Desperate for proper cifs support, I tried out the STOCK PLUS rom from the forum but unfortunately it doesn't seem to support unicode characters (I assume the dev hasn't included nls_utf8.ko).
So what I'll do is to compile cifs.ko, nls_utf8.ko, md4.ko myself for the newest build of Ouya firmware that I can obtain, and share them here with people.
However since I'm a noob on this I need somebody to first give me a direction on how to compile the kernel modules. I've searched online but there doesn't seem to be a good tutorial anywhere. Apparently for many people it should be a piece-of-cake task though. If someone does respond and teache me the instructions then I'll do all the manual work and compile these things.
Hopefully eventually this post would be helpful for other people as well - I might compile other modules on demand and share here if I learn how in the end.
EDIT:
OK, apparently you'd need to configure the kernel and compile it with utf8 support.
1. clone this repo: https://github.com/ouya/ouya_1_1-kernel
2. follow the step-by-step kernel configuration tutorial at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110842
3. note when you run 'make menuconfig'; remember to tick the utf8 option in the native language support section
I haven't had time to do this but theoretically it should give you the correct result.
Additional note:
Although STOCK PLUS does not support utf8 charset for smb (confirmed); it does support utf8 for nfs so you can instead do a nfs setup.
