I had to use Rom Manager because I don't have a usb keyboard, so need rom manager to automate the installing of a zip file for me in recovery. I don't know why it worked the 3rd time I tried it but it did. But then I realized I wiped data so I am not connected to the Ouya store. Oh well, I don't really have a use for it at all.

If I wanted access to the Ouya store back how would I go about doing that?
[Ouya Android Development] Hogman500:
I managed to repair my system I didn't realize that in cwm my phone would be recognised as a different device anyway I added the adb driver with device manager and was able to sideload a ota (the.68 version) I got status 7 as my entire /system/ partition was empty with no build.prop to determine the device Id so I removed asserts from updater script and flashed which then failed with no specific error. I then sideloaded a different version of ota (.289 I believe) and it recognised and installed fine and now it's up and running. When the status 7 happened while installing it failed to create symlinks in system or even write system at all leaving it mostly empty which of choice caused major issues. I will do an md5 check on my download and see if it was somehow corrupted but as it unzipped on my pc I doubt that it was.
[Ouya Android Development] carlx:
I found when i had my problem that if you uptick USB Debug window's will then open the Ouya's storage and you can copy files across that way.

1.0.393-r1

Are you planning a 1.0.393-r1 update? Most stock updates haven't added much but this one seems to!

:silly:
[Ouya Android Development] blipsqueak:
I had a go at this rom and it was just too shaky for me atm. Tons of crashing, etc. Went back to stock for now. Stable stock with just cifs would make my day.
[Ouya Android Development] pervert:
i can boot stock (any) with my usb keyboard in, but (and i admit some keys are not working due to spill or something, so some odd combination of keys might be pressed or something) i cannot boot into the most recent version. i was running the last version (pre-autoupdater-stop) and it was fine, but now, framework crash 100%, repeated
[Ouya Android Development] nex86:
the crashing is not the ROMs fault!

The Ouya keeps killing apps and limits multitasking to make free RAM for games.

uncheck "don't keep activities" and changing "background process limit" to default in developer options should fix the crashes/FC's.

Try what I suggested above.
[Ouya Android Development] Spulface:
I did try, what you suggested, but with no success. Still keeps crashing "Ouya Framework" endless.

Any other tips?

Greetings

[Ouya Android Development] melo_mx:
I had the same thing, couldn't even access anything in ouya or recovery. The solution is simple, just unplug your usb keyboard from ouya lol
[Ouya Android Development] blipsqueak:
Yeah, I found that to be the case sort of. Still other crashing and I want to use my keyboard!
[Ouya Android Development] melo_mx:
I managed to fix the keyboard issue, as well as consistent lag i've been getting.

What I did was I reinstalled the Official latest OTA rom. I went to ouya options and reset to factory defaults, then I went to System>Advanced>Backup & reset and clicked factory data reset. It cleared all my data, i rebooted, re-did the whole Ouya setup and went into recovery and installed this custom rom. wiped cache's, it booted fine, no lag, no errors, and keyboard works flawlessly.

Make a backup before you do any of this of course, and do not use factory reset in CWM, you will get the status 7 error
[Ouya Android Development] Spulface:
I kind of fixed it with the factory reset in CWM.. ;)

After doing so, Ouya booted StockPlus and the whole Ouya setup started. The only problem was that Ouya tried to check for updates with no success (because StockPlus is blocking it?) and claimed that my network connection isn´t working. So I´ve got stuck and installed Open Launcher via ADB. Afterwards everything was working, except of the Ouya Launcher. Not the best solution, but.. hey.. I will try the way you explained and will report back! :)
[Ouya Android Development] blipsqueak:
Yeah I got stuck at the failed network connection, too... Had to ADB, too. I will give this another go this week with melo_mx's method.
[Ouya Android Development] melo_mx:
You didn't get any problems using factory reset in CWM?

I used factory reset in CWM to go back into stock, to have a nice clean sheet. I thought the status 7 problem was occurring only for installing this rom, but it happens even to OTA official roms. Thankfully I had a backup done. Did you do something different to avoid getting the error?
[Ouya Android Development] Spulface:
I installed StockPlus over the pre-OTA (with cache/dalvik cleared), booted up and got the FC´s. So I switched back to CWM and did a factory reset, restarted and OUYA booted StockPlus with the standard setup. No errors or any problems, except the mentioned "no connection" thing.

I´ve never heard of the status 7 problem. Are there others with the same problem after reseting via CWM?

