Yeah, but that nukes your ROM and requires a reflash. This only vapes the kernel-related stuff in /etc/init.d

the only "unknown" to me is what it does when it runs "cleaningmodules"

Absolutely nothing - the cleaningmodules script isn't included in the Samsung version as it's only required by CM7-based ROMs apparently.

Btw, keep an eye on the changelog for v3.0 if/when it appears... I saw a request for the script to remove CWMManager.apk in the support thread. That might be okay for CM7/ROM Manager users but would wreak havoc for the rest of us!
