OUYA doesn't like apps running in the background so it kills them to reduce issues with games you may be playing.

Using the touchpad on the OUYA, hover over the checkbox and tap it to "check" the module.
How do I change the wallpaper?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy the wallpaper you wish to use to "/sdcard/CONFIG/" ( or use a direct link image... see bellow )
Open the file "THEME" found in "/sdcard/CONFIG/" with a text editor of choice
Replace the name of the .jpg ( or .png ) to the one that you copied over to "/sdcard/CONFIG/"
For example... if I copied over a wallpaper called "wallpaperformyouya.png" the line would change to look like this:
Code:
"background":"http://localhost/wallpaperformyouya.png"
Alternatively you can also use a direct link like an imgur link...
Code:
"background":"http://i.imgur.com/Gs16J2V.png"
Save it back to the OUYA and reboot.
Hey man. Thanks for that
But I have two questions:
- Are all mods from your awesome StockPlus ROM integrated here? I'm asking especially because of PS3 Controller support.
- The patch is for the Stock ROM, right? Could you provide a few instructions how to install Stock ROM over StockPlus?
Thanks in advance and again:
Awesome work man

Yes, the only one that's not included is xtheme engine because I'd need to remake the theme since there's quite a lot of changes.

It is... the easiest method of upgrading would be to download 1.2.858 from here and copy it to /sdcard/
Once in /sdcard/ reboot into cwm -> install zip from sdcard -> choose "RC-OUYA-1.2.858-r1_ota.zip" and flash it. Then go back into install zip from sdcard and install "SPP_1.2.858_RC1.zip" over it.

That's easy man. I thought the OTA update would overwrite the recovery or something.
And what about further OTA updates? Will OUYA automatically perform updates or is that disabled by your patch?
I don't want to accidentally lose your Plus-Features, because of new OUYA ota update.

Ahh that's right... you'll need to reflash cwm after applying the OTA update. My apologies as I forgot about that. ( maybe I'll add cwm to the patch so even if you apply an OTA it'll reinstall cwm. )
In terms of updating it's now user controllable... lets say an update comes out and it's one you want to move to and don't mind loosing any features... you can switch to using their update by changing whats in "UPDATE" to represent the latest info. By default though it's setup to not update.

Mmh, isn't the recovery on a special recovery partition?
I don't think it's flashable via a zip file, as normally you flash the whole img.
Anyways it's not a problem for me to fastboot flash cwm again after installing ota. So thanks again.
EDIT: Well, just read it IS possible to flash via zip, sry sry sry.

Netflix outputs in good resolution after a while, it looks pretty bad because it takes no time buffering as opossed in a pc or smart tv.
Great work IncognitoMan....we owe you.
One question through: what changed that the icons in "Make/software" look so ****ty? Is it the theme?
did a complete wipe.
installed ouya stock rom, then installed patch.
no ethernet or wifi, even though the connection is made.
just no access to internet.
formatted once more.
installed stock ouya rom back.
no patch this time.
internet connection works.
any ideas?

In CWM when you select reboot and get prompted "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. FIX?" did you make sure to select no? As it sounds like you are selecting yes which actually kills what I'm hooking into... ( which would explain the issues with that )

It's not like I'm spending a lot of time in that screen
Quick question for you: I remember reading somewhere that Ouya will never get past JB 4.1 as it would break the BT controller functionality (I'm sketchy on details). Is that still true?
The only reason I care is because of the way Netflix handles DRM and as long as we're stuck below 4.3 we won't get HD.
It's sad to see I was able to upgrade my ancient Xoom to KitKat (used as a news reader and Sudoku machine by my GF) and even my Galaxy S (now an mp3 player) got SlimKat.

I selected whatever option it gave me to prevent it from reflashing. So if it said "press yes to prevent", then that's what I pressed. I can't remember what the question was for certain, but I selected the preventative option.
So is it nothing to worry about, and should I just press the opposite?

