Hi everyone!
I have just gotten my Ouya device today and installed apps from my Samsung Galaxy S3 like Netflix, Youtube and XBMC... I did try installing some other apps called Showbox, USTV, and TVPortal but the thing is, they do install and when you launch them it goes back to the Ouya homescreen. Is there a way to run *any* android app on the Ouya even if modding the console itself or the apk file of the app? I would like those certain apps to work. If there is none I guess I will be selling it on the market.
Thank you.

netflix, look for the 1.8.1 apk I beleive, you can find it on XDA here.
For youtube, I forget which version, Ill have to check mine and get back to you.
XBMC you can get from OUYA itself, you dont need to sideload it.
I found it best to get the amazon app store installed. Most apps on this seem to run good, since the hardware is similar to the kindle and nexus 7.
I used HULU from the amazon app store and it runs fine.
Im seeing more and more the version 1 of the OUYA was a bit of a disappointment and I was a kickstart backer (only 20$ though).
IF (big IF) they create a version 2 Im sure it will be much better but version one buyers and kickstart backers better get something for being R&D

It's fine. I sold it within 2 days because I don't like I can't install all android apps. It was very good with XBMC though
I have been using xbmc for a while but I am new to using it on top of android. I recently sold me AppleTv and made the swtich to the Fire and I am very happy with my decision so far. That said launching the apps is a real pain. If I could get them in the actual fireTv menu this would be much more ideal as I am sure everyone agrees. To my knowledge that is still not possible at this point. So I am curious how everyone is running their apps. I have read some about launchers in XBMC is this the way to go? What is the best way to set this up?
Thanks

sideload firedtv its the best option i've found for myself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782307
I use XBMC as my launcher. You can add apps to your favourites to launch them easily or even integrate them into your skin if your skin permits it. Works very well so far. Only thing I use the Amazon launcher for is to force stop an App if it is stuck, still looking for a suitable app manager for this so I can ditch the Amazon launcher all together.
Is there any way to get the best of both worlds and use the fired launcher as the stock launcher but still be able to load apps from within XBMC. I am trying to keep this as user friendly as possible for the family who is a little overwhelmed by xbmc still.

This XBMC Launcher gives the best of both worlds and works great. There is a bit of a learning curve, as the Fire TV must be rooted for it to work. But well worth the effort when completed.

Thanks, I saw that but I wasn't thrilled about having to uninstall my current revision of xbmc. I am rooted but I am thinking I might just give FiredTV a shot for now and wait until someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader.

Just backup your XBMC User Data, uninstall current version, install the XBMC Launcher and finally restore XBMC User Data. Believe me, it is absolutely worth the trouble as this launcher is the best option out there at this time. FiredTV is OK but nowhere near as functional and allowing for many features. This launcher literally morphs the Fire TV into an XBMC box.

I took your advice and bit the bullet made the leap last night. For the most part things went smoothly and I am very happy I took your advice. I was a little bummed to lose all my skin settings IE my shortcuts but it will be worth the effort to set them back up.

I don't know how, but HD Widgets works just fine on my Fire TV. I've attached a screenshot (this is Nova Launcher). Too bad I can't do wallpaper as well.
I hate how Amazon had the nerve to remove widget support for all other launchers.
Nice find with the HD widgets thing!
Do I understand you correctly that you're using Nova Launcher and HD Widgets on a Fire TV box?
I use both on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Think they'd work on the stick?
I can confirm Nova Prime and HD Widgets work on my rooted AFTV with Rbox's mods. Was using Fired TV until I read these posts. No comparison. Now have an App Drawer, a Dock if I want it, and the ability to Drag icons around. Can't change wallpaper. Icons are resizable, can be dragged mid-grid and number Rows and Columns is adjustable. Icons and Labels can be edited. Haven't got around to trying Gestures and other features like Folders.

