Last night we received a very nice email tip letting us know that a couple of developers, Onecosmic and ytt3r, have created an Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP ROM for various Galaxy S devices. This included the GT-I9000, GT-I9000B, Vibrant (SGH-T959), Telus Fascinate, Rogers Captivate and AT&T Captivate....

When it comes to adding movies to our Android devices, one of the trickier aspects is getting the right format and settings figured out. Some times you might succeed other times you might fail. I have personally used many video converter applications that are good at what they do, but I often forget...

I have never been big on cases nor extended batteries. When it comes to my ultra thin Vibrant, I don’t want anything to bulk it up. There is a place for cases and for extended batteries though. often times you need to buy them separately. Not with the Elektra series cases from Trident. You get...

If you happen to be one of the lucky owners of a Samsung Vibrant on either Bell or Virgin in Canada, you will be happy to know that you have an update waiting to be installed via Samsung Kies. The update will move you up to the much anticipated Gingerbread update. Don’t go and get to excited my...

Judging by the number of downloads that are currently showing up on the CM7 builds, I know there are plenty of you out there. I thought you might like to know a few more settings that I ran across by accident. Some of these may be new to the latest builds, or they could be old. Some of you may already...

Lock screens fall right up there with home launchers as far as easy to use, and much needed. There is something to be said about grabbing a friends phone and seeing a lock screen you know you don’t have and you wonder why. One of the more recent lock screens that everyone is eager to get their...

The tablet market is increasing at a very fast pace. Many are still skeptical if they will catch on completely or be another novelty item for consumers. Personally, I think they are great. I would much rather play games, surf the web and watch movies on a tablet than on my phone. Sadly not owning a high...

Hacks, cracks, themes and mods is what Android is all about. The system is there, the device has the ability, it is up to us to use it and make it better. With the help of Alastrionia’s guide for this mod on the DroidForums, maddoggin from XDA, has made his own versions of this for the Samsung...

One of the hardest and sometimes scariest things to do to your device is flash a new kernel. You can end up causing all sorts of problems to your phone if you pick you the wrong one. When CM7 started rolling out to the Vibrant a lot of our favorite kernels were not supported and many still have not been...

No this is not themed out to be Ice Cream Sandwich. This is just a fun theme that was recently posted in XDA for the Galaxy S I9000. It should work on the Vibrant and Captivate as well, but the dev has not tested them yet. A lot of time and effort went into certain framework edits that give this the...

Now a days themes are pretty standard on any Android device. With custom home launchers like ADW and LauncherPRO giving every device a chance to look unique, some people wonder why they should root. Beyond custom ROM’s that are a million times better then what is offered to a stock user, we have...

Wallpapers are a dime a dozen any more, well more like free every where you look. None the less, there are many that are better than others. We all have the need to make our devices as custom as possible. I know I have personally used many Android wallpapers and quite a few ‘Galaxy S’ or...

I don’t think many people can really argue that CM7, or any CM build really, doesn’t give you a lot of control of your device. With the team adding support for new devices all the time, coupled with the shear numbers of new users that are added daily, it’s nearly impossible to teach...

When dual boot was enabled for the HD2, allowing you to boot windows or Android, I nearly lost my mind. Not that I cared to boot into windows all that often but when I needed to it was available. Long before that I was a ROM flashing fiend on my G1, MyTouch and now my Vibrant. It comes with the territory...

Developers, hackers and modders are abundant in the Android community. We have seen front facing camera mods for the Vibrant, crazy soldering jobs for Logitech Revue and insane mounts for telescopic lenses for our cameras. With the help of Popular Mechanics, WIRED and various other partners, RadioShack...
