Just installed last night works like a dream! The OUYA launcher was way too kludgy, nice to see the full CM experience. Thanks for your hard work getting this to us.

If anyone else uses NFS shares here are my connection strings, I could never get the CIFS Manager/Mount Manager working properly for some reason.

Code:
busybox mount -o nolock,rw,hard,intr,proto=tcp -t nfs 192.168.1.99:/export/Movies/ /mnt/Movies/
busybox mount -o nolock,rw,hard,intr,proto=tcp -t nfs 192.168.1.99:/export/TV/ /mnt/TV/
If you're worried about this being "experimental", just backup your ROM with ClockworkMod. I hadn't touched my OUYA for months, now I've got a working media player which I kind of why I bought it in the first place.

wow it didnt take long for Ouya third party dev work to lose its steam....tempted to get rid of my Ouya now. Cant believe there has been such a small number of vocal devs working on getting CM to the Ouya considering the strong backing of so many older less popular devices. Its a shame but these things happen I suppose.

I think a lot of it was a result of

- OUYA team backpedaling on having OUYA as an "Open Platform" by making the system a walled garden, refusing to share core details(recovery) and all around disregarding developers/backers/hackers

- OUYA hardware (despite being cheap) falling well below quality standards. Particularly with adapter/port issues and Wifi performance

System was such a wash.

Yes, I'd just like to share my anger and frustration as well. I purchased the OUYA just because of high expectation from XDA development, so for me the biggest disappointment of all is the utterly minor support. Devs have already thrown in the towel so this truly is a wash. It's too slow for XBMC and honestly, I would have rather put $100 towards a core i7 machine, with XBMC, my own wireless controllers, reliable wireless, emulators etc. and actually had a better experience than this box crap. I don't even like to OUYA games on the market, they suck!

Still loving this rom! Just missing the Netflix support. For those who think the Ouya needs more bang for the buck, look at Tegra Over clock app ver. 1.7. Also, the Xposed Mod Collection is a must have. Very happy Ouya customer here.

While I share most of your frustrations, there is a few points to be made:
- I don't find OUYA to be slow running XBMC, on the contrary, it launches and starts add-ons faster than my i3 HTPC due to optimizations. I run sideloaded 12.3.2
- 100$ towards an i7 would NOT even get you the RAM, let alone the CPU, Mobo, etc,etc, etc
- most, if not all HTPC builds unless using a specifically chosen CPU (usually underpowered to allow for passive or minimal cooling) will be NOISY. An i7 cannot be made quiet - granted I don't have a lot of exposure to the 4th gen Haswell which has better power req
- forget about games, unless you're an emulator fanatic - as its main intended purpose, Ouya falls flat on its' face here - but so may users see this as a cheap alternative for kids

I got XBMC with 100+ add-ons, Netflix (480p quality) and NAS streaming with BS Player or from XBMC - to me, it is worth 100$ as I was strictly looking for a WDLX replacement.
Your expectations might be different...so this is my (unsolicited) 2 cents.

Did you get Netflix working on this Experimental Cm10 ROM?

Yes, but I moved to StockPlus since then....I don't care about the interface as I boot in XBMC right away.
Could you tell me how you got Netflix to work? I've tried many different versions, and I always get a black screen and a progress bar that doesn't move. Your advice would be greatly appreciated!

All I remember is using the 2.4.1 3000kbps mod from here in the forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305091
I also had at the time "full external screen" in Settings which messed up my bar and subtitles, so I kind of moved away from that setup fairly quickly.
Turned out that it was MY mistake setting "full screen" based on some comments on reddit.
Sorry I can't be of much help as I don't have the setup anymore.

What about Ethernet ? Does it still require some script tinkering or does it work out of the box ?

Still needs a script. This ROM def requires tinkering, but for me, that's half the fun. The final result is more stable than any other I've tried.

Scripting the ethernet is easy enough, but one of the things that made me move back to stock is that certain apps will not detect the ethernet connection. They only look for wifi and if it's not found, then they report that there's no network connection.

I was thinking about trying to set up an ip route that would send all wlan0 traffic through eth0, but I didn't have the time to muddle my way through it.
