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.
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

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