*edit* I did a manual installation of CWM, no script or special tools were used.
[Ouya Android Development] Hogman500:
I did not use rom manager no adb sideload I had a good download and my device had a completely empty sdcard. It still failed unexpectedly with status 7.
[Ouya Android Development] melo_mx:
That could be it then, I used the script method to install CWM. Yeah a few posts back someone bricked there Ouya from factory reset in CWM, they got the Status 7 error, and after reboot, it was just a blank screen, and no way of getting back into CWM & ADB wasn't working. I did also get the Status 7 error, but thank god I saw that post and made a backup before and didn't restart.
[Ouya Android Development] Hogman500:
That's what mine was doing but after I waited long enough adb would work and I could reboot recovery it took like a full 15 minutes though so at first I thought I was bricked.

Slight update...

User theme support is now added.... you can look at my theme to use as a base for your modifications and also look at the XThemeEngine thread ( here ) to see how to get started if you'd like to further expand.

I've been very busy so I haven't had as much time to work on the rom as I'd have liked. I still need to separate elements in the launcher for more finer customization but this should do for now.
[Ouya Android Development] Skater4599:
Thanks IncognitoMan for the update! I've been watching this thread for an update since Ouya's last update :) Downloading now
[Ouya Android Development] IncognitoMan:
Also before someone posts this as a bug... when applying themes do not use the soft reboot option, it'll lockup the ouya.

So basically... select a theme, apply, when it asks if you'd like to soft reboot hit cancel, select reboot and once the ouya has rebooted the theme should be applied.

[Ouya Android Development] billouetaudrey:
hi, after choose stockPlus theme, my ouya don't boot ( see the bootanimation over and over ... )

edit : reflash rom and boot again, but don't want test to apply stockplus theme lol

[Ouya Android Development] IncognitoMan:
You'll have to build them... the link to the XThemeEngine thread tells you the limitations and also links to a pretty good guide on how to build your own themes...

They are pretty much based on the same layout of CM10 themes though so if you know how to make CM10 themes you can make themes for this too

Hmm.... just checked the link and it seems to be still up.

Just removed, reflashed and reapplied the theme... all working here.

Anyone else who has flashed this rom having this problem? I have atleast seen one reported that everything works...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

edit:

looks like the link *is* temp unavailable... I'll have to find a place to upload a mirror.... sorry about that.
[Ouya Android Development] Skater4599:
I've flashed this rom last night and the xTheme engine is working great, I've switched back and forth from stock and stockPlus theme a few times without issues
[Ouya Android Development] IncognitoMan:
I did crosscheck with some other people and indeed the link is down...

I put a mirror on first post and I'll link it here as well

[Ouya Android Development] DarkMaster3960:
Great work man. I love your upgraded stock rom. It nearly fits all of my needs!

So, I just wanted to say thanks ;)
[Ouya Android Development] XmemphistoX:
A bit worried, How can I revert back to Ouya stock? I want to start from scratch as it seems laggy and someone mentioned redoing it from stock.

I guess I can download the OTA stock and from there do a factory reset? Then update to StockPlus?
[Ouya Android Development] IncognitoMan:
Right... you can download stock from here:

https://ouyafw.skumler.net/

Push that to /sdcard/ ( make sure you have the space )

Then just follow what melo_mx posted:
[Ouya Android Development] XmemphistoX:
Awesome. Thanks for the info!

*** make backup ***

Confirmed. All my issues (Play brought you to manage, usb keyboard didnt work, no network, etc).

flash OTA

do a factory reset from inside stock rom (not cwm)

enter your account account info

reboot to CWM

make backup of fresh working configured ota

flash stockplus

now working wonderfully.

might also want to set up xposed mods, your google account, any cifs shares, and make another backup with a fresh fully configured install
[Ouya Android Development] jamiefff:
If I want to back stock ROM and I have a backup of my stock ROM... Do I have to do anything different or just load up my backup?
[Ouya Android Development] Abrasher:
Any advice? I got ahead of myself and forgot to clear Cache and such. Now the OUYA isnt recognized as adb device and i cant do a factory reset do to error "OUYA Framework has stopped.

TOTALY MY FAULT, I REALIZE

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

So i may have made things worse... the only thing I could do was go into the settings and do a factory reset. Now... it shows this rom as the current version but I cannot get online via wifi or ethernet in order to Get past the initial setup process on the OUYA... it just says CANNOT connect. I cannot sideload or enter recovery as it isny recognising adb
[Ouya Android Development] IncognitoMan:
Thats correct... just restore your backup and you should be good to go.

adb *should* work if you flashed the current firmware ( it'll work over USB )

If you can not still get it to work then you'll need to grab a keyboard and "force" load the recovery... from there you should be able to either A.) flash a stock OTA rom or preferably B.) restore a backup you made.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
not really new to this stuff, but i am when it comes to the note 2.

props to the guys that put CASUAL together, with little effort other than installing the drivers from the samsung website, a few tries and reboots, 3rd go and it only took maybe 3 minutes to do the work for me.

so, now i am looking for a way to debloat the rom that came with my phone, not ready to jump into the custom flashing yet, but i would like to remove a few things i never use that verizon drops into the rom.

from past experience deleting from the /system/app and /data directories caused issues with stability on my htc rezound.

also one other thought, with the lg enlighten, rebooting with /system as RW would bootloop the phone, the rezound didn't mind at all, how does the note 2 react to being RW?

any suggestions to debloating the current running rom are welcome, i have already had some for custom roms, but more input would be ok too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Get titanium backup and remove those apps.

