Advanced IR Remote App for Flipper Device

Idea

With the current infrared application, users must navigate through the menu to locate each button individually. This requires scrolling to the desired button and selecting it, which can be uncomfortable. The idea behind XRemote is that all physical buttons are pre-mapped to specific category buttons, and pressing a physical button directly sends an infrared signal. This allows the flipper device to be used as a remote rather than as a tool that has a remote.

XRemote also introduces a more user-friendly learning approach. Instead of having to manually name each button on the flipper when cloning a remote, the learning tool informs you upfront which buttons it will record. All you need to do is press the corresponding button on your existing remote, eliminating the need to name them individually.

The application is compatible with standard .ir files. However, to ensure functionality, names within these files must align with the predefined naming scheme. If the button is not highlighted when pressed or the notification LED does not light up, the button with the appropriate name cannot be found in the file.
