I know this is probably a subjective question, and may not depend solely on the rom. I am sure people use a lot of widgets, themes and stuff to make their phones look cool. But I am really looking to spice up my phone, give it some good eye candy and all that jazz. Any and all opinions welcome.
Try looking at the post your screen thread in the theme&apps evo4g section. That gave me tons of ideas there.

Hey,
There is no best looking rom it is all a matter of opinion!
But here are two roms that might meet your needs!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325602
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988684
The destroyer rom is really heavy themed but looks amazing and just might fit your needs!
Good luck! I hope they work for you! If I helped please hit the thanks button!

Check out TommyTomatoe's EVO Classic. It's the best I've come across, with lots of options for theming/tweaks.

Most of a rom's looks, in my opinion, comes down to the launcher.
With themes you can make some launchers look like any other launcher you want.

Currently running swipers miui 2.2.17 I believe. Are there any good guides for MIUI? I'd like to get it set up good and maybe do a theme for it.

Try Desire HD vfive by wildstang
Everything is very stable that i've seen except the video recording
idk lots of people are having issues with that
they should really just put the 2.1 until they get it to work :/
Why does almost everyone recommend MIUI? MIUI is nothing but a pain for me, it's always lagging and the color scheme is not very appealing.
That's a VERY vague question and miui is the most customizable rom there is to offer on this phone. As for sluggishness you're crazy what are you running apply and kernel wise?

I agree with Nic. MIUI rocks on this device. It comes with a ton of awesome features, and customizability is second to none.

MiUi is a very well done OS, if it's laggy for you, you're doing something wrong.
It's not my favorite, but it's one of the better ones out there

kk seriously, dunno what's going wrong with you bro
lagging, check to see if you have random tasks bogging you down, as for color, customize your theme to make it more appealing

How much pain has it cost you really? what else did you install/ flash on your phone that you think it's making it lagging and as for color i really dont know what to tell you. when you post stuff like this, it's like a slap in the face to the developers. be careful how you critique what people have worked hard for..
All i can say is thank you Derek for your work..
Not to beat a dead horse, but I agree with everyone else. MIUI is every bit as fast and smooth as plain AOSP, and with a lot more attractive UI and is more customizable. If it wasn't for the lack of an app drawer, I'd probably have used it longer.

If the only thing you dont like about it is that is it missing the app drawer just install a new launcher like go launcher
Edit: Or install an app drawer from the market like "organized drawer" and it is just like miui has an app drawer

MIUI paired with the app ALTDrawer = pure awesome. it gives you an app drawer while still keeping the functionality of MIUI, doesnt change the screens or messes with the stock launcher either

Thanks, I hadn't seen that. In it's description it says "Move a shortcut of AltDrawer and replace the old app drawer of your launcher", but obviously MIUI has no app drawer icon to replace. Do you simply make one of your dock icons a shortcut to Altdrawer? If you could post some screenshots, that'd be great.
Miui is definitely fastest ROM out there. Not to mention highly customizable. Gonna have to agree with the crowd

So I'm about done with all of the themes I've already made. Any updates may be small things that aren't much work. I would like to start a new project and want to see what themes would you guys like me to port or what kind of color theme should I make? To make this not so hard, I'll add any theme (with its link) to the OP and have some kind of a vote to see what you guys want the most.
I'm only going to start with one theme.
I don't know how long I'll allow this voting to go on but it'll be either until I get a chance to actually work on a theme and I'll see which one is most wanted or something like the first theme to reach 10 or 15 votes?
If you want me to work on any theme please post a link to it so I can find it. And for best results a TW theme is recommended, but not the only option.

It should be good to go. I posted the file in my thread earlier if you want to grab it.
Meh seems kind of worthless to do ICS in my opinion since the epic can run the real thing with cm9. Maybe Sense4 or TW Nature, TW4, Blur, XperiaUI, etc. If you want my advice, do something the epic doesn't already have rather than updates to existing ones or themes that look like what we can run the real thing of. Good luck.

It depends on what you/he wants. They all have their advantages. Personally I like the Dark Unicorn... but ROMs change quickly, so pick one, try it, and if you/he don't like, try another.
The 3rd thread about "Best ROMs". How many times does everyone have to say this: There is no best ROM. It's all based on what your brother uses and needs to be working. He could be a huge bluetooth user, and a ROM could have broken bluetooth. That ROM might be good for someone else, but not your brother. Come on...there are threads about it. And just look in the dev section of what looks best.
I just flashed the latest CM7 nightly. Honestly, its really great. I was all ICS for a long time, and was surprised by how blazing fast and super stable it is.
Edit: Saw your request for links below.

I get the Keyboard lag issue with CM nightlies, but I don't with BlackIce. That's what I'm currently running. I don't know if they do something to pep it up or if its in my head.
I know you asked for AOSP, but I'd also recommend the StockMOD ROM before they added Beats Audio. You could just run ADW Launcher but you get some of the bonuses of Sense. I know people like to grip about Sense but in my experience after about a week of using both, StockMOD was barely slower and got about an hour less battery life each day. Everything worked though and the Sense camera is much nicer.
