I own Ouya controller and nVidia Shield Tablet but Ouya controller seems to have wrong keymaps, when I launch Portal or Half Life 2 character tends to spin around due to wrong keymaps, is there a correct keymap definitions for Ouya controller to make it work with stock android? I have root access on Shield Tablet.
I've searched forums for it but couldn't find anything relevant to my case.
Thanks.
I've found my answer in that thread;

I'm leaving the thread as it is for future reference.
(PS: Don't forget to change extension to ".kl" before copying it to system/usr/keylayout)
What do you think of the shield? Thinking of getting one
One of the best tablets I've ever used. It is fast, fluid, powerful and definitely feels like a premium device. I would personally recommend this device to anyone looking for a good tablet worth it's price.
Hope this helps some folks with their Shield Tablet after the lollipop upgrade.

I just wanted to say that your video single handedly prevented me from returning the tablet. Almost all game stuttering (trine 2) has all but vanished. It's also running cooler and longer. For all who have upgraded to lollipop, reset the device. It has eliminated 100% of the issues I had with it.
So uninstall Facebook and factory reset?

This is Old news but has become relevant , also I had trouble finding a mention of it in the forums here
I hope it helps for RMA Keepers

Hi i have SHIELD Android TV pro After update 1.4, I get the NVIDIA boot logo and then booting stops at a Fastboot Menu .......
i try to fastboot oem unlock but it give me
C:\adb>fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED (remote: Read less bytes than expected)
finished. total time: 57.252s
i am trying to downgrade to 1.3
how ti fix it ?
According to Nvidia, this is due to a faulty hard drive. They are offering quick RMA service for it. If that is the case, you probably aren't going to fix this issue. They are using some strange file system on the pro's. This is why no one can replace the hybrid drives in them as well.
There is a way to recover from fast boot look on the official Nvidia forum and there is a way to connect to your PC and recover.
Although one of their posts does say that the problem is due to a faulty drive and would eventually have to be replaced anyways.
This happened to me. So I RMA it and they were GREAT!
I highly recommend replacing it. I was never able to use grid without lag every few seconds... thought it was the service, but it was actually the hardware defect causing it
No Quick Rma in Europe
From a very disappointed Nvidia Shield enthousiast,
Owning the:
Shield portable >> almost unusable after the 5.x upgrade
Tablet 16 GB & LTE 32 GB >> recalled for battery risks
Shield Pro 500Gb >> rendered unusable by 1.4 upgrade
I unfortunately must conclude that there is no other product line that i know of that is hit by so many problems in the primary design & upgrade paths. Even my 90s neo geo pocket & neo geo Aes are more reliable .
Shield products seem to be made on a proof of concept bases trying to spark interest with other companies to start mass production of these devices. I therefore think that the primary focus of Nvidia is the chipset and the performance of the platform. The other parts are just packaging that definitely doesn't go through the same testing that the chipset gets, therefore we get exploding batteries faulty hard drives and slowed down handhelds.
SHIELD= (S)ome (H)opefull (I)ndividuals (E)xperiencing (L)acking (D)esigns
So back to the latest fault with the Shield TV,
After updating to 1.4 i was confronted with the same fastboot error, unfortunately living in europe does not entitle me to the same quick replacement that US users have experienced.
After 3 days of e-mail conversation with nvidia support i was asked to make foto's of the unit and also the box and serial numbers.
Then i was asked to ship the unit to a Dutch Nvidia warehouse & was received there without any communication or update by Nvidia.
Concluding:
- There is no replacement sent out before you sent back the old unit.
- The time needed to send out the new unit after receiving the old one remains unclear.
- As a replacement you will recieve a used/refurbshed unit.
Waiting to see how long this process will take and feeling very disappointed.

question how did you get console over the ocean? if amazon or ebay you can send back. and if i'm not wrong if with amazon there not supposed to be problem at all
complete agree with you, very stupid situation experiences with nvidia gaming product line.................
i think i have paranoia and this will happen with me too and according by nvidia words there is less than 1% faulty units, but reading around and stories like yours one ....... something saying to me there is 50 or more % of faulty units and + now hassle with exchange/postage/ some kind of proof of picture/..............complete opposite what was said in nvidia.com
anyway i ordered on amazon from states an d i'm from Ireland, cant wait that happy day or shield will gonna fly away through the window.
will keep inform here how is going on later
Hi Visitor,
I also got the Shield Pro from Amazon at the launching day, guess i got the first batch.
Fortunately for you Amazon has a 30 day money back guarantee policy, so if you experience the same problems you can RMA IT with Nvidia of refund it through Amazon.
The pixellation & slow downs were evident from day one, but i was hoping that the frequent software updates would improve the situation.
Hard to say how many units are affected but the seagate 500 GB SSHDD hybrid drives have a tendency to fail, and knowing from experience that you can't really switch of (power down) the device. So the drive will always be spinning 24H non stop. Increasing the wear and tear on the drive. Hoping for a power down feature in the next update.
You can easily diagnose this when the Shield arrives on the 6th of October, so don't worry too much and enjoy your shield experience. Like all Shield products the concept is great and the design is beautiful being able to use Nvidia Grid on a wired connection is amazing i was able to stream games at 1080i. So there is good news too combined with the expanding list of problems.
The unfortunate acronym SHIELD= (S)ome (H)opefull (I)ndividuals (E)xperiencing (L)acking (D)esigns seems to be true...

So this means when console is off mode but not unplugged from power socket hard drive keep spinning inside? That not good at all, should be known kind of idle, sleep or standby mode. Looks like on first day one if any of this symptoms appear I'm mean pixellation / slowing and specially and of course can't get over 1.4 means better use amazon refund straight away.

Received today instead of 6 October, first what I done this is upgrade 1.4 and all get through without issues.
So I finally updated to 1.4 and got the same issue as everyone had here. So Nvidia sent me a replacement. I wasn't sure what I had in my current unit so I wanted to see if there was a way to factory reset it even though I could not get past fastboot. At first I tried to boot it into recovery via fastboot screen but it just rebooted into a black screen. I eventually found this online. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...-reset-shield-android-tv-to-factory-settings?
After the last step where it says to hold the power button for 5 seconds (I mightve held it longer) it rebooted and I got the boot screen to come up. And now it's completely operational. Wth? Anyway I'm glad it's working now so I can factory reset before I send it back to them.

Hey
I think about Nvidia Shield to my TV, because I would like to have android OS in TV and can play games
Is it still worth to buy Nvidia Shield TV? Or if you have to make decision now, will you buy it again?
Hi,
I have Nvidia shield tv untile the end of last year.
I have no regrets for it, is ever ready, easy and let U so everything U want.
And for now there isn't something that can substitute it with the same power
Heck yeah, it's great. Very powerful impressive and only getting better.
