Hi
Because i use "XBMC Launcher" that boot's the minix strait to XBMC, i would like to know
if there a way to launch android utilities or app's likes for example - ftp server or any other utilities within XBMC ?

Thanks
refael.
You can launch apps from XBMC/Kodi by going to:

Programs > Android Apps

If you are using a skin other than Confluence, then for example with Aeon Nox you have to go to:

Programs, then select the Level Up arrow, then select Android Apps.
Thanks.
What I do is to use Confluence to add all the Android apps I like to Favorites, then most any skin will allow you to add favorites to one of your Home Screen menus. I also make "Android Apps" one of my Favorites, so I can easily get to my less often used apps with just one extra click.

In practice, this has worked very well. I can watch Netflix for example, and when I exit that, it returns me straight to XBMC. I almost never have to fully exit XBMC.
