For some reason the changes i made don't mirror across there, have tried uninstalling (in the restricted profile) and then going back to main profile and re-adding - but to no avail....

adb shell pm grant org.xbmc.kodi android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
adb shell pm grant org.xbmc.kodi android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE

I am yearning to edit the code in the xml as you suggest, but I doubt I can access the system files in my android TV.
If you know a way to do so (through an app or something) I'd be more than glad if you showed me.

On the other hand, I searched a little bit and found that by renaming the kodi *.apk to *.zip and unzipping subsequently I have access to the AndroidManifest.xml . The problem is the characters don't show up right when I open it, a decoding error obviously.
But I just wanted to ask, if I eventually manage to edit the xml as you suggested, will zipping it and renaming it back to *.apk do the job? I mean do you think I will be able to install it on my TV?
