[CSI] Community Software Installer 2.6.1 (OLD THREAD)

Code:

- Restart

This option will just restart you NMT



- Clean

This will clean and reinstall the NMT Applications provided by your hardware manufacturer. It will also remove any customizations like themes, custom menu's, wait images etc etc. It will also remove the start_app.sh file. The NMT will download the required NMT Application by itself from the internet (or via USB pendrive). This part is handled by the firmware like you are used to.



- Deep clean

Because after the clean option the individual application files will remain ion your HDD I've provided the option to do a Deep Clean. This option will clean like "Clean" but also moves (not remove!) any non-default folders and files from the top directory from your HDD to a new folder called CleanBackup. It will not touch your media files. This will enable you to review the clean action and if content remove the CleanBackup folder yourself. The default folder which are not going to be moved are: Video, Music, Download, Podcasts, File, Photo. Because it will not remove any files it is a safe option, just make sure you check CleanBackup folder before removing it.



- Install firmware

This will allow you to install a firmware zip file you have downloaded from your hardware manufacturers download section. Thus this will allow you to install an older, newer, custom or even reinstall your firmware.
