      In a terminal app.
      You have to unzip completely, make the changes and then tar the folder again from Android not a PC.
      You can't just edit files and repack the tar otherwise it won't restore correctly.

        Anyone wanting remote update ability just pm me. I have a method that keeps nothing on the stick and remotely updates from internet. All the user does is run an app. I can change/ update any aspect of rom through the update. Kernels boot.img kodi updates boot logos install apk's. I havent found the need yet but could probably do a full remote update. Been keeping my customers happy for nearly a year now. I was hosting on aa free drop box account but got scared and moved to a private server to host the files. Anyway if you are interested pm me

          What apps do I use to unzip, make the changes and re-tar?

          Is there anywhere I can learn how to make my own tar? I did read the previous comment that describes it but I need more info or visuals. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. You guys have amazing brains! LOL

            Just take your .kodi directory and copy it. You can zip in es file explorer if you want a single file. Make sure you have show hidden files in es file explorer checked. You can download any changes on a PC with this method. Again I have this completed automated with an android app that pulls the img from my server. Pm if interested. I can demo with teamvewer.

              Thank you for the straight forward explanation but without knowing the basics of this it makes it difficult to do. I've already done a search on instructions on how to do this and have come up with nothing. Do you know of a page that explains it or shows it in detail. Thanks for your time!

                /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/
                navigate here
                Copy this directory
                Make sure you have show hidden folders in esfile explorer ticked under tool

                  The easiest way is to copy and paste the entire kodi folder to sdcard, then copy to new box/device?
                  Or copy with helium?

                  Personally, I just do a twrp backup then restore if its one box to another, takes 5 mins and is identical copy, including all my apps like ogyoutube, shoebox, moddedspotify and kodi initd script.

                      why tar? you can zip it. Long press .kodi in es file explorer >>>more in bottom right and compress. You will have a zip file....

                          Easy with zip. Busybox has unzip with it. Add some lines to your to installapk.sh to only on first boot unpack the zip file. Look up if else and touch command. Then create a fix script the user can run through terminal emulator in case there's an issue that will delete the touched file.

                                So you have it in one file now what is the point to complicate things. Gzip looks to be built into busybox.