Then I'd make a backup and when you are ready to custom flash, get cleanrom. From the sounds of it that is what you are looking for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
that's what i had said before, but eventually i would like to flash a modded rom, but right now i am thinking about just debloating this one, for fun.

one thing that concerns me, has anyone flashed a rom the s-pen doesn't work on?

is that built into the mainboard or a rom specific thing?

wondering so i know to be careful of what i flash, love my s-pen lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
The S-pen is Samsung software that only works on Touchwiz (Samsung based Roms also known as TW) framework, said framework has yet to be ported to AOSP and most likely will not be. It is very rare for TW framework to be ported in a way that works on AOSP Roms.

The S-pen will work on all Roms no matter what but the special features, like pushing the button to make a screenshot, will be there on TW Roms but not AOSP Roms. With Vanilla Rootbox you can make the floating dot show up on the screen when using the S-pen and the other Roms have some implementation of that. If you want to replace some of the features on AOSP Roms you should look into getting GMD Spen Control from the market, also Plasma kernel has new S-pen features built in. It still won't be exactly the same as running a TW ROM but is close enough for me.

All of the custom TW Roms will have full S-pen support just like the stock ROM and in some cases have a little bit extra.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
So is flashing a rom done from the sdcard as normal or is it different in any way from a standard flash, new to twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ILMF:
Yup. Just put it on your SD card and flash. Wipe everything but your external card before you flash. lots more to it but that's the cliffnotes version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
You don't have to and you typically don't want to wipe your internal SD memory to flash a rom. From TWRP recovery you should do a Factory rest (which wipes data but not internal SD memory, the cache and the Dalvik cache). After flashing you should wipe cache and Dalvik cache again but not wipe data. To do that go into the Advanced wipe area to only wipe those 2 and not data again.

Ridin' a Note 2 blast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
No, you want to wipe your data in the internal SD, wiping cache and dalvik cache is a dirty flash and is only acceptable under certain conditions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
I corrected my post that yes you also want to wipe data but only from recovery.

What you don't want to do is use a file manager and delete data that way from internal memory. Nor do you normally want to reformat any internal or external memory from recovery.

Ridin' a Note 2 blast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
ok so quick once over, same as the rez, but i only need to do a factory reset and wipe system, caches and flash?

so i can keep internal storage intact no issue?

what about boot?

slightly different from the rez.

just another awesome thing i found for this phone, wondering how well it works and if i could use it to update twrp or maybe even revert to my flashaholic ways with a simple tap and go.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager

btw, twrp is the most awesome recovery i have ever used, along with titanium backup, which i have never used, i now have a debloated stock rom backed up.

i haven't been this thrilled since i achieved s-off on my rez.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well I use the second options in TWRP, I can't remember what it is now, under the wipe menu that you have to type yes for that formats the internal memory to get rid of all the BS. It doesn't hurt as long as you know what you are doing. And as long as you only delete old folders that are no longer in use everything will be fine.

TWRP doesn't have any dangerous wipe options at the current moment.

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

You can use it to update TWRP and download ROMs but I wouldn't flash my Roms from it, you can flash from it but I personally wouldn't. There is also a app named ROM Manager you can flash Roms from but there are a lot of issues when using ROM Manager.

I personally use the Goo Manger app to keep up with my Roms updates.

In TWRP after you click the Wipe button and go to the Wipe sub menu I always click advanced wipe and go in and wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik, and System and then I back out to the Wipe sub menu and click the right hand button, you'll have to type yes for it to work, and that gets rid of all the BS folders and crap so you can start completely fresh. You don't have to do that if you don't want to, I personally like my phone being completely clean when flashing a new ROM.

Yes you can keep internal and boot intact.

All you have to do to go to a new ROM when you boot into TWRP is click Wipe and then slide the little slider in the Wipe sub menu, I believe it says swipe for Factory Reset. That is all you have to do to Clean Flash a ROM.

