I find the only app in F-droid very lacking, and the couple I tested from the PlayStore lacked many of the technically available controls you can see on IRDB, Global Cache, JP1, etc.

I am seriously surprised there is no open source Android IR remote app that can truly put everything to shame, given that the info is out there. I may contact a friend of mine for a new Android app…

  • @Riven Probably phones without headphone jacks are those that can no longer be used as regular FM radios - as the antenna was actually the headset (at least that’s my experience) - and another reason why phones without the jack suck. Never had a phone with a built-in FM antenna FWIW.

    But yea, I do get your point. Phones could do so much more than accessing Facebook, Instagram and posting photos there or something like that.

      Not just those, iirc it’s some sort of chip that is no longer put into phones cause of money reasons. I’ve only owned phones with a jack slot and my current phone doesn’t have fm capabilities, I’ve checked.
