[YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishu_ka:
Ok first of all i dont have much of idea about flashing and all so i am going with OTA update.

What i have heard about steps to be taken before OTA update should be make backup of phone , factory reset, update via OTA update and then restore phone.

Post update i have heard is Wipe cache memory and dalvik cache through custom recovery.

Now please friends guide me what exact steps should i do Pre and Post OTA update so that i get maximum benefit out of it.

Thank you

All good..

I am not here to judge but you have done the right thing and put in the disclaimer..

It's up to the individuals to work out what they want within thier setups and I take my hat off to the development guys..

I had 5 years working in China and so many of the HuB addons I have used over the years myself.. As it was almost the only way I could get good English TV on demand..

But you know the politics of it all and KODI as a organization has to distant itself from any involvement of p2p streams that maybe carry copyrighted materials..

The last thing they need and they have been down that track is court cases that send them as developers into the litigation pit..

On that note..I am on KODI 16 beta 3 and seems to be running fine..

And loaded it up..

Looks good..

Am looking at using Mikey's karaoke for coming Xmas party on Sunday ..

Got a house load of Philos turning up..and if you know anything about the Philippines..

They do love to sing..god help the neighborhood....:)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] monkey1230:
Yes iptvextra is for the international section mainly for the Asian section, and for the addons that currently dont work will get fixed in the next update took some time off for the holidays. This build was made specifically for the firesticks I currently have 4 running and a AFTV 2 no issues as long as you clear the cache and the packages about every week and the thumbnails about every couple of weeks( to save on space). As for the splitting up, thats in the works for future builds, just follow my facebook page for updates.

Thank you for the input. :D
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Great, Should not be a problem on the FTVS's... Glad that's the case. I plan on switching from my Rooted 1st Gen FTV's to FTVS's. And just upgrade to either 2nd Gen FTVS's or 3rd Gen FTV's next year. So this is the perfect Kodi setup for FTVS's.

Keeping Kodi clean should not be a problem for me since I like to clean the cache each time I close or open Kodi. And the packages maybe every other day. I do need to do the thumbnails wipe more often. You have it perfectly setup. It's so easy to get things done.

Got a ? - I see that the (*Start) Favorites menu is pre-filled with shortcuts... After watching an updates video on how to fix Genesis on YouTube I saw that this setup probably uses shortcuts within the Favorites (*Star) menu for the shortcuts in the SubMenu Set's. Am I correct on this ?

I guess I can just add my own Favorite either to the top or bottom of the list for easy access if needed. I mostly temporarily save to Favorites specific links for current sports games when I'm interested on switching between them. Also if I find a movie or show on an add-on that uses the overall Favorites as their Favorites list so I don't have to search for hard to find content again. Maybe you have a better way to deal with these cases. Or I missed something.

Bottom line I wanted to confirm if removing any of the links already in (*Star) Favorites will cause some of the SubMenu links shortcuts to stop working. ??

PM me if you think I am getting to much into the weeds in this thread. :eek:
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] monkey1230:
No bud your completely fine with all the questions the more the marry-er so everyone will know aswell, but no it will not harm the sub menu if you remove the favorites. your actually the first person to want this, so I just created a small wizard for this--- if you clear cache a couple times then goto fire wizard you will find a new one called "Clear my favorites so you can add your own" and it will clear them all, the process will take about 4 sec and a quick force stop and it will be clear. :victory:
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Worked like a charm. All cleared now. Although in the future I might keep some of those links. I am just testing things out on this build. I will do a final clean install after I test & learn more.

It did seem to loose somewhat access to the Add-on Shortcuts that are only used by one of the sections (X). Seems they where linked to Favorites shortcuts instead of directly to Video add-ons. The icons disappeared so you could not tell what you where choosing. Very easy fix. But might be something to change in the future on the over all build.

I went thru most of the Favorites links right now before clearing things. About 33-45% did not seem go be working right. But like you said. You will probably be updating them after the holidays.

Guess my next ? would be how minor & major updates will be done in the future. Would the "Clean Slate" option be needed & there for we would loose any shortcuts or other mods we have done on our end ?

Also wonder if there is a way to get specific Movies &/or Videos from Genesis to show up or be savable to Super Favorites since it lets you create folders. Unlike the internal Favorites option within Genesis. Have you ever been able to do that ?

