    I do use openElec, but it will stop you from using all other "android" apps!

    You use openElec on X6?
    If yes, how have you installed it?

    TIA!

    I think a lot of users will be interested in running Openelec even if they loose Android.
    The RK3368 chip can also dual-boot Android & Linux, so dual-boot Android/Openelec is a possibility.
    The most popular way to use Openelec is with an AMLogic S805/S812 at the moment but they are much slower than Zidoo X6 and don't support proper 4K video playback.

    If Zidoo can sponsor a skilled Openelec developer(maybe on Openelec forum or Freaktab forum in AMLogic section) a Zidoo X6 & maybe some financial support, I think Openelec support will come much sooner. Zidoo can also do everything themselves as they already have skilled engineers & all the source code & support from Rockchip which an outside developer might need and don't have.

    OK, I just can not understand the logic in running OpenElec and loosing android support.

    If I can be a bit more factual, as I have done some development and technical writing for OpenElec and love the product:
    • OpenElec is geared towards a scaled-down environment.
    • OpenElec is Kodi, just an EARLIER release.
    • OpenElec works out the box (sometimes).
    • Problems is Kodi will also be in OpenElec (specially generic ones)
    • Zidoo is the best at getting the custom Kodi running on the X6 developed, bugged and fixed.
    I personally would not like to loose the Android ability of the box, as I run on various OpenElec platforms and the system is sometimes buggy, to say the least.

    I would, however, suggest a new name for Kodi running on Zidoo to distinguish the difference between a customized Kodi and Kodi itself. BUT, this is for the developers/owners of Zidoo to decide!

    (Maybe something like ZiKoDoo? :)
