Hello there
This guide is made thanks to help from users in this forum and a little google search.
Special thanks to users: @Milhouse and @popcornmix

This USSG is my first and contains NO Addons and contains these features you can customize:

Transparent Menu
Startup Logos
Apple TV Remote
ZERO Cache Enabled

I have placed the original OpenELEC 5.0.6 file here because this is what I have used.
You need to download programs to:
format your MicroSD card with SDFormatter
Write image to MicroSD card with Win32DiskImager
SSH into OpenELEC/KODI with PUTTY

http://klo.no/kodiultrashortsetupguide/O...-5.0.6.zip (windows version)
http://klo.no/kodiultrashortsetupguide/SDFormatter.zip (windows version)
http://klo.no/kodiultrashortsetupguide/W...Imager.zip (windows version)
http://klo.no/kodiultrashortsetupguide/putty.zip (windows version)
http://klo.no/kodiultrashortsetupguide/Downloads.zip ("Downloads" Folder)

Unzip all files to a folder on your computer
INSTALL SDFormatter and Win32DiskImager
FORMAT your MicroSD card with SDFormatter with default settings
WRITE OpenELEC image to MicroSD card with Win32DiskImager
Boot your Raspberry Pi2 and Enable SSH and note the IP-Address like (192.168.1.23)
Copy files in the downloaded "Downloads" folder to the Raspberry Pi "Downloads" folder.
To open Raspberry Pi "Downloads" folder Go to "Start" and Run this line:
\\192.168.1.23\Downloads

--- At the bottom you find details about each file change ---

PS.If there is something you don't want, then just remove the lines below like:
if you don't want apple remote, you remove these lines:

Code:

cp -f /storage/downloads/Lircmap.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/
cp -f /storage/downloads/lircd.conf /storage/.config/

Now, run this from putty

--------------------------- START PUTTY Copy & Paste ---------------------------------

Code:

cp -r -f /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.confluence/ /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence
mount /flash -o remount,rw
cp -f /storage/downloads/Lircmap.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/
cp -f /storage/downloads/lircd.conf /storage/.config/
cp -f /storage/downloads/oemsplash.png /flash/
cp -f /storage/downloads/Splash.png /storage/.kodi/media/
cp -f /storage/downloads/kodi-logo.png /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p/
cp -f /storage/downloads/Home.xml /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p/
cp -f /storage/downloads/includes.xml /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.confluence/720p/

cp -f /storage/downloads/advancedsettings.xml /storage/.kodi/userdata/
chmod 744 /storage/.kodi/media/Splash.png
echo "modprobe lirc_rpi" > .config/autostart.sh
chmod +x .config/autostart.sh
nano /flash/config.txt

------------------------------- END PUTTY Copy & Paste ---------------------------------

Hit "Enter" and you are now inside "config.txt"

-------------- Press CTRL+V to get to the bottom and copy & paste next line --------------

Code:

device_tree_overlay=lirc-rpi

------------------ Press CTRL+X then Y and Enter --------------------------------------

Thats it!