I am using Square Home Launcher Tablet version but the proper way for nova to work is to move around the app drawer icon etc.. with a mouse and add your shorcuts.
Then simply use remote because icons will be close to each other.
Correct?

This is the launcher I installed but haven't messed with on a couple of unRooted FireTV Stick's... Thanks for the heads up Patt2k.... Plan to install it on my Rooted FireTV's but was wondering how much can be done on a unRooted FireTV Stick. I gave the FireTV sticks as gifts so I won't get to play with them to often... But would like know if they have any limitations... I think LLama or MacroDroid can be use to make it launch seconds after the AFTV starts...
Have you tried to change the backgrounds & add widgets to the Square Home Launcher ?? Got any more picks of your latest setup ? I think either one, if not all launchers will need a mouse for moving stuff around since they are made for touch devices... Unless they are specifically made for the FireTV.
Has anybody tried HD Widgets on an unRooted FireTV or FireTV Stick ??

Yes.
Personally, I'm using a Logitech keyboard and mouse through a Unifiying dongle, which lets me attach both without using a hub: the dongle came with the mouse, and then I paired the keyboard with the dongle using my PC, because moving the dongle to the Fire TV. I've also found, interestingly, that this keyboard works with CWM Recovery and the bootloader menu.
To answer another question: any launcher will work without root, but it won't launch on boot, or come up when you hit the "Home" key, which means Fired TV is probably still your best bet if you lack root.

Yes I know but I was just making sure because Nova Launcher basically with remote had no functionality.. that's why I am using Square Home Launcher you might wanna check it out. After you customize your icons it's perfect.

In my case I literally had an extra mouse (mice, actually) and keyboard lying around, and so attaching them to the Fire TV didn't involve any trouble or expense. However, I think anyone who would like the ability to use apps designed for a touchscreen is going to want to have a mouse available on occasion--and it's not like you need it for launching apps once you have Nova set up. Therefore, I don't see any advantage to a launcher that can be set up solely with the remote.

I am using Squarehome Launcher on my non rooted fire tv and it works well except the preferences won't open. Anyone know why this is. I can even change the wallpaper on it but when I select options or preferences it just closes back to the launcher home screen. Works great on my rooted fire tv.
I think that this is a great news to all of us, owners of the Amazon-Fire- Phone:
“…Fire OS 5, the next generation Android-based operating system that powers Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, and Fire phone devices.” -Amazon
http://www.aftvnews.com/developer-p...droid-5-0-lollipop-based-fire-os-5/#more-7426
http://www.androidguys.com/2015/06/19/amazon-has-announced-the-fire-os-5-developer-preview/
https://developer.amazon.com/public...10/Announcing-the-Fire-OS-5-Developer-Preview
Just last month, the FireOS of the Fire Phone received its upgrade to v4.6.1 (which is based on Android 4.4 KitKat), so I really think that this upgrade to Android 5.0 will more than likely be a welcomed arrival for many Amazon Fire device owners... And hopefully will stop the constant complaining, about the FireOS of the Amazon-Fire-Phone, of being out of date!!
Amazon Developer Preview said:
"The only devices compatible with the Fire OS 5 Developer Preview are the Fire HD 6 and Fire HD 7 (released in 2014)".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Stop teasing me, Amazon.
Well, jk, the preview is limited to 6 & 7, for now. They don't have to release a preview for the Fire Phone since the tablets are far more important.
When FireOS 5 for tablets is done, I'm sure they will spend 2 hours pờớping out a version for the phone. :laugh: Based on 5.0, they chose the best L version... *sigh*
It is true that Amazon has not mentioned yet which Fire device will get it first the FireOS-5, but something is happening and at least Amazon has begun to understand that it has to develop and update the FireOS of all it Fire devices!!!
I really hope, that although the Amazon Fire Phone has lagged a bit behind other phones, now could catch up other flagship cellphones !!
I guess there will not be bigger updates for fire phone anymore.
Amazon Germany already stopped selling this phone.

