I haven't seen this quote from her, but more than likely they are failing to make the distinction between rooting and an unlocked bootloader. Remember in Android these are two very different things, even if one is usually required to enable the other.

It would be quite easy to detect and block devices with an unlocked bootloader, not so easy to detect and block rooting.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Why would you need a Tegra4 to play MAME? My PC from 12 years ago played these arcade games just fine, as did the Linux-based GP2x handheld from 5 years ago.

And no, most of the buyers will not be 'the rooting crowd'. You clearly far overestimate the number of people who read XDA, or do this sort of thing to their phones and tablets. For every person who preordered and hyped this console, there are 5000 parents with too much money to burn, who don't know anything about video games but will buy this $99 console for their children because it's shiny, new and cheaper than any Sony or Microsoft product. And they won't care about the Play Store either, because as long as the games on the Ouya Store are $5-10 and they can restrict purchasing authorization, that's all they want.

:rolleyes:

I don't like it either, but I'm at least realistic about it. The Ouya makes pretensions of being a "hacker console", but that's all they are. When you scratch the surface, it's still a commercial venture and they really haven't put anything more than a thin veneer of hackability into it. 1x USB port, rooting restrictions, no access to the Play Store.. these are all small things individually but overall they limit your possibilities and ease-of-use. This isn't a Raspberry Pi - it's a GAME CONSOLE. It's designed to sell and make money.
[Ouya General] rushless:
Tegra 3 is slow for a LOT of MAME games that are fast with the A6 (both Android and iOS use same compile of 139.1 ). Since the Tegra 4 is faster with cpu than the A6, the T4 should be a lot better for MAME than Tegra 3.

Games like Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur are examples. They are choppy messes on the Tegra 3.

BTW, even the Tegra 3 is faster than a 12 year old PC with MAME. ;)
[Ouya General] raptir:
You have that backwards. It is incredibly easy to detect a rooted device and I have run into a handful of applications that do so (and pop up with "Rooted devices are not supported"). Google was previously blocking rooted devices from accessing Play Videos. It's actually very difficult to detect an unlocked bootloader from within the booted system and I do not know of any applications that do so.

The key here is that they've said the Ouya will have a "switch" that will allow you to easily root the device. If that's the case they could very easily tell if you're rooted since they're the ones allowing you to do so. Even something like OTA Rootkeeper that allows for a temp unroot would be ineffective. Since the Ouya is going to have official root support, it's very likely that no one will be looking for an exploit to root it outside of the official method.

Unfortunately the quote about rooted devices not having access to the Ouya store was on a web radio interview a long time ago, so it's not easy to just link to an article. Again, they could have changed their stance since then. If this reddit threat is to be believed, then they are at least aware of the desire for rooted Ouya store access and are hopefully going to change their minds.
[Ouya General] amrando:
These are hardly 'MAME' games, these are modern arcade or console ports with a source nearly equivalent to the emulating platform. MAME generally refers to 1980s-1990s arcade boards typically running in the single-digit Mhz, not modern Sega arcade platforms running dual and quad-core Intel-based custom PCs or an XBox360. :p
[Ouya General] rushless:
Not correct with MAME. The games mentioned have been around in MAME for at least five years and play smooth on the most basic of low endd laptops for the past four. Those games play close to smooth on the iPad 4, so should play smoother with chips like the Snapdragon 600 and Tegra 4.

Though a lot less than the A6 chipset, there are still hundreds of later year games that play perfectly on the Tegra 3.

MAME has no specificity to early year rom sets, though those are some of the more fun ones :)

Added:

BTW, the CEO of Ouya clearly stated that they will make a lot of their money via their own market, so that answers the Play market issue. They do NOT want people using other markets as a result. They also mentioned the Kickstart money was taken up with early unit purchases, so very imprtant to start revenue through controllers and app purchases.

Still, the potential of this being a mini MAME cabinet is too good to not consider. Perhaps they have eaked more power for the CPUs since no battery life concerns. With PC's you always have the usual Windows issues, but with Android there is a LOT less issues in that regard. True plug & play.

[Ouya General] rushless:
The gameplay did not look smooth compared to my Excite 7.7, TF 300 or GS3. That said, none are as smooth as the iPad 4.

