Installation instructions: 
Before doing all of this I would recommend that you flash to a clean stock rom and kernel to stay away from all the bootloop hassle. 
  
Part 1: Installing the kernel: 
<ol>
<li>Download Odin - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?v19s0sdjjf86vvd">Click here to download.</a></li>
<li>Extract the rar file using WinRAR, 7zip or any other archive program</li>
<li>Run the Odin program</li>
<li>In PDA field find and choose white.1.0.1.tar - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?foac75clbf93vlm">Click here to download white.1.0.1.tar</a></li>
<li>Start your Galaxy Y into Downloading mode (hold Power button + Volume down + Home button) and connect it to your computer, you should see a yellow colored box indicating that your phone is connected to an USB port.</li>
<li>Leave all of the options as they are and just click on Start.</li>
<li>Wait for it to be done, your phone should reboot and you should have white's kernel.</li>
<li>Alternatively, you can just flash the kernel using recovery mode - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?xf7s0h7wpitc1mb">Click here to download flashable zip</a> </li>
</ol>
Part 2: Installing CyanogenMod7: 
<ol>
<li>Boot your SGY into Recovery mode (hold Power button + Volume up + Home button)</li>
<li>You should be in ClockworkMod Recovery.</li>
<li>Go to mount and storage </li>
<li>Choose Format system </li>
<li>Choose Mount system (if you do not see this option, system is already mounted and you don't have to mount) </li>
<li>Go back, choose wipe data</li>
<li>Choose Install zip from sdcard</li>
<li>Find cm-7-20130107-madteam-whitexp-RC2-totoro.zip (CM7) which you just downloaded from here and choose it</li>
<li>Then choose Yes</li>
<li>Wait for it to install it, press the back button and reboot.</li>
<li>Enjoy the latest stable CM7.</li>
</ol>
If you are having any problems with the flashing, or want to post some feedback on how it works for the rest of the viewers, feel free to leave a comment.

DISQUS is here!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images.khmerbird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/disqus2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://images.khmerbird.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/disqus2.jpg" /></a></div>
Great news! DISQUS comment system has been implemented to the blog. 
The old one was getting kind of... old. You can now rate comments up/down, you can still reply to them etc. 
 
I am now going to show a quick setup guide for newbies. 
 
So to begin, view a post, then scroll down where the comment field is and you should see this: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkIwrTo8QgoAsGeRORq07WQWaKf-4fcR2yl1yv-H8ngU1n9-VBeBKhbXoyN34IiAAaapV6npAPgvUcN2GoW_dlwnb_UXOXC3ZvFgAkNJBoGl3uLqt2YWBLZhZRUpOwyD-J5ysVFY9gj1gN/s1600/1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="123" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkIwrTo8QgoAsGeRORq07WQWaKf-4fcR2yl1yv-H8ngU1n9-VBeBKhbXoyN34IiAAaapV6npAPgvUcN2GoW_dlwnb_UXOXC3ZvFgAkNJBoGl3uLqt2YWBLZhZRUpOwyD-J5ysVFY9gj1gN/s320/1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
So a good idea would be to connect your Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or DISQUS profile with it, so that you can be aware of notifications. 
 
Choose which one you would like to connect and it would ask for permission: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0gLYD7mirhhw1I_MB26-GG8yHL96ac01yqREZWW_xyw70ofiVnyDs7GABuU7mpcjA0MRWc-k5FkDwoxnUXXEwpleMP2CVja4C4AmKa9wDz4PAPHzGmi-ZeE986Hl6wUhp6Mdn6Tjro-O5/s1600/2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0gLYD7mirhhw1I_MB26-GG8yHL96ac01yqREZWW_xyw70ofiVnyDs7GABuU7mpcjA0MRWc-k5FkDwoxnUXXEwpleMP2CVja4C4AmKa9wDz4PAPHzGmi-ZeE986Hl6wUhp6Mdn6Tjro-O5/s320/2.png" width="320" /></a></div>
And so after you do that and comment on a post for example asking a question, and I or anyone else replies to you: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxSj9Dt6kZNvalTx7ynmHiIjtOcALUnkV0AOP2_YelLrC5UY7xWwT1kcqoL8Efm-C8ymG5em4LtQQnTvk0s4yUvmHlIBUAdUMIPDgB9MMQP7w7aGpq3ZLcLMb85qIzbgKsZVo85mtgffKQ/s1600/3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxSj9Dt6kZNvalTx7ynmHiIjtOcALUnkV0AOP2_YelLrC5UY7xWwT1kcqoL8Efm-C8ymG5em4LtQQnTvk0s4yUvmHlIBUAdUMIPDgB9MMQP7w7aGpq3ZLcLMb85qIzbgKsZVo85mtgffKQ/s320/3.png" width="320" /></a></div>
The next time you load a post and see the comment field, there should be a notification:

Clearing your Galaxy Young's cache in seconds to free up internal memory

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TXqk8m1oc-41x8JWqiN8a96Eczwgfvrv_9VdFRQHviHZmmfn7TYHL6U3NDlAU36FCAywPjdUD4aUMozGtQGU_RSF6f-D3JRPVUTK_3U3ueBlH1AZbwiCdKQXVjyJ08mj7KUId7ZI6L4/s256/1Tap%2520Cleaner%2520Pro-ProHP.net.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TXqk8m1oc-41x8JWqiN8a96Eczwgfvrv_9VdFRQHviHZmmfn7TYHL6U3NDlAU36FCAywPjdUD4aUMozGtQGU_RSF6f-D3JRPVUTK_3U3ueBlH1AZbwiCdKQXVjyJ08mj7KUId7ZI6L4/s256/1Tap%2520Cleaner%2520Pro-ProHP.net.png" /></a></div>
Probably all of you know that while using certain apps on your Galaxy Y for some time, they create temporary files which are stored on your internal memory and can get in the way when installing new apps. This happen to any Android phone by the way. 
 
In this guide I will present you a really simple and user-friendly cache cleaning app called <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.acc.free">1Tap Cleaner.</a> 
 
You can download it for free in the Google Play store. There is also a PRO version which you can check out if you will enjoy using the free one. 
 
Now ofcourse you can clean cache manually by yourself, but you would need to go to each app and press the "Clear cache" while this app gets the job done in seconds. 
 
When you first start up 1Tap Cleaner, you should see 4 options for clearing the cache. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoFqSNS3LytbCabLxh4KbfH-3eXs7I86hfckKtdMUZWUWHgtO7bsowD3GTcEwo4MmeU84tT5Gjgzv95jOZbXdX9vOJlNGhmY3SSs7pCWpSyEg7zXZBOxxQTOtquWzmNGrqtLz_wQUltVVC/s1600/SC20130117-130113.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoFqSNS3LytbCabLxh4KbfH-3eXs7I86hfckKtdMUZWUWHgtO7bsowD3GTcEwo4MmeU84tT5Gjgzv95jOZbXdX9vOJlNGhmY3SSs7pCWpSyEg7zXZBOxxQTOtquWzmNGrqtLz_wQUltVVC/s1600/SC20130117-130113.png" /></a></div>
<ol>
<li>Cache Cleaner - This option clears all of your apps cache at once by just tapping on an "OK" button.</li>
<li>History Cleaner - This option clears all of your history such as the entered texts on your browser apps, Play Store, YouTube app, etc. (I wouldn't really recommend doing this if you need to keep your history as this frees up a very small amount of memory).</li>
<li>Call/Text Cleaner - This clears all of your call history and messages.</li>
<li>Default Cleaner - This option clears anything you have set by default such as for example a homescreen replacement app (Launcher). Let's say I have set Holo Launcher to appear by default when I press the Home button  on my phone and it would take me to Holo Launcher instead of my old launcher. This option will clear the set to default option and restore your old launcher or whatever you have set to default.</li>
</ol>
In this guide we will be mainly focusing on clearing the cache of the apps at once (first option). 
 
When you choose the first option, a window should pop up telling you how much memory your current cache collected takes: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Ul1gOtyikUByrCgXbRtO-j2LWSxE2hXdodS4INdCkISSknV6Xl_WH9J23qkfFzJSdYheJfexKvFk8UkRWN4xLb0wIqxXwGnMq3VUdai__j8-4Kbf5w6IBiyBOO_HrLi_i5cQeY9BPt2u/s1600/SC20130117-130757.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Ul1gOtyikUByrCgXbRtO-j2LWSxE2hXdodS4INdCkISSknV6Xl_WH9J23qkfFzJSdYheJfexKvFk8UkRWN4xLb0wIqxXwGnMq3VUdai__j8-4Kbf5w6IBiyBOO_HrLi_i5cQeY9BPt2u/s1600/SC20130117-130757.png" /></a></div>
 
So just choose OK and it will clear the cache for you. Clearing the cache does not delete your apps data or games' savegames. They remain completely safe. 
 
Another nice feature is the Auto clear interval. 
When you go to Settings, you should see it there (first option). 
 
You can choose an interval starting from 1 hour to 2 weeks: 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmvd0JLeP72BPxzgGyHYs5nv8pAIGFV30G8enyqHLW6MqtHWzvqcPMGVShT0eTge4_ESbNMePmdsatQhD0eAGVqsCJD9UUACsuvJj6vXw4DJp0YS3Y0dGS1NHQj319TY_RAxZ3yP6hqo6l/s1600/SC20130117-131003.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmvd0JLeP72BPxzgGyHYs5nv8pAIGFV30G8enyqHLW6MqtHWzvqcPMGVShT0eTge4_ESbNMePmdsatQhD0eAGVqsCJD9UUACsuvJj6vXw4DJp0YS3Y0dGS1NHQj319TY_RAxZ3yP6hqo6l/s1600/SC20130117-131003.png" /></a></div>
And that is how you clear your app cache in just a few seconds.