Something else fun about TWRP is that you can theme it. Here is a TWRP theme collection on XDA:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
If you use Titanium to back up apps (which you can do together) and their data before flashing you can restore the apps and data all at once after the flash without having to install each one by one from Google play store. Be sure not to restore system apps or data (no need to back them up either) because it may affect the new rom.

The good part of not reformatting your internal or external memory from TWRP is that your photos, music, etc.will remain after the flash. Even if you choose factory wipe or wipe data in TWRP.

Ridin' a Note 2 blast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
I used titanium backup root to debloat a little, so I am kind of good for now, but made a nandroid of this rooted, debloated stock rom.

I think I found a twrp update with that goo.im app, but I am sure there are more than 4 roms to choose from, I have seen jedi which seemed like what I would want, stock decked out with features and the multi app does all apps, so I am kind of ready to do my first flash.

From what I get from what both or all of you have told me, swipe to factory reset, wipe system and internal, leave boot and others alone.

I wanted to set twrp to save to my sdcard, but didn't see an option to do so.

And thanks for all the input guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
All you need to do before flashing is the one Factory reset wipe on the first screen of the Wipe area. Just as TWRP advises on that screen. After the flash most go back to the Wipe area then the Advanced area and wipe only cache and Dalvik cache. Your first reboot will take a minute or 2 so be patient.

To save backup to the external card go to the Backup area and at the bottom where it says where it will backup press on it and then you can change the location. It just looks like a label and doesn't look like a button but it is. I would just backup the default checked items. Even that will be 3-4 gigs.

Ridin' a Note 2 blast
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
You should also back up the EFS in your first nandroid just in case you ever lose your IMEI or any of that good stuff. Then store that backup in a safe secure space. You won't have to back up the EFS again after the initial backup as long as you always keep that backup safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
ok i think i am ready to try my first flash, i chose jedi since it seemed to appeal to me more with the feature and spen will still work 100%.

thanks again for all of the help,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Well Spen with work on all the Roms, the only issue is that it doesn't have all the software features on AOSP as it does on TW. It will have all the same features as stock as long as it is a Touchwiz, TW, ROM. Moon ROM, Jedi, CleanRom (both versions), Beans, MeanBean, Goodness, etc. And you can still add a lot of your stock Spen features back with GND Spen Control.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fallen00sniper:
ok i installed jedi, but mid install at installing voice recorder after modem installation, retaining current modem, it just locked up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] universexda:
Probably best to ask about this on the Jedi thread where lots of folks have experience with it. Hope it works out.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwingBlade:
Hey folks!

So I got my happy shiny TF300T (red, snazzy-like) and dock from a recent Woot sale. Naturally I go to root it, and find all the guides/tools necessary to do so (not a pro, but not my first rodeo). After some frustration and failed efforts, I discover that my issue (unlocker not connecting) is not uncommon, so I go through the rigamarole of contacting Asus and have given my serial and wifi MAC to their support. I'm on JB 4.1.1, and was using Unlocker Tool v7.

There have been several oddities leading up to this, however. The s/n rubbed off of the sticker on the bottom just in the 15 minutes of handling it before I knew I'd need it. Never fear, right? I just check the Settings > About Phone > Status section. Looks legit, so I go to register it to my Asus account. No dice. Talking to a support rep, I'm informed my serial is 1 character short of what it might need to be. I dig up the box and find the s/n on that, however it does not match what is displaying on the device, and ADB reports it as being this 'short' serial. I'm presuming it got muxed up during the repair/refurb process (it's a refurb).

Loading into the bootloader, I see four icons, RCK (recovery I presume?), the Android logo (to boot into the regular OS), a USB icon (I'm guessing this has to do with Fastboot or something but am unsure), and the Wipe Data option. Is it possible this device is already unlocked, as I'm not sure it would have the USB icon if not (I've not had a lot of luck really looking around for info on the 'stock' bootloader just yet).

I guess my first question is, what are the details of these bootloader options, and what might be my steps for proceeding if there is in fact a critical mismatch of serials? I'll note the serial on the box is grossly different from the truncated serial on the device itself, though the one on the box registered to my account without issue.

My second question is, can I do anything about this mismatch of serials on my own, or am I doomed to have to try to RMA, foot those costs, and hope it ends up working out as I'm expecting?

Looking forward to your helpful replies!

EDIT: It is build 10.4.2.9-20120809
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
The 4.1 bootloader which you have uses volume up on usb to allow fastboot access. You have the rest correct.

Look in the upper left of the screen while booting and if the tablet is unlocked you will see unlocked.

I suggest not using the wipe data on the bootloader menu instead you can use factory reset in settings (this is just for future info).

There is a US Asus rep who posted somewhere in the tf300 forum that he would take info from US users and try to get the serial number issues resolved.

I'll have a look around and report if I find the thread.
