[Ouya General] jhitesma:
Yes, except if you mess anything up to the point that you'd need that recovery (even something as simple as a typo in an init script) then there's no way to get to that recovery leaving it completely useless.

The only way to get into recovery is from a system that can boot - which pretty much defeats most of the reason for having recovery in the first place.

Flash a bad kernel - no way to get into recovery.

Tweak your init to run a custom launcher instead of the Ouya launcher but make a small typo - no way to get into recovery.

Even the funky keyboard overload method of getting into recovery requires it to boot past the point either of those two examples would crash at.

Not sure where you're coming from with these:

1) "Walled garaden" The Ouya launcher is easier to get into than the Google Play store. Ouya just does a review to make sure there's nothing malicious or against policy in an app and there's no fee at all ever to submit. Even the play store requires a one time $25 fee to get something in. That's to me more walled than the Ouya even if their approval process may be a bit less lax (and even that is debatable other than a few exceptions.)

2) "no direct access to your own file system" - Where do you get this from? "adb shell; su" boom you've got full access. There's no file manager app on the Ouya but it takes absolutely zero hacking to sideload a file manager. Do it through the browser or ADB and you're gold.

3) "no root access / superuser priviledges(sic)" - do you even know what you're taking about? It's basically pre-rooted, just pull up an adb shell and 'su' boom - you're root. If you want to run root apps yeah you'll have to install Superuser and busybox - but there's no hacking to it, just shell in - adb - load your apk's and customized su and you're done. Takes less than two minutes.

4) "no hardware recovery" - This one you nailed - it's a major failing of the Ouya and one I seriously hope they correct as right now it's a SERIOUS limitation.

5) "no play store" - as already pointed out this has been known since day one of the Kickstarter, Why would you expect it to have the play store in the first place?

As for buying a generic android device - where do you find one with a processor up to par with a Tegra3 for <$100 I've seen lots of cheap android sticks/devices but none with a processor in that class for that price. And the cheap ones with play store are almost universally running unlicensed copies of the Play store since they don't meet the requirements to license it from google and don't really care since they're almost universally Chinese fly by night companies who don't respect IP rights in the least (though would gladly try to assert theirs if the tables were turned.)

One out of 5 isn't horrible (it's better than Apple, they've done more than 5 iPhones and IMHO have yet to get one of them right) but the majority of your post just seems so far off from reality it leaves me wondering where you're coming from with these ideas.
[Ouya General] krankdroid:
i like how you point out how few steps outside the OUYA universe it takes to get what i would like to have. i am aware of that. My problem is that it was not there to begin with. The root access. i will give you that. even though i don't really understand why there is no SU managment to start with. For something as simple as a file explorer, which would have made a lot of things a lot easier, it just have to be there. i can also get access to my own files on my iPad if i jailbreak it and install file explorer from Cydia. My point is that i am a bit chocked to learn that the access was not there to begin with.

Chinese build Android devices have as good a standard as the OUYA. Well. Atleast the 7 devices i have purchased and used. Build quality has never been a problem with any of them. Well ok. Remotes that came with them is a bit of a joke. Tegra3 is not to be found in the chinese non brand Android devices. Exynos4412 Prime is however, and are easily on par with Tegra3

Hellos guys

Just for curiosity, what's your scores on AnTuTu ?

mine is 10681, but the other devices, c2104 make 11k~12k

another thing, AnTuTu shows this hardware:

CPU:MSM8930 MTP Dual Core ARMv7

Frequency: 384~1026 MHz

Resolution: 480 x 782

Screen: 240 dpi

RAM: 777 MB

the ones in bold, should be:

Resolution: 480 x 854

RAM: 1 GB

About RAM, i don't know if AnTuTu shows 777MB because the other 300 MB is reserved for system. Free Memory is about 250~300MB

About Resolution, i don't know what to think o.o

somebody have the same "problem" ?

OBS: I'm in Brazil, so I don't know if devices here are poorer of hardware.

OBS2: Sorry for my English. :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P1NK13P13:
Samsung announced five new colors. They will likely carry purple, hoping for pink. If not, I'll buy from ebay or something. No biggie.

Sprint is quite unlikely to carry these new colors though to be honest, Bobby is right.

Hello, I wanted to ask which of the (original) 4.1.2 firmwares is the best one for the S3.

At the moment I'm using the XXEMC2 Firmware with a Vodafone sim-card (so it doesn't matter if the firmware is vf-branded).

as "best firmware" I look after these criteria:

- Flawless

- Good battery usage

- short reaction times(gallery, camera etc)

I'm going on my First trip out of Canada and I'm to Disney World. I have the World Edition (GT-N7100) And I want to know how do I get a USA card and a package just for the time I'm down there (or 1 Month). I thought who better to ask then the people that know it all. ;)

I asked Disney and they said they have No cell phone booths there and don't sell the cards (witch I thought was strange...). I'm staying on the Disney resort and don't want to leave it so I would like a place I can call or online orfer the card to my House in Canada and they just have it when I go to activate it (and I could use it in the future if needed.

