try updated kernel with a fresh install.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
Yeah, I kmow it sounds noob but here is the thing.

You do a nandroid backup, then i restore it, simple as it is.

But should i completly do a clean up be4 doing the restore and does the restore be as good as the last time I used it? Or will it have some issues after first restore?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spitwista:
Restoring is better and less work than flashing through odin.

No wipe is neccery with restore..I personaly prefer Twrp cause it saves your efs and modem in seperate partitions for easy restore.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
yes I know, but what are the steps so I can fully restore it as it was before without any bugs or failures.. only tap on restore?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Yes just tap on restore; it automatically wipes and restores each partition you've backed up.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheesha_straw:
in my experience, I always backup the ROM I'm using before flashing any new ROMs

in any ROM backup, I recommend that you checked the boot, system & data (I use TWRP recovery) if you want to revert to it later on

if all three items are checked, you can just restore it & it'll be the same as when you backed it up

as for the wipe, I always wipe (data, cache & dalvik cache) before flashing &/ restore anything, just to be on the safe side
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hyonkiyoo:
Is anyone else noticing a popping or like a hesitation electronic sound like its slowly starting at the beginning of a video when it is played? It has to be a facebook uploaded video, not a youtube link or vimeo link. I have noticed that with Beats audio on or off, it still does it. Appears to be on this app only.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cromo8:
My phone is showing only one and a half GB of RAM has anyone else seen this?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blackangst:
Mine shows that too but if you go to hardware specs on phone it shows 2gb memory. Maybe 500mb is reserved?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] xxjrsmith3xx:
500 is reserved.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] 5odead:
I thought that was the system using the 500

Just downloaded and extracted the Glass XE5 update on my laptop and pulled the sound files to use on my device. Some sound pretty cool and others sound lame.

Anyways, here you go.

[Ouya General] WinDroidGuy:
I've got a bunch of apps working, lets compile a list of working apps.

~Netflix

~Hulu

~Flash Player

~WatchESPN

~Dead on Arrival 2

~Beach Buggy Blitz

~At Bat

~Slingbox

~Adobe AIR
[Ouya General] chrisanthropic:
Other's I've got working:

- Amazon App Store

- Chrome Browser (can't exit without a keyboard)

- Plague Inc.

- Astro File Browser

- XBMC (of course)

Which version of Hulu did you get working?

None of I've tried the latest from the Play Store as well as the "modified" versions available here at XDA and neither of them work for me. The latest one loads the Hulu splash screen and then crashes, the modified ones just show the main screen no matter what I click on.
[Ouya General] madmofo145:
- ES file browser

- GBAoid

- Others mentioned

Have others had good luck with Netflix, while I can make it run I have had no luck with audio. Hopefully we get some official versions of some of these soon.
[Ouya General] tcollum:
Here's a couple on mine:

-Falcon Pro

-Titanium Backup

Edit:

madmofo145: I had netflix up at one point, audio was hit or miss.
[Ouya General] WinDroidGuy:
Haven't had any issues with Netflix, but I didn't really use it all the much either lol
[Ouya General] chrisanthropic:
How about Hulu? ;)
[Ouya General] WinDroidGuy:
It was an old modified apk I made, not the latest but it works. I'll see if I will change the new version of it
[Ouya General] tcollum:
Here's another

-YouTube for Google TV (works great!)
[Ouya General] WinDroidGuy:
I LOVE the UI for YouTube for Google TV...knocks everything else out of the park
[Ouya General] chrisanthropic:
Any chance you could share the modified apk?
[Ouya General] iconoclastnet:
I sideloaded

GTAIII

just to try out the stereoscopic 3d support. It seems to work great, 3d display works, controller works, everything.

Then just for kicks, I gave

quadrant standard

a run too.

Other than that i've only tried the obvious things,

busybox

,

Titanium Backup

, etc.

It seems that all those games that didn't adapt well to having a touch screen and not a controller are the ones I didn't keep around, so now I'll have to go browsing through the play store to find them all again.
[Ouya General] Paulenski:
I would like an copy of that hulu apk too :P

[MENTION=1619054]madmo[/MENTION]fo, with Netflix you need to use the touch pad and click to increase the volume. The bar is not working correctly, at like 80%~ on the bar you get no audio, you move it as high as possible, it then works.
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
I am running NOVA LAUNCHER which now that I finally setup makes the system a lot more accessible. The nice surprise is how well ZEN PINBALL HD plays, the plunger is triggered by the O button not the analog stick. I posted over galcon.com to ask for controller button mapping for DYNAMITE JACK, the directional controls do work already. DRAG RACING also supports the controls for driving.
[Ouya General] elmerohueso:
I didn't even consider this would work. Would definitely like a cleaner launcher.

