does anyone use an aosp or cm based rom and use an app for the IR blaster? i tried a couple of 3rd party apps with my g2 and they were less than impressive. are there any for the g3 that work well?
I use this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146. If you don't see any manufacturers listed once you install the app, you have to check the troubleshooting section in the OP for the fix.

Does anybody know if the IR blaster on the LG G3 will be open to third party apps or will it be like the G2.

I want to know this as well. I asked LG in Twitter but obviously no reply.
3rd Party Apps Support
I hate to resurrect a dead thread, but I am curious about this too. Are the drivers for the IR blaster locked down in the G3, or does it work with third party apps?
If someone who got the phone could test a few third party apps I would appreciate the favor.
Was gonna test this for you but couldn't find a decent free one. Why not use the stock remote? Pretty cool having it in the notif menu.

Nice to have options but also for AOSP.
Has anyone tried Smart IR Remote or something like that?

G3 works fine with Smart IR Remote. If you don't like it or something doesn't work as expected, just email [email protected] and you'll get a refund within 30 days.
Hi after using this phone for nearly 3 months I'm in love with the stock apps that lg have.
Will these apps still be installable on aosp?
If you manage to port them or if there are no dependencies, then they will work.

99.9% - No. Only specially hacked versions will be installable, and they will be bugged. Unfortunately, they require entire LG framework in order to function - qslide framework, double window framework, Quick Remote framework, QCircle framework...
Guess I'm going to stick to the lg software then.
I hate the aosp dialers.
Not bothered about qslide double Windows qcircle
Just messaging and dialers qmemo
going to look into upgrading to th s3v3n android hd mod and see how that pans out
I haven't tried any AOSP roms on my D851 yet, I actually find the LG apps like Dual Window and Quick Memo quite useful? Can I install these on AOSP, or do I need the LG frameworks for them to work? Can anyone offer alternatives to these apps?
Nope, not possible
Which L ROM includes the IR feature?
Currently on 4.4.2 and haven't touched my tablet in a year.
None, unfortunately. So your choices are staying on stock or flashing another ROM and losing the IR blaster.

Not even a third party app?

Third party apps are currently unable to make use of whatever chip gives IR functionality on the GPAD V500. On a side note It is amazing how badly gimped the remote app on the tablet is versus on my G3 phone...
It's been awhile but I believe the port of the Quick Remote app you can find in the G2 and G3 sections worked under CM11 on my VK810.4G, so maybe it would work under CM12, also. I know it worked under stock LG Android on the VK810.4G, and also on CM11 and CM12 on the G3.

So i am switching from my 2 year old meizu m2 note to mi a1 and i have some questions. I am familiar with stock android because i have the pixel c tablet but i know that xiaomi included some of its apps. Is it possible to find a similiar app lock like meizu's or xiaomi's(i know that they are built in the skin(MUI, Flyme)) and meizu's vault(secure folder) part? Thanks
You can use third party apps for the same functions.. thats how it is with stock android, u have to use 3rd oarty apps for most functions that r present on non-stock roms.
For app lock i recommend this app

I found it to be reliable and quite fast on my athene as well as tissot.
As for the secret vault i don't use it but have used this app in the past without many issues and it is also probably the most popular
