[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScudMuffin:
What Aerys is trying to say is, read up on all these questions. They have all been asked before and are all over this forum. I'll do my best to give the quick and dirty versions.

S-on and s-off allow for a deeper re-write of the system. Like change the model type by flashing a different RUU (making it essentially from say.. and AT&T to an International UK) and a bunch of other uses. But you can search on those. No drawback that you already have not voided by rooting really...

Google Edition is bone stock, don't expect any bells and whistle features in there. CM will probably use the dump to stabilize the build further, but if you like those added features, go back to CM ROM

ROM OTAs are up to the devs.

Stock OTAs are not possible unless you re-lock and use stock recovery. You can use a stock ROM, and wait for the updated one to have whatever the latest OTA is integrated.

Kernals are tricky, with the GE ROM, I would use whichever it recommends, typically stock.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hurta:
What do you mean by that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hurta:
Yes I thought that those questions should have been answered, I checked the F.A.Q. and did some quick forum/google searches that didn't throw any good answers at me. So sorry for that.

Yes, I don't expect stock android to change (well I do but not that fast), but CM was really still quite buggy so what i mean was if the GE dumps will help make the CM builds be more stable, which you already answered.

Ok, will try the stock kernel.

Thanks for the answers!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DarkFantasy6:
Hey guys :)

I was interested in reodexing for example cm 10.1 for our device, so i searched and found the "odex me" app from Modaco forum. Its developed for galaxy s2 but on my optimus 2x i used it already and it was included in some Roms. I installed it on my optimus 4x right now, running cm10.1 and it worked perfect, and i think there is a performence improvement :P But i dont know if there come some issues. I will test my odexed Rom now for a while and will report later.

here you find the apk:

http://www.modaco.com/topic/344911-...kitchen/page__st__80__p__1781828#entry1781828

Install it like a normal app

start it

you must give root permissions

the app will do the rest

to be proof look at system/app and you will find odex files :D

I never got a bootloop it worked good.

Try it yourself and report back, maybe its a perfect way to keep cm 10 fast with many roms installed :D

(sorry for my english)

THIS APP ISNT DEVELOPED BY ME, I ONLY SHARE IT WITH YOU

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] wamatt:
I backuped up my PDA2k then I did a hard reset.

How do I get active synch to restore it? It wants to setup a new relationship. I cancelled that went to the restore menu, and tried to restore it but it said "different mobile device" or something

So then I setup a new partnership, but now when I try to restore it says "The selected storage file is not valid"

Anyone have the procedure for backup/hard reset/restore?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Psicoze:
Uninstall ActiveSync and reinstall. That will manage.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] wamatt:
Thanks will give that a bash
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Flavio:
You have to make sure you have set the Regional Settings in Settings/System as they were before after the hard reset. Then softreset and connect with ActiveSync as a 'Guest'. Then you can then Restore. Do not setup a new partnership!
[HTC Desire S] rockerblood:
im new to htc desire s coz my nexus sold due to financial needed.

Btw i cant find the standard or easy way to root my htcds. Or even ICS update my device info as follows;

BEFORE:

HTC DESIRE S

STOCK ROM

V 2.3.5

S OFF

HBOOT 2.02.0002

Any help would be appreciated.:)

AFTER:

HTC Desire S S510e - SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF

Hboot | HBOOT-2.00.2002 (ex 6.98.1002)

Radio | 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110

Current ROM | SVHD v1.7.0 | ICS 4.0.4 | Sense 4.1
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
do you have a custom recovery?
[HTC Desire S] t0bb:
what worked for me is the downgrade of the HBOOT version first...then root
[HTC Desire S] Aquous:
Since you're already S-OFF, this couldn't be easier. Just download 4ext recovery, flash it via fastboot, and find a zip file of Superuser or SuperSU and flash that from within your new recovery.
[HTC Desire S] rockerblood:
Thanks guys for response, can you give me a link straight to that so i cant read so many tutorials?

I just want to be rooted
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
problem is, do you have a custom recovery?
[HTC Desire S] NVardan:
If you're S-OFF, just flash a custom ROM of your choice, and root will come with it.
[HTC Desire S] rockerblood:
No i havent custom recovery yet...

I can do it even without custom recovery?
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
since you are s off, flash custom recovery in fastboot. then flash superuser zip
[HTC Desire S] rockerblood:
can you give me the link? its so messy if i didnt hit the right link to do,..

