Android TV box - USB only working with stock launcher

[fafler]

Hi. I have a BBK Bittorent box running Android 4.0.3. It has a terrible stock launcher with uneditable shortcuts to now-removed bloatware. The browser has Internet Explorer icon. It's that bad.

The problem is that if I change to another launcher like Nova or Apex, everyting works fine right away, but USB stops working after rebooting the device. Change launcher back to stock, USB starts working again.

The internal WIFI is a Realtek USB device, so I'd like to get it to work. The device is rooted and I have installed a SSH server and looked around in the configuration files, but I have not been able to find the reason why.

dmesg | grep -i usb
Output is the same for each boot up, no matter which launcher I use
