The Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is in dire need of good ROMs, anyone can vouch for that, but there is still hope with MIUI out there. Earlier we had covered Froyo and Gingerbread based MIUI ROMs for the Galaxy S, but those have been rendered obsolete with the release of the MIUI 1.5.6 ROM. The release is one of the most stable we’ve come across so far and having run it on our Galaxy S, we found the experience quite pleasing. If you don’t know what MIUI is and are wondering what we’re going on about, you should see our guide on what is MIUI ROM for Android. For a preview of the features this ROM brings and how to install it on your Galaxy S, read on! Read More

Samsung Galaxy S I9000 is one of the most popular Android devices out there. We have previously covered rooting guides for the Galaxy based on Froyo Stock ROMs. Then a few weeks back when the unofficial Gingerbread was leaked, it obviously removed all previous root privileges you enjoyed, hence a root for the Galaxy running Gingerbread had to be developed. While we don’t mind the different methods or tools involved every time, we wouldn’t mind one universal solution. Thanks to XDA-Developers, forum member nikademus has come up with a kernel that now allows you to root any stock Galaxy S ROM, from Froyo based stock ROMs, to Gingerbread based ROMs. For more on this, and how to use it, read on!

You were skeptic, we were skeptic, but we all eventually hoped the day would come. It did in the form of a few unofficial leaks which were instable or half done the likes of which we previously covered a few weeks back based on Android 2.3.2. That picture has changed today, and we can confirm that the Gingerbread leak, is in fact the real deal, be it unofficial since it’s a leak over the internet before its time.

Install MIUI Custom Camera App On Samsung Galaxy S / Vibrant

Now when Samsung put in the wonderful 5Mp camera into the Vibrant, we think they got a little too carried away with the touch to focus functionality. More on that in a while, the interface is big and too bold taking up almost 3/4th of the screen when you’re trying configure any settings. While that may not bother some and appeal to some, we find it too cluttered. And whatever happened to swiping your fingers across the menu to scroll through the various options? The MIUI Camera app, tries to fix all that. Read on for more on this app. Read More
