2 mods made by <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5089207">Faris Hadzir</a> from xda-developers forums. Please note that these may only work on Hyperion ROM, or atleast that's what the original poster tells us in the thread. 
The modded music may actually work on any, can't say the same for the lockscreen though. 
Test on other roms at your own risk!

28 CM7 Wallpapers (480x320)

I've quickly ripped these 28 default wallpapers from the CyanogenMod7. 
These can be found while using CyanogenMod7 and going to Wallpapers -> Default wallpapers. 
They are in resolution of 480x320 which is the perfect size for our Galaxy Young's screen because the wallpaper will be visible in multiple pages on your launcher.

Presenting you the awesome CM10 boot animation posted by <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4841056">KnightlyNinja</a> from xda-developers. 
This was released for the Galaxy Y's resolution (240x320). 
 
This is not for CM10 only, but for any ROM as long as you have a custom boot animation enabled. Most custom roms support custom boot animations. If you are on a stock rom, then read <a href="http://www.galaxyyarchive.info/2012/07/how-to-use-custom-boot-animations-on.html">this post</a>. Follow part 1 from the instructions there only.

OR 
2. Flashable zip - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?p58g9753whlfr8m">Click  here to download.</a> 
This zip file you can flash in recovery mode in just a few seconds. 
 
Instructions (manual method): 
<ol>
<li>Download the bootanimation.zip to your sdcard</li>
<li>With a root exploring tool, go to the sdcard, copy the zip file</li>
<li>Go to /system/media/ - Mount it in R/W mode if you haven't so that you can paste the file</li>
<li>Once in R/W mode, paste the zip file and choose yes if asked to replace</li>
<li>Change the bootanimation.zip file permissions to r-w-r-r</li>
<li>Reboot your phone and enjoy the new animation</li>
</ol>
Instructions (Recovery method): 
<ol>

<li>Boot into recovery mode</li>
<li>Mount /system just incase</li>
<li>Flash the zip file</li>
<li>Reboot and enjoy the new animation</li>
</ol>

A few weeks ago on our Facebook page I mentioned something about there being CM7 egl libs posted by a person named yusepz which were claiming to be able to play games such as GTA III and others which till now we weren't able to. 
 
If you remember, to play GTA III you would need to have been with a Galaxy Y Duos ROM, and to be able to play Temple Run: Brave was just impossible.
Thanks to these lib files and instructions below you will be able to start up the 2 games and possibly many more! 
 
Now I'm not gonna go into details on how to obtain the 2 games, find the ways yourselves whether it's the legal or illegal ways, shouldn't be my problem but I would highly recommend you support the developers and purchase your games. But at the moment DO NOT purchase Temple Run: Brave because swiping doesn't work. Now you get past the logo/loading screen but you cannot use the touchscreen to control the character. More information on that you will see in the video below along with instructions on how to setup everything. 
 
This does not mean that any HD game out there will be able to be played, but games which had startup problems or any other graphical glitches may be possible to be started now and maybe played. 
 
Requirements: 
<ul>
<li>Chainfire 3D + Plugins - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmf3eMoXeno">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmf3eMoXeno</a> (You might need the Pro version for the EGL option)</li>
<li>Root browsing tool - e.g. Root Explorer: <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer</a></li>
<li>Archive program that's able to extract zip files (do it either on your computer or through your phone)</li>
</ul>
Downloads: 
<ul>
<li>Chainfire 3D - <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d">Free Version</a> | <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d.pro">Pro Version</a></li>
<li>Libs - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?gog784dmac227gt">Click here</a> (Extract the zip file, do not flash)</li>
</ul>
After you've downloaded the needed files and have installed the needed apps follow the video instructions below: 
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5sI2Zk_etQc" width="420"></iframe>
   
Many thanks to <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=5091744">Imranabbas22</a> from xda-developers for being kind enough to show these perfect instructions. 
 
Like I said in the video, if you test more games with these lib files and manage to get them working, please leave a comment for the rest of the viewers to know.

Got a few e-mail requests to make a ready IMGs.zip file as shown <a href="http://www.galaxyyarchive.info/2013/02/manually-adding-aosp-statusbar-icons.html" target="_blank">here</a> on how to add AOSP statusbar icons on any stock rom, in this post I am going to share with you the ICS statusbar icons which can be added the same way you did with the AOSP icons. 
 
