How to copy a complete Kodi setup from one AFTV to another

NOTE

If you have any logins or parental password locks on your add ons you may wanna turn them off or log out of them before startin this guide

1. First set up one Kodi unit how you want it (settings, addons, addon locations on the main menu, splashscreen, backgrounds) once it's perfect move onto step 2

2. Install USB Sd card Wizard, it's on the Xfinity Repo (source - http://www.xunitytalk.com/xfinity)

3. Open the configuration in the USB Sd card Wizard & make a location on your fire Tvs storage

4. Backup with the Usb wizard (do a full backup)

5. Transfer the new backup & any background pictures you want to your laptop/pc you can do this with FTP/ADB/ADB Fire or ES File Explorer

6. Follow step 2 & then step 3 on your new Fire Tv

7. Push the backup & background pictures to the new Fire Tv

8. Now do a restore & restore the backup

9. If it is not fully the same as the original stick or device then restore it again (sometimes It takes two times before everything shows up)

10. Now close Kodi & or reboot when it's finished (if it freezes on a 100% just reboot with the select & play/pause buttons held down for about 6seconds

11. Voila a exactly the same Fire Tv unit with all settings & backgrounds the lot

12. Repeat for the other units (if needed)

If this helped press that thanks button
[Fire TV General] deanr1977:
You can also copy from your Pc version to your Android version of Kodi but you will need to change a few things after you have transfered your backup as you did in post 1. Download the add on Community Portal (Google it) & go into the settings menu & then into Maintenance & select "Change all paths to Special", after that your good to go again.

Is there anything available to root this one?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] joho5:
What is the thinnest case out? I don't necessarily like cases...just want something as thin as possible for scratch protection.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] sn0warmy:
Rinkge Slim is probably the thinnest. It fits VERY well and is about as minimal as it gets. I really like it.

However, I switched to a TPU case because I can be a bit clumsy and needed more protection from drops on pavement.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] EeZeEpEe:
If you just want scratch protection then a skin is the way to go.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] joho5:
I have this one and have had it on past phones and I felt it made the 5x quite a bit bigger for a "thin" case. Maybe because its designed to fit flush with the camera and since the camera protrudes out, it the case does too.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] joho5:
I have a dbrand on the way.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] jbdan:
There is a thread here about the LG hardshell. I think it's about as thin as it can get, similar to the sand paper like hard cases
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
Based on this guy's caliper and Amazon.com, the Nillkin should be quite a bit thinner than the LG case...

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/accessories/lg-hardshell-snap-thinnest-hard-case-lip-t3268751/page2
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Spoenky:
Nillkin nature tpu case. Also has the best feeling buttons I ever had with a silicone case. Ports on bottom have protection . also nice
[Nexus 5X Accessories] bblzd:
IMO the Ringke and Spigen "slim" cases look like Otterboxes in comparison to the LG Snap On, that one is basically like a hard skin. The quicksand cases are similar to those in thickness.

How thin is the Nilkin? I don't see it advertised. The LG Snap On is advertised at 0.75mm but we don't know at which point of the case they measured.

The Nilkin is a gel case, or "condom" case as I like to call them. They are thin but that's about all they have going for them.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
The nillkin is advertised at. 0.6mm. Not much for rugged protection, I suppose, but should be nice for some coverage without added bulk. Mine just shipped (from somewhere in east Asia) and should be here in about 2 weeks. Will keep y'all posted.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Infekxion:
The Lg case has a s light inward curve to it so it's hard to get measurements. After trying multiple angles the thinnest I got was .80, that's coming straight up from the bottom.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] vampire36:
Diztronic hands down :)
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fascinate:
Just got the Nillkin. Definitely the thinnest TPU case I've ever owned. Also the buttons still retain most of their clicky feedback. This has happily replaced the Orzly as my main case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
This is awesome to hear. I'm pumped...the next 10+ days of waiting for mine to arrive from China are going to be tough! Mind if I ask, from where did you order yours?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fascinate:
Bought it from the below listing. Ordered on Dec. 19 and received it on Dec. 29 (Shipped to US). Let us know how you like the case when it arrives!

[Nexus 5X Accessories] 2847018292@qq.com:
I have a PLESON before and it works well,is there anyone who also have bought from pleson?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
I've got my Nillkin Nture TPU case. It's awesome! I don't have pics yet, but will try getting some for y'all when possible. In short, it's amazingly thin for TPU, adding minimal bulk. This is far superior and much thinner than my Cimo TPU case. It's not going to offer much drop protection, but I'm not too concerned about that. Plus it'll certainly prevent scratches. It also has a slight raised edge at the bezel so you can set the phone screen-down on a flat surface and the screen won't touch, but the added bonus here is that since its such a thin case, the offset is minimal which makes it MUCH easier to swipe left-to-right (for example to open an app menu or Google Now) than thicker TPU caes (which can often make it hard to touch the edge of the screen.