Update Your Samsung Galaxy Y To a New Look With Go Launcher EX

The Samsung Galaxy Y is still running on Android Gingerbread. But you can get the Jelly Bean style experience and a complete makeover for your phone with GO Launcher EX. 
A launcher is the interface that you see when you are using your phone and it includes everything visual when you navigate through the Galaxy Y: the Home screen, all submenus, the app drawer, and all the transition effects. All manufacturers, except Google with their Nexus series, use their own customized version of the Android launcher, mainly to differentiate themselves from competing companies. Samsung calls its version of the Android launcher TouchWiz. What most users don’t know is that Samsung’s launcher can be replaced by a different one. 
 
There are a number of great launchers available in the Google Play store and each has its advantage. GO Launcher EX is by far the most creative launcher among them all with more than 50 million downloads so far! There is a plethora of themes available that you can use to style your Galaxy Y in ways you haven’t imagined possible, ranging from themes for the main launcher down to themes for the smallest detail such as icons and widgets. It also comes with a number of optional widgets such as a weather widget, a calendar widget, a task manager, a clock widget, and several more. The team behind GO Launcher has made its launcher open to designers who can submit themes to the company to make them available to users. Many of these themes are free while some others must be purchased. Let’s walk you through the steps to give your Samsung Galaxy Y a refreshing look:  
 
<h2>

Step 1: Set Up Go Launcher EX:</h2>
Install GO Launcher EX for free from the Google Play store. Upon opening the app, swipe through the initial screens until you see the “Top 10 GO Launcher Themes” screen and tap the More Themes button. This lets you dive right into the themes store, where you can try several themes until you’ve found your favorite one. You can also skip this step and use the standard theme, which resembles a typical Android Jelly Bean look.  
 
<img alt="GO Launcher EX Cyanogen Mod Theme" class="aligncenter" height="495" src="http://i.imgur.com/AATKK.png" width="600" />
 
 
<h2>
Step 2: Select a Theme:</h2>
Try as many themes as you like from the theme store. You can also use the Google Play store to search for more themes. I’ll be using one of the most popular themes for this launcher: Cyanogen GO Launcher EX theme. It resembles the look and feel of the most widely used aftermarket custom ROMs on the market: Cyanogen Mod. Once you’ve found your favorite theme, download and install it. The launcher will automatically switch to your selected theme. 


 

<img alt="GO Launcher EX Cyanogen Mod Theme" class="aligncenter" height="495" src="http://i.imgur.com/UdLyE.png" width="600" />
 
<h2>
 </h2>
<h2>
Step 3: Select Widgets:</h2>
GO Launcher EX places many of its available widgets as a shortcut on the Home screens. When you tap on a shortcut, you’ll be taken straight to the download page in the Google Play store, where you can download and install the widget on your phone. The shortcut will then be replaced by the widget. GO Weather EX is the most downloaded widget for this launcher.  Let’s install it and apply a separate theme to it. I enjoy the HTC style theme a lot.

Tap on the widget > Settings icon > Theme settings, and select a theme to download. To apply the theme, repeat this path and look for the “Installed” section.
 


 

<img alt="GO Weather EX HTC theme" class="aligncenter" height="1002" src="http://i.imgur.com/uBFvH.jpg" width="600" />  
GO Launcher EX can be highly customized to your needs and there are just too many details to showcase. Tap on the Menu key and familiarize yourself with its features. Home screens can be customized by long-pressing them. Apps can be grouped into folders by long-pressing them in the app drawer. And if you get bored after a while by the current theme, give your Samsung Galaxy Y yet another makeover by selecting a new style from the theme store. GO Launcher EX is backed by a community of freelance designers, which submit new themes regularly. It’s worth checking them out!

One day I was browsing the net looking for a TouchWiz4 Launcher that would suit our Samsung Galaxy Young and I stumbled upon a project by SpaceCaker from xda-developers. It was a TouchWiz3 Launcher that was modified a lot to look like the TouchWiz4 Launcher. It was originally named ARMv6-MDPI. Now that was not the filename but I mean it was made for ARMv6 devices but MDPI only, and if one was to put that modified launcher on the SGY it would look very messed up. Months ago I found a TW4 mod that was meant for Galaxy Mini and that one didn't work out quite well too. (You can still find it posted here in the blog somewhere), but you don't need it because this one rocks! Anyways, I've made some changes and tweaks here and there to a degree that it can be usable. There are ofcourse things that I still need to check upon. Changes: Moved page indicator from top to bottom. Page indicator is now always shown on both workspace and drawer. Fixed page editing screen's dimensions to fit the ldpi screen. Fixed app positions in drawer. 
A few more things need to be fixed as well as the scrolling bug. 
 
And yes, it's finally here for download! 
 
As I have promised in the previous video, I will hand out a download link to the current progress on the TW launcher.
