a ROM is the software on your phone.
a kernel is the linux kernel (google "linux kernel") that underpins it.
If you want to customise, definitely get Android
Take a look in the forum for your device, and read at the stickies
Thanks!...will do

Yes, it was. Watch the noob video! Its hilarious
i thought this website was best for android developing :/ but no .>! no working cm7 yet ? i mean cmon billions buyed this cheapest sgy ! they al might be so dissapointed -_- ! i would like to give a shot to the androidforums blog something ! let's see if it's faster then this xda
and what is your contributions? if you want cm7,cm9, or whatever os you wan't to ported to sgy as fast as possible, paid professional developers to do for you. but i am sure it will cost you the same amount money with (at least) 2-3 galaxy s3. that's if you can find a developer willing to do for you.
Crazy Big Mouth Noobs! Sumtimes Doesn't even understand how to change permissions of a file.. nd after reading some blogs nd trying out some custom roms expects dat CM will drop from the sky!! ..Well lemme tell u.. The Major developers r same over every forum.. Nd this is the largest of em! So If u can't find sumthing in xda... U probably won't find it anywhere! If u r so desperate.. Donate to one of the developers who r trying to build CM7 bt doesn't hv our device.. still they r trying.. Try to appreciate the effort for a change!!
Why won't you just buy a phone that has cyanogen we are not dissapointed at are phones we are dissapointed at people like you!!!
Cm7 takes time to build you are already lucky because they trying hard to make this rom while you are just a big mouthed noob!!!
You are very lucky you can just sit down and flash roms did you ever wonder about the developers hard work!?!
SHAME ON YOU!

dont mind threads like this some people have no idea on how hard it is to port CM or MIUI to a android phone, some even take years to get a working port however we have highly skilled devs who are dedicated to port the rom for us, complaining about it wont get us there
so its either you'll sell ur SGY for a SG-Mini or ace or fit, SG-mini is cheaper than SGY now and some will trade your SGY for a mini, and it has a CM7 and ICS port, before you bought the phone you should have done a extensive reseach on what will it benefit you and what are the phone's limitations
so sell or trade it on ebay or somethin, and be considerate that its not the dev's job to port anything, have a life and understand it, give thanks to small things we have in this little community of ours in which i love
The fact is dat these guys only deserve the stock! But they r getting sooo much more than that.. that they donno nd dont want to think about the hard part!! Just whinning all the time!
Grrr !
WHAT A NOOB !!You don't know how our developers work hard to port CM7 for us ,Porting a ROM from other device is difficult as some developers here doesn't have SGY but they still trying to port CM7 for us , If you're looking for a cheap phone that has CM7 then trade your Galaxy for a Galaxy Mini !! SHAME ON YOU NOOB !!

Don't like where it started and don't like where it is going.
after my xpirences wit evri rom under galaxy Y GT S5360 development i cam to discover myself dat theres no rom dat gives smooth performance if we install a few apps more.neither repencis nor creeds n etc arent fast if im using more apps.
here i want u tell u is dat its our device d reason is.i mean it may b gud enuff to its price bt nt dat enuff to carry evri load wit turbo speed.
hoping cm7 will make me free from my worry.bt im nt hoping cm7 for sgy..if u guys want to say ur outstanding quotes n morals regarding this statement i want u let u knw dat i mean cm7 may cum one day defenitly
bt nt before i go for othr advanced mob of samsung.believing samsung vl b prioring to release d broadcom drivers despite of its a lottt of damn issues isnt logical for me.
P.S- so far d fast roms howevr i felt r repencis,chobits,creeds.
n no offence on developers.

here is a simple list of what you can do:
1)make your own ROM
2)get a better phone
deathnotice01 said:
well to all you people who think xda is skynet or some tech support,
xda is not a place to make your phone look cool,
xda is not tech support to fix "oh its does'nt work"
xda is not a playground for plagarism and egoistic dumbasses who does'nt know what they are doing,
xda is not your mom where in you want to have all the attention,
xda is not samsung service center to fix bricked phones,
xda is not a place to whine "When will it work"
rather,
xda is a development forum, by devs and for devs,
xda is a place where great minds alike help each other to get most of the device in which the manufacturers failed to give to thier consumers
xda is "How it works and making it work" instead of "When it will work?, why does'nt it work?"

