I read about this from somebody else on here and so I took the plunge and bough it from the marketplace. It was pretty straight forward, it downloaded the sholes.info roms and once downloaded it rooted and gave me a list of things it could install and the option to check or uncheck them. I left everything checked and let it do it's business, took roughly 4-5mins and when it was done it was rooted. Pretty simple.

I also read about people overclocking their Droid's so of course I had to try, went to the marketplace yet again and downloaded SetCPU. At first it would only overclock the Droid to 600Mhz. Couldn't figure out why until SholesMod Updater let me know there was a new Rom. After downloading and flashing the rom this update let me use SetCPU to overclock all the way to 1Ghz. So since I had seen the that 800Mhz was the best I overclocked to that and was done and completely happy. The Droid was fast, there was a lot of new features added from the rom. This lasted for 1 day...

UNTIL last night when SetCPU updated their application in the market place. I updated it of course and once I did all hell broke lose, the Droid kept restarting continuously and I couldn't figure out how to make it stop.
I took out the battery and let it sit for a little while, put the battery back in and it was fine for about 3mins and then it started restarting again. So after taking the battery out and restarting it I quickly got to the Marketplace and removed SetCPU and all was fine. So I'm not sure what they updated but it pissed my Droid off. Anybody else have this problem? I emailed the developer to tell them about the problem so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Sorry for the long post, I wanted to give a walk through to anybody who was unsure on this process.