Any one know how I can do this or is there a better way?

I haven't used the knoll light factory yet... Will check it out, nice to see others who have experience with AE. :good:

I wanted the slight blur/low resolution look on the rain in the animation, I was trying to get it similar in feel to the Matrix intro and noticed it had a very similar grainy low-res look to it. I am still going to check out knoll and see what it's all about.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pneuma1985:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqqEriE0ogc

low res but oh well - 1:31 in youll see...

Yeah Redgiant makes some cool plugins if you want to remove the red X cough youtube... Yeah the only thing id say about that is: they did the matrix fly in at high res with 3d cubes to make up pixels it was either a well written expression or autodesk one of them you take your pick. Think it could be done with the holomatrix plugin now but I dont think that plugin was around then. Not exactly sure. But yeah thats why the pixels appear to have so much depth to them its how they created a 3d space to a 2d environment is with 3d pixel effect essentially.. They made the models move with expressions and null objects and then warped them in after effects. Its more of a warping of the cubes bending into code, thats what i remember at least. There are several variations lol what with 3 movies and all. The end flare when it warps into "pseudo reality" would be super easy replicated in klf as well as magic bullet looks has a matrix look i think youll like also...In KLF they also have resolution settings for you lights so no worries there and they may even have a preset of that flare;) Glad you shared man I like it...:good:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crackanug:
S!@#, balls man. After checking the plugin out the other night, got to say it would have made this a bit easier to do instead of a white solid overlay with a couple masks. Thanks man, glad to have more ways to simplify and make **** look clean when making these. Pretty interesting info about how they rendered the 3d effects for the intro, even if it was a pixel shift/warp effect, still good information to have for the future. I've been messing around with blender for 3d, little rough around the edges for an interface, but it works... for now. Any software suggestions or recommendations on the 3d end? I've been contemplating Cinema 4d or 3ds Max
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ssojyeti2:
Pretty sure Pneuma uses c4D. He got me into it, it's awesome
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Pneuma1985:
Yeah man I hear that figured you'd like it: I've found that maxon has a much easier interface I've always thought that for some reason. Try some c4d: much simpler. And aftereffects CC has the new cineware engine in it (ie, renedering engine built into cinema4d) from maxon so yeah the two softwares will forever be interconnected from now on at least as far as adobe says. Which I love btw :D Currently I have autodesk 3dsmax installed as well as c4d and blender but I've never opened the other two except blender once to convert a model into .obj lol. Now I just got riptide so I can do it in c4d. Yeah I've found that most of the gurus use them as paired software. And crackanug also check out andrew kramers videocopilot element 3d it allows you to use trapcode form as a model overlay base essentially in after effects. Willing to help you attain that if you want hmu on gtalk pneuma1985@gmail

And @ yeti glad you did to lol...I only try to persuade people who I think actually have promise, skill, ambition, Love to see the community grow with true talent. ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Crackanug:
As soon as I get some free time after this week (moving) I will check out c4d. Needing something other than blender, like you, all I used it for was converting things to an obj and maybe an extrusion for a simple 3d design from a vector drawing. I'm watching the videocopilot vids during some downtime at work, pretty impressive so far. I've watched some of the other tuts, but usually only when I am stuck or need help with some ideas. I'm def interested in learning from like minded individuals and getting new ideas, knowledge and tips. You see a message from letthemfear on gmail, it'll be me.

I just wanted to note that this doesn't seem to work on CM10. I've tried flashing the following:

Flashable zip download for roms using "hTC_bootup_one.zip" file format.

Flashable zip download for roms using "bootanimation.zip" file format.

I've also copied the 'non-flashable' to system/media and that didn't work either.

Anyone have any advice?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] celder187:
Don't know much about cm10 but I used the non flashable and renamed it to what ever boot animation file name is in system/customize/cid. Then you would copy / past into system/customize/resource

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] celder187:
My only guess would be that you are missing sometiing in the rename, if you are using root explorer to install. This is the way my cid reads thus I renamed the non-flashable zip to bootanimation.zip and made sure permissions were set to rw-r-r.

Hey guys,

Recently got a Surface Pro 128GB.

Unfortunately I had to refresh windows on it yesterday as I had a mishap with some software and to save messing about I just refreshed the whole tablet.

But today at work I noticed that when I unlock the tablet on the screen where you slide the picture upwards, for a brief second as the tablet comes out of sleep I see the password screen or picture password flash behind the slide up picture.

It's hard to describe in words so here is a video:

http://youtu.be/vLUTDHM0nVg

I updated my Intel graphics drivers from the June Drive/Firmware pack from here: Download Surface Pro firmware and driver pack from Official Microsoft Download Center

Which has the Intel 15.28 drivers on it.

I wondered if anyone else on them drivers could tell me if they see a screen glitch when unlocking the tablet. Just a brief see through glitch through the slide up picture.
