My N6 is rooted and I used Solid Explorer to change the line to ro.build.type=userdebug, saved the build.prop, rebooted, and when I go into the developer options the switch is there, but when I enable it I do not see the box appear in the recents menu. I even tried adding the line persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true and I still don't see the boxes in the recents menu. I'm sure the build.prop is retaining the correct permissions as the file stays modified after reboots. What gives? Running Cataclysm mod.

Not working! Help?

I'm trying the build prop editor app on my rooted Nexus 6P. I'm able to change ro.build.type to "userdebug" and save it that way, but once I reboot I don't see multi window in developer options. Furthermore, when I check build prop editor again, it's changed back to just "user" again. What's going on?

Having an issue on my device which is a nexus 6 (motorola) running the latest version of marshmallow

6.0.1 (MMB29X)	Link	a64337b3a94facf517070f462d4b2f94	ef4cbb7543be7132b6a565a16f71f97240a718e9

I also have the latest 3.2 version of twrp and the latest SUbeta

When I try to edit build.prop via root explorer, or with the build.prop editor app from the play store. Once I save the changes to build.prop, in the system folder I can see build.prop. bak which is the original file. I see the new build.prop file I saved however its 0KB in size. I did mount the folder as RW so I should have no issue modifying the file. Once I reboot the phone it gets stuck at the loading screen and wont proceed any further presumably because build.prop is missing all of its data.

I tried the adb pull\push method while in recovery, when I go to push the file back to system I get an error that "there isnt enough free space" in the system folder, which is obviously not true, and again the phone wont boot because build.prop is missing.

I cant seem to modify this file at all what so ever on my device without it causing issues at boot. Any ideas?
[Android General] Quinny899:
It's probably true that your system is full. The editor app will first rename the old build.prop, which will leave you with 0KB space left, and then attempt (and fail) to make a new file with the new contents.

Delete some system apps you don't need and then do it

[Android General] chrisssj2:
I wish to switchlive on the fly playing 2 games like this, so I can efficiently multi-task.

However, this multi window feature is only keeping one screen active, putting the other one in a sort of sleep mode.

Which makes multi tasking a drag because it takes for some delay for the app to re-init. (Nvidia Shield K1) + the inactive app's graphics is put on "freeze"

I play games which require farming.. and if the screen goes inactive it goes on pause, making any multi tasking practically useless.

Is there an app, hack, config or some way to make this so both are active?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33H:
Can anyone tell me an easy way of copying my Kodi setup between several FTV sticks? I have one setup up with all repos and addons to my liking and want to copy this to a few others that family have bought. I don't want to have to manually add repos and addons for each individual device. I have installed Kodi backup application and backed my own up to the device under /storage/emulated/0/download (from memory may not be correct). Can i use ADB pull to my PC and then push this onto the other FTVs? I haven't much experience of ADB other that installing apps with it. Or if anyone has any easier ways or suggestions i'd be grateful.

Thanks.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
/storage/emulated/0/ = /sdcard/

Its just easier to type in /sdcard/ each time, instead of the full filepath. :)

-

Yes - its entirely possible, in fact its the way I also like to handle backing up and duplicating a Kodi installation.

All you need to do is

adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/ /PATH OF YOUR FOLDER ON THE LOCAL COMPUTER/

then adb push the same folder to another Fire TV (Stick), after you've installed Kodi there (adb install /PATH TO THE APK ON YOUR COMPUTER.apk) and started it once, then exited it - then:

adb push /PATH OF YOUR FOLDER ON THE LOCAL COMPUTER/ /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/

Thats it. .kodi is a hidden folder on the device (thats what the . stands for), thats about all.

An easy way to browse the Fire TV (Stick) over ADB on Windows is

Total Commander with the ADB filesystem addon: http://totalcmd.net/plugring/android_adb.html

If you use adbfire just hit backup(put the backup where you can find it again) and when it's done connect adbfire to the new fire stick and click restore and navigate to where you saved the backup, pretty simple
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harlekinrains:
Yes and you have not even learn anything about Android file structure, because navigating through folders hurts peoples brains. Instead you'll learn how to push several buttons and put numbers into fields. You know, like in your dayjob (*sarc*). Thats fun.

Also - during the pull operation adb Fire performs, you'll see a nice infinite loop of a fake progression bar - while if you'd be using the real adb you'll see the files actually copying over. Fake progression bar gifs are much more pleasent to look at. They give you a sense of excitement - in not knowing if something is happening, or not.

I say - make everything a person knows as abstract as possible. As far removed from the real thing as it can be. It causes less thoughts. And therefore - less problems in the long run...

I hate this dependency on ADB Fire appraoch. Did so from the very beginning. The program is harshly laid out, end prevents people from gaining any below surface knowledge - its just recommended so much, because people have a hard time typing. I'm not against good GUI's in fact, I prefer them in almost all cases - but ADB Fire and its rivals are just a buttondump fest to prevent real learning.

When replicating an entire FIre TV (Stick) plain adb actually turns out to be faster, and more forward with the information it gives back to you. Because adb install *dragdroptheapk* turns out to be faster than installing apks through ADB fire. But then again - buttons are so likeable.

