Control Ouya from your Android Phone - Wireless Mouse/Keyboard/Remote (Root Required) - Ouya General

For those of you that rooted your Ouya this app is amazing. I downloaded "DroidMote" from the Play Store in hopes of using my phone as a wireless mouse. I only tried this app out for about fifteen minutes but it works flawlessly with the Ouya. It brings up a mouse cursor on the Ouya and the phone acts as a touchpad. You can also use the phone keyboard to type on the Ouya. Root, Playstore and Busybox are required. It does cost $2.50 but definitely worth it in my opinion.
Install the DroidMote Client on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteclient&hl=en
Install the DroidMote Server on the Ouya: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver&hl=en

mmm
I'm not sure if i'm understanding but this app will replace the keyboard is it correct?

Very nice app,phone works as controller on ouya games too!

Just made an account just to thank you dude!!
I've been looking everywhere without luck for an app that could do this, tried a couple none of em worked and if you're starting or quitting XBMC, it can get really annoying to switch from Yatse on the phone to physical controller. XBMC seems to be quicker now with no Ouya controller interfering. I don't think you know how much this made my day!

Looks a lot like spam, bro. LOL
I'm actually using an Rii controller with Flirc and the USB dongle for the air mouse and keyboard. Well, I'm not using it yet since I just got my Ouya in the mail and haven't even installed it yet, but the controller works like wonders (in the Mac and my TV for now).

[Q]Using pairable controller for android games?

Anyone knows if there's a way of using pairable controllers (e.g. ps3 and wiimote) on android games?
Specifically I want to try it for Gamelofts games, since I got Backstab HD and Shadow Guardian working, it would be more fun if I were able to use my already paired ps3 controller to use in those games. There's no input method in the settings of those games, but there has to be a way to do it. Any ideas are welcome
I just did a quick Google search and found a couple of apps available to make this happen. One of them was free the other is payed. They were listed for android devices but made no mention of the Nook specifically. Give it a shot and let us know.

I can't say anything about the Gameloft apps, but I have used a Wiimote with Xenonia 2 and some emulators. I did set it up first with Wiimote IME (I think the app is called, I can't double check android market now). That lets you easily pair the wiimote and set it as the input keyboard. Xenonia just worked with it from there. I don't think I've tried any other Android games.

I know they work on emulators, I have used my sixaxis on n64oid and snesoid. I want to use them for games made for touch screens.
bump, any ideas?

Sideloaded working apps for OUYA

I've got a bunch of apps working, lets compile a list of working apps.
~Netflix
~Hulu
~Flash Player
~WatchESPN
~Dead on Arrival 2
~Beach Buggy Blitz
~At Bat
~Slingbox
~Adobe AIR
Other's I've got working:
- Amazon App Store
- Chrome Browser (can't exit without a keyboard)
- Plague Inc.
- Astro File Browser
- XBMC (of course)
Which version of Hulu did you get working?
None of I've tried the latest from the Play Store as well as the "modified" versions available here at XDA and neither of them work for me. The latest one loads the Hulu splash screen and then crashes, the modified ones just show the main screen no matter what I click on.
- ES file browser
- GBAoid
- Others mentioned
Have others had good luck with Netflix, while I can make it run I have had no luck with audio. Hopefully we get some official versions of some of these soon.
Here's a couple on mine:
-Falcon Pro
-Titanium Backup
Edit:
madmofo145: I had netflix up at one point, audio was hit or miss.
Haven't had any issues with Netflix, but I didn't really use it all the much either lol

How about Hulu?
It was an old modified apk I made, not the latest but it works. I'll see if I will change the new version of it

-YouTube for Google TV (works great!)

Any chance you could share the modified apk?
I sideloaded GTAIII just to try out the stereoscopic 3d support. It seems to work great, 3d display works, controller works, everything.
Then just for kicks, I gave quadrant standard a run too.
Other than that i've only tried the obvious things, busybox, Titanium Backup, etc.
It seems that all those games that didn't adapt well to having a touch screen and not a controller are the ones I didn't keep around, so now I'll have to go browsing through the play store to find them all again.
I would like an copy of that hulu apk too
@madmofo, with Netflix you need to use the touch pad and click to increase the volume. The bar is not working correctly, at like 80%~ on the bar you get no audio, you move it as high as possible, it then works.
I am running NOVA LAUNCHER which now that I finally setup makes the system a lot more accessible. The nice surprise is how well ZEN PINBALL HD plays, the plunger is triggered by the O button not the analog stick. I posted over galcon.com to ask for controller button mapping for DYNAMITE JACK, the directional controls do work already. DRAG RACING also supports the controls for driving.

I didn't even consider this would work. Would definitely like a cleaner launcher.
Do the OUYA games still show up in Nova? Is Nova easily navigated with the controller?

Yes and yes. Though I find Nova easier to use with the touchpad than the controller itself.

Good to know. Maybe I'll try one of the Windows 8-esque tile-based launchers.
My MOGA came with Sonic CD and MC4, loaded them both, Sonic CD works flawlessly, MC4 won't launch
I tried Zen Pinball HD because I wanted to see if the stereo 3D worked - loaded and ran no problem (runs considerably better than the pinball game in the Ouya store - but no analog for the plunger which is a bit of a bummer.)
And yes the stereo 3D "just worked". My TV detected it and switched into 3D mode without me having to do anything. Only problem was one game of pinball was enough to give me a headache...but that's not the Ouya's fault!

