Req Android reboot for non rooted devices
#1
Hi, can we have the reboot option for non-rooted devices?

There's an add-on that does this:

http://addons.tvaddons.ag/show/script.pr...otandroid/

So it should also work built-in right?

no.
this is literally the _whole_ code of this addon:
Code:
os.system("su -c 'reboot'")

notice something?

lol, I didn't check the code

that's weird, I thought my android wasn't rooted, the rom must be factory rooted then...

but if it's rooted, why don't I get the shutdown/suspend/reboot submenus on the quit menu?

because reboot is simply not (yet) implemented for Android in Kodi. Nor will we will do suck root hacks. The system itself must have it as option as well.

Only since couple months ago some devices actually started implementing a reboot option the correct way on android. Before they only had shutdown or you had to root the device.

Good to hear that, is this official implementation standard?

If so kodi could detect if the implementation is present on the device and show the referred options only then..

As it could also check if device is rooted and show the options if so, there're lot's of rooted devices out there..
