Alot of games are not working. The resolution is all jacked up.

+1, I approve this thread. Let's hear some more apps that do/don't work.

Only thing that hasnt worked for me is USA Today.
Some look ridiculous in 10" of glory, but they do work...lol

Had some force closes with Dolphin HD but overall it works. Also had some force closes with pandora but again it works. Can't find Tango in the market either and since apparently only people with a Xoom can video chat on gtalk, I have nobody that I can actually video chat with yet until Skype comes out lol.

sling player works, but it is super slow and the resolution is not that great. i will try over wifi in a little while, but i think it needs to be updated by sling for 3.0.
my dinc in the same spot is great with sling running.

Full Exchange sync works:

That's all I've installed so far. I noticed that on the Android Market (which immediately updated as soon as I opened it) has a section devoted to Tablet Apps. Kinda sad to see there aren't very many yet, but I'm sure that will change soon.

nba league pass and game time works

Zenonia works, and actually scales very well in my opinion.
Also,
Astro
Shazam
Gun Bros
Documents to Go
And I wish I could find google body.

I'm having a problem now with the market. Everything downloads but then it doesn't install successfully. I restarted my xoom but still no go.

Are you trying to use your work's exchange server? If so, on my Nexus One I have to conform to the administrator's security requirements to sync to the server. Basically, it means I have to use a PIN lock screen.

It's probably some setting you're not considering that needs to be changed on the Xoom. With this being the first Honeycomb device, who knows what's different. I would ask your Exchange server administrator what security settings they require.

Can you attach a wiimote via bluetooth for nes games and such?

Anyone able to update dungeon defenders or are we suppose to pay for it now ... even though it came with the device

I just did using wii controller IME from the market. Takes a little playing with the settings in nesoid but it runs great and really fills the screen well.

Thanks for letting me know, I think that's the best way to entice mid 20's to early 30 year old people. "Look, I know your iSomething is awesome, but I just downloaded two apps and I'm playing nes and snes games with a wiimote, fo free."

Touchdown
Touchdown for Exchange, the new tablet version, is an incredibly awesome exchange mail solution. Works as well as desktop outlook, with mail, calendar, contacts, tasks and notes all available in a great windowed format.

spare parts is working, it allows unoptimize apps to run full screen on the xoom/galaxy tab.
* 1. Download “Spare Parts” application from Android Market and install it. If you visit us from the Galaxy Tab, follow this link : Spare Parts
* 2. Launch “Spare Parts” and scroll down to “Compability Mode”. Un-tick the box and tick it back.
* 3. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 4. Launch “Spare Parts” again, scroll down to “Compatibility Mode” and un-tick the box.
* 5. Reboot the Galaxy Tab.
* 6. Congratulations. Your apps are displayed in full screen!

So i've been testing a ridiculous amount of sideloaded games on the OUYA and figured i'd post a list of every game i've found that works with the controller. I'm sure there are many more so help me fill out this list!

Legion have you tried Modern Combat 4 the latest meltdown update Gameloft secretly added generic HID support and works perfect out of the box check it -
Also I know Ouya supports Dual Shock 3 pad native, have you tried pushing permissions to system and installing Playstation Mobile?
Direct Download of my PSM Flashable Zip (Or open and push manual) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1467214&d=1352405263
Cant test yet as still waiting for my Ouya
Sent from my SGPT12 using xda premium

I've tried several different versions of Modern Combat 4 and unfortunately none of them work. Since the OUYA doesn't have the Android market the only Gameloft games that will work are from the WAP store, but even then the only one that's working right now is Dungeon Hunter 4. I REALLLY want Blitz Brigade but no matter how I try to sideload it it refuses to work.
PSM does work but I haven't experimented with it much.

You maybe able to later (Check this last post in the Google market fix thread/Ouya developement - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43203621&postcount=31) This MC4 with HID is the latest Google version BTW.

Anyone else have trouble with The Conduit force closing?
I got to the 2nd mission (the one that looks like they pinched it straight from Goldeneye on the N64), about half way through and the game just closes back to the Ouya menu. Anyone know of a workaround? It's seems like quite an entertaining game.

Your post says all gamevil RPGs have you actually been able to get Dark Avenger to work? if so how? I am unable to get even past the intro screen and controller seems to do nothing.
-thanks

Have you tried installing an apk installing the Google Play Store on the OUYA? Don't know if this is possible and haven't tried because my OUYA just got in.

You can't just simply install the apk for the Play Store on OUYA. The Play Store relies on several Google frameworks that aren't present on OUYA, and even if they were, you'd need SU on the console to push the Play apk to system and set the relevant permissions. There's a whole thread about it on the forums somewhere.

As I said I haven't tried it or read about it. Just was making a comment. Have been reading an other topic that they have installed the apk but still don't have any luck on getting apps to work more easely.

How do you get Jet Set Radio to work? I tried to copy the APK and the Android/obb/jetsetradio (or android/data/jetsetradio i can't remember) folder as well but it crashes when I try to launch it
Thanks

I haven't been able to get it to work outside of getting into the main menu either. That entry refers to their retro styled rpgs like the Zenonia series, Illusia series, Destinia, etc. I'll edit that part of the list for future reference. Sorry about that.

Jet Set Radio works great for me, make sure you are copying the obb file to Android/obb/com.sega.jetsetradio/ because as you have it written won't work.

Alright i'll try again. thanks!