Do the OUYA games still show up in Nova? Is Nova easily navigated with the controller?
[Ouya General] chrisanthropic:
Yes and yes. Though I find Nova easier to use with the touchpad than the controller itself.
[Ouya General] elmerohueso:
Good to know. Maybe I'll try one of the Windows 8-esque tile-based launchers.
[Ouya General] misfit410:
My MOGA came with Sonic CD and MC4, loaded them both, Sonic CD works flawlessly, MC4 won't launch
[Ouya General] jhitesma:
I tried Zen Pinball HD because I wanted to see if the stereo 3D worked - loaded and ran no problem (runs considerably better than the pinball game in the Ouya store - but no analog for the plunger which is a bit of a bummer.)

And yes the stereo 3D "just worked". My TV detected it and switched into 3D mode without me having to do anything. Only problem was one game of pinball was enough to give me a headache...but that's not the Ouya's fault!
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
Have you tried copying over data files for any other tables? I made my first attempt and now the app crashes at the splash screen.
[Ouya General] jhitesma:
No I haven't. The Ouya is my first tegra device so I haven't used any tegrazone apps before and haven't tried buying any additional tables yet.
[Ouya General] devonthedude:
Anyone figure out how to get Vice City to work, I got Max Payne and GTA III to run great. I cant find a

fully

working psone, sega cd, sega saturn,or genesis emulator(s).
[Ouya General] joelzombie:
RetroArch FTW!

For a good multi-emulator try RetroArch (can't post the link, but it's in Play Store).

I run my PS One, Snes and Nes and some Arcade games perfectly, even CaveStory and Doom run on this emulator!... saddly, it doesn't emulate any Sega console :(
[Ouya General] zdraw:
I was also able to get Retroarch installed (r11, not 12). The controller isn't autodetected yet but someone's posted on the libretro forum with the mappings. I was able to manually enter the bindings for the controller though. The only problem I've had so far is the touchpad crashes it and there's no nice way to exit the game, so there's no way to save your state.
[Ouya General] devonthedude:
Unfortunately retroarch is not fully functional, some of the emulators with in don't work. Every psone/psx emulator i have tried the controller doesnt function properly but the game boots on a few of them. It seems all nintendo emulators work fine.

The ouya seems to like tegra optimized tablet games, most apk's doesn't seem to sideload or run properly.

Oh and The skyrim live wallpaper (tegra one) is awesome on ouya
[Ouya General] misfit410:
I'm dying to see if Kainy works, I know the author is making an Ouya build but god knows how long that will take.
[Ouya General] sonofskywalker3:
I'll try out the demo tonight, but to be honest with you... why would you use the ouya to stream PC games to a tv... I just hook the PC to my tv with HDMI and play with a wireless Xbox 360 controller. No network lag. I guess if you travel a lot it would be pretty cool.
[Ouya General] misfit410:
I have it that way on my downstairs TV, but my main gaming rig is so much better, and I'd not mind playing on my bedroom tv cheaply.
[Ouya General] sonofskywalker3:
Ah, cool. I have all my "geek stuff" as my wife calls it in one room =) Downloading the apk to test now, I'll update later.

Update: Ok, so I loaded Kainy demo and it loaded up, I put in the server info and connected fine, it even moved the mouse around and clicked, but there was no display on the tv. I don't know if this is because I missed a setting somewhere, but I couldn't see any options. My tv's overscan isn't right for the Ouya and I don't know how to fix it.
[Ouya General] coachclass:
I'm researching the Ouya, so please excuse the noob question. From youtube clips I've seen of the Ouya UI, it's pretty sparse. Does the Nova Launcher app allow you to create your own desktop screen on the Ouya?

I'm wondering how you guys are launching the apps after you sideload them. Do you have to go to the developer menu of the Ouya?

I'm looking for a way to make the Ouya more family friendly, so other family members don't have to root around to find the icons they want to launch.
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
That's exactly what Nova does, you can have OUYA boot directly to it. I suggest you try it out another android device to get a feel for it, and you will want to use a mouse to set it up quickly on the OUYA.

You can have any and all apps on the home screens of NOVA including those from OUYA, otherwise you have to use the developer menu.

There is another amazing option as well. The Error454 launcher http://ouyaboards.com/ouya-hacking-modding/749-erro454-launcher.html which will let you add a list of apps that you can launch directly from the PLAY menu. When you click the "launcher" app it simply opens a list of apps of your choice that you can then select from and open. I haven't tried the new update with the edit function, but the original which listed all sideloaded apps works fine.
[Ouya General] coachclass:
Thanks! I'll have to try it on a phone first. Have you tried side loading any apps that come with widgets? If so, do widgets show up ok on the Ouya when using one of the launchers?
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
Widgets can work. Weather widgets I have tried have not worked, some problem with location based services. That may be a simple fix in settings. I do have a cpu monitor from android tuner running.

