I like to flash new ROM's to my Samsung Vibrant Android phone. Sometimes it can be overwhelming trying to keep up with all of the ROM's/MOD's and hacks that are available.

The link above I find to be very useful. The author of the post does an excellent job of making sure that it is kept up to date.

With this post, there is now a single place to check to see what updates/new additions have been added to the MOD/ROM family for the Vibrant.

Head over and be sure to click on thanks if you find the thread to be useful.

[PROGRAM] AIO Vibrant Toolbox 2.5 *Beginners Start Here* Also for advanced users - xda-developers

I have been rooting and flashing my Vibrant since the day I got it my nerdy hands. I ran across this a while back and have found that it simplifies many things that need to be done.
You can use it to flash back to stock, apply custom ROMS and even sideload apps.
This is a great tool for both beginners and advanced individuals as well.
It is just an all around useful app. So drop in over at XDA and give it a whirl, if you find it useful go ahead and give the dev some gratitude and maybe even a donation.

Crontab Cheat Sheet

Crontab Cheat Sheet

Crontab cheat sheet in PDF format. This comes in very handy for those that find themselves needing to edit a cron job.
I find this very useful as editing cron isn't something that I do very often. This is a must have, even if you don't need it, it is very handy to have on hand just share with fellow techs.

Learn the DD command

Learn the DD command

This post is full of some incredibly useful information. I ran across this looking up a simple dd command to image a hard drive. This shows that dd has a multitude of uses, not only on Linux, but for Windows too.

Awesome idea. Lots of good apps in here that you can use on pretty much any Windows computer. All you need a USB key with some free space. Most of your favorite apps are on the list. I use this when ever I use a PC that isn't mine so I dont have to worry about installing software on other people's computers.

YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux

YUMI - Multiboot USB Creator (Windows) | USB Pen Drive Linux

This is a cool app that runs on Windows to allow you to build a bootable USB key that will boot to several ISO's. It has some built in options, and also has a great feature to let you add your own ISO.
This is very functional and extremely useful if you find yourself working on famiy PC's to do things like remove viruses.

Awesome app I found to automagically change the wallpaper on your Gnome/XFCE based Desktop.
It works quite nicely. I am impressed by the simple functionality and overall results.
Just like most other things linux, it just works.
If you are running Ubuntu/Xubuntu it can be found via the Software Center or by using Synaptic.

SPB Shell 3D


It's like having Compiz running on your phone!
This is an amazing launcher. I highly recommend you have one of the more powerful phones, but I haven't tested it to be sure. It runs great, looks amazing, and very functional. If you like eye candy, this is definitely the Home Launcher for you.
