[ROM][CM 7] New Experience Kit Kat Special Edition for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360

XDA - Developer <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4515662">Xicor Yagami</a> has ported a Kit Kat based ROM from the Galaxy Mini to our Galaxy Y. It may seem strange that even though it says Kit Kat and has Kit Kat Icons, some apps still have the JellyBean look to it. So it's up to you to decide to use this ROM or not.
