After some digging on the web I found the guys behind the X96 are actually nice enough to provide more or less regular updates for their boxes, even for the new model with dual WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. However, I wanted to get the original back in the hope to get a working remote or to find a way to turn the box on and off through the airmouse. There are UBS burning tools to get these firmwares onto a box if you really need to though. And of course not every firmware comes in a format the X96 can use right away. No big deal if you prefer a WiFi mouse/keyboard kombo anyway. Big downside of this way is that you get a box branded for some other manufacturer and that the remote might not work at all. With the S905 and S906 chipsets the good thing is that basically every box with the same amount of memory and same WiFi chip will be compatible for a firmware donation. You can also try a wipe and factory reset from the recovery console if you don't want to flash a firmware. Nothing beast a fresh firmware when it comes to removing ALL your user data. Best reason is if you want to sell your box after extensive use and including quite a few personal things on it.

For all this a backup of what you need and a fresh firmware install can solve a lot of problems and give you some speed back too.

With most of these boxes already rooted and open to all sorts of attack people even ruin their Android system by the use of tuning tools designed for smartphones. Over time things can get slow or after some 'tuning' certain parts not longer respond as the should. As with Windows everything leaves stuff behind even if uninstalled correctly. Sometimes Android like to bloat up from all the things we installed. If all works fine you should not! It is always better to leave a well running system alone. I decided it is time to search for some updates somewhere. All player buttons olny pause the video or skip it by 15seconds. The most annyoing part howver was that the remote did not provide the stop function. Plus Kodi would often take forever and a bit more to get through the menus and start things. Everything worked fine except that some programs I installed caused crashes at times with no reason I could find. Considering their release strategy and time stamping procedure the firmware was created sometime Feb- March 2016. It also seems I am one of the lucky guy who already had a quite recent firmware installed - from July 2016. Turned out, at least for my box there is no real link it tries to access for the update, so it will always fail. Sadly the box always gives an error in regards to stack not being able to access the internet. With the thing running on Android 6.0.1 already I was not expecting monthly updates though.

Usually, you just have to wait a while to clear them up. This may cause irregular or delayed use of some features. The first time and every time you start KODI, it performs updates or background checks.The Raspberry Pi version of KODI does not have all the features and Add-Ons, but most of them are present.Review the controller configuration Recalbox controllers section If your controllers go crazy when you enter KODI, they are not properly configured.Some addons may require a subscription, like Netflix or Amazon Video, others may just require you to create an account like Pandora.Some people sell dongles or instructions for getting content on your KODI, but these are just collections or preassembled directories that are free if you find them yourself.There are some options in the configuration if you want to boot directly to KODI every time rather than EmulationStation (default).
