I've got my kodi system all up and aces and for the most part its working pretty good. I'm having an issue though where if I get too frisky with it the system will freeze and after rebooting it, kodi is sitting at default again.
I bought a bunch of these sticks for my family and myself so while it going default on me isn't such a big deal, it going default on my mom n dad is a real PITA.
I've sorta decided that the easiest way to fix the problem would be to simply change what kodi calls default and replace it with my setup. that way if it ever decides to go back to default settings its no problem as default isn't vanilla confluence.
I'm having a bit of a problem figuring out just how to do this though as I really don't know much about how android / android apk / ect works. I've been looking through the web for an easy explanation for how to do this and have concluded that either:
A: nobody wants to talk about it.
or
B: its so easy nobody thinks there is a need to talk about it.
So my question is were do I find the information I need to be able to swap out the default setup in a kodi APK file? I found a bit of information on kodi android builds at the kodi website but they all reference working within Linux... Is there a method to open an apk, swap the files / config and then repack the apk and have it still install and stay that way or does it require learning a whole lot more about android than I currently do to pull it off?
guys, I have so many questions and no matter how I try and word it, any search with "kodi" in it gets me 15 pages of "how to install mindless blah blah lbah" and any search with android + apk gets me 3000 pages of god only knows what kind of irrelivent informations. I feel like google has turned into "ask jeeves" from 1995... It just isn't working.
Any information on how to do this would be much appreciated.
