You should read the FAQ in post #3. But ya that package would be what Mackie was thinking, it would be outdated, not that it should stop your SMS from working it just wouldn't have the touchscreen fixes etc. I personally won't throw a package together, due to I think you guys should learn to put it together. MrPippy laid out the instructions pretty clear I feel. And it really is easier than you think heh. But either download Mackie's that he was kind enough to put together or just grab the zip in Post #1 like you already did, and then follow the link from his instructions and delete the zImage and modules file from your storage card and put the new one in place.

Download the latest kernel package from glemsom's kernel autobuild site. Untar the file (it's like unzipping -- 7-zip in windows can do this), rename zImage.xxxxxxxxx to zImage, and replace all zImage and modules* files in the root of your sdcard with these.

Current Kernel Builds
If you want the most current kernel build, grab it from this link. Download the package and rename the zImage-xzy to just zImage and overwrite the one on your storage card. Also delete the modules-xyz.tar.gz from your storage card and copy the new one as is to the card. Do not extract the tar.gz Note: Not always will the current kernel be stable. Something that gets committed for one piece might break another. If you start to experience issues, just download an older Package and replace.
