[HTC One S] Rapier:
I tested it today and I restored LS backup in the end :)

The ROM looks nice, has tons of options some of which are not present in LS but are somewhat minor things like : breathing SMS/call icon, the weather panel in notification, dynamic system bar and many others I can't remember. Though, there are a couple of things that made me go back to LS. I'll try to summarize them below but bear in mind that not everyone may encounter same issues or be affected :

- First the installation. It crashed the first time, I had to reboot and the initial wizard finished finally. After install, the apps I had before were not automatically restored as they are usually after a clean install.

- As I said there are many option in the ROM, maybe too many. The problem is that they are spread in different places, not aggregated and difficult to find what you need at some point. For ex, the settings for the status bar are spread in about 3 different places

- The Viper4Android is not included... Yes, I could install it separately but still it is not included by default

- Heads-up functionality is worse (in my opinion) as set by default. That is, heads up is activated for all apps and you should manually disable it for the apps you don't want it. It's easier to setup it properly in LS for ex.

- Peek was hard to find and offers only 2 basic settings

- Performance : well, here is probably subjective and device dependant so I can state only my opinion under my specific configuration.. I've used the latest Bubba (zombie edition) but the ROM lags some times, especially when opening apps or when navigating through various setting menus. Also the global impression is not that of LS's "smooth&liquid" ROM. Scroll animations lags also a bit, there were some delays in opening certain screens. I guess LS"s Linaro optimization has it's strong points here.

- QS tile reordering and setup took me some time to get used with it, it's not "standard" as in other ROMs. Also you can set to have the standard tiles or have them as a bar (as it was the old CM power toggles) but not both.

- When I first applied a theme, phone reboot. It's maybe not a big deal but this says to me that Theme Engine might not be properly integrated or not all related commits are included so I could have further issues theme engine related. Of course it could be nothing but, on the other hand I had no such problems on LS or CandyKat or other ROMs I've tried recently.

-ROM size is 200 MB... Not really an issue and considering the various customizations it is somehow understandable but still there are other ROMs having almost the same options but have a smaller footprint.

My final thoughts about this ROM are that is a good ROM overall, has some minor drawbacks but looks very unpolished. Like someone just grabbed everything from almost any major ROM and throwed them in. And still cannot beat LS in terms of UI fluidity or performance (Quadrant scores were with about 1000 lower)

I don't want to say anything bad about it, I recommend to anyone first to try it and see how it works. It is definitely a ROM to try just I found it personally not so good for me as CandyKat or LS which remain my favorites
