I take now credit for this. Just trying to help share info. Do this at your own risk.

YOU MUST HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY APPLIED FIRST> SEE HERE:

Hola,
Here's my first build on the Froyo source.
Looks like Samsung cleaned up the kernel a bit - sound is just fine on my VMU phone.

Features working:
-Root (bypasses epic exploit / one-click-root, no need to revert)
-Wifi & tether
-init.d scripts through /system/etc/setinit.sh (standard method)
-Busybox with swap support (tested with jiml8's enableswap zip)

In Progress:
-Overclock: working towards an alternate method to Kuro's - I'm not convinced true overclock was achieved.
-VM-specific issues
-Adding ext2 support back in for /s /d /c


To install, place the zip in /sdcard/sdx/zip/ and apply through inxane's custom recovery.

For questions or issues please post in the original discussion thread by the developer at: SlapKernel 1.0 for FROYO 2.2 [root / init.d scripts] - test please
 
Sorry for the newb question but - How do I install this? Ive hacked away at WinMo phones in the past but this VM Intercept is my first Android. Im understanding the phone needs to be "rooted" - does this package do that for me too in a "one-click" scenario?
Sorry for the questions but I dont want to brick my 2 week old phone as it absolutely blows my old series of WinMo phones away :)

thanks!
 
BTW You're good at pulling important info from different places and making sense of it. An all in one thread would be great and should be sticky'd!

Unfortunately, I can't sticky specific threads but I can put a link to it in the guide sticky. If you see something you think belongs in the guide sticky, please pm me about it. This thread is now in there.