Have you tried copying over data files for any other tables? I made my first attempt and now the app crashes at the splash screen.

No I haven't. The Ouya is my first tegra device so I haven't used any tegrazone apps before and haven't tried buying any additional tables yet.

PS4 Remote play app

I've just tried to install the PS4 Remote play app from this other XDA form [http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/ps4-remote-play-t2929147] and it gives me an error saying 'FAILURE [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK] is this an issue with the fire tv or the app?

It's because that app requires KitKat, the Fire TV/Stick is only Jelly Bean.
I thought that might be the case, thanks for clearing that up for me.
Just a quick update, i have found that the apk has been updated and it allowed me to install it on my Fire TV [ http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...play-t2929147] however even when a PS4 controller is paired to the Fire TV, it will not work within the app. I used workaround 2 and it worked like a charm. I hope this helps someone.
So how are people getting past the verification/login screen when they load up the Remote Play app? I've got Firefox instaledl on my TV Stick but when the login forum pops up from the Remote Play app I can't control/type anything in with my remote.

I use dolphin.
Anyone know a way to use the ds4, unrooted, mapped correctly if possible, without workaround 2, because that workaround doesn't work if not local.
this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/mod-ps4-remote-play-native-gamepad-t2975609) someone has been working on an app that supports all native controllers, i testing using an xbox 360 controller and it worked great.
as for logging in, i just got it to load firefox, and then plugged keyboard on, gave a few mins to load and them i could type in my details.

I tested this out and I was able to use the sixaxis controller app and paired my ds4. Everything worked except the touchpad and the PS Home button (PS Home Button is currently configured to take your Android device to its home).
Ive got this working using the 0.73 apk from script kitty.
Working well using the second acccount hwck ( saves me having re sync controller all the time. Plus fire tv is in range of mynps4 foe the bluetooth).
Question is, im missing the little tab on the rempte play app that lets you adjust the settings, so i cant set the video quality to high
Anyideas?
Ihave the apks for 0.6 and 0?70 so i can always try those.

i'm pretty sure i had to press the context menu button on the fire remote to bring up the settings tab.
Ahhh I see I will try that when I get home
Thanks thatbworked a treat
Has anyone tried the Fire TV controller, i paired a dualshock 4 using bluetooth and all the button work apart from r2 and l2, I just wanted to check before i make the leap to the fire controller.
Unable to login
Hi at all,
I have installed the latest version of the app at my fire tv but I'm unable to login to my PSN account as there is no browser window opening on my fire tv box where I can enter my account detail...
Fire tv is on latest firmware with Chrome installed. Any help would be appreciated!

List of sideloaded games that work

Does anyone have a list of sideloaded games from Google play or Amazon that works with the Nvidia gamepad or any other one. Not sure if being rooted or not rooted is of importance!
I would like to see if FIFA 15 works!
I have yet to find a single game that WON'T work. I use Market Helper and then use the web installer so I don't have to sideload the APK files, and they all have worked with a mouse. You can also use droidmote to controll touch games, though I havent' done that I always have a mouse and keyboard at the ready.
They all work you just need a mouse to play the games they made for touch screen.

Has anyone tried any of the games from Nvidia Tegra Zone? I believe they are mostly for tegra 3 but should still work though the graphics might be a little lower?
I haverun games from both the play store, and nvidias own store, and they all work as intended. Even nvidias game stream worked pretty well. I was just playing Saints Row the Third, and set the game on ultimate, and it played with no noticable lag, and yes, I know it's not being run on my system, but mearly the fact that nvidia's servers will handle ultimate with no lag also. Great experience, and better in fact that it was on my PC.

Do apps installed with market helper show in leanback launcher or are they hidden like sideloaded apps?

It's not that they are hidden, but they don't have Android TV support. One of the biggest parts of "support" is having an icon that can display on the TV interface, so they won't show up. I suggest sideload launcher for any non supported apps.
I've been using xbmc/kodi as my launcher and am pretty happy so far.
Can you tell me how to get market helper working? I haven't had any luck getting it to work.

Give it root permissions when it asks. Pick tablet, then nexus 7, hit apply, then ga to a web browser on any machine, go to the play store on the web, and install to the nexus 7 from that. Done.

Why there's so few app in Play store ?

Hi,
I don't understand why only few app are available in Play store ? Is it only a problem of non-touch device ?
For an app like Connectbot (as JuiceSSH), touch device is not required I think, so why is it not present in play store ?
Thanks.
Being a non touch device is part of it. Also some games and apps are also exclusive to certain android tvs.
Many apps including paid (provided your play account has the app license) apps can be sideloaded if you extract the apk from another Android device. Sideloaded touch apps usually need a mouse. I prefer using a Logitech k400r for sideloaded apps.
Also devs need to specifically mark the app is compatible with the forge in the play store. Another issue is the on device app browsing and search of the play store is pretty weak. You may have better luck searching and installing via a desktop browser

Thanks you for this details. I will try some apks (and search in browser, but it's in my browser I saw incompatibility for SSH apps).
I've a probably stupid question but... how can you use a k400r to emulate touch ? Using a touchpad is like always putting your finger on screen :/

The device registers a touch only when you click on the touchpad/mouse.
Yeah I would love for then to step up the apps. Firetv is Android but they have more apps available

Yeh fireTV has way more apps available
is there anyway/place to find out the new app releases for Nvidia?
