Rooting and Installing a custom ROM on a virgin Samsung Moment

Sprint dropped support for my phone (the Samsung Moment) after a single update, taking my phone from Android 1.5 (which it shipped with), to Android 2.1. Which was really unfortunate because Android 2.2 introduced some huge improvements in the Operating System which resulted in significant performance and battery life improvements. Since Sprint won't help me at this point, I have to DIY and root my phone to upgrade to Android 2.2.

Our weekend project Scavengeroo.com launches

Scavengeroo.com screen captureEffie & I just launched our new QR Code Scavenger Hunt game, Scavengeroo this past weekend.

To build it, we spent 2 long weekends (Friday night, all day Saturday & Sunday, with meal breaks) and a few scattered evenings over the past month or so. I'll outline our basic development process and technological considerations (i.e. what plugins/gems I used).