Thank you for this awesome rom!
I'm very new on Kindle now, just have it as stock as shipped.
Can I just use this installation without anything?
You just mentioned "no rooting needed" but how about bootloader and recovery?
In theory yes but my Kindle has twrp already installed so it is not tested yet. The most important thing is to have the drivers installed correctly.
If the drivers not working right it won't go into fastboot.
Copy anything from your Kindle to your computer if you want to save it as it will wipe everything.
Give it a try and see how it works for you! Thanks
Thank you!
I will try that, and post the result later!
Seams it may give you a Red Screen on boot working on a script to correct this! (shouldn't give red screen if you have TWRP already installed).
Lots of features that I like. A bit if a struggle with pie controls with Amazon native menus at times. Appstore crashes on launch every time. Any solution for that? Also, when entering the app manager it claims that too many devices are registered. Any ideas? Deactivated 10 and still end up with the error.
Thanks for your work

If you dont like LMT launcher you can download Button Savoir from the playstore and dissable LMT, perhaps that would help you with amazon native menus also. Im not sure why your appstore is crashing mine is working, perhaps you can uninstall it with titanium backup then go to amazons webpage and download the app? Not really sure about your problem with too many devices registered, I did have that a while back and I removed some (before my kindle) and wasn't a problem and hasn't been a problem since.
Maybe I should add deactivate your device before installing.

Oh my, I should have checked your comment!
I got exactly what you said, (red screen on boot, and freeze)
For fix it, I got into fastboot mode, flashed TWRP, got into recovery, use adb push comment for copying a custom rom into internal sdcard, and reflashed the rom.
Now it works, and I will try other roms

Yes correct.
I skipped step 1 ~ 4.5(the rom is already broken as red screen, so I do not need to back it up), and just install 2nd bootloader + TWRP (step 5).
I downloaded your rom from another thread, which is RAR file contains TWRP backups.
I pushed them into my sdcard, and restore them. WORKS!
I did not used this "clean install" version.
Uploaded a new version!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Updates:
Go Launcher EX
Go Locker (Need to setup it and activate it as admin and set as default Home button)
Removed CPU Master since stock without is more responsive and you can install your own cpu controlling app
Removed a few things (cant remember off hand)
Added Button Savoir (Still have LMT you can use whatever one you want but BS starts automaticly)
Added Widget Picker so can add widgets on Go Launcher
Added bat file to fix Red Screen and install TWRP if you dont have it (but you must have Run my installer first)
Added bat file to do a complete Wipe SDCARD and all Data(shouldn't really need it)
OP Download is updated!
Now should be able to install on a bone stock 8.3.0 KFHD 8.9 without root or TWRP!! But need someone to test it for me. Should give you root my rom plus TWRP 2.4.4.0!!!

Updated the Rom! Should have working Stock Amazon Kindle Reader using stock launcher!
A little confused......is one of the files in the downloads a file that I can just flash in TWRP as a "restore nandroid backup"?? If so then which one - one file is like 550mb and the other is around 180mb or something. Larger one seems like a complete rom and cant figure out what the other one would be - not quite big enough for a complete rom but maybe big enough for gapps and other apps!?
It's my girlfriend tablet so don't want to screw it up even though i backed up the blobs! Left my laptop at a friends and honestly don't feel like setting up the drivers, fastboot and adb on hers.
Have had the second bootloader and TWRP installed for while. Whats safe to skip???

The one file is a complete system image, the second part is Data to restored in TWRP. To update you Just Run the installer from fastboot then do the restore after that. It wont run the TWRP install unless you run the fixredscreen bat file.
By adding a image with the TWRP stuff already done to it you dont need to do that stuff in adb before installing TWRP recovory. Meaning you dont need root before installing this!

I'm rooted already but haven't yet taken the step of TWRP. I want to go to CM eventually when Bluetooth is working but have been put off by the issues people have had installing the second bootloader. I am on 8.3.0 - can I just run your files and I will be re-rooted and TWRP installed (with the new ROM)? Is it really that easy?!

