Since CM10 is still in Alpha, I thought it would make sense to have a general impressions thread for Cyanogen so that we can keep the official release thread uncluttered and focused on debugging/dev useful stuff. This thread is more for things we love about CM, things we'd like to see, things we actually (gasp) prefer about Touchwiz.
So, I'll start:
The good: I friggin LOVE the ring+text battery icon in the noti bar. Pure love. Web browsing is super smooth, even at 1.2. With an embedded video player window, there is no jump from the browser to the player, the vid player acts like it's really part of the page. Even hitting back to exit a full screen stream, it zooms like it's part of the page. Never seen that before. Native notification LED control is just superduper.
The bad: a lot of settings are missing compared to the more mature CM7 releases I was used to on my OV. Call blacklist is a big one. To be expected. Not a complaint.
The ugly: Trebuchet kinda sucks. Can't hide apps, no folders...easily fixed with a new launcher. Minor complaint.
On the whole, I friggin love it. Can't wait for it to mature into customized branch builds.
And another big THANK YOU to the poeople who brought us Cyanogen!

hopefully we should have more issues resolved this week. I have been focused on GPS and also Bluetooth. Charishot has been working on solving DRM and also MP3 playback which will be huge as those files also will be associated with the camera as well for recording. As for another launcher I recommend Nova. I have been using it through CM9-CM10.2 and it's very customizable and is very fast!
my only problems are the low signal WiFi reboot issue, the mp3 playback issue, and not being able to receive MMS. Other than that the ROM is amazing
