    You need to set autodetect in setcpu instead of droid. Definitely these are things you should research before attempting them, in my opinion. If you read the third link in my signature it answers those questions for you.

    You need to give more information, like what ROM you are using, what you used to install it, etc.

    I'm not familiar enough with Sholes to know what they are overclocking to. If you can slide it to 600 perhaps you have a ROM that only goes to 600, because if you can get it past 550 you are getting it past the stock settings.

    Some ROMs are 2.1, some just have 2.1 features like the 5 screen launcher etc.

    Mathew, I am confused with "Launcher" is launcher just the home screen? because I chose to use Home++ when the screen popped up and I didnt know what Launcher was for

    Launcher is your home screen essentially.
