OUYAlaunch

OUYAlaunch is a custom home-screen replacement for the OUYA Android micro-console. It focuses on a clean, OUYA-styled UI, fast navigation with the OUYA controller and a lightweight code base that runs smoothly on the original hardware.

✨ Features 🎨 OUYA-styled, clean UI

Color scheme and layout designed specifically for the OUYA. Custom buttons and logos drawn for a cohesive console look. ⚡ Fast and lightweight

Optimized for the OUYA’s Android 4.1.2 base. Caches app icons for quick grid rendering. 🕹️ Controller-only navigation

Designed to be fully controllable with the OUYA gamepad (no mouse/keyboard required). All management actions are mapped to the OUYA face buttons and shoulder triggers. 📁 Automatic app discovery via ouya_icon.png

On first launch, OUYAlaunch scans all installed apps for an ouya_icon.png somewhere in their res/ folders. Icons are cached so the launcher grid stays responsive even with many installed games. ⭐ Favorites and genre tabs

Apps are organized into multiple tabs (Favorites + 6 genres). By default, all newly detected apps land in the second tab “Casual”, so you can re-organize them at your own pace. 🏷️ Configurable genre names (JSON-based)

Rename the six genre tabs via a simple JSON config stored on the OUYA’s internal storage. No in-app settings screen needed — just edit the JSO
