No one's going to help you with pirates APKs. Root your Ouya and install Google Play.

I was getting pretty low frame rate dips with vice city

If you have them on your nexus, you can use es filemanager to backup the apks to the internal storage, then copy them to your pc.
You can also use a program called RealAPK Leecher, and log in with your google account. It will let you download the apks for apps you own on the google play store.

Also, just fyi, before i got the play store working on the ouya, i found out that if you just try to launch the apks, you will get an error. it checks the google store for purchase authorization, and if it doesnt find the store on your ouya, it wont download the data files. If the data files are already in place, it works fine. If you have the games already installed on your nexus, you can copy the data files from there onto the ouya. I copied them from my nook, and it worked fine.

do as the above post says, including copying the ogg data files over. After you start a game on the Ouya, you can copy your save games from the data directory to the Ouya.
The games run fine. But you may want to use a PS3 or something because the Ouya controller doesn't have a start button so you can't access the menu system. It's just a quirk.

Thanks I will give it a try.

OTG storage question

OK mine is working..have a 32gb flash drive. I'm running low on space on my Nexus so was wondering how to move some of the high MB games. TDKR, Bards Tale, etc. They are not moveable with app2sd. I find them with root explorer but there are several files in different locations. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks.

You can move them with OTG but then you wouldn't be able to play them... If you aren't planning on playing them, why not delete them and reinstall when you want to play?
I am not aware of an easier to do what you're asking.
OK. I was hoping I could still play them. I only have about 4 GB left and I don't like being so low on space. I'm still playing so I'll just leave as is for now. Thanks.

Google drive

I was saving some ps1 roms on Google drive. When I transfer them onto my phone they won't load, something changes the files. Now when I use adrive I have no issues. I was wondering if anyone knows what's happening.

What is this file being created?

Hey guys been looking for an answer but only found a thread on evo 3d forums that doesn't have much activity, anyways I keep getting this file created every hour or so and its really starting to scare me maybe spyware or something. Trying to figure out why and where its coming from. Also attached inside contents.

I would download Avast from Google Play and scan sdcard and apps. Not sure what it is. Looks like spam-ware.

Just noticed I scanned it when the file wasn't there. Maybe I'll wait till it gets created then I'll scan?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I found that in my phone the other day too. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't really do anything.
Could be a log file. I'm not sure what it is. I would scan again once it appears. Not sure if it is I needed file or not. I don't have a nex 4 but was looking into getting one that's why I'm at the forum.
You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.

I have removed the apps I have installed on my Device from the above list, The first one that springs to mind is the go backup. I would check there first.

Can you remove a game but keep the save?

I need more storage.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Not that I'm aware of. Maybe something like Titanium Backup could find the data file and back it up. I'm not sure how many people have tried to backup OUYA game data.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
With such small storage space you need to be able to save your fills if you. delete a game. More storage is what we need.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Isn't there already a solution (app) that can move data files off to a HDD?
I haven't tried Titanium Backup on Ouya but with root access, it should work. Google has support for cloud saves but without the framework I don't think this is an option.
DataSync+ requires root and backs up data to the cloud. It also will auto search your network for other DataSync devices and allow syncing (so you can keep multiple devices in sync).
If you have a large drop box or box.net storage this is probably your best option.

I need to know if there a place to find just the save data.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
this is more game dependent. I know you can with GTA3 and GTAVC. The files are in the android/data directory and are composed of the three files. The large extra files are stored in the android/ogg directory. You just need to start a game after reinstalling, than can replace with your old game saves.
Other games, you'll have research or experiment.
Some games have where you can save to the cloud and sync, such ad Dead Trigger. This allows to play across multiple devices easily.
Gta3 is side loaded that doesn't help with things like sonic or a bards tale. I just thought they would have a update for this and to make more storage. You can even go to a list of the games you own so you know what you have.

Office mobile

All, hey. I see Microsoft finally blessed us with some free office. Working good on my HTC one but not available on play store with n7? What's up with that? Is it possible to get this on the n7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It works (as far as I can tell), just find the apk and send it via Bluetooth to your tab and install.
Yes, it works! Use "app backup and restore" to grab the apk file from your phone and use that to install it on your n7.

You can use the App Market Helper to make the playstore think your tablet is a phone, I just checked and Office Mobile app shows up on my tablet.

This, I've had office suite pro for a while now and haven't had any complaints.
When I browse office mobile page in playstore, it says only compatible with Nexus 4. Says, not compatible with kindle hd and nexus 7. Same thing for Amex mobile. May be i can extract the apk of amex mobile from my nexus 4 and see if it works with my nexus 7.
+1 for office suite pro
Kingston and Quick Office are my favorites.
