    are you looking for something specific out of a rom, personally i use the bugless, because it looks nice, everything works well,
    sholes is well not the best, its a good concept, and has alot of development done, but its not as stable as bugless
    and i have tried glass, because personally i dont think of it as an actual rom compaired to the other 2 mentioned,

    BB, Sholes, and Smoked Glass ROM all look the same. Except for if you choose to not theme Sholes with the smoked glass theme...but if you do, they all have the smoked glass theme. BB has a nice looking lock screen that I like very much

    I would say BB is also the most stable, and reliable....then Sholes and then the Smoked Glass...

    Hope this helps!

    Yea I tried 2.0.3 of Sholes last night(was first time I rooted), and using the updater on their site, I pretty much sat back and watched my phone root itself. However I had problems with it FC random apps. So I un-rooted.

    Do all 3 pretty much contain the same features?

    I notice some say 800mhz OC, 950mhz OC, etc... What do these mean? Is it the default prosscessor speed when installing each ROM? As in if I don't install SetCpu, it will automatically run at 800, 950 etc... Depending on the ROM?

    Yes they all have basically the same enhancement features....

    And yeah those numbers refer to what the CPU is overclocked to on that particular ROM....SetCPU will allow you to set profiles for the speed at different levels with maximum and minimum settings....

    For example you can set your phone to underclock itself really low while it's asleep (screen is off) to increase battery life....pretty cool actually cause I get better battery life with my Droid overclocked to 1100MHz then I did at default because I have the profile settings set accordingly...

    I see. So its the defaulted clock speed for each ROM?

    Also say I install BB, as you guys suggested and I want to go back to stock. Can I do this:

    Use SMUpdater, choose "Stock 2.0.1 (no root)"

    Or does that only work on Sholes ROMS and going back to stock? Its what I used last night to go back to stock.

    Also if I can do that, do I have to remove BB first then use SMUpdater or will automatically remove the BB ROM AND Unroot me?

    Yes they are the defaulted clock speed for that ROM,

    And yes you should be able to use SMUpdater to return to stock directly from BB without changing anything....

    Hope all this helps!! I gotta get to class now but if you need help you can PM me anytime and I'll try to get to it later and see if I can help you out...

    Have a nice day!

    They all work, they all are stable.

    I think the only real world difference is they all appear to have different names.
