Great ROM from Sholes.info 2.0.1 v1.1

I'm surprised that no one else has posted this here yet, but just in case you weren't aware, there's a great ROM from the www.sholes.info site that came out yesterday. It includes:

-Wifi tethering
-2.1 Gallery, Music, Clock, Launcher
-Speed optimizations
-Multi-touch browser from the Motorola Milestone
-Other cool stuff

If you've tried previous versions of this ROM you'll notice that they've fixed the screen brightness issue on this version. I haven't been able to find any bugs with this ROM so far (except with the 2.1 Launcher, but I don't use it anymore since they added 5 screens to the standard home page).

I know 2.1 is going to be coming out pretty soon, but in the meantime I would strongly recommend you give this ROM a try. Check it out here:

Re: Great ROM from Sholes.info 2.0.1 v1.1

Thanks for the tip NH! I am really enjoying this rom. Maybe it's my imagination but my droid seems quicker overall now. Thew new launcher is iffy (nice look but functionality it's a bit unstable--locks up from time to time) so I stick with the basic Home screen app and all is well. The browser is good too but my favorite thing is the weather/news widget. It just plain rocks!

No problem. I was beginning to think that no one on here cares about custom ROMs!

I think they care more about WM ROMS than those for Android.

Also. like NerdHerd said, with 2.1 on the horizon, some (like me) are kind of in a moritorium on ROMs until we see what is in the "official" ROM.
