Can you install Android TV onto other devices?
I was wondering if it is possible to install Android TV on either the GameStick, Ouya, Mad Catz M.O.J.O, or any other device like that in order to breathe new life into these devices.

Remote activate android app
I have an OUYA with XBMC installed, and watch films using the remote app on my Android phone. To watch a film I have to use the Ouya controller to launch XBMC. How can I remotely start XBMC on my android device (the OUYA) so not needing the controller?

Changing (Forcing) Screen Resolution on OUYA
OUYA doesn't provide any built-in (UI-based) way to change or force a resolution. This is a problem for some (like me) who have no HDMI devices, and use HDMI to DVI adapters, or simply have devices which do not correctly display the best resolution. (For clarity, OUYA defaults to 640x480 if it can't...
OUYA doesn't provide any built-in (UI-based) way to change or force a resolution. This is a problem for some (like me) who have no HDMI devices, and use HDMI to DVI adapters, or simply have devices which do not correctly display the best resolution. (For clarity, OUYA defaults to 640x480 if it can't display a higher resolution).
To clarify, I'm using a 20-something inch "normal" monitor (no HDMI input), so I see very pixelated writing that's hard to read in the OUYA menu. Some games, like Final Fantasy, appear to display decently though.
This XDA Developers thread found two methods that works for some OUYA users. It's not clear if these actually change the resolution though.
**Method 1:**
1.
cat modes
displays all the possible display modes. (cat mode
displays the current mode.)
2. echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/enable
3. echo (videomodefrommodesfile) > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode
4. echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/device/enable
**Method 2:** Run am display-size (resolution)
. For example, am display-size 1080x720
should change the (virtual?) display size to 1080x720 px. But other users in the same thread report that this causes other display issues, like shrinking the display.
Is there a consistent way to change the display resolution?

HTML5 games for OUYA?
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since [OUYA][1] is shipping with android 4.0 I'll try. Anyway, for those of you who are familiar with the platform I'm wondering if it will be possible to launch HTML5/Javascript games wrapped in app for OUYA? [1]: http://www.ouya.tv/

OUYA has been one of the largest backed products on Kickstarter .
Unfortunately it runs a custom version of Android which does not provide Google Play Store support. At the same time by design it is supposed to hackable so I wanted to explore the available options in terms of custom ROMs.
Are the any custom ROMs available (or planned/in development) for OUYA?