-DYNAMITE JACK does work using analog stick or d-pad, and in settings you map whatever buttons you like in keyboard shortcut setting.

-SUPER HEXAGON also works with stick or d-pad.

Both APKs are from Humble Bundle and that app works as well.
[Ouya General] r_idn:
some of the apps i installed:

Spotify

Nova (already mentioned)

Apex Launcher

Go Launcher

ES File Explorer

Onlive

HBO GO

Chrome

AirDroid
[Ouya General] d-shade:
Also from the humble bundle

Another World - Works with controller buttons (menu and game)

Metal Slug 3 - Works with controller buttons (menu and game) Update: Just noticed that you can't continue once you die. Just FYI

psx4droid - works (tested with Einhander and Omega Boot) also used onscreen Select and Start(compensating for missing buttons)

The humble bundle app does work on the Ouya but it is a little weird to navigate. Having to scroll with the d-pad then select items with the trackpad is a bit weird. Scrolling is also weird as you don't know who far you are until the page decides to scroll.

Also the humble bundle Plants vs. Zombies, Raiden Legacy, Beat Hazard Ultra, Dungeon Defenders,Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, don't have controller support. They load but you are forced to use the track pad which makes them unplayable and Bladeslinger crashes after the unity logo.

Can all the info that is being posted be added to the first post so it will be easier for others to find. It may also stop duplicate apps from showing up.
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
That is why I put the apps in all caps, to make scanning easier. That would probably be best practice in general.

It would also be best if everyone commented on whether or not apps were actually functional after being installed. Not that they simply opened. For example, many people have HBO Go as a working app, but I was unable to log in to my FIOS, making it useless. If others have logged in, let us know what provider.
[Ouya General] Kaos2K:
Not sure if already posted but File Manager HD (Tablet) works flawlessly with the Ouya controller (Better than ES File Manager).

Another must-have is RootExplorer (To copy/delete files and change permissions in protected areas). Offcourse it requires root to use its interesting functions.
[Ouya General] kpjimmy:
I installed an old Amazon app store apk that was used in the HTC One threads. I was able to install a bunch of apps using the touch pad. However, only a few games I tried worked. Like 9 INNINGS and PLASMA SKY. I haven't tried all my FAOTD apps yet but I'll update once I find working ones.
[Ouya General] anantshri:
I have been trying a lot of games most of them crash either due to some google ads realted dependencies or something else. if i get some time over weekend i will try to get some logcats out for the crashing games.

for me following works.

Metalslug 3

Shadowgun : change configuration to controller, you need to set your own keys.

Turbofly HD

LightRacer 3D.

however i am not able to use aptoide or amazon : the application opens but if i try clicking on any application in the menu they just crash. : I know logcat would help but didn't got the chance to run it yet,
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
Aptoide is strange. I couldn't get it to work at all and uninstalled it, but then when I returned to my home screen I noticed it had actually installed one app
[Ouya General] Pithism:
hey where is everyone going to get apps so we can sideload them into ouya? are peopling making copies from their phones app list and moving them to the ouya?

[Ouya General] dibblebill:
How did you get Shadowgun to run? I get stuck on 'Begin Download' but it'll never go further.
[Ouya General] Kaos2K:
I think that only the expansion of Shadowngu, "The Leftovers" is currently working on Ouya.
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
Okay. Did I miss something somewhere, also, because none of my apps with external data will donwload? I'm about to install the Play Store to see if that helps

EDIT: It also says "The Leftovers" up at the top of the screen. No clue. GOing to tinker with it and come back later

EDIT 2: Testing Real Racer 3 now... Its downloading the data, so I think that my previous troubles may be w/ the Google Play store. It doesn't work so I'm instlaling framework for it. EA games download from their servers.

[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
So simply having play store installed even though it doesn't run is allowing some drm protected games to run?

As for the Google framework, you should look in to the Roms puerile are working on in order to try and get that working.
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
Unsure. Several of my other DRM'd apps aren't running at all. I've been thus far unsuccessful in logging into the Google Accounts system on the device. Will check those out.

EDIT: An update on RR3. I've applied my saved game from the tab, but so far no luck navigating the menus at all.
[Ouya General] anantshri:
That might be the case for me begin download works for shadowgun but only the expansion pack is working fine.

to click begin download i have to use the pointer.

also i have installed vending apk i.e. google play although it doesn't work.

i am yet to slip in complete set of gapps and see what happens.
[Ouya General] DoctorOhh:
Add Veetle to the list of apps that work.

