.. hi nchantmnt .. new kernel is here .. can you repack for stock and share here .. :D
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
Sure I can do that. But I will ask kholk first if it's OK for him that I publish repacks of his kernel. But not before tonight. I'm having a day off with my wife ;+)

[Ouya Android Development] tevil:
anyone know if this kernel is going to be in a custom CM rom built over the OUYA interface or just an android rom on the ouya

I will say I like the OUYA interface for what it is used for but the "console" could really use some juice

or am i really off and its just going to be a kernel?
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
Thanks for your help, its working now :victory: what's crazy is that i did validated my account the first time i registered, but it's ok, at least i'm in now!!
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
I got the EP OUYA bootloader installed and running, i managed to boot using my stock kernel, now i got the Android Image Kitchen tool, i just don't know what to repack or what to mod before repacking? i'm really new to repacking :o any help please...i tried asking over at http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic...-ouya-cpu-2ghz-gpu-650mhz/page-3#entry1134573 but it won't allow me again...Thanks
[Ouya Android Development] adfurgerson:
Kholk posted this link for repacking.

[Ouya Android Development] vincenzo697:
Doesnt work my friend. Already tryed
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
This link is no good, when I try to repack it gives me an error and it says "not found"... I've been trying to use that link for 2 days now and still doesn't work...
[Ouya Android Development] realhuh:
.. just be patient .. sooner or later there will be kernel for stock .. meanwhile .. lets hit some thug with groovy style .. go soul fjord :D ..
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
I don't really care much for a kernel for stock ouya rom, I don't plan on staying on stock for ever, as soon as the kit kat ROM appears I will be flashing it a.s.a.p. but I will love to take this kernel and take it for a spin and I don't want to beat up thugs playing lame soul fjord, sorry.
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
Just be patient. Repack will be there in a few hours. Just have done stuff to do right now ;)

[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
so hello everyone,

as i promised here are the repacks for stock rom

repacked with ramdisk for version 1.2.771

head over here for repackes boot images.

all the thanks for this work goes to our main developer kholk of course ;)
[Ouya Android Development] tarvoke:
yay thank you nchantmnt!!!

this time I will be slightly less dumb and do fastboot boot first, rather than fastboot flash (also to be safe in case my box can't handle the 2ghz upper limit!)

.........

hm, still no luck. black screen only. may have to wait for the 1.8ghz version.

but thanks anyway nchantmnt!

[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
It doesn't work for me, i just flashed it and it stays at a black screen, EP bootloader works for me cause i can flash the stock kernel easy without a problem and i see the text at start...:(
[Ouya Android Development] tarvoke:
TPL boot menu works - although if I have usb devices connected, the power button navigation is broken.

something is definitely weird, though - as mentioned, the kernel I dumped from LNX is 8mb (so probably contains modules built in) but all other recent retail and custom kernels seem to be 5mb. (I am guessing because lib/modules and/or ramdisk are assumed to already be present)

I can fastboot boot both the 8mb lnxbackup.img as well as the 5mb RC-OUYA-1.2.771-r1_ota.zip boot.img. (but booting the boot.img isn't perfect since some files are likely missing (my /system/lib/modules is empty. plus there is a bunch of other stuff in RC-OUYA-1.2.771-r1_ota.zip, which I don't seem to have. so, I probably don't have the latest OTA, even though I thought I did.)

also, if I fastboot flash boot the 8mb lnxbackup.img, TPL boot menu auto loads it, and everything works normally as it has been for last couple months.

somewhere along the way I screwed something up ha ha.

it is really strange, I agree.. I might as well flash stockplus simply to try to clean things up. (or is it possible to do the OTA zip from adb sideload or from CWM?)

thanks
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
you can do a OTA zip from adb sideload, i did it at the beginning of the month it cleaned my OUYA like the first day i turned it on...
[Ouya Android Development] tarvoke:
cool, thanks man!

