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.
