Had a bit of freezing, issues with system UI not starting, and the charge LED bothered my all night. Back to stock for now, but otherwise worked pretty well.
Wow. Ran it all day today and no issues with System UI. Other than the charging light not actually disabling, but I just put the phone face-down when charging and problem solved. I do think Skrilax CM10.1 (8/3) felt a wee bit more zippy however.
Oh yeah -- and when set to mute when face down, it does not unmute when face-up.
You really should try Skrilax CM10.1 (8/3) before totally throwing in the towel. Believe me -- I was on Eclipse v1.4 and always came back to that after being woefully disappointed w/ 2.2 ROMs. That was until CM10.1 (8/3).
Update: I was running the 8/2 AOKP and no real issues. Updated to 8/5 and the lock-ups started.
