Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10 (Jellybean 4.1.2) for Ouya - Experimental
**MUST READ**
Until Ouya releases a proper method to force the device into a recovery state this is considered risky. If you're ever writing to the boot partition and the power goes out, or you flash a bad kernel, your Ouya could quickly become a shiny new brick.
Because of this, the flashable zip I posted does not contain the boot.img. The boot.img is a separate download which you should use fastboot to boot. I recommend using 'fastboot boot boot.img' until this issue is addressed. Of course this means that every time you reboot your device you will have to force it to reboot to the bootloader using 'adb reboot bootloader' and then 'fastboot boot boot.img' (very annoying).
You can use 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' if you want to write the boot.img permanently, but YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. I am in no way responsible for anything that happens to your device.
Right after you install, go into settings and enable adb and adb root access, THIS IS CRUCIAL. You could be locking yourself out if you don't. If you forgot to do this and you find yourself stuck in a bootloop read the section titled 'Stuck in a bootloop' below.
Tested working
Wifi
Bluetooth
Audio
HDMI
Google Play store (Use gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip)
Ouya Controller
Ethernet (Have to use 'netcfg eth0 up', 'netcfg eth0 dhcp' commands since we have no settings menu)
Expect bugs and please report them. I have not tested this thoroughly.
Make sure you take a backup of your stock Ouya using CWM.

Tips
Disable Battery Icon
- Go to Settings > System > Status Bar > Battery Status Style > Hidden
Disable extra notification drawer items
- Go to Settings > System > Notification drawer > uncheck Airplane mode and Orientation
Set governor to Performance
- Go to Settings > Performance > Processor > CPU governor > PERFORMANCE (check 'Set on boot' to keep changes on reboot)
Stuck in a bootloop
If you ever get in a situation where adb is disabled and you forgot to boot the proper boot.img you might get stuck in a bootloop.
The only option is to try the following to force the ouya to reboot into recovery.
- Power off the ouya.
- Plug in a usb keyboard that has a sysrq or printscreen key
- Power on the ouya, right after the boot animation starts press the sysrq/printscreen + alt + i keys and hold for a second
- Wait a second and press the key combo again, sysrq/printscreen + alt + i, hold for a second
- Repeat this until the device reboots (You should see the boot animation freeze after a few times, this means your getting close :silly
- You should end up back in CWM with adb working

Everyone here that started the discussion before I got my ouya. Reading through the threads helped point me in the right direction.