the only thing that worried me most was that the contents of the OTA seem like it might replace the recovery - that scared me since CWM has been just about the only thing that has saved me SOOOOOO many times over the past couple weeks ;)

other than that I don't mind re-doing everything else (nova launcher, xposed / google store, etc. etc...)
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
i don't think i lost my CWM when i did it, i just don't remember.
[Ouya Android Development] realhuh:
.. nope .. still reboot .. my ouya is kinda weak one .. will wait for lower clock version ..

anyway .. thanks nchantmnt .. hope you will repack next version :D .. cheers
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
rechecked just to be sure. local copy as well as downloaded one did boot for me.

anyone else having issues?
[Ouya Android Development] lmulli:
Its boots with your repacked Kernel image thanks. Appears to work ok, although I have had a few random reboots with it despite throttling the Max Freq to that of Stock (1.7Ghz).

Disappointed though that Antutu benchmark comes in at around 1000 marks lower than stock though for the same clock speed.

Thanks anyway, at least it runs!!
[Ouya Android Development] vincenzo697:
Guys dont use it with stock Rom even if yous repack it. i have spent nearly 2 days trying to figure it out. it even made my ouya sdcard storage READ ONLY and i had to start from the beginning deleting all my files. So i started again flashing the Stockplus Rom and now everything is ok. sometimes it flickers but everything else is smooth now. So my advice FLash CWM recovery then from the recovery flash StockPlus Rom then the Bootloader and Last the kernel (do not repack it).
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
sorry i have to disagree.

the reason for the repacks is to avoid the issues you just described. if you still are having issues with /scard then you are trying to boot the wrong kernel

if you are using stockplus rom go to eternityproject forum and download the kernel there.

if you are using latest stock rom use my repacks. (they will be on eternityproject forum soon)

if you have any further issues or something you think that is valuable for us to know, head over to eternityproject.eu and report there.

thanks ;)
[Ouya Android Development] realhuh:
.. yes .. kholk said this kernel is built for stockplus .. and yes .. it may work or not in stock rom .. like my self .. to lazy to change rom .. use repack is reasonable :D

.. Actually today got some improvement.. My ouya managed to boot repack kernel successful from cold condition / 1st boot.. And play soul fjord :D .. But still get random reboot.. maybe some underclock cpu setting will give more stable condition .. cheers
[Ouya Android Development] vincenzo697:
When i was on the stock rom i repacked the kernel from my firmware and still i was having those issues. thats why i flashed the StockPlus Rom and flashed the kernel from eternityproject. Even the first kernel that you repacked and youve send it to me i was having problems. I am just suggesting whats the best solution from my experience
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
no problem with your suggestions ;)

i tried to reproduce your issues but honestly i cant. at least when it comes to /sdcard caused by wrong ramdisk. that should work. anyone else haveing the same issues as kostas?
[Ouya Android Development] vincenzo697:
I was wondering if the ouya is going to support a usb webcam so we can connect to skype!!!!! is it something that must be implemented to the kernel?
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
Head over to kholks thread and ask for it. it should be possible in theory but with so many different models of webcams out there it might me too tricky. But like I said. Ask over at our forum. Kholk should know best about that.

[Ouya Android Development] frickinjerms:
i almost booted for me haha i fastboot flashed your 0.1c repack because im also on the newest ota and it rebooted to the eternity BL a couple times then got to the little ouya boot screen and then decided to reboot back to the eternity BL, so i let it try again and it was just a black screen haha sooo i unplugged it to let it cool down a bit and ill report back if i make it past the boot screen later
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
Why is there 2 repacks? which one of the 2 do i use on stock ouya rom?
[Ouya Android Development] frickinjerms:
that first link version 0.1c
[Ouya Android Development] tarvoke:
most inexpensive webcams are using uvcvideo.ko module. it even works in stock ouya kernels (although ouya framework doesn't seem to give any userspace access to it. - i.e. ouya framework does not see it as built-in camera.)

with stock ouya, I had no problem seeing video using a couple different free webcam apps from google store. this was with 2 different webcams, one was a fairly standard cheap type; the other was one of the endoscope/snake type. both used uvc video driver.

