okay I've turned my back on the e4gt development since around the first days of the ics leaks... i just spent about 20min sifting thru all these roms (glad to see so much development! )
i have to leave for work shortly... could someone please point out a rom or two that 1. use the stock THEME and 2. have most/all of the mods/tweaks
i hate blue or excessive theming of any color ...except green

Well for one our rom "Goodness" has a green theme and we have a stock themed build also.
FF18 and FH13

Cracked stock FH23 / tweaked calk venum ROM FF18. Both are stock with a lot of tweaks. Both are from manufan721. Both roms are very smooth, stock looking, and very good on battery. Check them out.

My two favorites would have to be StrongSteves Odexed Blue and Phantom Hackers Blazer rom. I tried calkulins it was good but for some reason it was kinda laggy on my device. All devices are different though so you may have a completely different experience. In my opinion though the most solid ROM out there right now is StrongSteves Odexed Blue. He just came out with an update today too! Definite win!
I am currently running Calkulin's E4GT 2.8.1 with the Venum Minimal Black & White theme.
The minimal black theme with a pure black wallpaper I made using Paint makes my phone look just the way I like. Simple and sleek.
I have tried other ROMs and they all felt pretty good as far as battery life and smoothness/quickness. (Blazer, Tnz Blend, etc.)
I keep hearing good things about Strongsteve's Odexed Blue, so I'm looking to try it with the Minimal Black theme, although I am not sure they are compatible.
I never heard of a wake-by-volume key mod, but sounds like something I'd want, too
As far as kernels go, I am on the latest version of Rogue's "stock el29" because their non-stock ones (1.4.1 Gunslinger, 1.5.0 Hitman) keep giving me a laggy homescreen. something to do with Calkulin's ROM's battery saver script i think. Apparently the lag goes away if you install SetCPU.
i was reading some of the features in those 2 roms and didnt see one im particularly interested on and that is wake the phone by volume keys you guys know if thats something included or is there a different mod i need to flash to get that

I have that on StrongSteves Odexed Blue but I am running a custom lock screen app so I dont know if it is that or the rom that does it. Keep in mind also that the screenshots of these roms do not do them justice. You need to see them on the Super AMOLED display to really see how gorgeous they are!

Hi there!
I have a few questions pertaining to this phone, First off I've flashed everything that's been released in the last month. No bricks.. WHY?? I want to fit in with everyone else (kidding) But seriously, what are some cool applications and/or flashable addons for this phone.. Currently running FB27 stock tar rooted with FB21 rogue kernel and cwm.
I like to use those sexy girls asian live wallpapers
I like the sexy screen cleaner girl... Just wish it wasnt so glitchy
Back from my "scotsman vacation"
Unfortunately I don't like Asians... But I do have something similar to those already!
Try flashing some of the themes in the themes section! They did a great job on some of them. Also maybe some of the mods for some of the roms

Tried flahing ICS4ICS, but it threw an error about "%s has violated..." and that was it, and it said I was in digital roaming mode
You could always flash a rom from an international SGS2 and that'll give you a pretty blue light =)
OYA? Link plz.
Was wondering how good are the leaked ICS Roms working... Bugs, FC, functions, apps, battery life??? And are they close to an offiical ICS release ???
I'm running Agat63's tFE16 with ACS repack. Only thing I miss is notification LED blinking for mms while charging. Not crying myself to sleep over it, though. I've actually found myself missing tinkering due to the stability of this setup.
Im on tfe16 without the acs repack and its great. The only fc issues I have are related to crappy apps not the rom. The lack of notification while charging as mentioned is present is all ics leaked roms and also the only thing that bugs me slightly
I'm still biased towards gingerbread but Venum ICE is awesome and has great battery. I barely flashed it yesterday but I'm mad I didn't flash it sooner

Introducing Terminus ROM, my first attempt at cooking a customized build. The story behind this ROM is basically that I got sick of doing the same bunch of things every time I flashed a ROM, so, I decided to put all my favorite things together in to a ROM and hopefully you all can enjoy it as much as I have. Our community has a bunch of great devs, and there is no sense in not taking full advantage of what they have to offer us.

