XDA - Developer Xicor Yagami 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.

Additional Info [READ FIRST]
How to use odex script builtin---------------------------------------------
The rom is yet odexed...this script is useful when you add some apps in system\app folder..if you not add..ignore it1. Open terminal emulator app and type: "su" and give superuser permissions;2. Type "dexo -h" and read options.
Adding Google Account-----------------------------
The Google Account must be entered ONLY from this route: Settings\ Accounts & sync \ Add Account.
S2E-----IMPORTANT:Recommended settings_- Open s2e application, and give root permissions;- In the application select ONLY: "Applications", "Private Applications",;- Not select "cache di download"...may cause problems with Play Store;- Select "Dalvik Cache" and "Applications data" only if you have a good sdcardUsing Titanium Backup---------------------------Titanium should be used in an intelligent way: no integration of Dalvik cache, no recovery of system applications, no recovery of accounts and access points.
Installation
- Go in recovery mode
- Flash this kernel first
- After it's done, choose to reboot recovery
- Go to mounts and storage and format /system /data and /cache - then mount them
- Go back, select "install zip from sd card" and after "choose zip from sd card"
- Select the rom zip file, choose Yes to confirm when asked and wait for the end of the procedure
- Then go back and choose "reboot system now"
- First boot requires a long wait (up to 10 minutes) so be patient

Are you done modding that custom rom to your desires and want to perform the final touches on it such as speeding it up? Now you can easily do that thanks to a very simple odexer script developed by MatrixDJ96 from xda-developers forums.
This procedure is a must if you plan on speeding up your phone, such as gaining a faster boot process, gaining a bit more free space and most importantly, removing some lag while using the system apps.
Download script - Click here.
Source: XDA Developers
Basic explanation:
Odexing your rom has it's positive and negative sides. Odex files are actually collections of parts of an application that are optimized before booting. Doing so speeds up the boot process, as it preloads part of an application which is a good thing, but the bad thing is that it makes it more difficult to modify a system apk like you would do it on a deodexed rom. Best is to modify the custom rom to your needs and when you feel there is no work at all left to do, odex it.Download script - Click here.
Instructions:
- Download the zip file to your sdcard
- Boot into CWM Recovery and flash it
- Reboot your phone
- Now open up the Terminal Emulator app which should be in your app drawer
- Type in su - it will then give you a popup to grant it superuser access, allow it.
- Now type in dexo -h which should display a list of commands
- It is recommended you just type in dexo -all which odexes your rom completely (WARNING: Requires free space in system partition, mostly recommended on a rom that has most bloatware removed!)
- After the process is done, you may find your statusbar missing and whatnot, just reboot your phone and everything should be back to normal, oh, and your rom should be odexed.

You may already be aware that it is more likely for the Galaxy Y to not receive the 4.4 Kit Kat update and the only possible ways to get that look is using icon packs, modded launchers and maybe wallpapers.
So here is the complete pack of the Nexus 5 wallpapers, extracted from the device itself. Below are two sample images:
Click on the images to enlarge them. All wallpapers are with original resolution and have not been resized.
Download pack: Click here.
Simply download the zip file to your computer and/or phone, extract it using archive software, choose an image of your desires and set it as a home or lock wallpaper.
Now if you combine these with the modded launcher or icon pack you will get a great look. Stay tuned for the white statusbar icons!

Developed by invinsible_asp and he claims it is 95% accurate to the actual Official KitKat Launcher. It actually is a modified S3 Launcher but not the one Sam-Ron modified. It is the exact launcher he extracted of a chinese device that he modified to look like KitKat.

[App] [2.3 +] Android 4.4 Kitkat Launcher for [GB] [ICS] [JB ...
For those of you who don't know, the Nexus 5 along with Android 4.4 Kit Kat have been released. Just days after that, the launcher was leaked but unfortunately it requires you to have an Android version of at least 4.1 and above.
A workaround for this would be to obtain the icons, make them into a flashable zip and then use them with a ICS/Jelly Bean look-a-like launcher. KnightlyNinja from xda-developers forums has already done that.
Just like any other icon pack, this one also simply replaces only the png files for the apps' icons and does not replace the whole app. After trying this out on a TouchWiz launcher, the results weren't that good but if you use a launcher such as Holo Launcher, you might get pleasant results. The icon pack is also offered in two versions. The first one has a few icons replaced, and the second version a bit more, with a little different style.
The icons replaced are not just the dock icons, but the Settings, Camera, My Files, Gallery, Calendar, etc.