Another point is that one game is over 1.5GB in size, so 25% of total storage space gone with one game.
[Ouya General] honki24:
I'm an early backer waiting for mine but I'm very sad to see all this. We absolutely must find an unofficial root method that allows Ouya games while srill allowing root and market access. If I have to choose I'll dump the Ouya market for standard android. Please devs help!
[Ouya General] V3TTOO:
Stock images after root?

I read somewhere, which I forgot since I been trying to find something on if root is possible, that the stock system images for OUYA will not be available. Does that mean if we root and put a custom rom, the only way back would be with a self made image?
[Ouya General] TedT100:
External hard drives and flash drives are natively supported I believe.
[Ouya General] suicidal.banana:
To awnser the initial question, yes you can use them, there wont be a play store (untill somebody on xda makes a not sucky user interface ofc) but you can 'sideload' any apk you desire.

Having said that you sadly cannot download APK's directly from google play anymore, but theres several chrome and firefox plugins that will help you with that, also any apk you may have from an Android Humble Bundle (bonus points for buying humble bundles!) should work fine.

Once you have your apk, theres several ways to transfer it, easyest is to plug the ouya into your computer using the provided usb link, then placing your APK files in the found usb device, and then reaching said APKS trough the MAKE menu in the OUYA to install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kayak83:
I have moved all of the .ogg files from the system/media/ui folder related to the camera but the camcorder focus sound still persists.

So far I have moved (to my SdCard for safe keeping):

Auto_focus.ogg

Auto_focus_error.ogg

Cam_Start.ogg

Cam_Stop.ogg

camera_click.ogg

Camera_click_short.ogg

Camera_empty.ogg

camera_focus.ogg

Camera_timer.ogg

Shutter.ogg

Shutter_multiple.ogg

VideoRecord.ogg

Is there a sound in some other folder I'm missing? the focus sound doesn't play on the camera, only the camcorder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kayak83:
Anybody?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] leyvatron:
go to your camera settings and turn your shutter sound off. Auto focus makes no noise and camera pictures doesn't either.

Edit: I see what you mean about the video focus making the noise. You can turn your volume down and itll stop making the noise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kayak83:
I don't have a setting for turning the shutter sound off. I don't have a shutter sound anyway. I disabled it. But the focus sound is still on. I can't find the sound file.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] leyvatron:
Must be a feature on JB11. It turns off the camera but the video still makes the noise.

When I set my phone to vibrate the video focus stops making the noise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
What is the difference between the Android development forum, and the Android original development forum? I cannot find any difference between the two.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUIETLYloud:
it's just as the names imply "original" is built ground up from source, not kanged/themed... some times the simplest answer is the best answer
[Networking] pyroguysf:
I've hopefully narrowed down my problem thanks to a helpful redditor, but am having trouble figuring out exactly what's going on. Basically what happens is I lose communication with Google (no Gmail, appointment reminders, app installs from PC, etc.), and usually have to reboot my phone to get it working again, although very occasionally opening a Google app or toggling airplane will re-connect me. I have a HTC Droid DNA (S-OFF) on ViperDNA 1.2.0 with the included 2.04 OTA kernel, however this issue has persisted across many ROMs and kernels. I've been running "adb shell dumpsys activity service all >services_dump.txt" to see what Google Sync Framework has been doing. Here's where I am now:

I had set a test appointment reminder in Gcal on my PC to go off at 10:20am, which it successfully received at that time. However, I noticed these lines in the log immediately after receiving that notification:

03-13 10:20:03.433 891 891 D GTalkService: [RawStanzaProvidersMgr] searchProvidersFromIntent

03-13 10:20:03.436 891 891 D GTalkService: [RawStanzaProvidersMgr] no intent receivers found

After seeing that, I also noticed I had lost my connection to Google (wasn't getting Gmail). I let my phone sit for an hour, then tried installing Titanium at 11:24 via Play store on PC, and check logs again. Since 10:20 my phone had missed 4 heartbeats, and the only two new lines were a repeat from above right at 11:24. I gave my phone another hour to sit idle, then opened the Play store on it at 12:33, at which point Titanium started installing and I received my missed notifications. I'm not sure what the few lines at 12:15 are from, but there are many more missed heartbeats. I can't really decipher what happened after 12:33, but it seems to still be reporting connection issues and missing more heartbeats.

