These kind remotes can be quite different from consumer-electronic 
remote protocols. But we are to find out...

Long story short: irrecord sucks. It was written 20 years ago, and that 
shows. I suggest that you use IrScrutinizer (current version is 1.4.2 
https://github.com/bengtmartensson/harctoolboxbundle/releases/tag/Version-1.4.2 
). It runs on the RPi directly, although slowly, can run on a PC (Linux, 
Windows, Mac) too. Supports the IrDroid (as IrToy) directly.

BTW, as I have said several times in this mailinglist, the IrDroid is 
nothing but a clone of the IrToy, stripped down capacities and 
considerably higher price...

As a last resort, you can cut-n-paste the output of mode2 to the list, 
and we try to interpret it.

Greetz,
