Hope I am posting in the right area. My Ouya is rooted and I have Google play services installed and Google store. My Google account was recently hacked so I had to change my username and password. When I go to advanced settings>accounts>google I can not see a way to remove my old Google account or how to add a new one. When highlighting my Google account nothing shows for removing or adding. Could my 1080p resolution be hiding some button I can not see? I tried the deleting the Google store cache, data, force stop trick but when I open Google play and sign the tos it still opens with my old account. I'm struggling here. ;D
it's kind of stupid - you need to have a standard android "menu/settings" button, which on the ouya is only available as single-click on the ouya controller center button.
so, click into the google account, press the controller center black button once, and it will pull up the delete/change/etc. menu.
once you delete the account, a couple ways to add a new one is simply open up play store or gmail or google voice.
(Iately I find this more and more of an annoyance with certain apps that have no other way to pull up that function. there are ways to map that onto usb keyboard, which are not too difficult with the keylayout files, I think I really need to get around to setting that up)
@tarvoke, thank you. My wife is watching a movie right now but when she finishes i will give this a try. If you figure out out to map it to a keyboard please post it here.

OK this worked very well.
Before I open another thread maybe you can help me with something else. When I download from the Ouya store it will ask me if I want to d/l to internal or external storage but when d/l'ing from Google playstore Ouya does not offer that option. Do I have to move the data and obb files myself?
Hello guys, I am a tech-savvy momma here and I was wondering if I can be able to access the App Store from my Amazon FTV? I wanted to get Classic TV on there so that I can install ILama so I can be able to see my sideloaded apps on the home screen. I bought my Amazon FTV from a guide that roots them for you. His account's name is under his name but if I change it to my account, it being under his account, would that mess up everything??? I need help with this asap! Thanks!

You can change the login to your name. However if he has any of his purchased app from amazon such as AirDLNA. those will have to be repurchased and re-installed on your firetv. You can surely still access the amazon app store.
That means also I'm able to still access my 3rd party apps like xbmx/kodi?
Yea! I was able to deregister from another account to mine and still had all my apps! Now I'm able to get more apps and still see my side loaded apps still on there + was able to use llama to get xbmc to show up on the hone screen using Classic TV! That's so cool! I wonder can you use another TV app to open xbmc in?

Even purchased apps stay, however when you change your login, the purchased app will send you a popup that you are not licensed to use the app. That's what happened with the Airplan DLNA app when I changed the login. The Sideloaded apps stay just fine, regardless of the Amazon message stating that you will loose your settings.
Hi,
I'm having some difficulty suddently with my rooted FireTV. As some background, I live in Canada but have the FireTV using a USA IP via a VPN.
When I use the Amazon UI and go down to the "Featured Apps" section and choose Netflix, I get a login screen for the Amazon App Store, with my name, and a button saying "Continue". But the screen is frozen--I have no way of selecting anything or backing out of anything. After a few seconds, the screen disappears and I'm taken back to the Featured Apps list, with Netflix still highlighted.
However, if I go down to the "Apps" section and simply select Netflix from the list, it works flawlessly and without a problem.
It's almost like something's gotten corrupted somehow. Is there any way to get Netflix to work in the Featured Apps section?
Hi Guys, newbie here and new to setting up Aftv. I fully loaded a new box this morning with kodi and the kodi app to the homepage with Llama then unregistered and went back in but all I get is sign in which I do and the "register was successful" is displayed but then reverts back to the register page. Any help would be appreciated.
How do you get the Kodi icon to show up in the apps area on the AFTV2? I have the latest 5.04 upgrade to the firmware but I don't get an icon. I used ADBFIRE to sideload Kodi... have done so multiple times.... Even tried going to settings> account> sync... Nothing works... when I go to the "apps" menu, all I get is a message saying its loading my apps.. they never appear though.
Thanks!
Also... i've never 'purchased' kodi via the amazon app store.. Have only ever sideloaded it...
