+The flashing operation goes as follow:
+  - Install the **Amlogic USB_Burning Tool** software on a Windows machine.
+  - Download and unzip the **firmware image** .
+  - Launch the software and **choose the English language** from the menu; restart the software.
+  - **Open the firmware** image file (the name of the loaded file appears at the bottom of the window).
+  - Uncheck the **Erase bootloader** option.
+  - Click the **Start** button.
+  - On the Tanix device press the **hidden button** into the 3.5 mm AUX audio socket with a **toothpick**.
+  - Keeping the hidden button pressed, **connect the USB cable** from the Windows PC to the USB port. You must use **the USB port near the TF card reader**, the only one that works for this.
+  - The software should make a sound and **display the progress bar** of the burning operation. Keep the toothpick pressed for a few more seconds.
+  - If the flashing operation **does not start**, disconnect the USB cable and try to connect it again.

 Installing packages from F-Droid caused some issues: e.g. install from untrusted sources was disabled for F-Droid, installing Termux was discouraged by Google Play Protect, etc. Finally I was unable to install Kodi from F-Droid at all, the package is installed from the repository but failed to install repeatedly, remaining into an apparent infinite loopp. I resorted on downloading the apk from the PC (choosing the armeabi-v7a architecture) and installing from an USB storage via the file manager.
-Removed app
+=== Removed apps ===
+From the default installation, I removed several apps because they are mainly or exclusively in Russian language or Russia media oriented:
+^ Easy Installer  | Uutility to simplify installing APK packages and add-ons from local storage or URL.  |
+^ VK Video        | A video-streaming platform created by the Russian company VK. It works similarly to YouTube: users can watch, upload, and share videos.  |
+^ Lite HD TV      |  |
+^ SmartTube       |  |
+^ RuStore         | It allows users to download, install, and update Android apps and games, similar to Google Play.  |
+^ RUTUBE          |  |
+^ YoWindow        | Weather and wallpaper app. Available also on the Google Play.  |
+^ TorrServe       | A program that streams video directly from torrent files or magnet links without downloading the entire file first. It is available also on F-Droid.  |
+^ FMPLAY          | Internet radio player. Comes preloaded with many Russian stations; I was not able to custimize the stations list.  |
