"Thats the beauty of dual boot though on USB or SD card, you can always boot into android for web browsing"
Indeed. Haven't put libreelec yet on internal memory. But as long as you don't unplugg power to the device, libreelec just sleeps/wakes upp using the remote power button.
Actually, thought of a "poor mans dual boot" solution by mounting a little switch to the Q-box, and wire it in parallel with the "tooth pick switch" behind the 3.5 mm connector.
One can perhaps use a multi section toggle switch that simultaneously powers on/off the device. Otherwise just a separate switch for power would be fine as well.
Another wild thought is to wire the Q-box LED control output (that can be controlled by some remotes) to a simple transistor circruity that controls the tooth pic switch on the PCB. In that case, dual boot could be done from the remote...
Edit: I couldn't find the "Reboot to recovery" on my box running Android 6.01. Guess that would have made things a bit easier.
