Ok guys, I know i left y'all hanging with my other thread with the custom launcher...BUT!! this one is fully working with native Ouya launcher.
You can log in, buy games, re-download games you may have bought on your ouya already and so on. its your ouya now in your hands
All files provided have been release in some form already so i hope i dont get banned for them...
Most are from different SDKs. I just found the right mix and how to make them run by directly inserting them to System.
All files MUST be transferred directly to the System/App folder of the shield, you CAN NOT install them as User Apps then move them to System/App. it will not work this way!!
Download Link http://www.mediafire.com/download/g8hdkw2xr92z9pa/Ouya_files.zip
1). Extract zip to a location on your shield.
2). Use ES File Explorer to manually move the files to System/App
3). Reboot your Shield.
4). Select OUYA Launcher form Home Screen selection.
5). Create/Log in to an account.
6). Enjoy this little mod!!!
I strongly recommend having Xposed Installer and App Settings installed on your device.
Set the OUYA Launcher DPI to 200 - 230 to fit the Shields screen correctly.
I can't seem to get this working. I transfer the files to system/app then reboot but after my shield reboots I'm not getting any options to use the launcher

Try installing the launcher apk as a user app also. (having both one as system and one as user)
or go into your apps and manually start it and or OBBE.

When I go to install the launcher apk it just says app not installed and if I try to launch it from the system/app folder it tells me there was a problem parsing the package so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here

What firmware are you running? I downgraded back to 4.3 because of the KitKat emulation slow downs. And I know ouya runs 4.3, maybe that's the problem.

Well there are several free full games not available on the google play store in their shop and a few that are free to ouya only, like Order & Chaos. Most games work with shield controls also. And its a pretty nice launcher for the shield.

You could always grab the ZipSigner from Google Play and see if it's just a signature issue. Android has been tightening up security.

One thing I did notice that wasn't mentioned is that you have to change the permissions of all 4 of those files to match all the other apk files in the system app folder. I did this and keep getting a force close might be a couple of reasons I am looking into it.

I changed the permissions on the files and rebooted went to the launchers picked ouya launcher and its trying to launch but keeps saying "unfortunately ouya launcher has stopped" so I'm not sure what else to do with it

I didn't change permissions on mine though, just injected the apks, rebooted and it launched into the ouya launcher when I selected it. But I did clear cache and dalvik in recovery before rebooting. Which lead to the "Android Apps Are Upgrading" screen.
Also go to settings and manually set up an Ouya account in accounts before starting the launcher. See if that helps.

question time!
i know amazing frog extracted from the ouya works on shield, but with the ouya mod, do games that I extracted before(dub wars, the ball, and others) work?, or is this problem because of the developers coding to the ouyas Bluetooth module?
---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------
also tried connecting the ouya controller to shield to see if it would work with the extracted ouya games, but it doesn't, its the same as playing gta3 or vice city with the controller, its all wonky, and doesn't work properly, try it for yourself and you will see!
the shield is becoming more and more dead in the forums

Google Wallet for the HTC ONE.
-Easy fix for viper Rom
-Should work on stock rooted w/ wp . -removed Kernal
-Always save your original build.prop before modifying
Using Rom Toolbox
1. Open up build.prop editor
2. Change the following values
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
3. Save changes
4. Reboot device, install wallet and open
-wallet takes a couple minutes to initialize so be patient, it works great!
5. Restore your original build.prop
This method should work fine on stock rooted also as long as you have a kernal with /system wp removed.
Also, if you don't want Rom toolbox you can navigate to /system/build.prop and open the file in any text editor to make the changes.

Honestly I'm not sure where I got it. I believe that it came from Viperrom. Duce says that it wasn't added in d3rpONE (I noticed mine working while I was on d3rpONE, but I think something restored it from viperrom), and the only other ROM that I've run is Viper's.

Here's the link for the working (non-modified) Wallet apk that I use, with screenshot showing it on my One.

Just install the apk normally through a file explorer, no need to push with ADB, or do anything in recovery. I uninstalled mine and tested just to be sure.

I tried that, but when it starts up, it says that "Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network."
I'm on AT&T.
(I guess I'm in the wrong group? I had it running on my AT&T Nexus S just fine, but I really wanted to upgrade
Think rooting would help overcome the problem of being on AT&T? Not sure why it worked on my Nexus S, since it was on AT&T too... I may have bought it as an unlocked phone, originally...

I believe if your phablet is rooted, you can search for the .apk files from the stock file manager and find the samsung gear manager APK - if not no worries!

