Though I would let people know my experiences thus far in case it helps.
MX Video Player did not work nice for me (it stuttered and crashed) I am know running VNC Player Beta for Android, and can't really fault it, although I do prefer MX Players media list view over VNC's folder view.
I am having slow response and crashing in Google currents. No workaround for me.
For a browser, I tried Dolphin, and that was slow and crashed as well. I have just installed Opera Mini, and it is looking pretty good. I do have to admit my provider is renown for bad reception, so the "Mini" may provide a second benefit (lower data requirements)
I downloaded the CM10 theme called Matt Blue from play (used it on my previous JB beanstalk), and it works and provides some nice icons
To configure Halo fully, I have downloaded Halo))) from google play
I'm OC'd to 1.6 and don't remember any re-boots
I have link2SD installed, and now have over 200MB free if I clear all the data from a couple of apps, normally > 160MB on data partition.
I *think* it actually boots faster than the JB rom.
I downloaded the Google keyboard from the market and removed the 40GB LatinIME.apk from the system app.
Installed Lightening launcher (and linked to SD EXT4 partition) and removed the other three launchers that come with Bean stalk. I also removed a few other System apps such as Exchange client and mail as I use POP in K9 for all my mail, including GMail
I have noticed the distortion when you lock or unlock the phone if Apollo is running. What I found interesting is if you let the phone lock itself from inactivity, the distortion won't occur. So its only if you manually lock it (hope that helps the dev)
Today I hardly used my phone (ie screen was off) and got about 9hrs with 70% battery still left (no charging since it was 100%), so by my calcs, at that usage, I would of got about 30hrs on the single charge. And I did view some local video on it (ie screen on)
I had some screen-shot images, but for some reason, they werent working in the thread, so I removed them
All falls in cm/legacy buglists
lets wish next build to covr them up as pocbl. From other sources may b?
I'd like to add more to that:
