Need some testers for ROM...

Screenshots and Initial Impressions
I was lucky enough to be selected to test this ROM. Thank you again, Calkulin, for allowing me to be one of your testers!
Here are my screens along with initial impressions:
Home Screen
You'll notice that this is a modified touchwiz launcher, the dock has been modified to fit 5 icons. 4/5 icons are customizable, the fifth icon (app) is NOT. I find this incredibly sexy as I love the touchwiz launcher and was always wondering if there was a way to fit the fifth icon into the dock; AFAIK, this was not possible on the stock TW Launcher. Notification icons are bright and colorful.
The main screen itself is a standard 4x4 grid.
For those of you who are not fans of TW Launcher, the ROM also has LauncherPro pre-installed.
App Drawer
The App Drawer got the same lovin' the dock did.. 5x5 for maximum real estate. The only reason why I would use a non-tw launcher was to get 5x5.
Notification Bar
Sleek, sexy, transparent. I'll let the screen speak for itself.
Performance
I know Quadrant scores don't mean much but a lot of people will probably be asking for them so here it is. I have the CPU clocked at the standard 1.2GHZ but am undervolted using these specs: 200/825 500/850 800/975 1000/1075 1200/1175 1400/1300 1600/1450. I haven't done anything to the GPU.
The ROM came with LoStKernel 1.0.0.8 installed. It's the kernel I was running on my old ROM and it has been very stable. (I installed it the day it was released).
This ROM seems blazing fast, apps open and close with ease and everything is buttery smooth. I have tested everything except for bluetooth but I can confirm that wifi, 3g, 4g are all working. GPS locks in seconds.
But wait.... there's one more thing
For those of you who have been asking for the HTC keyboard it has been ported over to this ROM. Word suggestions and custom dictionary are all there as well as customizable swipe gestures.
All in all a very good ROM - will probably contend with both ViperROM and Starburst as those are the two more popular ROMs out for this device right now. Will report back after 24 hours with more impressions (i.e., battery life, stability, bluetooth, etc)

Calk is definitely a well known chef. I have been using his rom since touch diamond win mo days.
Test driving the rom for several hours now.
Besides few minor details, all is well. Rom is very snappy and I expect nothing less from calkulin.

Sweetness! I knew it was just a matter of time! You can count on TeAm VeNuM and I Calk if you need anything... Just ask!!
Sweet ass. I used to use Caulkins WinMo roms, and on the EVO. Can't wait for the epic touch ones.
Yes he speaks the truth... I too was lucky enough to test another Caulkin creation and its as good as all his others.. I had little issue with the kernel at first but we took care of that... Thanks again Caulkin
I was one of the lucky ones and I can tell you people that this is a nice ROM. Still going through it but so far its a beauty

Great rom. Fast and really clean. Dont know if its my eyes deceiving me but things look much cleaner and less pixilated than stock. My wifi did disconnectand was scanning forever. This has happened in other roms and the only fix was resetting my router. Worked heres as well. Open pages in overview is on by default. Took me a while to figure that out. Unchecked is so much better for my eyes. Thats about it for now.

Super fast Super Smooth ROM
I have been running it for a few hours now, very very good battery life. Like the transparent notification pull down. Like the notification icons he has used. Bluetooth, wifi every thing connects fast. Used online radio and streaming is good. Also been getting stable 4g in my apartment that I have never got on any roms. I have been using his roms since ppc 6700 days. What I love is he has kept all the required apps and still the rom is very very fast and smooth. For instance if you go to Google Voice, lot of roms have other English Languages removed , this one has all the versions. 3g performance is great too. Browser pinch zoom and text auto fit is fast. Having used his roms in the past, I am excited that he is here...When he releases it to public, they are going to love it.
