If you plan on streaming content via any of the Kodi addons we recommend using a VPN. A VPN will anonymize your online activity, protect you from spying ISPs, and allow you access to geo-blocked add-ons and content.
We personally use IPVanish VPN and highly recommend it. You can sign up for IPVanish VPN here or if you want to know more about why to use a VPN with Kodi click here

usb backup/restore addon on my android device does not appear to write data
on the device . I have written apk packages and installed kodi . Ive used the system settings to
see the device as external memory – On the pc I can see its got loads of capacity.
the device has a light which shows no active transsfer. I.m sure its something simple.
really frustated .

Hello Dave,
The Android version you are using might not be allowing you to take backup on external devices like USB stick. This is a compatibility issue with higher versions of Android after KitKat. So try to take backup on your local android storage and then transfer the Backup file from internal storage to an External device through Es File Explorer.
