[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gelo01:
Nope.. just sense 4+. Android 4.1.1. Btw, i tried installing the apk inside the zip file, yep it did installed properly but when i select the widget it just says "problem loading widget". I thought it was just that simple.. :p

Anyway, what is vrtheme?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thoughtlesskyle:
basically it modifies the apk existing already on the system, so for example 4.2 sense 5 might have the same widget but since it's upgraded firmware the apk in this zip might not work or FC, so the VR theme would decompile the apk replace any of the changed files then recompile the apk in line so it works on any number of devices/roms/ect
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gelo01:
I see.. for me it's not that easy since i'm still new to this. Anyway, could you do that vrtheme to make the apk work with the One S? That would really be great, since i can't find in the playstore the exact look of the widgets in sense5.. maybe the only way is to port the widgets directly from the files from the One.. :)

I'm looking forward to the vrtheme you would be making. Thanks so much. Kudos to you! :thumbup::cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thoughtlesskyle:
No you would need sense 5 and the existing apk for it to work
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gelo01:
Oh i see.. so i need to be on a sense 5 based ROM to be able for the vrtheme you will make to work properly.. but sad to say as of now, there isn't any stable sense 5 ROM for One S.. most of them are still on beta stage that's why i'm still with Viper. But, is there any way that the vrtheme you'll make will work on sense4+? Or is it really impossible?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thoughtlesskyle:
Not really for a few reasons if you can't get the needed apk to work is one of them and also any of the existing stuff for sense 4+ uses htcs proprietary file format

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] NinjaDonkey:
You MUST get the latest version of Sprice Backup. You probably have version 2. You need at least Version 3.

This attachment will fix your problem about not being able to receive any SMS messages but will clear out your existing SMS messages (and possibly all of your e-mails too but I don't know).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulSmasher:
Hi,

I have a weird issue, I hope you guys can help me.

While my phone is staying idle, after a while, even when there is no notification, the screen half-lights up after a random period, and stays like that until I press the lock button.

Has anyone experienced it? What could be the issue? May there be a setting misconfiguration?

Also, may that be related to WiFi?

I'm on stock Rom with latest update.

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodsGift:
I get the same thing on stock ROM, with wifi off, bluetooth off, samsung wallpapers lock and home.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
Probably a dodgy app.

Check wakelocks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoulSmasher:
Where can I check the wakelocks? Do I have to dig each installed apps separately?

Edit: Will this work?

[Ouya General] Blackwolf10:
i have to say i agree with you i always knew the idea of a android console is useless because the games are no difference than for example on a galaxy s3 or something and a phone is portable and u can also plug a phone to a tv for mirroring and put a game controller on it and your set to go
[Ouya General] GizmoTheGreen:
I don't really agree, I think it's a really good product, it's much cheaper than a phone and allows those with bad economy to still be able to enjoy the high end games from the android world. not to mention without the hassle of getting a gaming controller hooked up and/or video out, not all phones have it.

also the forum is not dead, there's been plenty of activity considering how many have the ouya at the time of writing O.o we already have a CWM port. roms are in the works. we have root/superuser app guides and XBMC apk sideloading. for 99 usd it's definately worth it.
[Ouya General] PodCulture:
Wow...I dunno about flaming, but as one of the backers I've got to disagree totally. Other than getting my Ouya a wee bit later than I would have expected, I'm quite satisfied with mine and my experience with it. I think that once it hits retail and more folks actually HAVE the device then activity on these forums will pick up. At 99 bucks it is a very afordable tinkering device.

I've no clue where you get the logic that they took advantage of or owe anything to the community. Backers paid their money and have either already received their Ouya or will shortly. Any rough edges with the software will (hopefully) mostly be smoothed out by the time the device hits actual retail. Remember those of us who have it are pretty much beta testers right now.

