ouya to root other android devices? - Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This maybe a question already asked and answered...I hope not.
Can a rooted ouya loaded with cyanogenmod be used to root other android devices?
I have a USB keyboard connected to the ouya, the keyboard has USB ports built into it as well.
I know the ouya would have to be able to detect the other android devices and install various drivers.
Any thoughts?

Does anyone know if its possible?

You don't need HTC sync installed just the usb drivers for usb tether to work I believe

My thoughts exactly. When I was running the stock rom (pre-root) on my Desire, I never had HTC Sync running but could connect tether via USB just with the drivers installed.
are these drivers automatically installed by the pc ???? i mean the wireless tether is just run it and your pc recognizes a network....is it this way or we have to install 3rd party drivers (the adb drivers for desire)
Yea you need the adb drivers installed manually it wont automatically do it.

kindle fire stable rom options?

A friend of mine has the original kindle fire which doesnt have built in vpn support out of the box (tun). He doesnt want to do the router trick and is interested in switching software. I have been toying about with various other android devices but not the kindle' so:
It seems cm doesnt support kindle?
If not what would be a good choice in a stable rom for a non tinkering guy?
Couldnt i just replace the kernel on the original software and get proper vpn support?
Any help much appreciated
Edit: forgot to ask - i read somewhere that switching software will result in no streaming from amazon. Is that correct? I am wondering how little i could get away with. My friend basically just wants to get vpn working and prrhaps also google plsy and netflix access etc he does not care for tweaking og newer rom features

Yup, you're right; streaming video from Amazon will be non-op if you flash another rom onto the Kindle. IMO, if your friend doesn't want to tweak and play with his Kindle all of the time, you're better off just rooting / dual booting. That way you can get the Google Play store on the Kindle and put whatever Android app you want on. The tutorial I used was from Liliputing, which gives you root, a recovery boot loader, and gives you the option to install the Google apps: http://liliputing.com/2012/05/how-to-root-a-kindle-fire-with-software-version-6-3-1.html
FYI the stock Kindle will allow you to install apps out of the Amazon store, so if you *really* don't want to fuss with it... Download the APK of the VPN solution you want to try, transfer it to your Kindle, and then install it. Easy peasy.
If you want to go all in on the latest / greatest Android O/S, I recommend twa_priv's CM10.1 rom; it's one of the most solid / feature full Jelly Bean 4.2 roms I've seen, and features Hashcode's very excellent kernal. It was one of the first that I tried and I always come back to it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051331

newb, a few questions...

I've only just heard about the Ouya, i'm a bit late, I know...
I'm after something to replace my pi for xbmc but I'd also like to have mame, SNES and Amiga games on there too using a real controller.
Would anyone recommend a ROM that allows access to the play store and that also allows use of the controllers or is the stock ROM good enough?
CM11.

If you also want the ouya discovery to get to the ouya store games then don't use CM11,from what i hear it doesn't include the store in any custom firmwre for ouya's,but all the questions can be answered as yes except adding playstore on a stock ouya,and all questions from what i can tell are answered yes for the CM11 firmware or other custom firmwares installed on your ouya.
Personally i'd forget custom rom's and play store unless absolutely necissary,it's hard to get any tuition if you are not savvy tutorials around are lacking full detail explination of every process in laymans terms,and besides you can sideload compatible playstore apps and xbmc without the need for modding so if it were me i'd do as i do here and just have everything barr the playstore and sideload apps that are listed to work with ouya.
This saves time and risk of bricking,unless your adept to a.a challenge where the tutorials only explain half the process in detail and have to scour the net for answers that nobody really responds to questions for. And b.your not bothered about possibly bricking the ouya getting one thing wrong will kill it,unless you are adept to unbricking over fastboot,provided you load fastboot drivers before doing it and allways i mean allways make mure adb is on before flashing anything,it is impossible to recover a well bricked ouya if you don't have both working (adb,fastboot driver installed) without bothyou can't then reflash another recovery if something removes it i use ouyatoolbox 1.0.0.0 to fix missing recovery with adb and fastboot drivers fully recognized in windows xp.

Had got cm11 on it,loads of bugs,glitching screen flicker,force closing the browser in use,bad if logged into a site.I had [email protected] loads of trouble getting back onto ouya firmware glad i did though got an old xbox hdd caddy and usb transfer cable.So i have external hdd but cm11 i couldn'get a hdd as the primary install location,GL to SD app worked free on play store,could then add games to hdd in cm11.For all the bugs i can't be bothered so keeping stock firmware/rooted with emulators etc and media apps,at least it works. :good:
Had to revert back to the CM11 firmware just so i can use a vpn vpnoneclick app does not work as it's loading but not auto configuring,i now use the vpn unlimited (now free) app and it works well extremely fast for free user,nut the problem is on reboot or cold boot it enables the wifi when your on ethernet as if it thinks you have a phone and no ethernet so it's a pain you have to keep un-enabling wifi on every start of the app.
Really angry with the ouya from a vpn perspective as i paid for a year and had 9/10 months elite left on it,next thing vpn unlimited will be paid only,the worst thing with google play store of all things is the lack of paypal payment,without that i don't trust them with my credit card details at all.Otherwise i'd pay for vpn unlimited 1yr outright.

hello guys. i'm have a nexus 7 (2013) version and today i root it using latest towelroot app. then i check the root status and its says rooted. i installed the latest SuperSU from play store. but the problem is when i connect my pendrive (fat32 format) using otg i do not get it on mt device. also i tried to connect my xbox 360 controller via otg and it also didn't work.
cay any one tell me the solution how i can use those?? especially the xbox controller. that was the reason for my root and now i cant use it. :crying::crying:
Hello! I don't know about the controller, but did you install something like StickMount for external storage?

root should not be the problem. does your kernal support otg? do you have usb debugging enabled. root explorer to open the files.

Note are you on stock rom? as some roms dont support otg. try using stickmount or go to a file explorer app and navigate to usb. This should work. If you want your xbox controller to work you will have to get an app from the google play store. You will have to do more research on this.

I use ElementalX kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389022 Use Stick Mount App from the Playstore.
Hi.. you could try rebooting while your otg drive is plugged in.. sometimes nexus doesnt supply enough power to the microusb port.. this happens i think if you install custom kernel with y-otg charging support

I do as well v2.15 and CM M10 both the latest, and I can't get the OTG to work while charging. Can you tell me what combination of settings you use as they relate to OTG or host mode? Here's my link with test results in the Elementalx forum

Connecting Logitech F310 Controller to Rooted Device with Pacman Rom

Hi. I am currently attempting to connect my Logitech F310 USB Controller to my phone. It is rooted with SuperSU and I'm Running the latest version of PacROM available for my device. I've tried several third party apps but the only one I can get to recognize my controller is USB/BT JoyCenter. However, neither the app nor my emulators will recognize my keypresses when I attempt to configure the keymap. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
ps: please excuse me. I'm a noob. This is the first time I've flashed a custom rom or attempted to connect a controller on any mobile device.