EDIT: now i successfully Install EXT4 Recovery On HTC Desire S, whats next?

i Think its not yet rooted, can i directly flash custom rom from my EXT4 Recovery?

please advice..
[HTC Desire S] madboxgr:
Get the superuser zip and flash it in recovery like u flash anykind of rom. Check the grneral thread at the end of it theres a link and a guide.
[HTC Desire S] hisname:
backup and flash any rom you like
[HTC Desire S] rockerblood:
thanks for all your help, i flashed SVHD rom and everythings okay, i have new HTC now :D

[Galaxy S III General] supreethms:
Well, from past 3 months this is the third case I have heard of a Samsung Galaxy S III blasting. Whether the users were sleeping, charging of just keeping the phone in their pockets.

Two of them were news all over the internet.

A Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone combusts out of the blue and burns off while owner is asleep

Samsung Galaxy S III explodes, injures 18 year old girl

I just created this thread so that users can discuss about this, the risks, and anyone who is an expert can give us DOs and DON'Ts for NOT getting our Samsung Galaxy S III blasted. And what steps might Samsung take to get rid of these explosions in the future.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
3 out of xxx million suggests not much so far .

But SDS started with just a few posters saying phone on charge all night and its now dead .

[Galaxy S III General] supreethms:
Still, it's THREE. I did not notice any other phone making news saying that it blasted and burnt a hot chic's thigh. xD
[Galaxy S III General] SergioTeddy:

[HTC Droid DNA] zinkscott:
So, I'm coming from an LG Lucid, and the damn thing performs better then this DNA. On Sense based ROMS, the DNA is buttery smooth; no issues. On AOSP ROMS however, the DNA has so much lag. Scrolling is pitiful and even Temple Run 2 has a stutter every two seconds. I've tried flashing different kernels, always fails to boot. I forced GPU rendering, no dice. Please help me. I want 4.2.2, but I don't know if I can deal with this awful performance.

EDIT: I downloaded a free app called LagFix which messes with some TRIM issues and all is buttery smooth. Hope this helps anyone on the same boat as myself.
[Ouya General] Oscar_david:
So I was apprehensive about purchasing an Ouya after finding out about the recovery issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2326377&highlight=let+ouya+know

http://forums.ouya.tv/discussion/1380/recovery-mode

But I went ahead and got one from Amazon anyway. Rooted it, running Nova Launcher rather than the Ouya one, Installed the Google Play Store.... XBMC ...

played a few games a bit.

It's not perfect. But I'm loving it anyway.

I just don't wanna brick it, so I haven't tried any of the alternate ROMs. I'd love to throw CM10 on this little cube.

Anyway. ...

If you love your Ouya... this is your thread.

:D
[Ouya General] XblackdemonX:
I love it! it works perfectly as a low power media center and the games I run on it work well. I'm just having a hard time making it detect my SD card but i'm almost there...
[Ouya General] Rirere:
I personally can't stand the overlay, so when I get the chance (and energy), I'll try to put CM10 on it, at which point I expect I'll be fine with it. The controller is awful though (for me, anyway), so I'm looking forward to connecting some cheap USB hardware once I get back to school to use it as a media server. I require basically nothing else from it.
[Ouya General] Oscar_david:
Its perfect as media server. USB keyboard and mouse work great on it. In the mean time, try blue board.

Also by overlay, I assume you mean the interface itself. You can just install Nova Launcher.
[Ouya General] Rirere:
The launcher is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to annoyances: a lot of things I do daily on other devices involve weird workarounds and jumping through "user-friendly" panels. I really don't have a patience with most customized skins, so it's really not worth my time until I can flash CM. As with all things, mileage varies, so take this for what it is.
[Ouya General] player911:
I personally enjoy the Interface. Coming from an MK808 with a stock Android experience, screwing with the UI using an Airmouse or controller was a pain in the butt. I love the simplicity and being able to just pick what I want and go.

I could see if you are using it more as a media server. But just for playing games (what I purchased it for) the UI is awesome.

The Gamepad leaves a little to be desired for. Really, nothing beats a PS3 gamepad for retro gaming. The OUYA gamepad feels nice, but it feels like a 360 pad... with its iffy circle dpad. The controller responds very well but the dpad makes retro gaming a bit cumbersome. The PS3 is also lighter and just feels right. Fortunately the PS3 pad pairs effortlessly and has become my main go to for EMU's.

Overall I love it. Mine took a factory reset before it saw my USB HDD, but good to go. The Ouya Store is a little cluttered. They have Top Favorites like 5 times and each has duplicate games... so you keep seeing the same ones over and over. Right now, the store is barren, so finding something is easy if you search by categories. This WILL be a problem as it expands.

I'd also like to see some simple categories like Top Ten Downloaded, Most Liked, and Newest Releases... even "Latest Updates" which just shows apps that have been updated. This would be nice since some early versions have bugs. On several occasions I have passed up an app because of issues, then forget about it only to find later it was fixed pretty quickly.

