DMUpdater is in the market now and DroidMod v1.0.0 is out supposedly it is pretty much v.2.0.7 of Sholes. It has a new boot animation, live wallpapers built-in, and comes without a theme. It is apparently better to add a theme afterward with MetaMorph. May try it later
Also apparently includes some sort of "wipe data while keeping all apps" setting which sounds interesting ---------- Post added at 09:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ---------- Oops, I lied, its not in the market yet. Gotta get it here for now: http://downloads.droidmod.org/dmupdater-10.apk

Okkkkay
Srs question. I have not really noticed any benefit of running a ROM so far, having it rooted is cool though. I'm not overclocking it at all, and keep getting force close messages on random stuff. It never did that in factory mode. So question being, if I put it back to stock, rooted it, and then installed some kind of theme (like smoked glass), wouldn't it basically be the same as right now since I'm not overclocking it? If I do overclock it, how much do I need to do to be on the safe side?

Yeah if you aren't using the benefits of a flashed rom, you can go back to stock with root and then add a theme. Nothing wrong with that if you prefer the way stock behaves for you.
As for overclocking, I was running 800 for a long time, Eddie was running 1ghz and neither of us have had issues. People are even running 1.3 and shit which sounds crazy to me. But even those people don't report any damage to hardware. The only issues that I've seen with really high amounts are crashes and reboots but the hardware seems to be fine. Of course they haven't been at it for long, it may reduce life.

Honestly, what are the benefits of a ROM over stock? I can't find anything except being able to overclock.

Well essentially by rooting you can modify a stock install to do anything that a ROM has. Well for the most part. You can take a stock installation and add an overclock kernal, install a theme, enable wifi tethering, etc. The benefit of a ROM is that it all comes in one package. You don't have to manually enable/install/remove/tweak everything, the ROM builder does that for you.
For example, to enable tethering on a stock install requires a bunch of commands and modifying, this is already done in a ROM. Then to get multi-touch browser and the new gallery and whatnot, you'd have to download and install/modify stuff to make them work. Etc etc. Many ROMs also tweak system settings and the way that android handles memory or cpu speeds. Like some roms repackage all the stock apps (including Home) so that they run more efficiently. So all these little things are all packed into one quick flash. But lots of people choose to stay stock because they like it better

Ahhhh.
I mean its not bad, I actually like it and have gotten used to it. I just keep getting a FC on some apps. Think its just a bug or something? I don't plan on returning to stock just yet, I haven't had any major problems.

I know, that is a good thing. Home replacements and the 2.1 launcher have always caused shit for me. I was just making sure lol

I've had the Starfield or Alertz LW set the whole time since I've installed them and haven't had any issues. Plus, if you DO have issues, just restore the backup you make before installing and they'll be gone. Or leave them installed but use a normal wallpaper and they won't be running to kill batt
