i think it'll be also useful if you teach viewers here on how to look for error codes in logcat and maybe post descriptions of those error codes so they can learn and fix things without relying too much on others. its just a suggestion though XD
great idea on making this thread man.

Hello kemaro, thanks for the input.
Can you tell me specific thread / topic I could analyze more regarding logcat reading as logcat-ting covers almost all area of Android error :laugh:
Anyway, I'm in trouble categorizing this thread. Which do you prefer? categorizing with the current categorization or what?
Just wondering if there is any fully working custom kernels for our JB since it is honestly just a small step away from being perfect.
There is already only have some problems.
1. Forvivo's JB kernel : problem on storage mode.
2. CastagnaIT ported by Forvivo kernel :
a.problem can't use wifi and usb
b.deep sleep causes sleep to death
3. Blackmambaz kernel : user's say that both BFC and CFS version didn't make wifi works (i haven't try it though)
Beside all of this problem no. 1 and 2 of works fine, the costume governors works flawlessly :beer:
That is all my opinion after using it CMIIW. You can try it yourself and give the feedback though. Hope this answer your question.
If you are looking for stable kernel i think the most stable kernel yet is arco's kernel although it is not costum
Pressing "Thanks" button will be much appreciated if user's posts useful for you

Root your Galaxy Y
Rooting is the first step to customise your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Yes your warranty becomes void after that. So what?? You can always get it back after unrooting it. So chill. No matter where you read that its very risky or something like that, I'll say refrain from going to those sites. They are just putting unnecessary fear into your mind. Most probably they fear you could make your device function better than them. So lets go on with it. I've made it simple for you. Just follow the steps.
1. Charge your device more than 80%. Coz you still have a lot of work to do...
2. Backup your contacts, messages, apps and everything you want. For the contacts and messages you can just about use anything off the Play Store with a few stars and good reviews. But for the apps I would personally recommend the Astro app. Yes I know what you want to ask. It's free..
3. Download the zip file for root and place it directly on your SD card, not in any folder. Do not extract it.
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Press the Home button, Power button and the Volume Up button and keep holding it until the Samsung logo appears. Now let go of the buttons. You will see that some writings have come in red colour. This is called the Recovery Mode. Your touch screen wont work now. So don't panic if you touch the screen and nothing happens. Only the volume buttons, home button and the power buttons work now. Volume buttons for going up and down. Home button for selecting and Power key for going back to previous screen.
6. Select 'Apply update from sd card'.
7. Choose the file that you have downloaded and select yes.
8. After that you'll be taken to another screen where there will be an option 'Reboot system now'. Select it and be patient and wait for your phone to switch on.
9. Check your apps and if you see the Superuser app, it means you are rooted.
10. Now open it and update the binaries.
That's it. You are good to go. The proud owner of a rooted SGY. :good::laugh:
Nice guide bro but
The most easiest way to root is using AROMA installer to root by manoranjan...

Hello,
This Samsung Y GT S5360B is my first (ever) smartphone
I was trying to follow this procedure but I always got a message: "ERROR: Failed to write..."
I've tried with several files "update.zip" from other sites and also this one, does anyone has the same message? I'm not using the SD card that came with the phone.
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's too naive my problem.

That button issue usually occur when your system space is low. Did you follow the order of flashing?
