Motorola Milestone (Droid) Froyo, some little works to do
It's time to put something new on this old Motorola Milestone (Droid in the Usa).
So, what do?
First point, a new launcher, the Froyo's launcher is *blearhg*.
For me the best is Go Launcher Ex for some reasons:
- better app drawer
- creation of directories in the app drawer and in the desktops
- gestures (if you want)
- possibility to hide dock bar and status bar (notify bar)
- multiple desktops (like original android home launcher)
- multiple docks
- widgets scaling
- choosing the grid dimension on the desktops
- choosing how icons appear on the desktop (black label, alpha label, no label etc...)
- tons of other stuff
This launcher works great in this phone (that has low ram)
A post about this (free) launcher>

Second point, rooting phone.
With the "root" you can use your phone as a super user, with this utility you can choose to grant SU permission to an App (Titanium Backup, etc...).
This link is very clearly:

Third point (I'm in this point), trying the overclocking.
Poor battery! But, it's only for testing purpose.
This link is very helpful:

(There are many overclock utilities in the market)
PS: Use at your own risk, I do not take responsibility for your actions!
Next steps? A custom rom I suppose...
...and a list of the MUST HAVE apps...