I did try to get them working with several different VoIP apps (in their settings, many of such apps allow you to select audio in, audio out, and video device - from a pulldown menu) - but all of those apps crashed right after starting so I could not verify.

the other problem is supporting usb microphone/headphone - stock ouya most definitely does not (I tested with a generic linux compatible device.) but should not be so much of a problem with EP kernel, since, again, the driver for most of these is supported/generic (but may possibly require CM framework instead of ouya stock or stockplus framework)
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
update for now: i'll keep on making repacks but will not publish the them here anymore, but over at our forum.

I'll still keep you up2date but that will be rather basic updates.

i'd prefere all discussion over at our forum to keep everything in one place - else reports, questions and so on might get lost.

thread for repacked bootimages created here

may be added to OP
[Ouya Android Development] Mattthev:
Some news in first post ;)
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
yeah my ouya still won't boot, the same result as before... do i need to change the name of the kernel? no matter what i do it won't boot but it does boot the stock OUYA kernel...
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
From tpl bootloader menu just do "fastboot flash boot kernel.img" where kernel.img is to be replaced with actual name.

Please read instructions in download thread.

[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
i did follow the instructions, i think it has something to do with my new OUYA cause i just flashed the repacked kernel into my second OUYA from april 2013 and it booted right away, no issues, never got a restart maybe 1 flicker and that's about it... So i might have to start from scratch on my new OUYA and see what happens... Thanks for trying to help tho :good:

[Ouya Android Development] Mattthev:
How can I find out cpu process of my OUYA? I have OUYA form kickstarter, Limited Edition Backer Exclusive...

[Ouya Android Development] primo_4c4:
Install this Kernel is not so safe!! Be careful!!
[Ouya Android Development] niphoet:
Can you be more specific? If you follow the instructions to the letter you'll be fine. (I even f*****d something up due to my own idiocy and it was still recoverable.)
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
There's nothing to worry about, that's why the EP bootloader is there for, to prevent bricking your OUYA, i'm guessing you haven't flashed it yet and that's why your talking non-sense, you shouldn't be scarring people like that, all people have to do is follow the instructions and your good to go, if anything real bad goes wrong (which you will have to be a very special individual for something real bad to happen) the EP bootloader allows you to be able to recover and get the OUYA back to working order... You should DO SOME RESEARCH before warning about false info...
[Ouya Android Development] darkknight1812:
I have a wild idea for why this kernel is having problems for most people. The heatsink is only attached to the board in three places and by unconventional means (solder joints?) It is possible that the heatsink is not sitting right on the die causing the apu to overheat. This also could explain why some ouyas are okay and some are not (manufactor process). I know there is a mod to add a copper shim to it. Also, has anyone tried the noctua fan mod? I have one in mine and it is quiet and cool.

Sorry for not posting to the other forum, but I have yet to create an account. Feel free to copy paste this into the other forum. I plan on creating an account soon,just so busy.
[Ouya Android Development] primo_4c4:
Should DO SOME RESEARCH before warning about false info...[/QUOTE]

OK RESEARCH:

1: First of all.. you need to install a different bootloader, from my point of view very unintuitive.

2. On the ADB installation you need to match the MD5SUMs or your ouya is dead.

3. There is a note allowing space errors saying they are normal.

4. You need to rename the Kernel on the SD for working properly.

5. You need to install on StockPlus or the kernel not work properly. (can't use on stock)

6. After the installation the ouya presents temperature issues produced random reboots.

7. After the installation the ouya presents random screen freezes.

8. If you try to solve anything on ABD you NEVER cant use "adb reboot bootloader" command (there is a confusion on the Eternity Bootloader fastboot mode and the OUYA bootloader)

9. A lots of blank screen's

10. Not dummies guide, no clear instructions. (Browse the multiple developer clarifications)

11. You can lose your ADB comunication .

12. The developer does not publish advances on XDA
[Ouya Android Development] milaq:
the instructions are very detailed.

this is xda developers, not xda noobs.

so just deal with it
[Ouya Android Development] cronikman84:
[MENTION=5423171]primo_4c4[/MENTION] The instructions are very clear, I assume you know how to read right?

