Installed V.8 beta without any problems - I flash all new ROMs from stock to avoid previous ROM "gremlins".
Installed several programs and games, all of which worked great. Installed several customizations (task bars, etc). Max Manila failed. I'm not sure if it is because I have not been able to find any menus to tweak it, or perhaps the program itself is temperamental. I'm almost certain it's not the ROM's fault, since I have seen similar results with other ROMs. Another issue which seems to be common with other ROMs is the #777 error I get everytime I switch to CDMA only. Although the message indicates that data connection failed, I am able to use the internet and all other functions just fine. Nevertheless, a soft reset seems to help.
Battery drain with bluetooth, data and bright screen seemed to hold nicely. Memory hovers about 50% after usage, and about 45% in titanium mode.
Finally, the transitions are smooth and quite responsive to touch. Scrolling through pictures was smooth as butter.
In all, the ROM rocks!. Thanks for putting this together.