--

Also - before using adbFire or adb to do a backup - you could use texturecache.py ( http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=158373 ) to prune ( P ) your Kodi installation, which would delete unnecessary thumbnails that have accumulated in Kodis cache over the time. This will reduce the time the backup takes, as less files are copied over.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33H:
Thanks guys. I've never had any luck with the adb tool. It wouldn't ever work for me. Adb push/pull seems straight forward enough I'll try it out.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aiadi:
What I do all the time with all my android devices including Fire TV is use 'ES FILE EXPLORER' to copy the folder 'org.xbmc.kodi' from original device (location: Android/data) onto a shared folder on my network and then copy it from there (using the same ES file explorer on the other devices) back again onto the same location of the receiving device. Works perfectly every time.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusChicken:
Quick question, how is this any different from the "Backup" addon that is used on Kodi? What I usually do is load everything like normal, then when I have my setup just how I want, I go to the "backup" addon, backup all of my info, and then copy it to a flash drive. Once copied, I install Kodi on other Fire TV's and then copy over the backup onto them, load the addon, and click "restore". And boom bada bing, I have everything just like my original Fire TV. EXCEPT, for a few things like skin settings, like widgets, and RSS feeds, and subtitle options.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porkenhimer:
The easiest way to do it is to copy the addons folder and your user data folder to you PC using ES Fle Explorer. install any varient of XBMC/Kodi on the other Fire TV sticks and open XBMC/Kodi one time so that it sets up the data folder contained inside Android/data. So this is basically all you need to do

1)Install XBMC/Kodi on all your devices and open one time.

2)Install Filezilla on your PC and ES File Explorer on all of your devices.

3)Open ES File Explorer on the device that already has Kodi setup, and go to the Network tab and click on remote manager and turn it on

4)Now type in the IP address and port into Filezilla that it shows on ES File Explorer and navigate to Android/data and find the data folder for your version of Kodi.

5)Once there simply copy over the addons folder and the userdata folder to yor PC.

6)Once those two folders are copied to your PC, simply go to each of the other devices and connect to ES File Explorer and overwrite the addons and userdata folders with the ones you just downloaded to your PC and restart Kodi on each device.

When you turn on the remote manager in ES file Explorer it will give you an address like this ftp://192.168.0.105:3721, the numbers 192.168.0.105 will be the address you type into Filezilla and the port will be 3721. I am sure your IP will be different so use the numbers that ES File Explorer shows and not the ones I used as an example. Also, when you go into the remote manager in ES File Explorer it will say settings at the bottom, if you click on that it will say set root directory, that means that when you connect with Filezilla that the directory you set will be the directory that it shown first from your Fire TV. So if its set to SDCARD, when you connect to filezilla you would just navigate to wherever you need to go just like you would inside ES File Explorer if you were in the SDCARD directory.

Just a reminder if you are logged into Youtube or any other addon, when you copy your Kodi setup to another device it will be logged in on that device as well. So if you do not want people doing things on your account you will need to log out before or after copying to other devices.

Heres another method -

Add the source Xfinity if you haven't already & install there repo (if you dont know how to add a source in kodi google it), install the Usb/Sd card backup add on inaddon, configure the backup location of your choice (aftv backup or name it what ever you wanna call it), then start the add on & select backup of your choice (full = is everything, addons = just the addons), wait, once finished put your backup on the new device then add source Xfinity on the new device, configure location Again, open add on & select restore, sometimes it hangs a while but works good, if using a different skin once you restored It change to the skin you were using, then restore again (sometimes it don't all stick first go), any backgrounds need to be loaded on if the location of the pics are on the root of the device? & note if it hangs on a 100% completion just force close using the select circle button & play/pause buttons held down for about 6seconds. Enjoy your new backup copy on your other device.

Hey guys I know this thread has been inactive for a few weeks but I have a couple questions. First im pretty good at messing around with kodi and have done a few backup/restored before to transfer over my addons, but im wondering if any of these methods copy over EVERYTHING. Like skin settings, shortcuts, etc.... Reason is this past Christmas I was slacking a bit on gifts while working out of state. Instead of building my own kodi setup for my father, I opted to just order one online and have it mailed to him direct. When I finally got a chance to visit and check it out, it was actually a really awesome build with a ton of shortcuts and customization that I never really messed with before. And we'll, now I'm

Jealous. Rather than mesd around and pore potentially mess up his settings.... Or just waste a bunch of time, I'm looking to basically just copy his entire build. I'm not sure if this is possible, but if anyone has any tips or advice is love to hear it! Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post! Cheers!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deanr1977:
If you have the repo xunity on there use the add on in programs called "usbsd card wizard" set a location For your backups to be stored, press full backup or add on backup which ever you want? Wait.... Once finished transfer the backup to your new device, install the add on "usbsd card wizard" set a location For your backups to be stored, put your backup in the same location, now open the add on & press restore! Please note sometimes It takes two trys to fully work (not always but sometimes) & if he has backgrounds on his device you may need to copy those on to your device In the same path as his or you won't have blank backgrounds on your device?

Hi folks,

I have been using Moto G for more than a year and lately i noticed battery is discharging more quickly than before. I am not %100 percent sure of it but it just feels like it. Anyway maybe it is not that essential to change the battery now but i am sure that day will come. I found some batteries on ebay but i want to buy genuine moto g battery.

I couldn't find any info about how to check of genuineness of a moto g battery but maybe somehow you know.

Does any of you change their battery before and how does the battery you bought performed ?

This is the link of how to change battery https://youtu.be/bv5C0axnGIw It looks pretty easy