DC07 is at it again with ANOTHER CyanogenMod 7 based ROM and this time, he brings us Slim CM7.This is a port of another ROM of a Galaxy Mini so there might be some issues so I recommend his other ROM MiniCM
So I decided to emulate the ROM's for our Young too.
Some big plus points or Observations according to me, from these highly-compressed and lite ROM's are =
2. Due to less RAM consumption, phone tends to be more responsive, smooth and faster !
3. Overall performance increases roughly around, 5 times !
4. If you are a benchmark believer, then AnTuTu scores were also slightly higher compared to the original ROM's
5. These lite ROM's along with any script like Adrenaline Engine, can boost your performance slightly higher.
6. These ROM's can be used as a daily driver, thanks to The Jellaxy Team !
7. Slim ROM's have slightly higher battery backup compared to the original ROM's. For me atleast, i.e; with minimal usage the phone lasts around =
Slim CM7 = 1day 13hours <--------- "Not really that great when Hyperion 8 GM Final lasts up to 2 days,
well before it bricked my phone when applying a live wallpaper"-SamDeniably
8. There's nothing great about these ROM's. BUT, their SIZE speaks for them !
Slim CM7 = 52 Mb
9. Going into details, he simply removed useless apps, fonts, ringtones that bloat our device. Anyway you can simply download their duplicates from Play Store. This will save a lot of space in the system, ultimately improving the performance up to some extent
10. He also wished to notify that, in future along with removal of bloatware, there might be significant changes in kernel specifically compiled for these minimal ROM's. He is still learning about Android so no promises, as this is all a pure-hobby, like everyone else's.
11. He had removed bloatware in to the maximum extent possible, but still if you feel there exists such an app which is useless, inform me, he will remove it
12. Finally,he ensured there was no warez used to create these ROM's
13. On a side note he removed all the boot-animations to conserve space. the screen will be blank, so don't worry you did not brick your phone
1.Install Percy's CM#2 Kernel FIRST!
2. Copy downloaded rom to sd-card
3. Wipe data
4. Wipe cache
5. Install zip from sd-card
6. Wait till it flashes
7. Again wipe data
8. Again wipe cache
9. Again wipe dalvik cache
10. Hit reboot and enjoy his rom !
2. Reduced the file system to even lesser sizes.
3. File-manager/gallery pre-included in system
4. Extreme Bare-bones
5. Stable-Rock-Solid
6. Now using ICS themed Zeam Launcher in CM7
7. Apex launcher
8.wp keyboard Removed Due To FC

SLIM SERIES ROM's for Young are inspired by the famous SLIM-ROM's by tchaari for all the High-end phones like, Nexus, S3 etc.So I decided to emulate the ROM's for our Young too.
Some big plus points or Observations according to me, from these highly-compressed and lite ROM's are =
Plus Points
1. Our phone has very less RAM to run GB in fully optimised manner. So these ROM's slightly fulfil that requirement. As the apps in these ROM's occupy very less RAM of around, 20 to 30 MB only !2. Due to less RAM consumption, phone tends to be more responsive, smooth and faster !
3. Overall performance increases roughly around, 5 times !
4. If you are a benchmark believer, then AnTuTu scores were also slightly higher compared to the original ROM's
5. These lite ROM's along with any script like Adrenaline Engine, can boost your performance slightly higher.
6. These ROM's can be used as a daily driver, thanks to The Jellaxy Team !