Heck...I like mine so much I'm kind of regretting not backing a 2nd unit or the limited edition one!
[Ouya General] sonofskywalker3:
Well you also are entitled to your opinion, but as one of those people who "can/would hack such a device", I've gotta say you're wrong on that particular "fact". Development is limited to a few individuals, but we're moving full steam ahead, already have CWM working thanks to mybook4 and I just minutes ago finished building my first Alpha of CM10. So before you pop in just to troll, how about you do just a little bit of poking in the development section so you know what you're talking about. I was surprised to see this post was from you, I thought a veteran like yourself would be more open minded.
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
My phone is a phone, perhaps you don't get many phone calls or text messages, fortunately I do.

If I did want to use my phone as a console I would have to buy a hdmi adapter,hdmi cable and a controller. So the economic argument doesn't hold any water.

No need to flame, your logic is flawed and your research non existent.
[Ouya General] professorpoptart:
Sounds like the same arguments I heard for why tablets will never make it... and everyone and their mother now has one... or two. Its a little early to be a negative nancy when the thing isn't even avaliable in stores yet.
[Ouya General] trogdan:
The most valuable part of the ouya is not the hardware, although, a Tegra 3 (optimized thx to active heat-sink and 'unlimited' power), 1GB RAM, and 16GB flash with a wireless control for $100 is pretty damny competitive. If you consider the controller at $20-$25 that means the console is going for about $75.

No, the real value in Ouya is the work their team has done to pull together Indie gaming developers into a Steam-esque group targeting a fairly consistent hardware platform on a fairly fragmented OS that is android. By getting gaming companies and others to sign up with Ouya, there is an arguably simpler way to get games published, advertised, and consumed for android.
[Ouya General] thinkgreenn:
I have a high end laptop and pc. I have a Galaxy note 2. My girlfriend owns a S3.

My ouya arrived yesterday, and i have to say i am loving it so much. To what you said.. i can't really agree with you.

I am not saying this to justify the product but for the prize tag i found my money well well spend.. its just like professorpoptart said.

Its almost the same argument
[Ouya General] SixSixSevenSeven:
At that price it would make a neat little media centre in my opinion, if not for the fact my main pc is connected to the tv already.
[Ouya General] tennisbgc:
Really? at least give them a chance. Kickstarters are finally starting to recieve there's. At least wait till it goes on retail to down the product. Personally I just got mine for xbmc and emulators and im quite pleased with it sure it has its issues but with the openness of it at least you wont be at the mercy of company to fix things like another device I bought awhile ago (boxee box)
[Ouya General] rainabba:
The irony here (aside from you missing my point entirely) is that you're making my point for me. "everyone and their mother now has one... or two [tablets]"... that are more powerful than the Ouya, can also be paired with any number of controls, connected to their TVs, and run all the same games Ouya can.

Why buy another device (even if it's "only" $100) that's inferior hardware? :)
[Ouya General] rainabba:
Ok, so let's say you're right. They're likely able to sell the hardware that cheap because they're getting it practically free (it's already basically obsolete hardware which is half my point). Why buy another device, that's already obsolete, to play games I could play on my newer, better devices?

I can think of one reason; because Ouya's game library won't be available for regular Android devices and if that's true, then I might as well buy a real console that's magnitudes more powerful OR just play games on the web (since WebGL + my PC, tablet, or phone is already more powerful than the Ouya).

On the other hand, if they do share the games, I'm back to my first point; why buy obsolete hardware to play on when I can use hardware I already have, that's more powerful?

As for your disagreement; of course you disagree. As you said, you're a backer and the reality is that unless you're part of a very small minority of people on this planet, you now have to contend with

cognitive dissonance

and all my logic and rational arguments mean nothing in light of that :)

On that note, I'm going to sit back and watch everyone try to convince themselves of how wrong I am and see if anything interesting comes of that conversation.
[Ouya General] rainabba:
For use as an "Open Google TV-type" hardware platform, I would be interested but my Vizio Co-Star does such a good job now (for $100) but instead of focusing on a GPU and controller (which I already have thanks to my PS3 Six-axis controllers laying around), it focused on the remote which is phenominal. I'd love to see that platform opened up, even with it's weaker specs (by the way, 1GB of ram for an "Android gaming console" is laughable when it's meant to serve 1080p gaming).

