Default [Q] ROM Advice, please

Just upgraded my HTC EVO today (amazing deal at Sam's Club), already rooted it and am now looking for any ROM selection advice. Calkulin's seems pretty popular but all I really want is the IMO really ugly four main icons replaced (the phone, contacts, messaging, applications, icons), and to have tethering with 4g working. Calkulin's thumbnails seem to have the same stock icons, but maybe there are skins I'm not seeing? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

Calkulin and UnNamed roms are both really good and stable roms. I've used both of them on a daily basis. You can theme many of these roms just check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1285 . This thread will have a lot of themes that you can choose from. Good luck and have fun

Senzation or cakulin ROM + go laugher. You will have both the 4g tether and icon s to choose from. Go launcher gives you so much options for icons.
