    Hi, I have had formuler android boxes for about 4 years now. I am on my 3rd one and was delighted with them until this last update.

    I cannot stand this new layout for the home screen, it's so messy, un intuitive and you have to go searching for things as simple as the power selection. To me it brings the box more in line with the very cheap android tv boxes, they have terrible menus, and are exactly how I find this.

    Everything was right infront of you before, even moving icons around now requires holding the ok button and selecting move, instead of the simple hold down and move.

    How do I change it back to the way it was? It has absolutely ruined my user experience and I now hate using my formuler z11 pro!:frowning_face:

    try hard reset and dont update :thinking_face:

    Sorry to say but you can not go back. Once new Firmware installed, it stays. The recommend from other user is wrong, because even after FR the new Firmware doesn`t change (there is no roll-back possibility and is always visible in each update thread) and this expect to be installed latest MOL3 version again.

    The new style is based on Android TV boxes and was requested by many users. It is understandable that it will take time for users who only knew the old layout to get used to it, but over time they will get used to it. Layout changes are sometimes necessary to make room for other options and to present everything in a compact way. It is clear that not everyone likes it, but sometimes it is necessary.

    I, who like GTV the best, have to say that I think the new home screen on the Z11/Zmini feels better than the previous one. I also understand that some may feel that the previous home screen was lighter but the new one is more in line with an Android TV system that all Android TVs use. It's probably mostly about learning the new look and being open to changes.

    I started out iptv with the z10pro and got used to the traditional Homepage.

    I just reinstalled my z10pro and its still the old Homepage.

    Does anyone know whether the Homepage on the z10 is also going to be updated,like the z11?

    In general i agree with the post by YGA above,in the long run its all a matter of getting used too:smiling_face::smiling_face:

    Also, they implemented the google playstore for androidtv on the z11. Dont know how it is on the z10. But on the Zx, Z7 and Z8 its the "mobile playstore" what didnt always worked out with most apps.

    Is such a great improvement that they do that! With androidtv playstore you can download all apps and they would work on the Z11.

    Great! Happy days.