My original point stands. The Ouya, as a gaming platform, is little more than a scam or pet-project and the latter is fine by me so long as they're honest about it.
[Ouya General] tennisbgc:
I was looking into that player but the lacking of local media made me go this direction.
[Ouya General] TadeoNYC:
Most people I know either own a iPad or Kindle. I have a galaxy tab 2 which is most definitely not more powerful than an Ouya. There are only a handful of tablets that are more powerful than the OUYA and they are not mainstream devices.
[Ouya General] rainabba:
Off topic but if I understand you correctly, it sounds like you may not realize but would want to know that the Vizio co star has mass storage support through USB.
[Ouya General] madmofo145:
Once it's fully working I expect this will become a pretty good little media box, but outside just netflix etc, it is also a great little emulation device, may have a couple fun games, etc. As an open platform it may end up much better then any roku, Apple TV, or other box. Is it a perfect device? No, but until it's actual release I'm no where near calling it worthless.
[Ouya General] thinkgreenn:
If you could show me to a few tablets that are more powerful then the ouya at a reasonable prize ($100-$150)

Then please show me.. i would love one
[Ouya General] GizmoTheGreen:
that also has the hdmi out he's talking about. not many do, and if they do they're in the 400-600 usd pricerange as far as I've seen. unless they're some cheap china thing. in which case they are far from high end and it would look much more clunky having a hacked up setup with a tablet dangling around the TV. the ouya is a much more cleaner solution fit for the task. and it's cheap :)
[Ouya General] rainabba:
I didn't say anything about a "reasonable price" though there are plenty out there with comparable specs in that price range.

I did ask why I would buy more hardware which is inferior to what I already have (like my Nexus 10, my HTC DNA, or my GS4). Make sense?

EDIT: Out of curiosity, I spent 2 minutes on Amazon and found:

Acer Iconia A110 7in
[Ouya General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The a110 is 1.2ghz as opposed to the ouyas 1.7 and has no HDMI out yet costs nearly twice as more as an ouya.

Face it. You cannot find a device as powerful as the ouya at that price. The only tablets which come close for performance cost far more than the ouya does.
[Ouya General] htc-rocks:
Add to that the fact that the controller, which I think is great by the way, accounts for almost half of the cost of the system.

Also, I've tried linking phones and tablets to a tv by hdmi before and the results are usually poor.

My SE Arc S was ok for picture quality but the lag was a joke for gaming. The picture quality after linking my Note 2 to my tv via hdmi is terrible full stop.

Alot of Ouyas critics say that you can "just" link your phone/tablet to a tv and away you go. I wonder how many people have who say that actually tried "just" doing that and were happy with the results? I tried it and find the ouya a much more elegant solution.

And this forum is quiet because next to nobody has an Ouya yet, fairly obvious?
[Ouya General] coachclass:
I also have my main PC connected to the TV. It was awesome, and it's still great. But after I tried XBMC and saw how absolutely pretty it was, how much fun it could be to pick out movies/TV shows, I'm now dissatisfied with not having a dedicated XBMC setup.

Windows explorer is just not a very good way to pick media. I'm always the one that has to go through the folders and tell my wife what's available, and then she'll ask what that movie is about, and then I'd have to IMDB it. All that is done automatically with XBMC, with pretty backdrops. It feels like Redbox/netflix interface that's easy to navigate from your couch.