There is a lack of online multiplayer apps. Local Multiplayer Emulators is mostly what I purchased the console for in the first place. And that it does almost flawlessly.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
I absolutely LOVE my OUYA! I love the interface and even the controller, even with the less than perfect D-pad. I've had more fun with some of these games than I have on my 360 in a long time. And actually I've played more games for longer since I got my OUYA than all year on my PS3/360/PC (excluding MMO's)

I think this is something they're working on. They actually added a "New Release" category yesterday that made me happy, although I'm not sure how they sort it because some of the new releases were not actually on there. Even then, they need less top 5 lists and more broad categories with SUB categories. I believe 1 level deep should solve a lot of the problems we're currently seeing.
[Ouya General] Acolis:
Love my ouya, but have nothing to compare with, i am a pc user.

Bought it for the games and then discovered the emulators. Installed battle city and having the blast with my friend.

Also bought the hocky kickass game and got owned by my little bro :/

So ye, perfectly satisfied with myvpurchase.

And also a big thumb to all the devs, and moders to make it even awesomer

:)
[Ouya General] DivinityCycle:
My history and experiences are a bit different but my reactions are similar to everyone else here.

I started messing around with "hacking" game consoles about 10 years ago with an Xbox 1. Pretty quickly became a serious XBMC user.

I actually was only initially interested in the Ouya as a way to get a tiny / silent dedicated XBMC box. The fact that it is a hacker-friendly box that runs Android and is sort of an indie game haven did not hurt at all.

I honestly didn't expect to use it for gaming at all, but I've been surprised to find that that's mostly what I use it for.

The whole "everything is free to try!" model changed the way I found and bought games. The fact that almost all the games are cheap as hell compared to "real" console games doesn't hurt either.

I have done several Kickstarter items in the past, and so I know that the Ouya team is smaller than they should be and has had to solve a lot of unexpected issues along the way, so I am not surprised that a bunch of unsolved issues remain. However, overall I am satisfied with all that it does. There are seriously a bunch of great Ouya games, like TowerFall, Bomb Squad, Hidden In Plain Sight, The Little Crane That Could, etc.

I have been a pretty busy guy in general lately, and so I honestly don't feel like I have the time to play some of these 80+ hour AAA titles that are around right now. In that respect the Ouya has been great. Every aspect of the commitment level from the user is significantly less than other consoles, and I like that.

As others have said, there are some things about the system that bug me, but overall, I can't be bothered with ROMs right now.

It does everything I want already, and the random cool crap you theoretically could maybe do with a ROM doesn't presently overrule my fear that I may brick my Ouya.

At this point I think my laziness also is a big thing. It works well enough as is, so I'm not sufficiently motivated to mess with it yet. Obviously, me browsing this forum means I'm thinking about it though :P
[Ouya General] bwild:
I am loving my ouya as well! And my roomate who has berated me about my purchase since january, calling ouya an obvious failure, conceded. After having it for 2 days, he stated he is going to pick one up for himself now that they are supposedly available retail. if you went into this thing with reasonable expectations, you will be very happy. if you heard "console" and thought "PS3.5" you are going to be disappointed, but whatever man, you were a fool so GFY.
[Ouya General] chrisphoenix7:
I love mine. It likes to fight, but I like to fight back. Getting it to function perfectly is a game itself. As far as games, I recommend You Don't Know Jack and Vendetta Online. Good games that work great; vendetta just isn't consistent with what the menus say controls are.
[Ouya General] Kavex:
I got it for retro gaming and sideload some better emulators and it works great. Can't wait for better roms tho
[Ouya General] timkd127:
At this point I'm unimpressed. It feels like it needed another 6 months in development, especially the UI. The library is also very week. There are a few gems like towerfall, but the vast majority of games don't warrant more than 3 minutes of play.
[Ouya General] robinscp:
I was underwhelmed at first but now I have the play store, access to my games, emulators, and another launcher running I love it.

I think I will have to purchase a usb hub and a mouse and keyboard before I am truely happy.
[Ouya General] topnomi:
I'm LOVING my Ouya!

Towerfall might be my favorite multiplayer game ever!
[Ouya General] Simonius007:
My OUYA is amazing. Rooted and CWM already. But still waiting for goog CM port on it)
[Ouya General] jhitesma:
I still feel burned over the recovery issue - they shouldn't have sold it as open the way they did if they weren't planning on actually living up to that claim....

But....

Overall I'm still extremely happy with mine. The original controllers I got were absolute trash, but they replaced them quickly when I contacted support (thankfully I got mine in late May before they ran out of replacement controllers) and the replacements are fine. The wireless has me wondering if they actually had anyone with any kind of RF experience involved in the design - wifi is horrible and the bluetooth isn't much better. Sitting just 10' from mine the controllers will freak out if I don't sit forward in my seat with a completely unobstructed path between them and the Ouya. The interface isn't great and the Discover section needs a TON of work....but that's software and I'm sure we'll see some major changes there sooner rather than later.

