ADB OUYA run APK Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Hello,
I will post here my findings. Took me full evening to try working command. I tested this with com.dotemu.raidenlegacy-1.apk
To run from ADB command

am start -n com.dotemu.raidenlegacy/com.dotemu.raidenlegacy.RaidenLegacyLaunchActivity

To stop from ADB command

am force-stop com.dotemu.raidenlegacy

I used AAPT.exe to display:

launchable-activity: name='com.dotemu.raidenlegacy.RaidenLegacyLaunchActivity'

syntax looks like this:

<package-name-in-OUYA>.<launchable-activity-name>

.apks that are installed on the OUYA but are not marked as games are listed in “Make > Software” and can be started from there. You don’t need to launch them manually via command line.
