Hi everyone, I remember reading a few pages back, someone mentioning the skin kept resetting itself, I just had the same unfortunate situation. Tried to add a widget to my homescreen and suddenly I got the welcome setup screen. Everything was black since all my widgets pointed to TheMovieDb Helper..
Luckily (I thought) I just made a skin backup a few hours before, so restored that. Brought back my homescreen widgets but all my hub widgets were still gone, as well as all skin settings were still back to default..
Figured I would restore the full backup that I made, also a few hours earlier. First got an error message saying the zip location was not available or something, but then it ran anyway. Afterwards I restarted kodi and noticed nothing had changed, still no widgets and still the default skin settings.
Was really happy with Nexus until now, it is crazy fast compared to Matrix but I guess it still has some bugs, at least on Android (Shield user). So I guess I will have to spend a few hours again setting everything back up, fml. If anyone had a similar experience and found a solution, please let me know!
Edit: Found a post on Reddit from someone with the same problem. They were given the advice to open the zip folder and copy the folders over manually. So I cleared all data, uninstalled, then reinstalled, and copied all the files from the backup folder to the kodi folder, and it worked! So the backup function of the backup addon works, it's just the restore function that is broken apparently. I think I will just make a copy of the .kodi folder as a backup manually going forward, just to be safe.