A while ago, Xposed Framework was back ported to Gingerbread and since the Galaxy Y is running GB and sadly always will be, it's on the list of supported devices.
For those of you who are not aware of what this Xposed Framework represents, in a few words it basically allows you to modify your system without the need of decompiling the apk files and then pushing them to your system. It saves tons of time for modifications to the UI such as changing text color, background, images and whatnot whether your rom is deodexed or odexed. Sadly, those exact advantages are missing for the Galaxy Y as for now there is no such module available.
I decided to give it a shot and guess what, it installs without any problems! Huge thanks to xda member liudongmiao for porting this to Gingerbread and of course even bigger thanks to xda member rovo89 for making all of this possible.
As I mentioned above, there are no modules available for now that help modify Gingerbread TouchWiz roms such as the the module called Wanam Xposed which is made for users to modify their Jelly Bean based TouchWiz roms.
We do still get some goodies such as the Play Store fixer, the XPrivacy and App Settings. All of which I go into detail about in the video you will find in this post.
Play Store fixer (module): Click here.
XPrivacy (module): Click here.
App Settings (module): Click here.
I would say the most useful module for now is the App Settings one because it gives you the ability to change an app's DPI, force a screen orientation, force it to not be fullscreen or force it to be fullscreen, etc.
If you have no idea how to install and setup all of this to work, you may watch this video below:
These are the only known working modules for now, if you happen to stumble upon some neat ones that work in the future, don't hestitate to leave a comment!

BUGS
-Unfortunately, I haven't tested the ROM yet since both my PS Vita and Galaxy Y are having problems and I'm trying to figure it out first but people have been saying they cannot connect to their internet (did not state whether it was Wi-Fi or 3G), Radio Force-Closing and 3G not working
EDIT: I've tested the ROM WITH Percy's CM#2 Kernel and everything works fine. No force-closing, nothing and all that is a problem is that "Media scanner" doesn't seem to show as a notification but it does read my Micro-SD Card's content and the Rotation animation flashes as a "Green Screen" when it does but it's disabled by default. That's pretty much it, nothing goes wrong if you follow the instructions PRECISELY

The Hyperion ROM series for the Galaxy Y are well known for their fast performance, smoothness and professionally made features and custom menus developed by xda member CarlDeanCatabay and a few other people who also contributed.
Unfortunately for the fans, this seems to be the last and final build of the Hyperion 8 Golden Master but ther appears to be an incoming update to the rom soon, so stay tuned.
P.S. For those of you who might be wondering where the AOSP lockscreens are, or whether there is an extended power menu or not. The answer is, they are not included simply because the developer(s) find them useless to have on the rom.

Here is yet another Galaxy S4 look-a-like launcher for the Samsung Galaxy Y. This one is currently being modified by TheRoHit18 from xda-developers forums. On top of that, in this post I will provide you a S4 Weather look-a-like (based off Ya Weather) that is again modded by TheRohit18 with a transparent background and a flashable S4 fonts zip file.
This one seems awfully similar to SaM-RoN's S4 launcher release that was exported from a chinese device, but to have it available in a seperate post, there must be some changes applied that make it look different than SaM-RoN's.
The previous version of this launcher had an issue where the user would install it and then get a black screen when trying to launch it. This issue is claimed to be fixed in this version 4.

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.
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.

Once again I would like to remind you that this rom was never meant to be released to the public, thus it lacks most of the features roms nowadays have. If you would like to see this rom advance in features and get most issues fixed, please leave a comment or drop an e-mail at: galaxyyarchive@abv.bg
What is the concept?
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.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.
NOTE:
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".Features:
- BusyBox
- Deodexed
- Lidroid Toggles themed in Samsung's TouchWiz look
- 6 AOSP Lockscreens
- Viper4Android FX to enhance your music experience
- Well organized Settings
- Power Saver app (included in Settings)
- Advanced TouchWiz themed
- TouchWiz4 launcher look-a-like with replaceable/movable dock icons
- Latest Google Play
- Some app icons taken off Ace 2, S2, etc
- Kernel free
- Some performance tweaks have been added
- Custom GYA boot animation and sound (temporary stopped from build.prop due to problems)
Changes applied in v1.1:
- Fixed boot animation
- ROM now comes rooted, should not have any issues with obtaining root access
- Fixed WiFi "Obtaining IP address" issue
- Zipaligned APKs to decrease RAM usage
- Some bloatware removed
- Default wallpapers changed
- Calling should work without any issues and IMEI should be detected

A member from xda-developers forums - thewarlord 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.
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.

Installation:
- Download the above zip file to your sdcard

- Wait a few seconds and after it says "install from sdcard complete"
- Press the back button to go to the main menu and select "reboot system now"
- Enjoy your vibrating soft keys
