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

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

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 .
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.
Do any of the custom roms available have support for the ir blaster on the T700 for use with an app like Peel Smart Remote?
Hey all
Couldn't find my TV brand in any app so I downloaded anymore to add the remote manually (self learning)
And I got a message saying my phone doesn't support ir commend learning and that it's an hardware problem that cannot be resolved through software.
Any way to fix this.?
Tnx
dont think it have this feature like the lg v20
why the blaster is work twice whit one touch ?
i touch one time a bottom but it work 2 time
Yes, the phone doesn't have an IR receiver that would be necessary for IR code learning, only an IR blaster. So... If the stock app didn't have your TV... You should look for a 3rd party app that might.
i love the lg v20 so much... so sad have to let it go... the remote learning was one of the best feature including the quad dac audio
