the freaking update is taking more and more space, now left only ~400mb

should i factory reset?

remove the play store with google service and use only es explorer..you save a lot of space

I've done that long time ago infact i was the one to get 1.1GB space left with only kodi and es. installed

If you read few posts before this, the latest autoupdate not even include PlayStore. Faizal was helping member to get the store back and some method to install apk.

User who already removed playstore before this do not want faizal's method as the store is taking up space. And supposedly the latest update should provide more space as no playstore is included but no. the firmware getting bigger.

I should have disabled the autoupdate but i dont know how.

TM updated the bloat firmware without any new apps or improvement.

I only have kodi* now (after cleared cache, packages and thumbnail) i also removed astro and the go and es explorer** and the space left = 550MB (pathetic)

*my kodi very much slim version only exodus & quasar addon (not the bloat version : salt/ xfinity)
** i realized that since the iFlix update es explorer is buggy and faulty

Now with only 550MB (sometime go down to only 200MB), my Kodi keeps hang in the middle of movie due to lack of space. I have to on/off the box. DTSHDMA movies will stutter unlike few days ago.

So if anyone else facing this problem did you factory reset? or go to recovery mode and reinstall previous firmware supplied by faizal?

Setting up kodi to my liking is too much work & taking a lot of time, so factory reset is the one i want to avoid.

have you check application manager? kodi use a lot of space.. mine actually around 3-4gb. what you can do is divert the kodi_data to microsd card.. it will clear a lot of space

Remove the URL server update link.

what's is the maintenance code again?

3008 for the older firmware. Doesn't work on the newer firmware and neither does the newly provided code. At least, not within settings.

Yes! restoring to factory default cleared a lot of space. (removed hangout) but make sure you removed the upgrade IP after the restoring or else it will start to update after a few min. all the apps installed by factory mode started to update by itself.

Mine has a few apps- Google chrome, turbo downloaded, total commander, Hola VPN, HDP, 火星直播 and KODI 16.1 (addons- Openload, Realmovie, exodus, Specto, Playersklub). available space is about 1gb

Restored KODI is very easy. I normally backup my changes. one click to restored all my setting and addons.

hi guys, try to install Kodi from playstore but it said "device is not supported.." any idea how to go about this?

the KODI from playstore is v17.1 which is not supported with Hyptv STB unit. use v16.1 http://mirrors.kodi.tv/releases/android/arm/old/

Ok tq for all your help, i used Faizal recovery method and reinstalled everything back the version before Iflix update.









And i got 1.5Gb free space.

well done.. but how do u remove bloatware? i tried to uninstall them but the system denied.

use android settings> apps> to force quit> clear cache > disable

Disable =/= Uninstall.

Yeah but it does shred some mb from the storage and their icons are gone from application menu.
