I am glad to announce that the YouTube channel has just hit the 200 uploads milestone, all of which are helpful tutorials and miscellaneous reviews about root apps, normal apps, tweaks, custom roms, kernels, and some games.<br />
<br />
All of this could not have been possible without your support, comments and feedback about the website. It's been really fun through this 1 year and 7 months as this was not just a dull archive website, but a place where we could share feedback to each other and maybe even learn a few things or two.<br />
<br />
It would be really selfish if not a single gift was given out for this achievement. Unfortunately, for some people who have wanted the gift to be a device, that wouldn't be possible due to financial reasons. Plus, this website is based off a single Samsung Galaxy model and it would kind of be pointless to give out another device, so giving out some accessories would be better as they will be specially for your Galaxy Y.<br />
<br />
Those who want to check out the giveaway, you may watch this video:<br />

<br />
If you've ever wanted a neat free protective cover, screen protector or another battery, you may give it a shot and leave a comment, it's really simple.<br />
<br />

[ROM] GYA ROM [V1.1 UPDATED] for Galaxy Y GT-S5360

The long awaited GYA rom is here! I have only released this rom just because of a lot of demands. Everyone found it good looking from the videos and I thought I'd share it.<br />
<br />

<h2>
</h2>
<h2>
What is the concept?</h2>
The concept of this rom is to bring you a totally different feeling when you flash the rom. The goal is to give the user after flashing the rom, a feeling of using a totally different phone with a more advanced TouchWiz look. This rom does not have all of those cool EDT Tweaks, customizable notification screen features and so on, because I am trying to keep the simple Samsung TouchWiz stock look. Still, there are some goodies that can come of most use, so instead of filling up the rom with useless crap I have only added the most needed and primary features such as the lidroid toggles, the custom lockscreens, Viper4Android FX to enhance your audio, and a few more.<br />
Please keep in mind that this rom was made for my personal use in the first place, so it's pretty obvious why it will be missing all of those useless extras mentioned above.<br />
<br />
<h2>
NOTE:</h2>
This is an experimental release, meaning that I didn't take any effort at all to test and improve things. This rom will come with Superuser app but without root binaries, so you would need to manually root it just like how you first root your phone. The boot animation also got damaged unexplainably therefore I have temporary disabled it with 1 line of code in build.prop. If you feel like you can fix it, remove the line "debug.sf.nobootanimation=1".<br />
<br />
<h2>
Features:</h2>
<ul>
<li>BusyBox</li>
<li>Deodexed</li>
<li>Lidroid Toggles themed in Samsung's TouchWiz look</li>
<li>6 AOSP Lockscreens</li>
<li>Viper4Android FX to enhance your music experience</li>
<li>Well organized Settings</li>
<li>Power Saver app (included in Settings)</li>
<li>Advanced TouchWiz themed</li>
<li>TouchWiz4 launcher look-a-like with replaceable/movable dock icons</li>
<li>Latest Google Play</li>
<li>Some app icons taken off Ace 2, S2, etc</li>
<li>Kernel free</li>
<li>Some performance tweaks have been added</li>
<li>Custom GYA boot animation and sound (temporary stopped from build.prop due to problems)</li>
</ul>
<h2>
Changes applied in v1.1:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fixed boot animation</li>
<li>ROM now comes rooted, should not have any issues with obtaining root access</li>
<li>Fixed WiFi "Obtaining IP address" issue</li>
<li>Zipaligned APKs to decrease RAM usage</li>
<li>Some bloatware removed</li>
<li>Default wallpapers changed </li>
<li>Calling should work without any issues and IMEI should be detected</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>

A while ago I showed you <a href="http://www.galaxyyarchive.info/2013/02/root-making-back-and-menu-buttons.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">how to make your menu and back keys vibrate upon touch</a> which works succesfully but unfortunately for users who don't want to root their phone, that wasn't possible as you had to use a root file browsing app and modify a file in the system partition.<br />
<br />
A member from xda-developers forums - <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5355336">thewarlord</a> has come up with this idea to make a CWM flashable zip file that gets the job done without all of that hassle on rooting your phone, going through your system partition and modifying a file, and rebooting the phone on top of that. Quite clever.<br />
<br />
This little mod replaces your default qwerty.kl file with one that has the changes done into it, and this can be considered universal (should work on any rom) as this file shouldn't really have much difference on various 2.3.6 builds.<br />