About
Q - How do you say your nick?
A - You would say "Van-ber-gay". Or just "Van"
Q - What the heck is a Terminus ?
A - Terminus is latin, and means 'A boundary mark, border, end'. I thought that was a good name for a first ROM
Terminus ROM is
Focused on being lightweight, clean, fast
Based on stock rooted and deodexed FF18 (datajosh)
Agat's FF18 repacked kernel with Agat recovery
Full Implementation of Kobridge tweaks (Super fast version, includes build.prop tweaks)
Launchers of choice: LG Home launcher, GS3 Launcher, Stock Touchwiz
Massively debloated by Calk's bare ROM converter
Fast (Kobridge)
Good on battery (Kobridge)
Primarily stock themed, but I'm working on that.
Expanded toggles in the notification bar (slashepic and Team Venum)
Installation
TAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
Odin to EL26 stock repack with CWM found here
Flash Calk's Format All (not the modified, the format ALL) for E4GT found here
Flash Terminus Rom
I will try to hone my skills for incremental updates, but for now I can't say to do anything but a full wipe before installation.
Who makes this possible? My sincerest thanks to you all
Kobridge - for amazing tweaks
Agat - for his FF18 repack kernel
Calkulin - For his bare ROM converter and Format zip found here
Impact7 - For his port of the LG Home Launcher
Smando - For his port of the GS3 TwUX Launcher
Slashepic and Team Venum - For the amazing extended toggles for ICS
Datajosh - for the FF18 stock rooted deodexed build
Sextape - For the original leak
Chris41g - For his EL26 CWM repack that everyone uses to flash every ROM, and for some cooking advice
These devs are all amazing. Please consider a donation to them if you like their work
Roadmap
A solid theme
Including debloated apps on sdcard or data to allow them to be re-installed if desired
More intelligent installer script to allow modified wipes and keep user data
Remove boot/shutdown sounds, custom Boot animation
Taking suggestions
Changelog
6/21/12 - Initial release - Terminus Rom 0.1.0
FAQ
What apps were removed as part of de-bloating, and can I put some of them back?
Calkulin's thread lists all the apps removed. I am not including them currently, but may in the future put them on /sdcard/removedapps like Calk's script does by default. If you absolutely must have one of these apps back on your phone, you could pull it from datajosh's stock FF18 deodexed and push it back to /system/app, making sure permissions are rw-r--r--
What launchers are in this thing again?
Stock touchwiz, the stock ICS launcher, the TwUX GS3 launcher, and the LG launcher. You should be prompted to pick a launcher at your first boot. "Home" is the LG launcher. "Touchwiz Home" is the GS3 launcher. If you want to switch later, just go to settings -> apps -> all and find the launcher and clear defaults.
My battery isn't lasting very long?
If you're having any issues with battery life, first and foremost thing would be to try a different set of Kobridge tweaks. I have included the "Super Fast" version in this ROM. His aggressive and moderate versions will use less battery at the cost of some performance - it's just all about finding the right balance for you.
Nice! Goodluck with this :thumbup:

This is my first time using the LG launcher and I have to say I'm very impressed! Awesome ROM thanks!
Nice to see a new dev bringing other options to the table looking forward to giving this a go.
I have newborn twins and don't have time to flash and try out everything like I used to. I want to flash an ICS ROM and it appears BluKuban and MIJJz ICS GOODNESS are both excellent options.
Knowing they are probably both awesome, all I really want to know is if either one, both, or neither is capable of looking like stock ICS theme (like the screenshot).
Besides that, any additional comparative info between the two (pros/cons) would be nice to know as well. THX.
Congratulations, first and foremost.
The goodness rom can look more like stock than the blu kuban. Both have the rom updater feature in the settings.
Since they updated the goodness a few days ago, a lot of the mods are missing from the updater so give them some time or get the second newest version.
The Blu Kuban is almost completely blue and black. It's too dark for me personally so I moved to the goodness.
But they are both pretty stable.
Of those two options I prefer Goodness. With that being said I'm currently running the vanilla AOSP ICS rom from times infinity and I love it. If you want a plain rom that works well check that out.
Goodness has the most views and downloads for this phone for a reason, go check it out.

Goodness v16 had a "stock theme" that could be flashed over the Goodness default theme and was about as close to stock that you could get while still enjoying the benefits of the custom ROM. As someone mentioned, the large variety of customizations available in v 16 have not yet made it to 17, but I suspect they will soon. In the mean time, the default Goodness theme is not a huge departure from stock. Just use the Updater once its loaded to remove the Extended Toggles and restore the standard ones.

AGREED nd if the mod and such are in the updater you can always use v16 which is (PACKED to the gills) until the server move is finished ...then fi25 will be PACKED sooner than ya think ...personally myself I've ran a few themes from v16 and haven't encountered any problems thus far! Currently playing with it.