Yep! If you run the first installer and you get a Red screen dont worry just Hold power till it turns off while still connected to your computer, then run the fixredscreen.bat once its started should tell you to turn on your device and should get you in fastboot if your fastboot drivers are working (of course you couldn't get this far without your fastboot drivers working).
I thought this would be alot more populer making it easy to go from a non rooted device to a TWRP with root. Plus has a way to fix the red screen problem that is common. But seams everyone just wants CM10.1 With i can understand as once the bugs are out I for sure will run! It seams faster but still my rom isnt very slow IMO.
Would love to hear more feedback on this!
PS: for anyone that got unrooted from 8.3.1 this will drop you back to 8.3.0 with root and so far I have not got a update so my update blocker seams to be working!
Fantastic, thanks. I will do this on Saturday
Update: left my 8.9 alone for a couple of hours and found it had upgraded itself to 8.3.1 (even though I had installed it a protection from kindle free) . How annoying - root and some apps gone. Will be installing this rom tomorrow!

So you want the latest Lollipop image for the 2012 Wifi Nexus 7, but no root and no TiBu is holding you back?
You can root the 2012 WiFi Nexus using WUGS Root Tool kit. Get it here -> http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It's real easy to use and it walks you through what you need to do once it's installed. It will download the correct root kernel, boot image, recovery and root.
Once rooted, you can go to Play Store and download the latest TiBu. As of 11/14/2014, it has been updated to work with Lollipop. No need for the Beta version anymore.
It works. I just restored all my users apps from KK with this. Works like a charm. No issues so far.
Here's your Lollipop!

Oops, never mind.
Stuck on 'Searching application data .... ' forever.. :/
I flashed factory images yesterday, so my device is unlocked and I'm attempting to root it.
I've downloaded the cf-auto-root-grouper-nakasi-nexus7.zip, rebooted into bootloader, did fastboot boot the .img, it does its thing and reboots. superSU is there but no binariers :/
I've tried it several times. At one point it kept rebooting to TWRP recovery, so re-flashed boot and system.img, boots up fine, all my stuff is still there along with SuperSU but still no binaries....
Hold on, let me try again with stock recovery.
update: Having TWRP recovery flashed was causing the issue. Reflashed stock recovery in bootloader, rebooted bootloader, booted the auto root image and rebooted. SuperSU is not complaining about missing binary.
Now I'm having difficulties with Busybox. At first it said devices wasn't properly rooted. So I downloaded root checker and it said device is rooted. reopened Busybox, granted it root permissions, hit install and gave me an error about improper root installation.
Tried again and now it's saying "can't verify the integrity of the binary selected to be installed" and requesting i exit and try again.
Great! Root work on Nexus 7 wifi 2012 and android 5.0. Thanks!
Used this method last night and it installed without a hitch but I am very disappointed on how slow, Laggy and darn right unusable 5.0 is. I will wipe and go again to see if it improves but if not I will be happy to stay on KK

I went and did a full wipe and that seems to have helped. Also, after the setup, are you allowing it to reinstall apps from the cloud? That can cause it to be laggy until it's done.
Remember, we are also under ART now. Under Dalvik, applications, after initially installed, would have to be "recompiled" to cache them to the Dalvik cache. This occurred when the app was launched for the first time since being installed.
Under ART, it recompiles the apps once they are installed rather than waiting for them to be launched. So, if you are having a lot of apps being reinstalled, you'll notice it might take longer to install them, and hence, since it recompiles them after install, it could slow down your device, causing it to be laggy.
thanks for the guide, it did install supersu and busybox on my nexus 7 2012 with lollipop, however, titanium backup and others apps that require root aren't working, supersu is prompting to give permission on those but they cannot execute xbin/su command

Did you launch SuperSU after rooting? Also, you to launch Busybox and actually tell it to install.
Did you enable USB debugging in developer options? TiBu won't work without that being enabled.
If you don't see developer options in your settings, then you need to go to the About Tablet section in system settings, and then tap on Build Number seven times.
After that, then the Dev Options will show up and you can enable USB Debugging there.
After that, you'll need to go back into TiBu and then restart it (or reboot).

hello, the first thing i did after flashing lollipop was enabling usb debugging and then rooted with the op's recommended tool, i left it that way untill now, i really don't know what could be the cause.

