I was on my BB for a while, and am now back to a Droid-- I used a ROM that was called Sholes rom (about 2-3 months ago), and it had all the 2.1 stuff (more screens, Milestone browser, full multitouch, etc), plus an overclocking thing.

It even rooted for me! Is there a similar all-in-one type of ROM which will root for you and give you these features?

I can't find the Sholes rom anymore... :-(

ROM Manager

Personally, I'd suggest downloading Koush's ROM Manager from the Market. As long as you're rooted, it will flash the ClockworkMod Recovery for you and let you install a number or ROMs without much effort. It also lets you do OTA updates for all of the ones that are supported. As of now, you can get Koush's CyanogenMod, BlackDroids UltimateDroid and Pete's Bugless Beast, all of which include multitouch and overclocking (provided you d/l SetCPU from the market, which is required to overclock regardless of the ROM). IMO, those are the 3 best ROMs out there right now with BB being just that, bugless but not very flashy. Koush's has just about everything you could want, but had given me some problems at first (they seem to be fixed however, and I am currently using it with no problems.) Ultimate Droid has pretty much everything Koush's does, but seems just a tad more buggy for me.

ROM Manager can also flash back to SPRecovery for you, as well as return you to stock. I'd d/l the free version, then get the premium donate version, its well worth it! Hope this helps!

Ultimate Droid has something pretty similar, with some UD themed stuff included. Bugless comes with a mostly stock theme but Pete normally has a smoked glass patcher update.zip you can install easily. Koush's comes stock as far as the notification bar and such, but you can get themes for it. Also, in ROM manager, there is a group of roms under something like hazmatic that has koush's 5.0.5.3 with a pretty awesome theme. I believe its listed as xrom on ROM manager. 5.0.5.4 is the latest version but that theme only comes packaged with the prior version thus far. Havent noticed much of a difference so I'm using the themed one. GREAT rom IMO. Hope it works out for ya!
