Dancing with the Universe

Apparently, in the phone world, the Intercept is so ancient no one is interested in talking about it anymore. As someone who doesn't live on the bleeding edge, however, I still have one, and after a year of ownership I was tired of the bloat and assorted performance issues. I decided to root it and put a new kernel on.

For reference, I'm with Virgin Mobile. The settings menus may be a little different with Sprint, and you must use a different kernel to maintain the right carrier band. This guide should still give you enough to work with on Sprint, however.