Anyway, I'm really happy about this case. It does had small flaps that cover and plug the charging alot and headphone jack, which I waver between liking and disliking. However, those could easily be cut off if wanted. Anyway, easily the best $10 I've ever spent on a case.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] SeriesOfTubes:
Hey I see the listing color options are white, gray, or gold. What color did you get? I'm wondering if by "white" do they actually mean clear?
[Nexus 5X Accessories] fascinate:
Yup, the white is actually clear. That's the one I bought.
[Nexus 5X Accessories] Itachisasuke:
My Nillkin is on its way from China. I'm excited to get it. I'm using the Ringke Fusion right now and I think the profile is slim along the edges but the extra thickness is killing me.

With the Nillkin should I look into getting a screen protector for the camera lens or does the case lip around the camera keep it from touching the surface?

I am having issues with WLM each time i sign in i get a connectivty error, then try and sign in again it signs in but all my contacts are offline, someone can message me and talk to me if they talk first but i can't start any convos as my messenger says everyone is offline, (on my desktop it isn't the case)

Has anyone else had any issues with WLM or any ideas how to get it to work correcly?

Have already done a hard reset and it is still the same.

Hey guys, i just followed the Autrec topic to flash my recovery and the app said that everything is fine and its time to reboot, i hit ok and im stucked at the white lines issue i tried everything to solve this problem i tried :

to flash a stock firmeware but the problem is i cant enter the recovery mode nor the download mode so i cant flash anything, i tried but the LG flash tool dosent recognize my phone so i cant use this method

this solution but i need to flash the kernel so i can't use this method neither

i found this solution that dosent need a recovery mode nor a download mode and i tried it and when i type :

ls /dev/sd*

i should get something like that

but all i got is that :

/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2

and i think that means that ubuntu dont recognize my phone neither

the last thing is this solution but I have not yet tested cause it too risky.

i think i just bricked my phone ( i cant enter the download mode nor the recovery, i can't flash anything, pc and linux dont recognize my phone )! what should i do ?

After spending the last few days trying to build AOSP 6.0 from source, I finally got it to compile. I have links to the system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, and userdata.img if anyone wants to try it out. :)

Edit: Files removed. If anyone wants to test out AOSP 6.0 for the Z5, look through the thread. zacharias.maladroit got it to work.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lonely2k5:
hi

i want to try it but just tell us what's working and what not?

RIL, Camera, Video playback, sensors, fingerprint ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Uclydde:
Sorry, I don't know what works and what doesn't. This is built straight from Sony's aosp build guide. It probably is not stable. I just thought that some people might want to test it out, seeing as there are no marshmallow builds on the internet.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lonely2k5:
ok

so you haven't even tried if it boots?

i'll try and see what happens..

is the build with all changes as z3 concept?

i had no time and didn't follow the aosp some time...tried to build it when it came out but not sucseeded...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Uclydde:
When I tried to build it with the guide given, I ran into an issue saying "fatal error: pm-service.h: No such file or directory". Someone else had this issue too, and it was suggested to use this patch: https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/180351/. Once I did that, the build succeeded. I have not yet tested it out.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lonely2k5:
i'm flashing it now...but sending system.img is taking cca 10min now..we'll see..

p.s. looks like something is wrong with system.img...other parts flash ok but cannot flash system, it freezes and have to abort it
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Uclydde:
Try this command instead. This is what Sony recommended in their guide:

fastboot -S 256M flash system system.img
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lonely2k5:
thnx

worked...

booting now...i'll report

1st boot

- some screen flickering and artifacts on booting screen...

- bootloop

2nd boot

same as 1st boot...
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Uclydde:
Darn :( that's disappointing. I'm gonna try to recompile it and see if it works this time.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lonely2k5:
ok

should i wait? :)

how long will it take?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Uclydde:
It'll probably be a few hours. I will update my post as soon as I finish. Let's hope it works.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] Uclydde:
Okay, I updated the original post with the new files.
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] lonely2k5:
sorry but not working...

it looks like it's not bootloop as it stays connected to flashtool all the time but boot animation going for ever...

flashtool recognizes it ok

EDIT: I don't know why but the app-optimizing-process takes very long, maybe because i did a dirty flash to keep userdata from prevouis Stock-Xperia-Firmware.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] logo_32:
I have compiled and successfully booted into aosp marshmallow as well as lollipop two days ago.

However here's what's interesting, since there isn't a specific way to install a custom recovery for the marshmallow, there is no way to install gapps! Also, mobile networks as well as sd card doesn't work! Only WiFi works. As for the lollipop, after using the dirty root method, I could install gapps. Also mobile networks work, but the sd card functionality is still missing. And camera fails to work in both the aosp builds.

