    Hi Folks ,

    Does anyone know a way of cloning an Android TV box ,

    Place I work for got them in, and of course I loaded mine up with XBMC and Fusion Hub and all the bells and whistles .

    Now everyone in the job wants one with my setup ,

    Its grand setting one of two up but Ive 6 here in front of me to do !

    I only really want to clone the XBMC section , I tied a few things and am having no joy , in reality ive wasted more time trying to set a clone "image" of XBMC than if I had of just gone and done them all normally ,

    Its a matter of pride now , I just want to figure it out :o

    I seen the below advice on another forum

    Download .apk
    Change extension to .zip
    Unzip it.
    Install the original .apk, set it up as you want it.
    Copy the userdata folder from the tv box.
    Place the userdata folder with the unzipped .apk files (after deleting the default userdata).
    Re-zip.
    Change extension back to .apk.
    Now install your modified .apk on multiple boxes. They should all be identical to the first build.


    I followed the instructions and this is what happened

    I copied the user data folder from my Android TV box using Samba file sharing App,

    Changed the original download to a .zip

    Replaced the original user data folder with my copy from the the Android TV box
    Re zipped the file
    Changed the file back to an .APK ,

    When I then try to load onto a second box it comes up with an error

    Parse Error , There was a problem parsing the package ,

    My security settings are correct so it must be something wrong with how I copied the user data file or because I done it on a Mac ,

    Thanks for any help
