Andriod question - Rickt1962 - 2014-11-18
I just purchased a Satellite STB with Android (Vigica Android 4.2.2 Tv BOX C70t Hd Hdmi Dvb-t2 Tv Receiver Amlogic Aml8726-mx 1g 4g Dual Core ) Love the box it has google play store on it.
The problem Im having it has XBMC Gotham 13.1 and its missing the Time zone settings so I tried to install 13.2 but it wont because of 13.1 already on it so Im asking Do I have to remove 13.1 first to install 13.2 BUT im worried once I uninstall 13.1 and 13.2 will not load or work Or is it standard procedure and not to worry ?

How are you installing it?
If using ADB you will need to use the -r switch
Code:
adb install -r xbmc-13-2.apkIf you just downloaded the apk file on the device, you can just install it normally and it will upgrade xbmc

Just an FYI, XBMC/Kodi for Android doesn't have a Time zone setting. It takes the Time Zone from whatever is set in Android.

I downloaded it to Ext harddrive then used a program app on the android called appinstaller
So I guess it has to be deleted first before I upgrade oh well It will have to wait I just ordered 3 more boxes and will wait. So If I screw up the box I will have 3 more back ups !
Thanks for leading me in the right direction !P.S. Its kinda of funny how 13.1 on this box has the date stuck at Fri 2 Jan1970

if you can't install 13.2 on top of 13.1 it means you have a non-official version and you will receive no help from us as we won't know what happened to the code

How can I tell if it has been tampered with ?

Ok I just experimented I downloaded a weather apk used the installer and it went in fine ! The date and time on the weather screen is Fri 2 Jan1970 so that tells me 13.1 is working fine and its getting the date and time from Android
So XBMC is fine Now I just got to figure out how to get into the system to change it !

If you cannot install an official Kodi/xbmc over the one you have, it means the old one was tampered, or that it was baked into the firmware.

Update I have couple of the boxes and updated one to 13.2 and the other to Kodi and no problems ! The only thing I see is XBMC/Kodi it has a hard time when you scan in all the MOVIES/ TV Shows from a WD Cloud smb it misses a lot
When you set the scanning to Local Information only after that scan you have to go in and change the scrarper to pick up the rest. Very frustrating