Maybe I'm spoiled. I have all the capability I need, but now I want a better, more polished interface.
[Ouya General] thinkgreenn:
Amen to coachclass :angel:
[Ouya General] madmofo145:
I think this is the main point that, my girlfriend has a roku, it does what it does fine but it's far from perfect. If we get official Netflix support among some other media services, optimized for the Ouya, then combined with XBMC this blows her roku out of the water. This is not a tablet replacement, this is a box which will permanently attach to a TV, that will compete with other boxes that do that, and right now this is the highest speced, most open version of that kind of technology out there.
[Ouya General] rainabba:
I'm going to use your post to clarify something. I never said the Ouya was or should be a tablet replacement but I've seen a few posts that seem to imply I said something like that.

What I've said, is that if someone already owns a powerful Android device (doesn't matter if it even has a screen, let alone be a tablet) that has BT and HDMI, then the Ouya seems like wasted money because I can connect a controller to such a device, connect it to my TV and game (or watch Netflix, Vudu, etc....). It would be another device to buy, install maintain, and depreciate rapidly. If I use another device which I have already purchased, maintain, and will get updated, then I spend less money, do less work, and continue to be able to do all the things the Ouya does, but better.

Regardless of how amazing the Ouya is and how cheap they've made it (even if it was free), all these points stand on their own. Having to set my device down and plug it in is not exactly an effort compared to the money, space, and setup time (and the cycle which must keep happening to upgrade the Ouya as apps evolve and require more powerful hardware. My phone and tablet already get upgraded/purchased, maintained, etc... because they're key to my daily flow.

What can the Ouya do that I cannot already do with them? I guess that's the bottom line.

Hope that clears any confusion regarding mentions of tablets related to my posts.
[Ouya General] GizmoTheGreen:
A controller, and exclusive, or exclusive versions of, games that support it. it's a console, a smooth experience as such, not a hacked together setup with a phone or tablet attached to a tv with special apps to allow gamepad input into games that are mainly touch input based.

it's a console, that's what differentiates it, and it has exclusive games and excited developers (read: companies) that back it and develop games for it, some are already done (over a 100?) and others are still in the works. and more will come. not to mention alot of games works already

(ofcourse you can still play touch based games with a mouse, I played Valkyrie Crusade yesterday and it's a much better experience than on a tablet for the same price.

and thanks to the price it's a very attractive device.
[Ouya General] asanz00:
For me and for what im investigating now, ouya is not just a console, i think it is also a media manager for tv, you can also use nearly all android programs and also is compatible with all usb devices i have tried for now.
[Ouya General] coachclass:
Part of the reason why the Ouya is marketed as a gaming console is because if it were marketed as a media player, most people won't know what the hell to do with it.

If you look at the Roku, it's markted as a "youtube, netflix, hulu" player. The general public need specifics - "media player" is too vague. It's like marketing the Ouya as a "computer" - that would be way more accurate a description, but people wouldn't know what to do with it.

But when something like the Roku is marketed as a netflix, hulu. etc.. player, it also comes with limitations. Roku is ONLY a netflix, hulu, youtube player, nothing MORE.
[Ouya General] asanz00:
Yap, one thing is how is marked to match with public and another thing is what you can do with it
[Ouya General] gfdsaorg:
I've voted with my wallet for ouya as idea. If another similar idea pops up on kickstarter I'll do that again. I have two small kids that like to spend time playing and they are too small to spend hours in one game. Giving them a console full of simple, free or cheap games does just what they need.

And whoever is playing black ops or whatever creeds every night with friends and a $200 headset probably should go and by himself the new Xbox and some $50+ games.
[Ouya General] Prodepressiva:
the forum is only dead because not every backer has its OUYA yet.

We in Germany just got ours this week.

And it already made me spend 20$ on games in 2 days so for me what they are doing is working.
[Ouya General] rainabba:
I'm wondering if this guy is following this thread :)

This is pretty revealing too. Where's all the media-player-type functionality (or did I miss something significant)?
[Ouya General] The Old One:
I'm unlikely to spend $600 every year upgrading my droid 4 or tablet to run new apps but I could spend $100 on ney ouya. I could also overclock the ouya and hook up a bigger better heatsink/fan to keep up and can't do that on my phone/tablet.