I did a backup, installed a new Rom but ended up restoring my backup I made so I know it's in the storage somewhere.
So I went to delete the older backup I had in the twrp folder and there are none there and there should be 2 of them, I can see them in twrp, so where else would they go.
When I do go in my storage or shows emulated, sdcard0, and legacy, either one I click on I get to my storage and everything is the same.
Look at the top left of the screen shots of the folder locations, there different but they go to the sane place.
I tried uploading 4 pictures but only 1 shows

I ALWAYS get mad when someone says that on Piratebay or other torrent sharing sites there is just pirated apps/programs in general. You can find everything on PirateBay, not just protected programs. Just for example, I ALWAYS use torrent for work, to share some projects with every people I work with.

I know you weren't saying that. You don't have to be sorry, you said your opinion! You are right, alternative markets are the best (some times) I was just saying that a lot of people say that torrent is for piracy, but actually it's not. No offence from my part
Apks are normally little in size. You only would need 1 seeder. Chances are they are pirated apos
HELP
i have done the below, and still cannot load these apk files./ i have downloaded 3 types of app installer from Play store, and still nothing.
after downloading the apl file, i get to the point where it asks if i want to install, and when i try and click install, it does not allow me to (its almost like the install button is not active or greyed out.) i am using LG FLEX LG-D955

you dont need an app to install an app.....
basically just click on the .apk file, and hit install
not sure why it would be greyed out.
if the security setting is on it will tell you and take you there to uncheck it

I have checked unknown sources. I'm trying to download a song from tubidy.mobi for example. On my S3 I had after you selected the song it gave you an option to play or save using an installer. With this phone it doesn't. It gets to a point that after you "downloaded" the a file and it asks if you want to install, it doesn't allow you to. No error msg, no warning etc. It just doesn't do anything. Have you never had this problem on your LG? I bought the phone brand new from the UK, I live in South Africa, upgraded to kit kit 4.4.2.
Not familiar with tubidy, but let me get this straight:you are trying to install music files you download? Those don't require install
Could be extra Junkware it wants you to install
---------- Post added at 11:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------
If file is downloaded to your phone, just open it with any music player
You should never have to install music files... Maybe try changing the file extension to .mp3 with a file explorer if it's named something different?

So far I've had no luck in rooting the Cam2, I'm missing xPosed and Gravity Box. There are some minor hardware differences between the two cameras and the Cam2 is on JB 4.3. Failing root on the Cam2, one might be able to pull the apk from rom.
Oh yeah we would still need the newer bootloader. It's annoying that Samsung have just forgot about us.

Newer boot loader? Is the no root or recovery for galaxy camera 2? Can find any info anywhere on the net.

It hasn't been rooted yet. Most of the root methods don't work on the Galaxy Camera 2. I'm going to make a request of Chainfire to see if cf-autoroot is possible, assuming I extracted the recovery.img correctly.
I've been able to pull some of the camera app files from my Cam2, not sure I've got all of them. The manifest does have some permissions that don't exist on the original camera.
Has anyone seen a download for the surround shot addon for the gs5? It's available on Samsung apps and for 4.2+ but only for the gs5:crying:

Thanks, just got it today. Its a nice camera!
It's a really good camera. I wanted to get the original Galaxy Camera about a year ago, but for a few reasons didn't. I really don't understand why they didn't include(or offer as an add-on) the surround shot, I have it on my Note3 and I've had that for almost 6 months.
So how is the new root working for you? Were you on the most current fw when you rooted?
Also, do you know of the camera is Knox?
Did you lose data after rooting?

Root is working well. I've got GravityBox(JB), XHaloWindow, and XQuickSettingsToggle loaded via Xposed. I probably won't load any others since there's no way to disable xposed if it goes into a boot loop since I don't have custom recovery.
The camera had the latest firmware(NC2, per SamMobile) and while I was asked to disable a Knox program after I rooted, it does NOT have a root switch on the download screen as my Note3 does.
All data was preserved in rooting, though backup early and often(like voting in Chicago).
Here's the link that I first posted in the other thread:
http://download.chainfire.eu/414/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-sf2wifi-sf2wifixx-ekgc200.zip
I see 4 others have also taken the plunge.
Thanks for the update. Will you be flashing a custom recovery?

Uh, not sure who the recovery experts would be.
I've had no problems with gravity box, I like pie.
Good to know. I have been googling search with exposed module name + boot loop and gravity box popes up a few times. It looks like their have been version that can cause boot loops. So be careful upgrading?

Edit: I don't recommend using gravity box, just tried it very near soft brick. Managed to disable the module after uninstalling grav box, it wasn't easy

That's odd, works perfectly on my GC200.
I turned on edit notifications, pie and then advanced reboot. Next the screen went black camera vibrated for about 15 secs then eventually rebooted. Upon rebooot the android interface was brutally slow with some fc here and there but I managed to slowly navigate to exposed to uninstall.

Not sure about notifications, but I've got pie and advanced reboot enabled.
I'm not sure about using the xposed disabler via the samsung recovery since it's not signed.
Any news on a custom recovery, I asked philz but he hadn't responded yet. BTW do you know whet to download original fw for this camera, in case something goes wrong?