Thanks for all the help & knowledge... :highfive:
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] monkey1230:
yes the links that are not working will be fixed after the holidays.

When the updates are done you just do the wizard again

yes the clean slate option will wipe kodi like new but leave my plugin

with genesis you cannot use super favorites to save them all the other addons you can though

I will throw my 2cents on as loaded it up on to the FT stick I have here..

KODI 16 beta 3

I have got the thumbs and all artwork out to the NAS..

Saves all that space getting taken up on these low memory devices..

Seems to be working fine..

I just haven't had time to explore it further..but as a one stop shop.. Does the trick.. ;)

Once again..did notice a few idiots getting slammed in kodi forums for being blockheads and not separating the Kodi questions from... Undiscussed addons..

But they will learn..as we all have..

Maybe if people are interested they can learn about the substitution methods available to them for thumbs..works a treat once you have a good setup going..

Updated, check OP for details

Sent from my L720 OD2 deodexed
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Awesome update!!

Thanks Monkey1230. Hope you had a great XMas. Taking both updates for a spin. The updates are looking really good.

So I wrote down the upgrade steps with a few notes/?'s in ( ) . Please confirm or clarify them for us.

So to update we just need to:

1. Clear Cache, Clear Packages & Clear Thumbnails. - (

Maybe not needed since Clean Slate might take care of this ???

)

2. Regularly close Kodi & Reboot Kodi. - (

Maybe not needed - See ? above

)

3. Run Clean Slate. - (

The sub-menu link under "Maintenance" for "Clean Slate" seems to be down. Maybe as a safety design ?? or just a bad link ??

)

It takes you to a "Now Exit Kodi" screen. Although nothing has been cleared.

-From there Clean Slate can be access by clicking on the ".." above "Now Exit Kodi" then clicking on "Program add-ons" where you will see "Clean Slate".

-Another option to accessing Clean Slate is to go to "Addons" from Kodi's home screen then "Program" where you will find "Clean Slate".

4. Once you've clicked on "Clean Slate". Read & follow the prompts to confirm you want to erase everything (Minus "Fire TV Wizard" & "Clean Slate"). Once you get to the "Now Exit Kodi" screen. Hit the back button & "exit" out of Kodi the normal way you always do.

5. Now you may restart a clean install of Kodi. Now that your back to stock Kodi it will start to do the initial boot-up updates like before. Just go to "Programs" then "Program add-ons" then "Fire TV Wizard" then "Fire TV Guru Builds" and choose which ever flavor of the two updated builds you prefer.

6. Wait for the update to be downloaded & installed. Then follow the force reboot prompts to force close Kodi. Confirm "Yes, Close".

- If "Force Close Kodi" fails for some reason (It's happen to me once). You can always click on your remotes "Home" button & go to the Amazon or FireStarter Apps menu & do a "Force Stop" from there.

7. Now it is time to Start Kodi anew. Make sure you wait for all updates of the add-ons to finish. (Take note that you might end up with some add-ons not being compatible if your running a Beta of the latest Kodi.)

Please let me know what I got wrong ? I've underline the parts where I still have :confused: .

Answers are in red

Yes i did have a good Christmas thx bud, and I hope all of ya'lls were aswell and ya'll have a safe and Happy New Year :cool:.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
So I did some more testing & narrow down the minor bugs or oddities a bit further.

1. So if we also want to keep any saved Favorites we have added or if we want to keep the shows/movies we have watched marked as watched from whatever add-on we should not do a Clean Slate & just flash the update on top ? aka dirty update. You will let use know if there ever is a reason for doing a Clean Slate update.

2. In this instance what I meant by "Regularly close Kodi & Reboot Kodi." was that after performing a "Clear Cache, Clear Packages & Clear Thumbnails" a restart of Kodi was needed. Specifically after a Clear Thumbnails. But since its not needed for a dirty or clean slate update. I will take this off the list as an update step & only put it as a weekly maintenance note.

3. I was able to narrow down what was causing the Clean Slate Maintenance shortcut to not work right. The only FTV that gave me that problem was on Kodi 16 Beta 4. I reinstalled Kodi 15.2 & it started to work correctly. On Kodi 16 Beta 4 the Clean Slate shortcut only works the very first time you click on it after a fresh install of Kodi.