After using WUGs toolkit to root, it tells you to first launch SuperSU and then install Busybox and ensure it's installed in /system/xbin. What they mean by that is actually launching the Busybox app and then installing all the links for the commands and such via the app itself. WUGs is just installing the apk itself but that doesn't set up Busybox. You have to actually launch the Busybox app and then tell it to install everything. That's probably why it can't find su.
Supersu just provides a way to prevent rogue apps from gaining root access without your permission. The actual "su" command is installed by Busybox.
Launch the Busybox app, tell it to install and then try again.

yes, i've also did install all the scripts provided by busybox, it's not the first time i've done it, that's why is really strange, maybe busybox is not correctly installing the su script (i marked the xbin folder instead of bin in busybox).

Then I'm at a loss. It worked the first the time I did it and then again when I decided to do a full wipe of my device. Not sure what is going on.
You did this via WUGs correct? And, when it asked what device you had, you chose Nexus 7 2012 with the Lollipop image, correct?
Just trying to make sure you didn't miss something.

indeed, i can see the unlocked padlock when the device boots, before flashing lollipop i had a kitkat custom rom (forgot the name), so i did have to unlock the bootloader. the only thing i'm missing is the su command and i don't see it in the busybox checklist of scripts to install.

Wut? No, su is on the system by default. It is REPLACED by the supersu zip, with the supersu.apk to control it in Android.
Busybox has nothing to do with su.

I followed the directions and everything worked. only thing now is that windows doesn't see the nexus7 so i can't copy the tibu backups over...do i need to install any additional drivers?
Storage space
Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere or maybe I'm not searching properly. I have the 16GB model and my storage is now down to 6GB, is there anything I can do to fix that? I used Wugs toolkit to install twrp but I can't find the folder in my internal storage.

Okay first things first let's get a couple things straight. SuperSU is the APPLICATION that allows for other applications to gain root access. When you first run SuperSU it will complain that the SU BINARIES are out of date. This is not important. It claims that you need a custom recovery (typically TWRP or CWM) to install the BINARIES, or you can try install it without it. This does not work, but it doesn't matter, since the out dated BINARIES still function correctly.
It is important to identify the difference between those two to avoid confusion though. SuperSU is the APPLICATION that allows root, and SU is the BINARIES which allow SuperSU to have root access.
I had trouble at first, but after a couple of initial reboots, SuperSU functioned correctly and granted root applications access. Once you have rebooted a few times, try download "root access checker" and run it to see if it works.

Change Screen Size
Guys,
If you wanna be normaly screen size (not original sh.. screen sizes) than download this apk to your phone:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nomone.resolution_changer&hl=hu
NOMone Resolution Changer (its free)
Open the app and you see
"Width" "Height" "DPI"
Change Width to 720
Change Height to 1280
Change DPI to 312
and click on apply
Or second way:
Open the app
Click on "Select device template"
and choose Motorola Moto X or Htc One X
Click on apply and you done
If you dont like this sizes,dont worry,apk will restore stock sizes after 10 sec and after 1 minutes too.
Good Luck to all.

Check the link in the OP? Hit the big blue download button on it and follow the instructions from the OP. In case you missed it, you have to use FASTBOOT to FLASH the KERNEL. So in other words, use this command: fastboot flash boot HTC-Desire-510-64-Bit-Root.img

If you read that thread, you'll note that in order to flash anything to begin with, you're going to need the recovery emulator "FlashGordon".

The alternative approach is manually copying and pasting the zip files to the appropriate folders but I don't know what permissions you have to set for each of them besides the standard 664, so I apologize for not finding a solution, but I have a tablet that is pretty much in ter same ballpark as the MX4 so I'll monitor this thread!

