Just installed Hashcodes rom and it is ultra smooth. Before that I was running MoDaCo's rom and that was great also. Although I like Jelly Bean, I find the look a little boring since I've had Android phones for years already. Since I'm not very creative I figured maybe some people would like to show off some screen shots of their setup.

Yeah, I am one of the few that find vanilla android rather boring. I am not that artistic and so things end up looking odd and mismatched. I have a htc one s, and I love sense. I liked the amazon look so even though there are bugs, I am sporting the amazon launcher.

I actually prefer the new phone-ish UI to the proper-tablet version. I don't use the default launcher though, I use Apex—but keep it portrait-only like the default launcher. I like my screens in a certain way, widgets and all, and it's just a pain in the ass to try to make them work in both modes. Anyways, these are my screens, from leftmost to right. Number 03 is the main homescreen.
Here is mine. It's the same as it was on 4.0

Like the stock rom if the app is in the amazon app store they show up in high res. The only exceptions are kindle fire only editions which don't show up as available from the appstore and I guess they aren't pulled properly from the server. FYI, I used Titanium backup to restore my apps, and even then the high res icon from kindle fire editions do not show up.
Only wish the prime videos could be played on roms other than the stock..

Bad Things
-Color Scheme
-Launcher
-Error in Callender sync (only in some devices)(thanks to smashbox)(can be fixed by doing a full wipe/restore)
To Make it Good
-Use Nova Launcher (in 8x10 grid) (thanks to aletheus)
Seems somewhat more responsive than Honeycomb though (not with Touchwiz). But still testing.
The looks is according to one's taste, I suppose--I liked the (pure) ICS look on my Galaxy Nexus so have little complaints here on the 7.7, especially after I switch from Touchwiz to Nova Launcher (same on my Nexus).
Added screencap of my homescreen. (Nova Launcher, Suave HD icons, Simiclock Widget.)
I don't know what condition your tablet is, but mine is noticeably snappier.
Just like EVERY SINGLE DEVICE I HAVE UPDATED TO ICS from GB or HC base
- Nexus S
- Motorola Atrix
- Sony Tablet S
Where did you get ICS? P6800 hasn't got official ICS yet.

Yeah, it hit the forums yesterday morning. What a great un-birthday present from samsung!!!
On topic:
I am surprised to be loving touchwiz! Its certainly not lagging, the entire device is much faster. I draw using sketchbook pro and photoshop touch, so the "force gpu rendering" under settings>development seems to have even sped up drawing capabilities. Lag is barely noticeable, whereas before it was inhibitive.
As far as colors, OP, you mean color sceme for ICS?
I'm disappointed to see color banding in gradients still, thouh it does seem a little better now...

The Austrian ICS update does have TouchWiz. It's the new look of TouchWiz 5, as also seen on the Samsung Galaxy S III. There are many new features to explore under Apps and Widgets.
I've put on forced GPU rendering. Touchwiz still seems slightly (but still noticeably) laggy, albeit less than HC

I would like to see the notifications and the lancher.
I was hoping for the same thing a few hours ago but couldn't find anything. Basically just wanna see how the notification expansions work and how fluid the os is in tablet mode. Probably comparable performance but I just wanted to make sure xD

But neither of them have video reviews of it running stock tablet UI with the DPI change mod. They both have it running the 213 dpi, hybrid UI instead.

If you want to get technical then yes it is running in tablet mode, with a Hybrid Launcher BUT I still believe it's hybrid UI since even while in apps, you still get the hybrid/phone-like softkeys and notification bar.

No harm in waiting. I'm in the same situation as you, finally found an ICS ROM that has everything to my liking. I went through 4-5 and found a showstopper issue (for me anyhow) on all of them, then moved on, always reverting to gedeROM 1.7 as my daily driver. Recently tried twa_priv's ICS ROM and it's better for me because I can switch the sides for the notification bar and Netflix sound is loud enough to actually hear. Those were 2 issues that bothered me on gede's ICS ROM. I imagine one of the JB ROMs will be to my liking here shortly but in the meantime I'm perfectly happy with ICS with the SGT7 enhancements.
One thing I took the time to do when I would find myself in TWRP in a flashing frenzy is that I would test the 2-3 backups of previous ROMs to make sure I was comfortable with actually being able to restore versus having a nasty surprise of a bad backup. Later today I'll have my ICS ROM custom configured well enough to call it my new daily driver, run a backup, wipe it and test the latest and greatest JB ROMs from Lithium76 and twa_priv. Once I give them the quick run-through looking for issues I know irritate me in particular, I'll either start working on more testing or revert to the ICS ROM I just backed up. Maybe not the best way to do it but I learn something new everyday and knowledge is a good thing, right?
My dumb question of the day: ICS and JB charging issues... is this global for the Android mod world or is it a Kindle Fire thing only?
Jandycane! Pretty smooth so far.

try the cm10/Jelly Bean off twa_priv it's the same rom but no theme.
Been flashing twa_priv's CM10 Jelly Bean with SGT7 enh...pretty much every day now #notcomplaining
Brilliant piece of work and amazing how twa_priv's keep developing new updates. Coming from Modaco Gr9, this experience is fantastic.
Using Jandycane. Miss some of the mods that were in cm, but that's to be expected considering jb is the new kid on the block.

I agree. I've used avatar before. If you want a different look this should fit your needs. Add this plus the newest miui launcher, which you can also theme (lock screen included) and you will have a completely different look. I liked it myself but find myself always going back to stock.

You don't need to change rom's to completely change the way your phone looks. If you want to change rom's that's great and all, but I'd say that everything cool that you see on mycolorscreen.com can be achieved with the factory rom. You just have to use your imagination and think for yourself.
Lot of options!

If you look at the development you can find some Xperia (sony), Touchwiz (samsung), Blur (motorola) and even LG alike UI's themes on roms, just look at them at development thread. If you want something closer to stock I would recommend Asylum rom, its a darker version of CM10.1 with some improvements and daily updates
Try them and find the one you like the most! Then come and tell us your experience!
Yeah I have PA. There's really no launcher that I like since Nova and Apex change the dock size a little (too spaced out). I'll take a look at avatar ROM.
