Knock On/off setting and just disable the function. And viola, here you have it!

I was really surprised when I got 70% with my full day of usage on LTE. I usually end my day at about 50% so it seems to pump up the battery life a bit.

Enjoy!