1)Yes, you need a to flash a new kernel but it got its benefits( prevents BRICKS,boot other OS kernels,failsafe recovery in case of a emergency) and its very simple and easy to flash if you know how to follow instructions. I flashed it on both of my ouyas.

2)"On the ADB installation you need to match the MD5Sums or your OUYA is dead"<--- fyi your ouya is not dead to the point where you cant ever use it, All you do to bring it back from the dead is RESTORE FROM BACKUP and your back on buisness... This is what it said "If you can't get the MD5SUMs to match, there's some bad problem. That means now if you reboot, your OUYA is dead, so if that happens, prior rebooting, RESTORE THE BACKUP"

3)I never got an error while installing the bootloader ( but its possible and its normal said kholk).

4). "You need to rename the Kernel on the SD for working properly."<---- I didn't know that renaming a kernel would kill anyone or that it takes such a long time to do or difficult at all.

5)"You need to install on StockPlus or the kernel not work properly. (can't use on stock)" <----AGAIN do your research before posting BS, I'm using it on stock OUYA rom it works on stockplus and on stock rom, to run it on stock rom all you do is repack it which is already done for us.

6) The system reboots, screen freeze and flickering is easy to fix, all you do is switch the CPU governor from "interactive" to 'performance" or "userspace" if your OUYA is too weak for the kernel it won't boot.

7)"If you try to solve anything on ABD you NEVER cant use "adb reboot bootloader" command (there is a confusion on the Eternity Bootloader fastboot mode and the OUYA bootloader)"<--- the instruction say "Note 2: DON'T EVER ENTER THE COMMAND "adb reboot bootloader" or "fastboot reboot-bootloader"!!!!, this will NOT get you into the EternityProject TPL Bootloader, but into OUYA's stock one!!!" The new bootloader boots automatically on boot and you do all of your fastboot from there no need for "adb reboot bootloader" or fastboot reboot boot loader" command's unless is too much for you to reboot your OUYA to start fastboot then entering a command?

8)" A lot of black screen"<--- one of my OUYA's currently does it when I try to boot the new kernel, I assume I have a week OUYA, I did the same process on both of my OUYA's, didn't get any errors installing the EP bootloader on neither of them and only one of my OUYA's boots the new kernel.

9)"Not dummies guide, no clear instructions. (Browse the multiple developer clarifications)" <--- maybe it could be a Lil confusing, that I'll give you but it don't hurt to ask once in a while when someone don't understand something or an instruction you should ask.

10)"You can lose your ADB comunication"<--- I think a one or couple of people state that, but others and I didn't lose ADB, this issue was addressed .

11)"The developer does not publish advances on XDA"<--- your answer in on post #67 on here.
[Ouya Android Development] niphoet:
I posted this over at the official forum, and I'll post it here:

I was having overheating problems so I ordered the Noctua fan. It should be here tomorrow (weather permitting). I will report back once I have it installed.

Good news so far. I'll have a new ROM in the making and should be able to publish it today or tomorrow.

Quick question Ouya just pushed out an update since I installed the boot loader and the kernel I will need to reinstall them (if they are still compatible ) if I update correct( I know normally this is the case but I don't know if there were any preventions put in place for these
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
if you did install the stock ota via update then you really have to reinstall the ep bootloader, yes

if you just flash our rom via cwm it doesn't overwrite the bootloader, nor the kernel.
[Ouya Android Development] deathblade:
OK I'll check out the custom, not that it was hard to get the bl and kernel installed but I only did it yesterday lol
[Ouya Android Development] nchantmnt:
you are supposed to stay with that setup.

just flash rom as usual and flash kernel via eternityproject bootloaders fastboot function

that's it ;)
[Ouya Android Development] dom2570:
