Just the orientation setting at this time...
I don't use the one-click as it won't compile my project properly, by bytecode is 27mb and for some reason the APK built with one-click fails to install. It creates the APK just fine, but no Android device will install it. Works just fine from Eclipse.
I don't see Paul listing any changes to the Ouya stuff in beta 19, but that doesn't mean he didn't...
Have you tried out your APK with beta 19 on Ouya?
If there's an alternate interpreter required then I don't see anything about it.