I´m quite sure i wouldn´t buy an "amazon" android product again.
I'm not sure that updating the base code to lollipop is going to help as long as fire OS doesn't radically change too. And it won't.

I agree, but remember that the FireOS is not and is not intended to be or copy the Normal Android System, that all other android cellphones already have...
So, althrough is true that the Amazon FireOS needs to evolve and add some new functions that currently not has, remember that is also true that updating to the new Lollipop will make the FireOS more reliable and more compatible to all new android APPs.
ART might be nice. Being able to use ' ok Google' in apps would be nice but that is activated in settings and Amazon's version may not support it.
Most of the other lollipop changes are cosmetic and some might be available in fire OS or through alternative launchers, time will tell. I would like to have a pattern lock screen. Swiping up and then entering a code to skip a Pandora track sucks. Especially while driving.

I replaced the lock screen with Microsoft Next Lockscreen from the play store. Just don't set up the system lock screen and next takes over. At this point, with nova and next, I just need navigation buttons and stock looking recents menu and I won't notice any difference.

Have you found a music app that will show on next lock screen? Stock fire music app doesn't show up. Also, I see a few pixels of the icons at the bottom of the next lock screen. This I assume is a bug as it looks crap, probably fire phone specific.
It does mention fire phone in the list. Any developers here?

Well, FireOS 4 was released for the Fire Phone months after it was for other Amazon devices. Maybe the fact Amazon hasn't included the Fire Phone in the list it's just that if they did, people would've assumed it'll be released for the Fire Phone at the same time as other more popular devices like the Kindle HDX.

True as in: they have to keep all the app developers happy. Happy as in: provide different platforms (tablet & phone) for monetization of [email protected] apps. :laugh:
Although they have enough devices (all dem kindles) for consumers, it's easy to pööp out a rework of FireOS 5 once it's running somewhat stable on the tablets.

hey guys, hope this thread is ok, just thought id create one post for all to post what exactly they have installed so far with the latest root for the fire tv 2 (rbox)
i along with maybe many others, is new to rooting the fire tv, having owned a 1st gen back on launch i switched it for a htpc back before they was rootable so never got the chance to root one
now i have a 2nd gen, rooted, and looking to get it looking ass much like stock android as possible
i plan on using nova launcher as the default launcher
would love to get live wallpapers working with this (has anyone installed the module for this yet with the ftv 2? )
and of course, when available, id love to have the playstore up and running, ive been keeping my eye on threads about this
so, please feel free to share what you have installed and how well it works
I also thought about starting a thread the same as this.... I've tried Nova on here, & also been wondering what modules everyone has tried or using, only one I've heard threw the forum is a few using rbox's launcher module (not sure what its called?) so they can use there 3 party launcher as a main launcher (belive it's the same module that worked on AFTV gen 1). Hopefully this can be a good little thread if everyone helps.
Also tried to get playstore running but get as far as the 976 error when trying to install or update anything? Also tried with the Market helper apk, & using it on a 3rd party launcher (TV launcher) & a few others but nothing? Only thing is do you need that rbox module to make it work? That is the only thing I haven't tried?

nova has always been my favourite launcher, i just last night got it set up on the shield too,
never played around with xposed modules so they are all completely new to me, ive learned little bits from some posts here already
i have used rbox fire tv mod, what i am looking for mostly is the way to install live wallpapers on nova launcher, im not sure if the method from fire tv gen 1 will work
anyone used this yet?
i agree that this could become a very helpful spot for people to head to if everyone who has tried different modules adds to it
Im using fake wifi connection and it make a difference on apps like FoodNetwork. I am wondering though how do you get to or watch amazon videos with nova launcher?
I have added some xposed modules I have used to my thread some I've tested & some I haven't because when people who are looking for compatible or non working apps/accessories can look in my thread & also see the modules too in one place. But you can add them here too if you like?