I did manage to get it installed and working without issues.
Follow the guide here: http://bbs.flyme.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=254959&page=1&extra=#pid3301122
Files link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1hq1pPUs
Basic chinese-> English:
1: Extracting installation charm Andrews 5.0 toolkit installation kingroot4.0 Mobile, the phone root, generally a few minutes to resolve.
2: the tmp folder, RE Manager copied to the system root directory, modify ub.sh tick all permissions.
3: Install a terminal emulator, open a terminal emulator to enter expert mode, choose Terminal Emulation, SU checkbox ticked above,
After entering sh /tmp/ub.sh carriage return (later sh space), etc. output stop after a while you can exit the terminal emulator.
4: Install xposed installer.apk, installation charm toolbox, open frame - module check Charm toolbox restart into effect.
I got it installed by wiping my data and trying on a fresh install before doing anything else, hopefully you wont have to do that.
Try removing all xposed related apps/modules before trying and rebooting/ clear catches before.
I used superSU not King user. Ignore charm-toolbox, thats a meizu flyme related module like gravity-box.
Follow the guide, then install xposed installer, mine didnt install, so i pushed in manually to /data/app with correct permissions then rebooted. I think it rebooted first time.
But a couple of times i have had to reboot by holding the power button for 10s because its gone into bootloop when activating new modules, but after it comes back on.
I got it to work another way, but my device is completely different.
What I did was install the installer, but right after I followed these instructions:
n root browser:
go to the /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/ and create folder "conf" (permissions rwxrwxrwx)
in folder "conf" create the file "jit_reset_offset" (permissions rw-r--r--)
Download Terminal Emulator, install and open it. Then:
type "su"
type "echo 0x98 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset"
Reboot the tablet.
Open Xposed Installer, install framework, reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I gave that offset a shot and it luckily worked on mine. Unfortunately, the only way of getting the "offset" code is by analyzing some lib file, which I have yet to find out how to do. That being said, you can always try 0x98 a try as it seems to work on many. The default AOSP is 0x78, and some even have it as 184.
This does, however, fix most of the issues with "unsupported" devices out there, that seems to be the solution from rovo all the time.

Instead of including the third party APK files in the magisk modules/repo, this module, developed by @loserskater and me, systemizes user-installed apps systemlessly thru magisk. Another benefit of systemizing the user-installed apps is that if you uninstall magisk, your settings for the apps will be retained. If you originally install any of the apps above thru an app-specific magisk module (like Pixel Launcher magisk module for example), then when magisk is uninstalled or disabled, app settings will be gone.
If you're on Oreo ROM, you will need this add-on developed by @yochananmarqos: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-privileged-permission-whitelist-t3670646
This module requires installation from Magisk Manager, not recovery.
This module might lead to your device stuck on logo or booting to recovery, I gather it might be a kernel issue -- the closer you're to stock firmware/kernel the more likely it is to work. If it fails, try the "Terminal App Systemizer" instead.
Important links:
README
AppSystemizer commits
Companion app commits
NOW IN OFFICIAL MAGISK REPO!
11.0.6: This is the last "classic/simple" version I could get from github, (11.0.6) which might fail on the larger APKs but doesn't include magisk partition resizing code which might cause problems. It also does NOT include a companion app.
12.0.5: This is the latest "stable" version with the companion app. Based on pre-"magisk 13" template (version 3), but seems to work with magisk 13.
14.0.0: This is the 12.0.5 version migrated to 1400 template (released with magisk 14). Not tested by me, so use at your own risk (but please post back wherever it does/does not work).
The source code (with history) is available here if anyone wants to continue development: https://github.com/stangri/AppSystemizer
So since the new apk for Pixel Launcher is available and it has a different signature than previously leaked apk files, here's the list of steps you need to take to replace your Pixel Launcher if used with this module:
1. Go to Magisk Manager and delete (or disable) the App Systemizer module.
2. Reboot.
3. After step 2 your Pixel Launcher should no longer be a system app and you should be able to uninstall old Pixel Launcher -- do so (with your favourite root uninstall app or thru System Settings -> Apps -> Pixel Launcher -> Uninstall).
4. Install the new Pixel Launcher.
5. Add again (or reactivate) the App Systemizer module.
6. Reboot TWICE.
7. The new Pixel Launcher should be active and working as a system app now.