Due to the recovery issue I haven't done much hacking on mine other than root/busybox and a few things like Titanium. But that wasn't my main reason for wanting it - it was what put me over the edge since I figured it was a good price for a Tegra3 board to play with if Ouya tanked....but I was still hoping they'd pull it off and have some decent games. And while the game selection isn't anything to get excited about just yet...it's been getting better and better quicker and quicker and I've had no problem finding games I want to play on it. Heck I've actually bought more games on it than I did for my Wii (the last console I bought) which is mostly due to the fact that while I've bought more games for the Ouya than I did for the Wii I've spent less on games for the Ouya than I did on just one game for the Wii :D

The main reason I'm happy with it though is because I do believe in the dream and I do love Indie games. And even better having this thing sitting here has finally gotten me to get serious about sinking my teeth into Java and Android development. I cobbled together a few quick and dirty sample apps a few years ago before I even had an android device to run them on (ran them on the emulator and then my wife's phone since she got to upgrade a year before me) but haven't gone any further because while I may be able to sling some code I'm just not that good at making things look nice and my co-workers who are are apple guys who don't want to help me develop for Android. But they're also gamers and are interested in the Ouya so we're finally on the same page and working on some ideas. I was blown away by how easily I was able to get some simple game proof of concepts functional and so was my co-worker. It's been a dream of mine to make my own game for a console since I got my first Atari 2600. I looked into the Wii homebrew scene...but again none of my graphically gifted co-workers had a Wii and weren't interested in doing anything for it so I never got past some quick test code. To finally have a system I can make code for and a friend who's interested in joining forces to make something....it's a dream come true.

Now if I just had more time to play games on it and/or write more code for it :D
[Ouya General] swindillon:
I love this machine! Much better when its Rooted/CWM, its great to have friends over and hookup ps3 controllers to play Smash Bros or play any EMU games, and super portable for travelling.
[Ouya General] Fluckysan:
I'm not already hooked by my Ouya (well almost)

I think it's really a matter of youthness : I'm currently a little disapointed by the quality of the graphics on the games, and to be honest I'm not that fan of graphics

But I can't help to notice the graphics gap between Android mobile games and Ouya games whereas our little square friend pack a very capable GPU (Tegra 3)

I also miss mass player online games which is for me a nice argument for Ouya (I do have friends :p !)

Again I think the future will be beautifull since Ouya games currently available are essentially from indie enthousiastics who don't have necessary big fund

Finally, I don't regret my Ouya AT ALL, I'm really happy to be a baker :)
[Ouya General] krankdroid:
i find it a bit odd how people often emphasize that they use it mainly for emulating the classic consoles.

people could have saved themselves a great bit of money by just buying some no-brand Android device, and even gotten a device that was pre rooted, had official Play store, hardware recovery option 5 full size USB plugs, bluetooth and even SD slot. All for something like half the prize of the OUYA.

At this point i must say i am not to crazy about it. i feel that OUYA have really made an effort in locking down the console rather than living up to their promise of openness. Everything from the OUYA launcher being a walled garden, to no direct access to your own file system, no root access / superuser priviledges, no hardware option for recovery state and no play store access.

i really like the look and also the controller. But i also got this for a silent XBMC dedicated device. i will however wait for a linux based build before that dream come through. i was hoping that i could play and hack around with until then. But without a hardware recovery option, i will just wait for a good Linux based XBMC port instead.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
The problem with 99% of those machines is they have no support and often times don't last very long. They generally get 1-2 star ratings on their own website for the hardware. This isn't to mention some of the limitations, such as getting 4 controllers hooked up is almost impossible. The OUYA is stable, it is fast, and it has a lot more to offer. While more USB ports and an SD card would be great, they can be added with little problem.

I won't go too far into defending the OUYA, because it is a lot more closed than they said, but it's also pretty open. Things like the launcher and no play store has been said since the beginning, since Kickstarter, and I think they are both +'s for the system. They allow for sideload of almost all apps and getting the play store on there is already possible and it's only been out for less than a month. The OUYA comes pre-rooted, it just doesn't have the SU binaries. I'm not really sure exactly why this is, but I bet it has to do with legal instead of them locking it down. Besides, it's extremely easy to enable this, especially now with the OUYA Toolbox. And when it comes down to it, that's what it's all about, tinkering.

CWM is pretty easy to install now, so you can use that as recovery.

I understand where you're coming from on all these points and I'm not replying to say you're wrong, so please don't take it that way =)