So download the IMGs.zip file again and just follow the same instructions on modifying your system apk's, building a flashable zip file and flashing it as shown in the video there. 
 
Download IMGs-ICS.zip - <a href="http://www.4shared.com/zip/KTUWxnKJ/IMGs-ICS-wwwGalaxyYArchiveinfo.html" target="_blank">Click here to download.</a> (DO NOT FLASH THIS ZIP IN RECOVERY!)

Manually adding AOSP statusbar icons

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So the first post on this was not a huge success as many people got bootloops by flashing my XXLH2's system files. 
 
In this video, I am going to show you how to manually add them to your Galaxy Young the safe way (as long as you do everything properly ofcourse). 
With this method not only can you put these icons but you can also leech statusbar icons off other ROMs by taking the necessary png's from their drawable-ldpi folders and inserting them in your system apk's, then creating a flawless flashable zip with UOT Kitchen. 
 
What will we be using for this procedure? 
<ul>
<li>7zip, WinRAR or any other archive program</li>
<li>UOT Kitchen</li>
<li>Stock Recovery</li>
</ul>
Downloads: 
<ul>
<li>I would recommend to use 7zip for this one - <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/download.html" target="_blank">Click here.</a></li>
<li>Link to IMGs.zip (DO NOT FLASH THIS, EXTRACT IN PC!) - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?b2yyhwy46ywprwk" target="_blank">Click here.</a></li>
<li>Link to UOT Kicthen - <a href="http://uot.dakra.lt/kitchen/" target="_blank">Click here.</a></li>
</ul>
Now that you have installed all the necessary things and downloaded the required files, you can begin following the steps in the video below:

ICS Lockscreen for all Custom ROMs

Here is a cool mod for the people who use stock roms. You get to have the ICS Lockscreen on your phone. This was posted and made by <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4664271">Ganesh A  </a>from xda-developers. 
The procedure is simple, you download a flashable zip file depending on your rom and flash it via CWM. 
<div style="text-align: center;">
Screenshot:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTU7p8bBwOv3pShXRLGCZcghzpVSkOmo1pnXCg9RcgtY5wQNxE6pTaMzbOZPRCV5QV6jIXiyzncVDNLJzFZRl_HzvRb2FvjQgFQAx19A8ezST95HLD0kd7K0EzoYmwXWRomk9Bi0Lt2sn/s1600/ICSLock_zpsf3af73db.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGTU7p8bBwOv3pShXRLGCZcghzpVSkOmo1pnXCg9RcgtY5wQNxE6pTaMzbOZPRCV5QV6jIXiyzncVDNLJzFZRl_HzvRb2FvjQgFQAx19A8ezST95HLD0kd7K0EzoYmwXWRomk9Bi0Lt2sn/s320/ICSLock_zpsf3af73db.png" width="320" /></a></div>
 
Below are official download links to 4 custom roms that have been tested and working: 
<ul>
<li>Hyperion - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?5538w0z1qn7jdr1" target="_blank">Click here.</a> </li>
<li>JellyBlast - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?cuuubplft73a1iw" target="_blank">Click here.</a> </li>
<li>Cod Rom - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?de88tyrrpk8mwbk" target="_blank">Click here.</a> </li>
<li>USSR - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ia18b667p5gl55m" target="_blank">Click here.</a></li>
</ul>
If your custom rom has not been listed you could try renaming for example hyperion-res.apk to just framework-res.apk as long as the custom rom you are using completely supports custom lockscreens. 
Also please note that stock roms are not supported because you would need to modify additional files in order to "enable" in a way to use custom lockscreens. 
 
Installation instructions: 
<ol>
<li>Download the zip file depending on your ROM and put it on your sdcard</li>
<li>Boot into recovery and then flash CWM recovery. If you don't have it - <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?9835kooe7r2mtnf" target="_blank">Click here to download CWM</a></li>
<li>Go to mounts and storage - be sure to mount /system</li>
<li>Go back, choose to install zip from sdcard</li>
<li>Locate the zip file on your sdcard, choose Yes</li>
<li>Reboot</li>
<li>Enjoy</li>
