I downloaded it last night, gonna nandroid and flash it this morning. This looks pretty sweet.

It is a very nice eye candy ROM. While I like it I also want functionality. This ROM works great however there were a few things I was not liking about it. First there is no quick settings in the notification. It loads up with no file manager (Not a big deal but still nice when they have them)

Aesthetically pleasing but missing some important things if you ask me. Only real issue that I found was a voice mail that would not come in however not sure if this is a rom issue or a network issue. Please download and use this ROM for a day and check it for yourself. A Great ROM its just missing peices IMO. deffinately gota steal some stuff from this one :D

I found that if you tap the bad seed customs header in the drop down that brings up the quicksettings tab.

I nandroided back to meanROM after a few hours with it though.

I ended up flashing this today. I ran it since this morning.

I like it alot. The themeing isn't over the top, it has quick settings that you access by touching Tranquility in the staus bar, Volume rocker to skip songs.and a few other things.

The only problem I had was I couldn't switch my Keyboard so I flashed in the IME switcher that the have in the OP of XDA.

I'll have a better gauge of battery life after a day or two.

I think you can change the keyboard if you go into Swype and select input there.

Thanks DW! I thought there was a way to change keyboards but I couldn't figure it out.
I kind of like the switcher in the staus bar. I go between AOSP ICS and JB keyboards for some reason.

My favorite keyboard though is the Classic IME from Tommy. I used to back it up with TB and use it on all of the sense roms on the OG Evo. (Ugh I hate the OG of that. Seems so weird)

I hope Tommy has a good keyboard on his Rom for this phone.;):D
Edit: Oh I have the Classic 0.1.0 running on my Evo 4g right now. It makes a great Mini tablet.

I tried the swift key once and didn't like it.
I still have it so I may give it another shot.

I connect my evo 4g to my WiFi and use it like I would if I had a tablet. I get email with it. Use Google talk, play words with friends. Watch YouTube videos, surf the web. Stuff like that. Check xda and here. Really convenient. I just leave it in airplane mode and then turn on WiFi.

I have read that you can make it into a remote for your t.v. and stuff but I don't know how to do that.

Just thought I'd throw up my current Home screen.

The Gmail icon was just themed and is in the 3rd post of the XDA thread with a lot of other mods!

They've also created a kitchen with all of their mods that you can create zips with and flash onto your phone with their Rom.

I haven't played with it yet but look forward to it.

The Rom has been updated. RLS 5 is now up.
A few extra things added like a battery bar and Some how where able to make the stock messaging app transparent.
The background for settings is also now black. It looks really nice.

Very nice stuff.
