My Question is "Will Ouya have the ability to sideload app?"
Also will it have Root access by Default?
don't know for sure, but it's presumed. indications the system will be mostly open. Ouya said some of the system will be closed, but may be opened later.
Since ouya runs android, it must be open at least to some extent..

More than likely in my opinion. It is been marketed as an open device after all.
.........TPT'd From my SGS3
I imagine that if this is not a standard feature, the devs on XDA will find a way to add it
Even if it doesn't support it....

No Arguing with that.
Julie has said that they welcome hacking on their Kickstarter communications.
She specifically stated that "if you want to root it, then root it" in one of them.

Exactly. It's not the official app.
BTW the Thunderbolt RUU leaked and maybe a dev can look in the ROM file and pull the apk if it exists in that phone.

Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ymDAuyiMds
The long-rumored Netflix app for Android is confirmed in the following Verizon LG Revolution 4G demo as being pre-installed on the just-announced phone (expected in the next few months).
Due to DRM issues, the Netflix app will not be released on all phones, and Netflix has not confirmed the phones that will get the Android app yet.
via AndroidCentral. Thanks to FearNo1, Steve and Kevin for sending this in.
well if not all phones now, but soon google did buy the DRM company that netflix uses or something to that extent
lets hope for a rru leak for the LG Revolution

Yeah well it's not fully compatible with Froyo either. Unfortunately the XDA app is a piece of crap and nobody seems inclined to fix it. You'll find copies of this thread in practically every tablet device forum on these boards. I had the same experience with my Viewsonic GTab running Froyo. These XDA crashes go back at least as far as last October.
Some people say if you buy the full app that it doesn't crash, but why would I spend money to buy something on faith when their "trial" app is crap?

From what i understand malicious apps from the play store can gain root access to your device using this method.
I hope this won't be regarded as spam, but i didn't see anything referring to this topic in this forum. If this thread is unnecessary, delete it.
Well another reason to root your device yourself and use Superuser or SuperSU, so you can control what app wants root access.

It's already insisted by Sammy official fw. But I wonder if official jb will also has, since jb main mem r/w mgmt security feature was array system layout randomization (ASLR) which randomizes all r/w processing in random ram address, so it'll pretty hard to get ramsysdump log access.
And also imo that's not a conspiracy by Sammy. I think they infringed consumer privacy rights by opening this exploits to make their bloatware (Sammy apps) runs smoothly without public confirmation.

lol, I am sorry, but that's a bit too far fetched. Just think about this from the end user's point of view (Not power users like XDA users/ ORB sufferers), the negative publicity Samsung will get (Since this issue is pretty much reported across all sites, whether dedicated to developers or just end user tech sites), will have more far reaching implications than any potential sales they will have from "switchers" from the S2. Further, general users tend to take such warnings where their data is potentially vulnerable very seriously (Even if there is a 0.00001% chance of it happening).

You'd be abusing that opportunity if all you want is a free phone out of it. That offer is there for developers who need official Firefox OS hardware to perform hardware tests on their application they are developing which can't be accurately tested via a SDK such as Camera, GPS or NFC capabilities.
If you are interested in App development for Firefox OS then I suggest you test your apps via the Firefox browser on your PC using this addon:

You maybe are right but I don't want the device for nothing.I want it because I want to test some apps that I coded which can't be tested via Simulator or something.It needs real hardware so a real device.And if you don't know I hate making something just to get something free.I make apps,ROMs or kernels just because I love Android and everything around of it.No offense and as I said before you have right but first make sure for the personality of someone or just stop telling b*ll****s.Sorry for my bad words but this is how I felt when I read this!

You are right, I did get a Geeksphone Peak for free (or for developing app for them).
But that was at an hackathon that a company here arranged, so you might have to find one of those.
So before finding out about this I have already rooted with it and now all of the xda admins are advising not to use this. After a good bit of reading I guess this app has sent www.wmshua.com my imei. It uses their exploit and their patches and makes it seem like they made a root method. This is a deceptive app and I wish I would have never used it. The lest this app developer could have done was change the layout of the program and download all the patches and hosted them himself. Not I fear some conglomerate in China has my imei and will use it at a later date to do a worldwide hack or something. I understand there is no going back so I'll just uninstall the app and hope nothing bad comes from this....

Yea it was. Someone needs to dissect the program, see what info is collected, what is downloaded, and what's transfered to the phone and all that dissected. I don't have hardly any knowledge on how to do this but I'm about to attempt this. I wish I had a whole day and a couple adderall I could dedicate to digging into this.
I'm in no special hurry to root my 9005, so I can happily wait for the next version. Hopefully somebody more knowledgeable than I can take that *.exe apart and so what load it carries, if any.
In any case caution is a virtue...
Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk
The reason manufacturers and carriers do not like rooting is the security issues. It has nothing to do with them trying to prevent tethering or modifications. With that said any root method not developed and hosted on XDA by a known developer should be used with extreme caution. Exploits are not required to have source posted and it takes a great deal of time and effort to reverse them to see what they do.
I would encourage everyone to make their own decisions on this. I'm keeping my Kingo root, as I contacted them and was satisfied with the response I received. I like open source as much as the next guy, but not every piece of software can be open source. That doesn't mean that the application is malware.

I have to agree with you. I'm not even remotely worried about it. The program works.
It scares people on here, so maybe not host it on XDA, but Kingo has their own site.

I understand the fear. Its also interesting that they have a root method for many devices. So maybe they have a reason to not be so open. Maybe they've found the mother of exploits and they don't want it to be closed.
Or with all this talk about how they want to keep root free but pay their devs means they are going to use this super exploit to lock devices and charge people to unlock them in order to use it. Idk I'll wait a day or 2 and see what comes of this whether that's a good idea or not idk. Time will tell. Either way I've got designgears' one click stock on my PC just in case.

As far as can be seen the information is grabbed and sent during the rooting process which is why it will not work without an active internet connection. Kingo is working on a revision to remove the data collection.
