(Mod) OUYA Store and Custom Launcher running on the Shield!!

[uoykcuf86]

I have manage to get the OUYA store running on my Nvidia Shield!

The official Ouya Launcher does not get the job done no matter I've tried,
So i tried some of the alternative launchers, and low and behold... It worked!!
The Ouya launcher in which i used was Custom OUYA Launcher by Manuel Etchegaray.
It works pretty well but in an hour of playing around, it has froze up twice.

Video of it in action!

Any details or just proof of concept?

Just install ODK 0.0.6 onto the shield, manual inject the OOBE.apk from any OUYA rom, Create a new account (wont let you log on to existing). Install Custom OUYA launcher and there you go.

The only benefit i noticed is you can actually get a free copy of Order & Chaos by gameloft (free on OUYA) thats about it. thats why i stopped toying with it.

The other OUYA thread had a working 1.5 that's why I was asking. The stock launcher and everything.

Could you post a guide on how to make it work?

I would like to test it on my shield.

Thank you.

I tested the amazing frog apk from rooted ouya, on shield, and controller mappings work, without this rom, on stock 4.3, haven't tried on 4.4 from todays update, I hope the shield gets more support, as this whole thread on the shield seems to become more dead by the minute, but wwjoshdew seems excited, I cant wait for his video, if he sees this I would be happy!

Oh I just now see it after searching my name.

There will be OUYA videos eventually, but with the FireTV getting root... It's my firm belief that it killed the OUYA. I know, I have both.

Commercially, it was never really alive. Only in the minds of the true believers in the forums. Were It not for the venture capital millions, Ouya would be buried next to the ET cartridges.

Hey Hey now. I Kickstarted the Ouya and while it may not be the ultimate powerhouse console it never set out to be, I still enjoy the hell out of the tiny box. Makes a great portable Media Player/Light Android gaming platform/Trivia Game Night system with the Jack Pack, etc.
