[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fxbill:
Saving and reloading configuration

Hi,

Being ignorant to much of what has been going on with this thread I am extremely interested in using this program and understanding it. I have several Fire TVs....actually 4.... Two of them were rooted and loaded by one person who did an excellent job on them with an easy to use interface that's a snap to follow. The unit boots to XBMC but the home button take you to the choice of XBMC or Andriod which takes you to basically a stock Fire unit. The Convergance screen is easy to follow and I love the unit. I've had several others including the Raspberry, another off brand Android and I also have the new Ugoos UT3 with the RK3288 running Mali 764 with 4gigs ram and 32 gigs rom... I'm still working with it, but it looks promising with the exception of NetFlix problems which Ugoos is still addressing.

Anyway...back to my point and questions. My other 2 Fire units were done by someone else and are not easy to navigate at all. You get the basic Fire startup screen and then have to navigate to settings, applications and the scroll down until you finally find XBMC and launch from there.

I installed your program....which looks to be a very nice piece of work...and I'm sure you have many, many hours invested into it...( thank you, by the way)...and it seems to be working fine. I can connect with either unit and verify that updates are disabled and such, but what I'd like to be able to do is download the image file from the unit I like and upload it to the unit that is not to my liking.

I ran the download and it did download all the files...( took about 5 minutes to complete) but I can't find or locate where the image was stored. I've downloaded the image from both units and can't locate either. I'm also not sure it I could even do this! Can I upload the image from the better interface to the bad unit and have it work? Where would I find the image since neither are located in the FTV folder? If I am not able to do this is there a way to put a shortcut to XBMC on the start page of the unit that begins with the standard Fire opening page and if so , how?

Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm trying to have all of these units configured in a similar fashion and simply don't know how. I also apologize for asking ignorant questions within a group that obviously knows so much about this already! I've read and read through threads trying to find answers, but have come up blank. Even putting a simple shortcut on the Fire start page would be fine for my purposes, but I'd really like to find the downloaded image from the better unit and upload it to the others if that's possible.

Thanks for any help anyone might offer!

Well.... I did realize that I'd overlooked on the interface where the backups were stored so I downloaded both of them again and decided I'd go out on a limb and try to load the better file to the other unit. I removed the contents of the Kodi folder and downloaded the better unit once again so that I'd have the backup for both units. The unit was running at the time when I attempted the restore with the better file...( Maybe this is a problem?). In any case.....the program ran all of the files and completed the loading, but after rebooting the unit it was still as it was before uploading the new saved files. Fortunately nothing was harmed and the unit still performs as it first did, but is also just as it was before so nothing has been altered. Did I upload incorrectly or is this something that simply can't be done this easily? If not....I'm still wanting to find a way to put the XBMC shortcut on the opening screen and will live with it as it is.

Update..... After much more reading I did install LLama and create a path to XBMC from an app off the home page. I still need to learn how to change the icon though....and I still wonder how to have a home screen with a dual boot for XBMC and Fire like my other unit has.....until then I can live with the change I made....it did make a great improvement. I read ealier where someone had changed the icon for the Classic TV to XBMC. I did not see anyplace where they said how it was done. Ignore all my ignorant questions unless in fact an entire restore can be loaded to a different unit. I tried, but was unsuccessful!
