AOKP is awesome, plain and simple (except the camera, but other camera apps can change this)
there is a flashable zip around here thatll allow you to sync your FB contacts and photos, and when you transfer your FB contact birthdays and events to Google Calendar...who needs Sense calendar?

Ill try to find the tuts real quick on how to do each one
*edit*
