I have this backed up with adbfire to my computer and when I try to restore this to Kodi 17, it either locks up trying to build the menus or I get partial screens.
How can I restore a backup with Mimic done in 16.1 that is usable in 17? I can not get to where I can install the new Mimic skin for 17 after I restored.
Several things to consider...
The location for skin settings changed in Kodi 17, they are now in the skin's settings.xml.
Will have to check, but I think I changed the the backup function in mimic 4 from the toolbox script to skin helper service.
So you can try to import your backup using the toolbox script's interface (run it from programs). I haven't tested it though, and don't recommend importing settings from prior versions if you can help it. There are a lot of skin settings that change between versions.
