Is there any way to give third party apps access to the ir blaster on the letv 1s?

[AC Question]

is there any way to give third party apps access to the ir blaster on the letv 1s?

apparently the ir blaster can only be used on the stock ir remote app which sucks because it doesnt have any tv's in the US. Is there any way to disable this and make it posible to be used with third party apps by un hiding it or something like that?
thanks in advance.