Up until 10:20, you can see it sent heartbeats as expected, and I was receiving (non-appointment) notifications fine. I've noticed this on multiple versions of Viper and Hatka, and with a few different kernels, although so far my logs have only been collected while running a clean install of Viper 1.2.0. I did not notice this on "pure" stock as I did not have any appointment reminders set during that time, so I am unsure of whether or not this was a problem then. When I first noticed this, the only modification I had done was use jcase's method with HTCdev to unlock the bootloader, but my phone was otherwise still stock.
[Networking] pyroguysf:
Proper functionality *seems* to have been restored! After numerous clean installs of the ViperDNA 1.2.0 ROM, it seems that leaving HTC's Browser and Mail apps (maybe one or two others, I forget) allows a proper connection to Google. I'm assuming that means HTC's apps are too integrated to remove some portions of them. What's really puzzling though, is why I had this issue when I was still stock. The only thing I can think of is that Verizon's OTA kernel update addressed something in the mix.

Any insight still appreciated while I confirm this fix.

Can somebody indicate me the way for getting best perfomance the low devices.

Best regards, Papu Singh

using lg gt540
[GT540 Optimus General] Moster2:
You cant do much, take one of the latest roms like zoe 6.5 or also polish vodkas jellybean. They are both smooth.

Then maybe overclock the cpu to like 750 and take a governor like interactive

Some people say the seeder app might help, but I personally didnt notice any difference
[GT540 Optimus General] shadovraven:
Do the following:

- Install SDSL v4 or AOSP 2.0, not ZOE or any other softmods,

- Do not install any themes or tweaks,

- Do not use swap,

- Install launcher that uses small amount of ram ( Zeam launcher, Nemus Launcher, Lighting Launcher ),

- Enable zram and reduce VM Heap Size to 24 MB or lower,

- Keep number of installed applications as low as possible,

- Install Titanium Backup and freeze all not needed applications that are running in the memory ( example: DSP Manager, Google Search, Email ),

- Install lightweight applications.

This is the best you can do to make this device as fast as possible.
[GT540 Optimus General] Caarihiboz:
Yeah but a rom for games what that can be?
[GT540 Optimus General] shadovraven:

Its completely his choice if he want to ask a question by making a thread or in help thread.

This is a question and answers section so giving a answer is your first priority.

Every new update has stbility fixes and some sort of improvement.

You cant tell its pro's and con's without actually using it. Just give it a try and see it yourself.

Ps. Next time you have a question consider asking it in help thread by deadly instead of making new thread.

That way your chances of getting asnwered increases.

u are insulting the people helping the thread and by no means i see u helping the above ur post

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninja168:
I've had my Xperia Z for 2 weeks and have been happy with it so far. However, I has cause for concern last night when I found it "dead". About an hour prior, I checked to see how much power it still had in order to decide whether to connect it to the charger. I found it still had 76% so decided that I didn't need to. Then an hour later I picked up my phone and found pressing the Power button had no response. It just had a black screen and no lights. I held down the Power button thinking it might have just powered off but also no response. I then connected the charger and waited and holding down the Power button also nothing happened. It just was dead. On previous Android phones I would try taking the battery out but of course couldn't do that with the Xperia Z. It has not been dropped at all and not been rooted so I got worried that it had died within 2 weeks of very little use. I looked online and found someone had a similar problem with an older Xperia (T or maybe U) and they managed to switch their phone back on by holding down the Power and Volume buttons. I tried this and lucky my Xperia Z came back on.

My question is, has anyone here had a similar experience? Or know what could possible have caused it. So far it's been fine today but I am somewhat concerned that it has happened and that it could well happen again. I bought it online from the Three UK website as a PAYG phone. Do you think I should contact them for a replacement or do you think this is a problem with all Xperia Z's or it's firmware.

Thank you.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffordlee:
Hope it's a one-off issue.. Get a replacement it were to happen a few more times again, especially since you're running unrooted on stock! You could try re flashing your firmware using seus to see if that solves your problem, if it's corruption on the firmware/nand side, especially since such sleep of death cases on the xperia z isn't common on the xperia z as of now.
