So as many of you know, bombsquad doesn't work out of the box on cm11. Fortunately, I've found a sollution!

As far as I can tell, bombsquad doesn't work because it has a built in "protection" that checks to see if your actually using an ouya. It does this by checking the build.prop file. In particular the line that says:

ro.product.device=ouya_1_1

However this was changed to

Ro.product.device=ouya

in cm11.

So summed up bombsquad checks, sees ouya instead of ouya_1_1, and gets upset, and proceeds to commit suicide.

So to fix this, all you have to do is:
1. open up your file manager.
2. go to /system/build.prop
3. And change:

ro.product.device=ouya

To

ro.product.device=ouya_1_1

And that's it! Just restart and the changes will take effect.


Let it be NOTED:
If you install the ouya everywhere stuff, ouya framework will continue to crash, to fix this instead replace:

ro.pruduct.device=ouya

With

ro.product.device=mojo


This works, because in a recent update, the bombsquad developer added ouya everywhere compatibility by supporting the mad catz mojo.
However, it should be noted that, once you do so you won't be able to install apps from th ouya store, and it will keep on trying to update. Probably because the apks in the ouya zip are outdated. For now I can't do anything about it, I might try and get some updated zips at some point though. Just switch between when you need to access the store.

Big thanks to the developer of bombsquad, cm11, bootmenu, ouya, and everybody else. Your all awesome!