yea...
this is not an equal comparison
you never use cm7 on sgy. how could you sure that it will have better performance than modified OEM rom?
Well , i think its too early to underestimate our galaxy y. We can't say our galaxy y has got nothing , and above that its constantly being developed for the better. I remember when i bought it it was like irritating to see it having bootloops and battery drains but now a lot has changed and its performance is much much better. My device is absolutely beautiful now, thanks to Doky's stock ROM, Ussrv5 ROM for beauty , savies kernel for performance and kuros kernel for battery to name a few. I think we should have patience and help in this device's development . we maynot make ROMs and compile kernels but at least try to find out certain solutions at our own levels and contribute in our own manners.
guys especially deathnotice if u ppl want to prove ur lov regarding our sgy u do it,cos i too lov it n even like xpressing itt.bt dnt use me to enhance ur lov on it n dont mis lead my post wit ur awkward scribblings wit nosense n meaning. if u guys intend to b cool u mit understand wtf i told above.bt u proved urselves dat u r trying out for ur identity showcase witout undrstndng my overall view n if u even dnt want to get itttt still , im nt anymore intrstd to spoon feed u.i xpectd such u guys before posting itself who intendly unnecessarily make a messy freaking arguements.
my intention of d post was actually to share a feeling n info wch was true.n more im a guy who thinks wats hard in giving a thanks even though one here dont help me,bt reply me.
you say your pieces then we say ours. I didn't see any reason why did you feel offended by our post. personally I see your request is a riddiculous one. you want the dev to create something to make your sgy have 3000+ antutu benchmarking score. it will be as if you ask someone to make a bicycle running at 100mph. yesterday I visit galaxy ace thread and their antutu score is ~2200. that's not too far with ours. if you see repencis thread there are even someone with ~2100 antutu score using repencis rom. considering the hardware spesification between both sgy and sg-ace, the devs here have created miracles. thats not the only achievement of our devs. in term of battery saving, with proper system modification many user have reported that their sgy only use 1-2% battery power for 7-8 hours. thats something you never could find in another device development

firstly.. .i too didnt see any resun y u feel offended by my post even wen i clearly written "no offence on devs".
secundly.....i havnt said our roms r slow,i said thy r slow wen v instal a few more apps.
thirdly... i mentioned their clearly dat d resun y roms being slow with such huge count of apps is cos sgy is itself nt dat much capacitive to weigh evri load,n bt its nt d issue vit d roms.

I am using 106 apps on my modified version of USSR 5 (personal use) I never felt that its slow,a bit lagy but how can we expect performance like nexus,if we are not paying that much
You cant expect everything from one phone in this price range.
Sent from Galaxy Y
I love my phone weather it'll get cm7 put not... Many great roms are always there.....
Never thought that sgy is slow than others.....
Our phone has lots of developers no body knows what will happen.. but unfortunately there are always a limitation when i comes to phone "Skies the limit?" even skies has the limit? haha dont know what im saying but i know phones has a limit.. see Iphone 4s. vs. the new galaxy s3 quadcore.. but still the iphone wins..i dont know why? maybe because its popular i never read the article about these but im sure the consumer want apple than samsung.. what im saying is that we paid for a cheap lond end phone? although i get free because its a gift to me.. we dont expect like it will because just like a car not literaly but being in fast??performance?
these is a logic you got more money? more satisfaction.. but low end phone dont expect.. but for me im well and suprisingly happy for my phone
my ROM is u.s.s.r v5 i dont get any lags D

i personally dont care,
there is no argument involved,
are'nt you sick of people creating threads like "When will CM7,9, my potato work?",
anyways,
i respect your opinion,
no one is obliged to do anything here,
its either you share or you wont,
simple as that,
there is no nonsense in wht i said,
its people who come here and act like the devs are obliged to make CM7,9 or make thier phone look like super alien tech device which is near impossibility,
i love my device,
but i know its a low end phone,
i educate myself with what my phone can and can't do,
that should be everyone's attitude,
to educate themselves out of ignorance about the capacities and limitations of what our device can give,
its either you stick with it or leave and get something better,
i always make criticisms in a constructive and decent manner,
i would never jump to conclusions before analyzing every aspect,
anyways,
have a good day sir,

You have created way to many threads for this question. You have asked it over and over and over again. Just stick to one thread, dont create 4x the same one thinking different people will view it.
About your question - yes it will work.