Time will prove you are totally wrong...
[Ouya General] johnq54:
I just got my shipping notice yesterday. How can you call this forum dead when the community will probably double in the next month?

Come mid July, if you can make this same argument, I'll listen.
[Ouya General] Eujin:
My Ouya, as of friday, has become a You Don't Know Jack device.

And what's better, it's not even the weird Facebook YDKJ that got released for android. The Ouya version is pretty much identical to the PS3 version.

Also, if you load XMBC or Plex on it, it works as a fantastic media player. (You'll want the beta version of XMBC with hardware acceleration, once you've got that, 1080p video plays perfect, even streamed.)
[Ouya General] DoctorOhh:
When I backed this I had three things in mind, retro gaming, media player and tinkering. Specifically I was looking to get the Veetle app (which works fine on my Ouya), Youtube (which works fine) and XBMC. Since then I have turned to the possibility of making this my UK TV device utilizing BBC iPlayer app and ITV Player app and a dedicated vpn (set on the Ouya and not via my router). This gives me a low power device dedicated to media streaming and ideal for retro gaming (I'm 53).

Since I have a Roku instead of XBMC I will most likely keep using Plex via Roku (1 year ago Plex wasn't up to the job, now it is) and experiment with XBMC.

I've only had my Ouya for two full days and I can say this box is $99 dollars worth of fun all day long, let the tinkering begin. :)
[Ouya General] timkd127:
Pretty much this. Even if the ouya never turns into a economic power house, I still think it will find a cult following amongst hobbiest and professional developers. Especially those in the android community, which probably goes without saying. As far as this forum being dead, thats probably just because the retail version of the console isn't out yet.
[Ouya General] :
I'll toss in that I don't really play much in the way of games, so the Ouya was primarily supposed to replace an aging and flailing Logitech Revue. For those purposes, it's quite good. But I'll also submit I like to tinker with devices, so my use case isn't exactly what marketing had in mind.
[Ouya General] NssOne:
It actually kind of is because throughout their KS campaign they always went on about how they were designing it on an open-ended platform; that people could mess around with it without voiding their warranty and that it would be easy to take apart. I know that's hard to sell to the general public, but it should still makes it more appealing to the those that mod Android devices.
[Ouya General] dibblebill:
Know why this forum is "dead"?

The device isn't released for retail for 2 more weeks.

That being said, I love my Ouya. Real Racer 3 at least ran a race enough to see what graphics this device can do (arguably looked as good as release-era 360 games, RR3 did
[Ouya General] DivinityCycle:
Seriously.I didn't even know this forum existed until a couple weeks ago when I got my "Your Ouya is shipping" email and began prepping to mess around with it.

Just got mine on Friday, and its awesome, and now here I am, posting in here :P
[Ouya General] :
Don't get me wrong, they did talk a lot about the hackability of the platform, and I think that got sold to any number of enthusiasts (after all, look at the posters here). My point is that most of the marketing was pretty dead-set focused on games. We didn't see too much talk about XMBC (outside of one Kickstarter update) or Netflix, or YouTube. The focus was on games-- the controller, the store, the developers, etc.

Not that that's a bad thing, and I think most casual users will actually enjoy this console for what it is. But I would argue that they really were quite focused on the gaming aspect in their campaign. In Q&A sessions and interviews, you saw the hackability idea played up a lot more.
[Ouya General] KyleK29:
Could care less about the gaming - heck, I may even sell the controller. I just wanted it to be a Android TV box since DishAnywhere can work on it. $99 is about what you'd pay for a no-name China based one that isn't quite as powerful.
[Ouya General] degeneration:
I have already had a few days worth of fun on it, and excited to use it for a few fun party style games. I am a nerd like that, but it's actually more fun than I thought it would be. I was recently thinking "why did I even back this..." then it was out of the box for maybe a few hours and I was having a blast. I also didn't like the "no development" comments. Maybe not here, but there's a lot of neat stuff going around online that you can do with it. To each their own I guess.