Note that in Kodi 15.2 if you hit the Clean Slate shortcut key but choose "No" on performing the Clean Slate. The shortcut will stop working correctly until you restart Kodi. On Kodi 16 Beta 4 even if you restart Kodi the shortcut key will not work correctly again after the first time clicked. It will just skip to the "Done" screen although nothing was cleared.

The force close Kodi after a Clean Slate like you mentioned would be ideal.

7. Good reminder. Any version of Kodi can get overwhelm by a flood of add-on updates. If it freezes for more then 30 seconds its time to hit home & force close Kodi from the Apps Settings of whichever launcher (Fire TV or FireStarter) you are using.

_____________________________________________________

- A very minor oddity I have notice is that on Kodi 16 Beta 4 the splash screen aspect ratio is fine. It stretches to what ever size TV you are using. But on Kodi 15.2 the splash screen is always 3/4 of the size of any screen on any model of TV. I looked to see if I could tweak any settings on Kodi to fix this but have not found a solution yet.

- Also at this time there are two add-ons that are "incompatible due to unmet dependencies" when running Kodi 16 Beta 4. Those are "Desirulez" & "Filmesonlinegratis". Not sure how vital those two add-ons are under the hood. But I would recommend staying on Kodi 15.2 for the fullest/smoothest setup. Although Kodi 16 Beta 4 seems very close to Stable.

- Also an option that seems to be missing is for a manual way to force Kodi to check for updates on the left screen hidden menu. I know that Kodi is set to "Auto updates: On". But like on the stock Kodi. It would be good to also have the shortcut to manually "Check for updates" under "Misc options" on the left side hidden menu.

Thanks again for sharing your hard work with us. Will await your response. :cowboy:
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] monkey1230:
And Thank you for your indepth questions which are very helpful to others. :good::D
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] Y314K:
Are you saying that it is just not recommended or that it actually has been remove. The thing is that on both 15.2 & 16 Beta 4 whether is a fresh stock install or after rebooting post the Clean Slate option. The "Check for updates" option is there every time. And when I click on it I see it check for updates.

The place where this option shows is under System/Settings/Add-ons/ Then if you click the left arrow button so the left hidden menu shows. You will then see under "Misc Options":

Auto updates: On

Notifications - Checked

Hide foreign - Unchecked

Hide Compatible - Unchecked

Check for updates - (It's a clickable option. Not a setting like the ones above. This is the option I am talking about and it's present & functional on Confluence in Stock Kodi 15.2 & 16 Beta 4.)

Great... I think that take cares of most of the ?'s I had regarding the shell for this awesome setup. Next I plan to dive into the inners of the different add-ons & how they relate to Super Favorites.

Thanks a lot for all your guidance & patience. Can't wait for the next update.

Catch you later bud. :good:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPenguin:
Hi all. I just unlocked my HTC m7 (GSM) with HTCdev.com and then installed TWRP and used that to install SuperSU. After that, I ran Sunshine to get S-OFF, and then I ran Guru Bootloader Reset in order to remove the "tampered" flag. Then I set SuperCID to 11111111, and I think I'm ready to flash a rom (I"m looking at ViperOne, since I used it on my Sensation and liked it).

I'm on hboot 1.61. Is it worth downgrading to 1.44 so that I can easily get s-on/s-off in the future? If so, should I flash the new hboot before or after the rom? Does it matter?

Thanks all. I spent quite a bit of time flashing and testing roms on my HTC Touch Pro and then my HTC Sensation. I've held off for a couple of years, but I'm looking forward to playing around with my M7 again!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Your phone is already S-OFF why would you want to turn it back S-ON? Never go back S-ON, the only time it should be done is before sending the phone for repair under warranty. Going back S-ON is the same as intentionally locking your car with the keys left inside... And even if you go back S-ON why hboot 1.44 should make it easier to achieve S-OFF again? You just paid for Sunshine, you can use it as many time as you want on that phone + If you already have paid for Sunshine, its actually the easiest method to S-OFF your phone on any hboot version.

ref: http://theroot.ninja/faq.html

Another thing to know is that hboot 1.44 is incompatible with windows 8 and 10, so say goodbye to fastboot connectivity (fastboot commands) after flashing it, unless you are using a Mac, Win7 or Linux.

For your last question, it doesn't matter when you flash the hboot, if you need to flash one. Would recommend to stay on 1.61
