Have today tried the new update to 2.08. AFAIR this update took noticeably longer than other updates to install, so be patient and "boot" appeared twice not once whilst installing.
For those having problems upgrading may I suggest this method. Download zip. Copy and paste to another folder away from download folder. In other folder Highlight and use RENAME option, Delete everything except "update" all the decimal points , dashes and dates, everything after the word UPDATE. Once done highlight again and select COPY option, open your USB and paste direct, no win etc required. Works a treat and system sorts out the double zips.
Edit using win 7, but will try win 10 later. Isn't it just case of ticking box to show file format?
Problems or tweeks encountered.
Settings have closed several times on me whilst using the set picture option, and it seems very jerky in its operation. The "this APP is not responding" window appears and then need to come out and go back in. It does save what you have done, but something wrong me thinks.
One time it closed and main menu appeared all out of sync , no blue background and took around 25 seconds to reconfigure.
When opening KODI its not entering installing !st run exercise and despite closing , deleting cache and forcibly closing app unable to get KODI to initialise 1st run which it ought to do as fresh install.
Will continue to play with today and see what happens. Personally like the blue background, but not having CHROME on initial screen, being replaced by PaNDora and Netflix which highly personal choices, one of which not available in UK slightly irritating. However note solutions as above which will try.
Question. Is there not an Back up APP which can be installed to utilise all the users favourite options to USB stick and copied and paste etc on each upgrade?.
Anyway, Thanks to Pcristi for his work and others who assisted him, first time had any problems on a upgrade so advising as requested, not moaning.
Edit. Unable to get ESexplorer to open Usb. It comes up "System UI has stopped. Without my back up for kodi unable to continue so reverting to 2.07.
2nd Edit. Reverted to cfw 2.7 using exactly the same upgrade method and all okay and as we wereat 7.00am this morning. Unfortunately to me appears to confirm that some bugs are in the 2.8 upgrade. However willingly live with what was available but ES Explorer needs to work seamlessly. The picture config also back to normal. Noticed that the arrows of direction stay the way of +/- on 2.7 but on 2.8 they revert otherway. Just a thought as to what may be happening.
Will await further,news. Thanks
