After you root thats what you'll have stock rom with root access,the only thing i see that might give you a problem is some apps need busybox,not that hard to install by hand but a lot easier if its done for you. I have a stock rom that has it built in and wifi tether is built in,but other then that its stock.If you want i can link you to it.

The HoneyBun version is stock with busybox and wifi tether installed.

It will be a little while before a fully functional froyo is out.It's amazing work they are doing.
