Found this volume mod over at xda-developers posted by bchalk. By default the Samsung Vibrant’s software is set at 88. That leaves a little more room for volume if you so desire. Follow the instructions below if 88 just isn’t quite loud enough for you. WARNING: 100 IS VERY LOUD! Dialer:...

With so much work in progress trying to port Android onto x86 devices, it looks like its starting to pay off.  Some developers have successfully ported Anroid 2.2 (Froyo) to the Viliv S5 Tablet.  The $600 device, which normally runs Windows XP, is seen running Froyo in the video below: According...

Be it an international version or a stateside version, I haven’t talked to a single person that doesn’t love their Galaxy S device.  With development for Android devices forging ahead, and new devices coming out so rapidly it is always exciting when a new achievement is reached. XDA member...

XDA member scuccia has created a small file apk that you can install to your DROID Incredible that will keep the video in mp4 format. As it sits currently, your device will take the video in mp4 but then converts and saves it in a 3gp format. This format can limit your playability across multiple platforms,...

Itching for an upgrade from my aging G1, I happily picked up the T-Mobile Vibrant (a Samsung Galaxy S variant) within days of its release. After having it for two weeks, I can honestly say that this is one great phone. With its beautiful SuperAMOLED screen , a 1GHZ Hummingbird CPU, and one of the fastest...

For those of you who may not have heard about the new CyanogenMOD boot animation, you must be living under a rock.  A community member called 73v1n on youtube has put together a new boot animation that has to be one of the nicest we’ve seen to date. This amazing piece of work looks simply amazing...

One of my favorite features of Android and its core apps is Google Maps Navigation. Having the power of Google Search directly connected to navigation within one button press, what else do I need to say? My issue came when I upgraded to the new Samsung Vibrant, only to discover that the GPS never seemed...

I have got to hand it to the guys over at xda-developers. As soon as something new drops, someone somewhere is rooting it for us. Where would we be with out these guys? XDA -Dev Senior member netarchy has already gained root on the 2.2 Froyo update that just came out yesterday. Here is all the relevant...

Can this be for real?  TheDude has been posting photos on Twitter of his shenanigans with the Augen GenTouch 78 7″ Android Tablet from KMart. Judging by the photos, he’s actually booting CM6 on this $150 device. Can TeamDouche be stopped?  Is CM6 going to be installed on every Android device...

Have no fear, the answers are here. One of AndroidSPIN’s contributors, Jason Bowdach, shared a chart with the team today regarding a very nicely done breakdown of what the CM6 UI Tweaks actually do. Being a faithful Cyanogen follower since I rooted my G1, I know that all his tweaks can be a little...

With the Samsung Galaxy S series of phones launching across the US, with its controversial Touch Wiz UI, it doesn’t surprise me that it has been made available for others. Developer rolle3k over at XDA-Developers has managed to create the Touch Wiz UI in a simple APK file. You heard that right. It’s...

Thanks to @kmobs for keeping us up to date and telling us about another new feature he’s been working on for CyanogenMOD 6 called br0tips. He’s added a new option to the CyanogenMOD Settings that allows modification to the Android Tips widget on the home screen. Here’s a quick video...

Seems now days, that there isn’t anything those devs can’t do with the Nexus One. One of the Devs over at the xda-developers site has posted his update to get 720p going on your Nexus. In order to get this to work you will need to have the Froyo Radio. Also it is for Cyanogen CM5.0.8test3....

The ADW Launcher from @anderweb might be new app on the Android market (currently v.7.5 standalone), but I can honestly say it has quickly gain my pick for favorite launcher replacement, being to its highly-varied feature set, good performance on a 1st-gen Android device (in this case, a G1\Dream), and...