Is anyone able to log into YouTube and if so how?
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
I've thus far been unable to get any Google Apps to log in to Google
[Ouya General] DoctorOhh:
This person on another forum indicated he has been able to log into Google Music.

When asked how he got the "necessary Google Account stuff installed" he said:

*** work around for not being allowed to add links due to fewer than ten posts.
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
I see. Unfortunately, he was answering an earlier response about TiBa not working completely (I've already got it on mine). I've had no luck setting up Google Accounts yet. I may put in CWM and flash the entire GApps package, using ES File Explorer/TiBa to kill unwanted components.
[Ouya General] WinDroidGuy:
I had GApps working, but each update everything gets removed and it's a hassle to restore everything. I just stopped using it for now, but it does work well.
[Ouya General] tcollum:
That person would be me. The link he (and I) shared is to a tutorial to get Google Music working.
[Ouya General] mybook4:
Netflix works on the 298 update.
[Ouya General] synplex:
I posted this somewhere else maybe you guys can help

So when I got my Ouya first thing i Installed was Astro File Manager (which isnt very Gamepad friendly). With Astro I installed, Dead Trigger THD, Sonic Ep.2 THD, Riptide GP THD, Amazon app store, GBA.Emu, and File Manger HD. None of the THD Games work. I got them from my Asus Transformer Prime. The THD apks worked on my Prime but not on my OUYA (most wont even start up, Riptide freezes at title). The Amazon app store and GBA.emu work great, but File Manager wont even start up either.

I mentioning this apps/games because others on XDA/Ouya Forums seem to have them working.

What versions are you using and did you install them differently??

Please let me know. Thanks
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
Did you copy over the additional data files?
[Ouya General] pmco:
What version of Netflix are you using? Mine doesn't allow pausing without going back to the browse screen, and I couldn't scroll down in a show detail screen (The Walking Dead, could not scroll down, so only the first 5 episodes of season 2 were visible).
[Ouya General] mybook4:
Sound works. I use the track pad on the controller to navigate. I'm sure they would need to make an Ouya friendly version to properly use the controller, but at least it's watchable now.
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
F.Droid and Quake 2 (downloaded via F.Droid) work well.

However, I need to find a way to do controller bindings for Quake 2

Dungeon Defenders downloads, install,s and runs beautifully but no controller support
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
Wow! How come I had never heard of F-Droid before?
[Ouya General] lovekeiiy:
I got around to fiddling with the Ouya and ADB setup.

1) ES File Explorer

2) BusyBox and BusyBox Pro

3) itanium Backup, but not the Pro license. It's not able to confirm the license; I assume this is because of no Google or Play Store access.

4) Voodoo Rootkeeper. don't know if it actually works, but does detect root and makes backup.

5) SuperSU and SuperSU Pro (chainfire). This one was tricky. I had to install it with Kush's SuperUser installed. SuperSU will detect SuperUser and ask to Uninstall because of potential contflcts. I granted permission. It then closes and went back to ES File Explorer and asked for Root Permission. So I don't know if SuperUser and SuperSU use the binary or not, but I suspect this is the case. I did shut down the Ouya (even uplugged it) and turned it back on with no problems. One XDA person said the Ouya softbricked on him after installed SuperSU.

6) GTA3. Had to copy the obb file over from another android device. APK installs, but app fails when trying to download the additional files; when I think are just cutscenses.

7) 6) GTAVC. Same thing as GTA3.

8) OnLive. Installs and the Ouya controller works with it. Unfortunately, it looks like I got a bad Ouya controller. But with no start or select button, it can be a big issue with some games. The OnLive Universal Controller works on the Ouya. On non-OnLive games, it's hit and miss. It worked with GT3, but not Chrono Blade. Also, the select button acts just like the start button. Thus, could be issue, such as GTA3, the select button is the maps button Navigation within Ouya, the universal controller worked fine.

9) Plex. No issues that I noticed. Plays MKVs fine. Played Revision3 channel with no issue. Navigation seems to work ok with the controller. The Ouya button brings up the menu so settings, offline, and so forth are still accessible Used Plex version 3.0.9.11. I didn't try syncing anything or other features.
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
BubbleUPNP and MX Player work great using the Play Store APK files
[Ouya General] Skoodge:
I tried Modern Combat 4 and even made sure to include the obb files and the game doesn't start, it just flickers on the screen. Too bad because I would have loved to play this game on Ouya.
[Ouya General] bmayne:
Has anyone tried order and chaos?
[Ouya General] rushless:
Commendable, but considering the game will eat over a third of the storage, seems futile unless planning on app juggling, or just a few games at a time. Until an external app solution is created, Gameloft games seem almost pointless. Ditto for the newer EA and both GTA games.