Edit: The game won't open, the screen just flashes with a spinning loading icon.
I'm downloading it from the market now
If it doesn't work with the Ouya controller I can also test with PS3, 360, and Nyco Playpad.

Hey guys and gals!
I'm still pretty new to the ouya but I'll try some stuff over the weekend.
Got GTA VC and III working great, no problems.
You can add Pocket League Soccer by Kairosoft to your list of working games. It works with the analog stick and the d-pad although you have to use the touchpad for pressing things. I'll test more Kairosoft games and I guess they'll work the same way since they are pretty much the same games.

How did you get beach buggy blitz to worm with controller?

@paco8 thanks!
@gottahavit Click on the settings button using the touch pad then click controls then choose the "gamepad" option

Galaxy Hero has controller support, but it's a bit wonky and at times you still need the touch pad.
I'm trying out Spectral Souls right now. When it finishes installing (It validated my Play Store Purchase) Ill post how it goes.

Ok, time for some more... Sadly though, my logitech wireless mouse and keyboard don't work. Probably cause they are 5 years old. xD
Anyways, here we go:
Age of Zombies - black screen, not working.
Beat Hazard - working though only with the touchpad which is quite difficult. I used the fixed thumb stick and had to double-tap and drag it around.
Death Worm - working yet impossible to play with only the touchpad.
FIFA 12 - won't download data. I didn't try transferring data.
Gunman Clive - working really good thankfully after changing the controls in the pause menu.
Heist: The Score - downloads data fine, but I can't navigate the menu at all.
The Impossible Game - navigating the menu with the touchpad and jumping with the O-button works great, yet placing markers only works with the touchpad which can be tricky.
Infectonator - only with the touchpad which is quite difficult.
Space Invaders: Infinity Gene - only with the touchpad and in portrait mode which makes it practically unplayable.
Kami Retro - downloads data. Does not respond at all though after that.
Osmos HD - of course very hard to play with only the touchpad, but it's working.
Pac-Man Championship Edt - working with the controller, although it is in portrait mode and strangely there is no sound.
PewPew 2 - also strangely only gives out audio yet nothing working on a black screen.
They Need To Be Fed 1 - loops the first few seconds. Not playable at all. I haven't purchased part 2 yet.
I will test some more soon. This was rather unsatisfactory. Only Gunman Clive and The Impossible Game are enjoyable with the controller IMO yet maybe Beat Hazard, Death Worm, Infectonator and Osmos HD will be easier with a mouse.

my favorite game ,WINDUP KNIGHT works super perfect

Fire HD 8" 7th gen cast support

Got my fire last night, immediately installed play store and google services which are working great. I installed google home, but when i go into netflix and hit the cast button all i get is my vizio tv and my xbox one as options. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I installed netflix from the amazon appstore if that makes a difference. When I go to cast something in chrome both my chromecasts show up fwiw.

See my thread here. I've been trying for quite a while now and so far, I've come up almost empty. Long story short, Google, phone manufacturers and service providers, have done a very good job at embedding their own codes into the source, XML and build props that do one of two things: 1) Enable it (in the future) for only their devices using their services or 2) Added enough code on so many lines and pages, it's almost impossible to filter out what will or does work and for what devices and when. I am doing my best though. I been through two bricks on my XT907 trying to figure this out. Funny thing is, KitKat was one of the few versions of Android that had full support for it. They really did good at blocking it even from 4.4.2 (which is what my phone is).

Kindle reader stopped working after GP Install

So I installed Google play store on my Fire 10 HD, after the install the Kindle reader stopped working nor would it update. Google play worked flawless but the reader stopped working and would not recognize any of the books that we previously purchased where it had prior to installing Google Play. I did a reset as wife likes her books but there are Apps I would like on this tablet as well, on a side note how do you set the home page for the worthless silk browser, instruction on the Web are worthless, why can't I just go to settings and set my home page? ......... Grrrrrrr

It happens because Play Store tries to update Kindle app with it's Google Play version, which of course doesn't work. I'm not sure what will fix that.
I don't think you can change the home page in Silk properly. I also tried. :cyclops:

Silk and GP un HD 10
Silk does not have a home page set, that is why I tried setting the home page. I spoke with a friend who installed GP IN his fire 8 HD and had no issues, so with your reply if I don't use GP to update the Kindle reader I should be good, just turn off auto update and updated nothing kindle with google. I will try this on one of the other units first, also when I installed the files I didn't use the must current files for GP So will try that as well I just used the ones in the videos, I'll keep you.podted on the out come, may gave to chat with amazon about setting the silk home page. as well.

Google Play Games Application - Amazon Fire HD 10 (2019)

Hi,
I'm hoping someone has figured this out as its driving me crazy !
I've followed the instructions to put the google apks on via the android police website, install play store amazon fire tablet article (can't link to it as it's my first post !)
Everything initially seems to be ok, signed into google and can access and download apps from the Play store.
When I download the Google Play Games app it runs ok but switching to the Profile tab doesn't show me any profile information and all I get is the busy icon spinning constantly.
Does anyone know how to solve this ? I think this has a knock-on effect of games not working that require a google games profile.
This is on a brand new 2019 Amazon Fire HD 10.
Thanks in advance

Hi , thanks for replying.
How do you bypass Amazon account registering/logon ? I thought it forced you to have an account.
I've used the toolbox before but only after I have signed in. are you suggesting I can somehow get to the home screen without logging in or registering and then use toolbox ?
