Tailored Kodi APK & Update System for Block TV

***BEFORE YOU BID ON MY JOB, I AM ONLY GOING TO SPEND $100-$200 TO GET THIS DONE. THAT IS IT. *** Kodi Developer Needed – Custom Branded Android APK, Build Wizard & Automatic Update System Project: Block Stream Entertainment – Block TV Job Type: Fixed-price project (open to proposals) Experience Required: Advanced Kodi development, Android APK customization, Python, XML, and server-based update systems. Project Overview We are launching Block Stream Entertainment, a streaming entertainment company offering our own branded Android TV boxes called Block TV. We are seeking an experienced Kodi developer to create a completely customized Kodi build and branded Android APK for our devices. This is NOT simply a request to install a few Kodi add-ons. We need a professionally developed, branded Kodi experience with a custom user interface, a proprietary installation/maintenance wizard, and a reliable automatic build-update system hosted on our server. Our goal is to distribute Android boxes with our customized Kodi application preinstalled and provide customers with a seamless, user-friendly entertainment experience. 1. Custom Kodi Build & Branding We need a fully customized Kodi build that includes: * A custom Block Stream Entertainment theme using our company colors. * Our official company logo and Block TV branding throughout the interface. * A customized home screen with easy-to-navigate entertainment categories. * Custom background images, menu icons, and startup splash screen. * Optimized performance for Android TV boxes. * A clean, professional interface that is easy for nontechnical customers to use. * Integration of current, maintained Kodi add-ons and repositories for licensed or otherwise authorized content. The build should be compatible with our selected Android hardware and designed to operate smoothly with a standard TV remote control. We will provide our company logo, branding materials, and preferred colors. 2. Custom Branded Kodi APK We want our own branded Android application based on Kodi.

Requirements

include: * Replace Kodi’s default application name with our Block TV branding. * Replace the default Kodi application icon with our logo. * Customize the application splash/loading screen. * Configure the Android package name appropriately. * Ensure the application can be installed on our Android TV boxes. * Provide a properly signed, installable APK. * Ensure the custom APK works with our installation wizard and update system. The developer must have experience building or modifying Kodi for Android, not just installing skins or add-ons. Any modifications must comply with applicable open-source licensing requirements. 3. Custom Block TV Wizard Add-On We need a proprietary Kodi wizard add-on branded as: Block TV Wizard The wizard must have a custom interface using our logo and company colors. Required functionality: 1. Check for available Block TV build updates. 2. Display the currently installed build version. 3. Display the latest available version on our server. 4. Download and install the latest build. 5. Clear Kodi cache and temporary files. 6. Clear thumbnails and unused cached artwork. 7. Remove obsolete packages and temporary installation files. 8. Back up and restore user settings where appropriate. 9. Restore the Block TV build to its default configuration. 10. Display build information, changelogs, and update history. We are also interested in recommendations for additional maintenance and troubleshooting tools that would benefit our customers. The wizard must be easy to navigate using an Android TV remote. 4. Automatic Build Update System – VERY IMPORTANT This is one of the most important requirements of the project. We want our Kodi application to automatically check our server whenever the customer launches Block TV. The process should work as follows: Step 1 – Application Launch The customer opens our Block TV Kodi application on their Android box. Step 2 – Server Version Check The application contacts our server and checks the latest available Block TV build version. It compares the server version with the version currently installed on the customer’s device. Step 3 – Update Notification If the customer already has the newest build, Kodi should continue loading normally. If a newer version is available, a branded notification should appear: “Block TV Update Available! A newer version of Block TV is available. Would you like to download and install the latest update?” The customer should have two options: YES – Install Update NO – Remind Me Later Step 4 – Download Latest Build If the customer selects YES, the system should download the latest build package directly from our server. A progress indicator should display the download and installation status. Step 5 – Install Update Once downloaded, the system should safely install the updated build, replacing the necessary files while preserving appropriate user settings. Step 6 – Restart Application After installation, the application should restart or guide the customer through a controlled restart if required by Android. When Block TV launches again, the latest build should be active. The update system must be reliable and include download verification, error handling, and recovery options if an update fails. The developer should distinguish between Kodi build updates and Android APK updates. If an APK update requires Android installation approval, the system must handle that process correctly. 5. Server-Based Build Management We will host our builds and update files on our own server. We need the developer to create and configure the server-side update structure.

Requirements

* A central location to upload new Block TV builds. * A version manifest that identifies the latest available build. * Downloadable build packages. * Version comparison functionality. * Build changelog support. * Secure HTTPS downloads. * File integrity verification. * A method to prevent repeated installation of the same version. * Clear in
