Not as far as I know. You would need to uninstall all apps and then re-install them in the order you want. With my rooted TVPad I can see that there is an applications.xml file which contains the order of the apps, so I assume that you could also modify this XML document to change the order of the apps.
Thanks for your quick reply Phantoman. I assume to access the applications.xml file the devices needs to be rooted right? You mention under the Hacking Info section that you can view the channel the tvpad is showing in VLC, but is that only if the device is rooted?
If you mean port 2009, then that's not the correct port. It's higher than that, at least on my TVPad. Oh btw, the port is only open when you are playing one of the streams on your TVPad.
Full list of ports ? There should only be 4 listening ports and the last one is for streaming on your PC. Well good luck with that I have been stuck there for like ages, until they released this new firmware that allowed me to use an alternative -cool Edit: If you are already on firmware 2.72, then you are on your own. If not, then PM me and I might be able to help you out.
PM you. If i am right, i guessed you unpacked the firmware file then added the root files in there then repacked it then flashed your tvpad with the edited firmware?
-Got in (thanks for Phantoman 's help) but don't know how to use busybox commands -next step customising apps and see if it's able to add custom channel sources
Yay! I'm finally not the only one on this world who got root access Btw, there is nothing really special about BusyBox, you just need to know a bit of Linux to work your way through it. For example try executing the command "ps -ef" to see all the running processes and their full command-line parameters. Or "netstat -napl | grep LISTEN" to see all the ports that are listening. I definitely recommend you to learn the basics of Linux before you go wild and brick your TVPad
Interesting to read you have root access to your TVPad and love to hear your findings. I've been using the TVpad to stream to my iPad. I created a .strm file with the IP and port that the TVpad uses and simply use XBMC to connect to the .strm file and it plays whatever the TVpad is showing perfectly.
How do you handle the changing port though ? You scan each time the port changes ? Or does your TVPad use the same port all the time ?
No the port changes for me too but so far (maybe just coincidence) it is only between xxx4-xxx7 so I have .strm files: xxx4.strm, xxx5.strm etc and open each until it plays. Do you have a far bigger range? I guess you can easily write a script which scans the port, then creates a .strm file with the correct details.
I have seen a port as high as xx22 I need to find out if there is a way to create a playlist within a .strm file. I still use an old XBOX1 with XBMC on it. My Windows HTPC also uses XBMC at the moment, but it's in the same room as the TVPad, so no need to stream it from there.
Oh but what is your lowest? xx00? Creating a playlist is interesting. Editing a .pls file with each .strm in should work. But not sure if it hits a wrong port will it stop the playlist or skip to the next.
If it's like Window playlists, then it should continue to the next one. I'm going to research that and see. And yeah, the lowest port seems to be xx00 or xx01.
For me the port always +1 every time i change channel . Edit: and it always start from xxx1 (for me) Edit 2: every time you change an app it starts form xxx1 again Edit 3: VOD apps uses a different range of ports (higher)