Can it support Cerberus anti-theft?

It sure can, I'm not sure if the "magiskized" Cerberus would survive data reset tho. Can you try it out please? Just make sure to reboot TWICE after installing the attached module before the big reset.
OK. It will be this weekend before I can get to it. Doing all the research and downloading ahead of time. Figured I would try some of this systemless stuff out before upgrading to far. Not upgrading to N yet but is this systemmless stuff seem to be working OK with N?

Smart move. Yeah, no major issues on Nexus 6 and released Nougat. DP5 was draining my battery, but that seems to have been fixed in the release build. There seems to be a problem with magisk CACHE modules (they don't install on Nexus 6) but these are far and few between.
BTW, OTAs which affect the boot partition will kill magiskized Cerberus until you reflash magisk.

Should this make Cerberus show up as a system app in something like Titanium backup? I can't get Cerberus to turn on gps like it would if it was installed as a system app. Shouldn't this allow it to behave like a system app or am I wishing for to much?
FYI
I had Cerberus installed first
Ran the zip file in Magisk
rebooted after install
rebooted again
logged into my Cerberus Dashboard and tried to track my phone and it will not turn on my gps like it will if installed into the system
If this is a limitation that can't be avoided I understand. If I did something wrong or can try something else let me know. Also I did this on my nexus 6 running N. Supersu seems to work and Adaway is installed and seems to be working so far. Latest twrp is also installed, everything is systemless so far. Thanks for your time

If you have a file manager which can browse system partition, can you verify that there's a folder /system/priv-app/CerberusAntiTheft and its permissions are the same as the other folders in /system/priv-app? If it's there and still Cerberus doesn't behave like a proper system app then I don't know what's wrong.
PS. I believe installing twrp prevents OTAs from being installed so kinda contradicts the whole systemless concept. I only boot twrp thru fastboot when needed (usually just once to install magisk/phh root).

That's weird, but now we found the reason Cerberus is not working as expected.
Can you please check if the following exist:
/magisk/AppSystemizer/system/priv-app/CerberusAntiTheft
/data/app/com.lsdroid.cerberus* (could be -1, -2, etc).
If there's no /data/app/com.lsdroid.cerberus* -- my module couldn't find the installed Cerberus. Can you find out what canonical package ID did they use then?

So I found /magisk/AppSystemizer but no more folders after that. So /system/priv-app/CerberusAntiTheft is missing.
/data/app/com.Isdroid.cerberus-1 directory exists and has the lib and oat directories plus the base.a pk in it. Forgive my lack of knowledge on this but how do I find the canonical package ID?

Ok, I sincerely hope you just grabbed the attachment from the first post (which I posted before I added Cerberus support) and not from my reply to you down in the thread. Was the ZIP file you installed named AppSystemizer.zip or AppSystemizer-Cerberus.zip?
I still don't want to update the original attachment, so could you please add the ZIP attached to this reply to magisk and then reboot twice.
PS. If you're reading this on mobile, I don't know how the attachments show up for you, but you need the most recent AppSystemizer-Cerberus.zip file from this thread.
OK, so I deleted the old zip, it was AppSystemizer-Cerberus.zip, and removed the module. Rebooted and verified that it was removed from the magisk directory, rebooted one more time, then installed the zip you just posted for me. Rebooted twice. Went through and looked for the directories you had me looking for earlier, and they are still not there. Let me know what else I can do.

Just installed Cerberus app and got it converted to systemless with the module.
Can you PM me (or post here) the magisk log?
PS. Does magisk have root access?

Magisk has root access. Or at least I get the toast notification saying it was granted and it shows up in the SuperSU logs. I'm sure I have done something wrong, or something didn't install correctly. Just not sure what.

I'm sure it's just MM vs N difference and nothing you didn't do. Thanks for sticking by. Can you please try replacing the module with the attached AppSystemizer-debug.zip, rebooting and posting/PMing the log. This version should print stuff to the magisk log file helping me figure out what's going on.
PS. No need to uninstall existing module, just add this ZIP over the old one.
