How to get the perfect running OUYA - Ouya General

I installed es file explorer using dropbox in browser.
Installed all emulators in ouya store for free BTW
Put Roms for NES SNES and N64 on USB stick
Initially had problems finding them but pressing load game and up and locating usbdrive it became easy as it remembered.
I was able to use file expert and es file explorer and shared the apk to my dropbox
It was simple to install
So far tvportal to watch TV and movies works well
Netflix
Chrome
Pretty fun machine to run ol school games and for some media
What do you got and how to have the perfect ouya
Hearing Google play games bit limited this is my next project
Share which apks you got running
Heard amazon store works
Let's make the perfect OUYA

You know there's already a thread tracking working APKs, right? Please contribute to those instead of making spin-offs.
And as far as the Play Store goes, there's also another thread of people working on that, and it's proven to be anything but straightforward so far.

Hulu finally works!

No, I was not able to get flash to install or anything crazy like that. Adobe should be releasing flash for ARMv6 processors sometime soon, so until then you can sit tight and enjoy partial flash support (Yes, you can stream TV shows from Hulu!!!!) using Puffin Browser. It is paid app available on the market, and while it's not perfect, it gets the job done. Video playback is a little choppy, but if you let it buffer things play somewhat smoothly.
Does it work with megavideo?
Yes it works with megavideo but it is choppy and lagging a litle bit, also you can't use the fullscreen mode.

Mmmh... I'm not going to buy it if it's still buggy...
AFAIK Puffin uses cloud computing to render flash... nice one btw!... But I'll not use it by any means for facebook, payments and anything that involves passwords and credit card numbers until im sure that they have secure servers or something...
I will neither condone the act of pirating software, nor will I condemn those that do. I will say this though. I'm sure that one can find many a paid app's apk file if you look hard enough. There is no credit card required for curiosity.

{news} ouya launchers and apps

I have been trying to tweak (sideload) apps to the ouya to change the user experience, up to now ive only been able to install jellybean launcher, from the play store, from devweloper https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.launcher&hl=en its the only one that works with the remote and doesnt force close, ive tried adding a notification bar app, but the ouya system blocks it like a bad virus lol, as well as the google anything because i cant even install gmail, xbmc works great, i downloaded it from their site http://xbmc.org/ and a bunch of emulators, you choose, the app thats a wonder although is not scaled for the ouya is http://www.aptoide.com/ is not google play store, but it allows you to search for apps without downloading separate apks, i also have played ouya games from the ouya market and gotta say are pretty snappy, so thats a relief, if you guys want support from your favorite apps/developers, then go ahead to the google play store and send the developers some good ol' emails let them know we want the apps/games we've already payed for on our ouyas too, makes sense no?, hope you guys find this useful
PS do not install " Go Launcher HD" itll make your ouya useless and un-usable, trust me i had ti return my first one stick to simple launchers because fancy ones tend to switch rotation and they'll get stuck like that, good day
What was useless with Go Launcher HD? I have it installed and have zero issues.

Crunchyroll Ouya App

I'm not sure if this is the section to ask under but here goes nothing.
The ouya store version of the crunchyroll app supports HD streaming but the Google play store version of the app does not. I was wondering if it was possible to back up the ouya version and install it on another android device. For example the asus transformer which uses the same tegra 3 chip as the ouya. Or just any phone or tablet since ouya just runs a skinned version of android.

I think so. Titanium backup for example.
Alright. I guess the next step is, would any one be willing to try. I don't actually own an ouya.

@Kairoku it installed on my phone fine, I didn't go as far as signing in to the service though. Let me know if it works fully for you?
P.S. it was in mnt/asec and I just sent it to Box from ES file explorer.

I am not at home right now to check, but I am pretty sure there were a couple files in the same folder with apk. Will upload them and post a link when I can.

Alright, Thanks a lot!
According to Crunchyroll staff, it is the same app on OUYA and Android, and it just runs in tablet mode on the OUYA. It seems like I remember reading that HD in phone mode is not supported yet. It could be that it doesn't correctly detect HD support on all tablets, either.
Damn, well it was worth a shot. I'm so damn tired of waiting for HD support.

Ouya Store .apk side load to Android phone

Simple
I would like to know if there is an Ouya store .apk I could sideload to my phone so I could download Ouya exclusive titles and play them with a BT controller on my phone.
Dont see why it could not work.
If only it was that easy.

Word of advice, ouya fans have gotten used to much more professional forms of trolling.

There's the Ouya ODK meant for the android SDK, it has the framework APK and launcher APK. it used to work on nexus 7 2012 but it hasn't been maintained and is not something the ouya team really cares about.

They are working on the "Ouya Everywhere" thing (apparently an Ouya app market for other "microconsoles" but I surely won't be trusting it for fear that it will interfere with games I've bought through other channels (Humble Bundle, Play Store, etc) as the Ouya OS did on the actual Ouya device when I tried to sideload DRM-free purchases from Humble Bundle, etc. The excuse I was given was that the Ouya system uses the package name to determine if a game was legally purchased or not. Instant loss of faith in the abilities of their development team for me right there...
Really feels to me like the Ouya project is getting ready to abandon the whole thing in favor of this "Ouya Everywhere" junk, and if that's the case, I'm done with 'em. I'ma convert my Ouya to CyanogenMod and those few games I was foolish enough to already buy from the Ouya Market are the absolute LAST of my money Ouya will ever see.

Looks like you weren't the only that thought about that... This app is right up your alley: Ouya downloader
I came across it looking for other OUYA apps after I went to CM11... So far downloading and installing works well on my Note 3. But I see me using this more on my OUYA..
I want to install that but google play says it isnt compatible with my shield tv console... is there an apk somewhere i can download?
This may help.

You'll need the roms but yes it can be done. Dolphin is in the play store and has controller support

I haven't tried it myself with those specific games so I can't say for sure. Give it a try and let us know.

Looks like it got removed from the play store. It's on fdroid now. https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=dolphin&fdid=org.dolphinemu.dolphinemu
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
So i see a guide helping you to set this up, it says you need to use the old version of dolphin with triiforce emulation (they removed it a while back), so you use Dolphin 4.0-309 to achieve making a save stateas controllers don't work on this version, then install Dolphin 4.0-315 as this version will let you play once you have the save state that skips the intro.
So these are rough instructions i come across and followed, the apks install but force close when i try to open them. Tbf i have only tried this on my phone ATM but not sure why there would be an apk that doesn't even run.

Glad there's some progress. Let us know how you make out. I haven't tried dolphin on shield yet.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Dolphin on shield works nicely, especially the new update with a few different settings you can achieve close to full speed on a lot of games now. There are plenty videos on YouTube of shield running dolphin - check em out so you can see performance.
These apks don't run on my phone or my shield, they just force close so i guess that's the end of the road..
https://dolphin-emu.org/download/list/Triforce/1/ can people try the apks on this list and see if they run on your android device
anyone?
