I'm not sure whether this is against the rules, but is there anyway to change the package name from org.xbmc.kodi to something different? If there is what would be the easiest way? Compiling Kodi again in Android Studio? Or is there a simpler method. Kind regards.
I'm no Android dev, but AFAIK you have to recompile. Using a quick search on Github I found this
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/8d4a5b...ry.cpp#L52 . You notice that a variable is used for the last segment of the package name. You not only have to change the "org.xbmc." part, but also have to change the definition of this variable. I'm sure you'll be able to find out where it is defined.
Please note that if you plan to release a customized version/fork of Kodi you MUST rebrand, which means changing some strings shown in the UI, changing the app name itself, change artwork and so on. We also demand that if you rebrand/fork, to use your own add-on repositories and API keys for various services (like scrapers, weather add-ons, ...) and not live on our behalf.

Hi. I just want to change the I stall name so I am
can have a 64 bit kodi 17.6 and a 64bit kodi 18 on the same box with 32 bit versions for comparison testing so I just need 4 kodi they could be name kodi 1764 1732. 1832 1864 and all be named kodi I just want to add version numbers to the package install nothing more no other changes there is no law aginst that is there. I don't know why kodi. Don't make them like that g or the 18. Nightly could even be named kodi 18 nightly that could be updates every. Few days
It would be nice if someone could tell me how to that I a ready have the newest apk tool and decompiled kodi 18 now I just need to know how to serialize them and add. The serial number to each apk. I. Don't want change or add nothing. It just my own test comparisons