To summarise what doesn't work:

AOSP_L_kitakami_sumire:

Not working - sd card, camera.

AOSP_M_kitakami_sumire:

Not working - mobile network, sd card, camera, gapps.

P.S.: I can upload the image file links if anybody is interested in flashing it! But I still see no point in doing so unless you're interested in testing out a few apps that you're designing specific to this device.

Cheers.

can you link me to the device tree configuration you used [specifically] to produce this build? using sony's realeased sources as are is giving me an issue with linker pointing to libc 32 bit INSTEAD of libc 64 bit.

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
lol - ****ty DMCA crap

now what ? :(

So that's the reason the Z5 AOSP builds don't work ?

Qualcomm (and its minions) is constantly firing against efforts to get it working ?

Anyway - our device isn't Amami - so let's see whether this time's build offers more functionality ...

For those who want to build AOSP make sure that you only use glibc up to 2.21* , 2.22 and 2.23 won't work (had to fully rebuild my system for this :silly: )
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] logo_32:
Our device is "Kitakami_Sumire" [MENTION=5864662]moonbutt74[/MENTION] so you can use that specific name while mentioning the configuration file and it would pull the appropriate stream of files!

[MENTION=3037651]zacharias.maladroit[/MENTION] any new updates on their lp aosp build?

Due to exams at uni and heavy double shifts at work, I haven't been able to develop since past couple of weeks :(
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
[MENTION=4193263]logo_32[/MENTION]

Unfortunately no,

I've been mostly focusing on the Marshmallow build since that was supposed to work better than Lollipop,

also I was mainly occupied with creating my system from scratch to be able to run the build-script in the first place ;)

... and there were several obstacles on the way: http://bbs.bbqlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=211 + some more

It takes quite a while to sync the repos - so I've only stored the MM-related files on the local harddrive for now

[Xperia Z5 Android Development] :
Zach,

hi, what i'm looking for is what i am missing in my device configuration that is causing system binaries to link to

the incorrect library versions by way of architecture.

for example, runing ls bones it because it's trying to link to libc 32 bit instead of libc 64 bit

I thought it was connected to the new linker modifications on hash-style=both as opposed to hash-style=sysv but that doesn't seem to be it.

So i am hunting down info from anyone who has it that isn't the same as sony's official offerings on device configuration sources.

The LOCAL_MULTILIB flag doesn't seem to work.

I guess a further question i have is, Do i need to specify lib64 in LD_LIBRARY_PATH in init.environ.rc or do i need some sort of ld/linker scripting?

My kernel appears to be good, as my device appears as offline in adb devices, when i mount the system in recovery and manually export my variables for $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH and so on is how i found out what hte issue seems to be. The aarch64 build is new to me though.

In the past i've been able to debug 32 bit builds through the recovery and manual blah blah approach, but it seems that might not be working here or the issue is actually the issue.

My recovery kernel is 64 bit as well so that's not a problem as i can run a chrooted distro while in recovery, and get a listout from running busybox, so i think my problem may be with toolbox and toybox but i'm not certain.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH. :silly:

m
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] zacharias.maladroit:
Toolchain issues can be a pita,

there are some more commands to set 32bit or 64bit arch (https://source.android.com/source/64-bit-builds.html), to be honest

I haven't looked much (if any) into the AArch64 architecture yet - yeah, it's new for me, too.

What part of your AOSP build is modified, divergent from "stock" ?

When was the last time you did repo sync ?

If that didn't help - did you try starting out anew ?

this gets me confused - you're talking about Linux on your PC or ROMs on the phone ?
[Xperia Z5 Android Development] :
Fun huh? :laugh:

I don't often run individual lib builds unless something is giving me trouble so both 64bit and 32bit build out.

JERPLEA pointed out that things like camera and i believe wifi require 32bit libs. I would quote that from pm directly but

I'm a bit of a spaz when it comes to keeping my inbox clean. :o

I'm working cyanogenmod and plucking out what appear to be the agreed upon configurations for other 64 bit builds and msm 8994 cortex a5x

to include any changes made for potentially broken builds with cortex a5x issues. What i AM uncertain of is CAF pathcing is necessary with this kernel version anymore. I do follow Sony's kernel header updates and adjust accordingly my actual kernel source and have no issues with my nethunter modified kernel running the stock rom.

I take a look before syncing, otherwise i sync every few days. or force-sync a particular directory.

Hulk Clobbers!! frequently, xD

Yeah you can run an armhf chrooted distro in recovery, I've never gone the full route of getting networking up though. Usually I run out of recovery to get some extra ram for compiling on device.

I am on my 4th day of syncing AOSP :victory: So will run a build respectable like, when it's done. If it ever gets done... xD

Thanks.
