I have been already looking for this information for a while, but don't manage to make the IR controller work.
I have what I guess it is a clone of a S905W model. It came with whatever android version and I flashed it to atvX with android 7.1.2. When I did it, the IR controller didn't work either. However, after checking the internet, I managed to modify the remote.conf under /system/etc/ to make it work properly.
I got the required codes with the terminal, dmesg and so on.
I have now flashed the atvX with android 9. The IR remote doesn't work again. Again, I check some information online. I see that now the file to change is /vendor/etc/remote.tab1. OK, I modify it with my old remote.conf and I place the old remote.conf into /system/etc/, just to be sure.
I go into the terminal and do:
su
dmesg -c
(I press some button in the remote)
dmesg
In the output I see:
invalid custom 0xf906df00
OK, that is weird. My old factory_code in the remote.conf was 0xdf000001, and those values should apparently match. So I change it to fit in the remote.tab1 file.
Still doesn't work. I check again the dmesg output and still see:
invalid custom 0xf906df00
Even more interesting, if I press the power button in the remote, another "invalid custom" number comes up, which I really don't understand.
The remote controller I have:
Any help would be appreciated. I have been checking this tutorial, but seems complicated to create a .kl file. Plus I don't know if that is even required.
Thank you very much!
