I had purchased a ton of Ouya games from the Ouya Store and i lets be honest, they have some games that both Google and Amazon dont have yet. I pulled these APKS from the Madcatz Mojo after the recent Ouya Everywhere update.


READ ALL THE STEPS FIRST BEFORE ATTEMPTING.

1.) If you have an Ouya Controller pair it to your Fire TV, Yes it works.
2.) Download and install all Ouya Apk Files HERE

I pulled newer APk from the mojo as of 031715 (I havent tested these yet) HERE

3.) You will probably notice an Ouya App in Setting - Applications, if you attempt to launch that application it will tell you theres nothing to do, so dont waste your time and dont launch it.
4.) Perform unknown sources mod HERE
5.) Install TitaniumBackup Pro and Freeze KFTV Launcher (You will need a USB mouse or something that emulates a mouse cursor)
6.) Hit the home key on your Fire TV Remote, it will launch Ouya Launcher
7.) Log in with your Ouya Account and you should see the normal Ouya Launcher screen Install whatever you want. If for whatever reason you click and it doesnt register your fire remote than use your mouse.
8.) Install any app/game from the Ouya Store
9.) Make - Software, launch TitaniumBackup Pro, unfreeze the KFTV Launcher
11.) Press Home again and you'll get the regular Fire Tv launcher. Launch any ouya app/game you installed from the Setting - Application.

post what games you've attempted and worked.

Works:
Age of Empire
Big Action Mega Fight!
Canabalt HD
Double Dragon
Fist Puncher
Ittle Dew
MiniGore 2: Zombies
Neon Shadow
Nostalgia
ShadowBlade
SuperGNES
TowerFall
Vector
You Dont Know Jack

Doesnt Work:
Amazing Frog!
BombSquad (Upon Launch it'll say hardware not supported)
The Cave
FPse For Ouya (Runs but Crashes when Rom is Loaded)

Do you have to use an ouya controller or will any controller compatible with the fire TV work?

I got it to work without autopilot.

To get back to the KFTV Launcher, you just need to go to Make / Software, launch TitaniumBackup Pro, unfreeze the KFTV Launcher and hit the Home button. No reboot needed

So you were able to successfully reboot with the kftv launcher frozen with autopilot set to launch something? Reason i ask is i would like to disable the kftv launcher all together with package manager, but havnt had the balls fearing not being able to boot back up.

If you disable KFTV, what launcher are you planning on using? I disabled KFTV and installed a different launcher now i get this. I cant access Amazon Prime Video but i dont care.

Thanks for your help yesterday.. i got the balls to try it without autopilot and sure enough as long as you have activated the launcher once (getting its default settings as home) pressing the home key it will boot without any autoloading apps.

I did this with GO Launcher EX and with XBMC (my launcher version)
my procedure was as follows.

I installed GO Launcher EX
froze the kftv launcher with titanium,
pressed home on remote.. Go Launcher loaded. Then rebooted with play/select on remote.
Machine rebooted directly to go launcher

This will of course loose your access to prime videos and whatnot but im really just looking for XBMC myself.
Keep in mind if you choose a regular android launcher you will probably need an airmouse or keyboard/trackpad to get around.
If you use my modded XBMC from this thread it works fine with the ftv remote.

K, so I just want to make sure I'm understanding you guys. You're setting an alt launcher without the need to use the xposed mod by rbox?
Are you accomplishing this by:
1- Installing an alt launcher
2- Freezing the FTV default (KFTV) launcher with titanium backup
3- success ?
That's correct.

FPse works fine on it's own if you side load it or just use the play store hack and get it that way. I've been playing PSX all week this way.

Now that we have OUYA on the FireTV, has anyone had luck porting the FireTV's Netflix app to the OUYA?
