As IR remote controls go, especially android remote controls, you'll never find one better!
Smart IR Remote is a: Galaxy S4 remote, HTC One remote, Galaxy Note remote (all with IR Blaster), Galaxy Tab remote (all with IR Blaster), Galaxy S4 Mini remote, Galaxy Mega remote
Smart IR Remote is an universal remote control app that can command almost anything that receives InfraRed commands, like a TV, Set Top Box (cable and sattelite box), DVD, BluRay player, VCR, Amplifier, Air Conditioner, AV Receiver, Switcher, DSLR camera, etc. Better yet, you can combine your remotes into smart remotes (activities) so that on your custom remote you'll have the volume buttons control your surround system, the channel buttons to control your set top box and the display buttons to control your TV. It's the only Android universal tv remote that can do that, while controlling any other device too!
Through the use of internal IR drivers(root), Smart IR Remote also works on most custom ROMs like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, basic AOSP, AOKP, etc.
