If you mistakenly uninstalled or deleted an app from your android box then here is how you can restore (re-install) the app within your android box. In case you find it difficult to follow the textual instructions we have also a video tutorial at the end of the instructions.
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

Here is the video tutorial on How To Reinstall An Uninstalled App Within Android Box:
I accidentally uninstalled Netflix on my X96. Tried to follow your instructions and failed, mainly on trying to navigate the file system. However, I came right. I simply reset the X96 to factory default and got Netflix back. I’d like to suggest you add this as a step, before trying the rest.
Thank you for a suggestion. Much Appreciated!
Thank u so much KB. Today, my daughter mistakenly uninstalled Netflix App on our tv. So, we went to play store to reinstall it but the app doesn’t exist there anymore. I called our Internet provider, Videotron but was not able to help me. Instead, Videotron staff asked me to call Samsung TV but was not able to help me too. Samsung sfaff asked me to call Netflix & the same thing happened. Netflix staff asked me to communicate to Android TV Box staff. So, I sent a messege to them but to this time haven’t heard from them. I spent the whole afternoon asking for help from all our provider but to no avail. Tonight, I decided to check on Google then voila I found u. Just in a few minutes I was able to reinstall the App. I wonder why no one from our provider was able to help us with this. Again, thank u so much. Such a big help.
