  • He will be offended and outraged you your post dra6onfire. Also outraged that we took the time to carefully craft an objective piece with logic in our spare time with a massive 50 lines and that he was entitled to dismiss us and accuse us of being …
  • I have had the burst input in the past. Have not had it in quite sometime. I do not know if it is because of I have line off sight to console or it's position somehow. Or maybe the two apps I use is xbmc and a shooter game with bots handle it better…
  • Not reading all posts makes sense. As that why it would appear no-one was giving you solutions. The posts need to be a bit long, because your not one to accept "no that is not an issue" as a response. Which we have gone into a fair bit of detail on…
  • Floppy said:and naturally , nobody will do a damn thing to prevent piracy... hidding apks is the best stuff i could come up with in my limited foruming time and nobody proposes anything else. Your obviously reading a completely different forum…
  • Floppy hidden apks are intrusive. Example it is the quite often ouya wifi not working because it is weak. This gives the people the option to download the apk take it to there own/someone else ouya and install it. Sure they will not be able to pay f…
  • 1. I would not hold my breath on a official response from ouya to comment. Even when I know they have read my posts(like when they fixed the forum security issue) they still did not reply. 2. It is a feature that exists on my cheap old android phon…
  • Also unofficial stores are not necessarily a risk. That can be positive. If an app uses an ouya api they still have to go through the screening process. unofficial stores could be good. They will not be default. So you will be opting into a system a…
  • I agree that access to an apk is not a very high threat and more importantly will impact legitimate users more than it will stop pirating. In fact expecting your game to be protected in this way is the worst possible drm and one of the reasons pirat…
  • It appears they fixed it. A little disappointed there was no response, but at least they are listening. Even if they are not communicating.
  • Ok I found an issue. Dear Ouya admins. Posts on the forum allow html injection. PM me if you need details on how it is done and potentially how you can stop it. I am not going to post details here because there could be some seriously annoying th…
  • I am getting the same thing with your webview post. 5 and a half. Though the html source has a lot more. It looks to be broken html. It is in the last comment you can actually see where the html is broken. as "[smaller than]/script[smaller than]/a&…
  • Also noteworthy is that if an android activity is transparent or non full sized window the underlying activity will have a higher priority and not be killed unless there is extremely low memory. Also a transparent ouya menu would look kinda cool. p…
  • I also know there are annoying technical details this will impose on developers. Like after an activity has lost focus what happens if it is closed due to  memory being needed. Well that is just something that will need to happen, and will need to b…
  • That is great news that it will be open sourced.
  • Thank you stolk that fixed it.
  • I think open sourcing the launcher should be a goal. Not necessarily this instant but they should work towards it. There should be no reason not to open source it. From a overall design point of view. Assuming they do not have the store integrated i…
  • I was not referring to testing apps. I was referring to how you can navigate it. People can make there own lists of games by what ever requirement they wish and people can work through them. It also has genres and you can just hit yes and that's a p…
  • Sorry I must have read this wrong. O so tired and so many threads.
  • I hate to point out the obvious but it is probably wise to look at some existing systems and learn from them. I think steam is a great place to look on what is expected. Green light is a good example of what this can be looking at. Really every fea…
  • Isn't this feature something that apps themselves should implement. Likely if Ouya forces it then navigating menus will also be inverted. Plus  you may prefer to have different preferences in different apps. Like fps vs flight simulator.
  • Thank you for sharing all this pvern. That will help me and no doubt many others. I can not what to try work this all out myself.
  • you can side load XBMC. On the ouya browse here and download the apk. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005 Then install the apk. The advantages of this build is that it has hardware acceleration compared to the other android builds. For…
  • Agreed. It is annoying about the NDK has been neglected. Which is giving ouya too much credit in that they have done nothing. Regardless of the argument about native code vs java. People are going to use ndk. Either because it is most comfortable, p…
  • You can use the input device class to detect what controller of if any are connected. It is not ouya specific though. I am going to use that as it opens the possibility for alternative inputs also the NDK support so far has absolutly sucked. In fact…
  • If android supports a device it will show up in the android "InputDevice" class. The describeContents method of an input device will give you a bit mask which will describe the devices abilities. Like if the input device has a joystick and buttons. …
  • Do you have an android phone? It is the same. They have no modified it at all apart from the resolution(as far as I have noticed). Android uses webkit for rendering. The javascript engine I am not really clear on. I would think v8 given that it is g…
  • There are android x86 builds of android. I managed to install one on an x86 virtual machine. Though the ndk code which all of the emulators are based of will need to be built for android x86. So for what you are talking about a usb stick will be use…
  • Look it is definitely not what arcticdog says. It seems like the majority of games on the market will not download and install. I clicked download then ok. Walk away from the tv when I come back a large majority of the time I get an error about the …
  • Dreamwriter that is what android market does as well. Notification that there is updates that when clicked takes you directly to the updates area. You can also get to it through the market as well.I think it is the best way for ouya to do it as well…
  • Piers said: @greeneikin which version of XBMC are you using?  I had this issue long ago and believe a later version of XBMC (rather than a later version of OUYA firmware) fixed it.  Could have been new controller firmware too.  So many moving…
