A week ago, percy_g2 started a thread at xda-developers forums with an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod9.
Note: Please don't expect to see fully working features on this one as it doesn't have the progress the Cyanogenmod7 build has. By installing this you should be aware of the bugs you will experience and various functions not working, please keep the hateful comments away.
The build we will have a look at in this post will be Build #2 with the changes:
"Overlay fixed for ldpi (no more fc in phone app and overlapping)"

- Go back, choose to install zip from sdcard

Mitko (Author) Jelly Bread v4 is a custom rom that has been ported by E M I N E M from xda-developers. It is claimed to be based off PsychoGame's CM7 Alpha 5. To use this rom, you would also need to flash PsychoGame's kernel so if you have read the post about his CM7 Alpha 4 installation, you should be familiar with what to do.

If you didn't know, Android can also be booted into Safe Mode just like how you boot your Windows PC and the main point of it is of course for troubleshooting issues. Thanks to Safe Mode, you will be able to uninstall unresponsive apps and fix your phone.

What is bloatware?
Bloatware is basically apps that come installed from the factory which may not be of much use for you. I've read and seen many people being upset because of the huge amount of apps we get that come by default with the Samsung Galaxy Young. Especially the rom developers, they need space in the system partition for other custom system apps and not only that, but bloatware can come in the way of the phone's performance such as having too many useless apps running in the background taking up memory.
Most of the apps are assigned as system apps and cannot be removed without having a rooted phone, you would need to use apps such as Titanium Backup to uninstall each of them manually.
What exactly does this do?
What this zip file contains is a simple updater-script and nothing else. In the updater-script you will find some basic commands which remove specific apk files aswell as odex files (if your rom is odexed). The script does not contain any commands to fix permissions or anything of the sort so beware that after flashing this and when you try to install one of the removed apps again in the future, it will force-close. For that, simply go to advanced menu in CWM Recovery and wipe dalvik cache and then choose the Fix permissions option.
Caution:Download Bloatware Remover - Click here.
It is possible you may be unhappy with the aftermath of using this script as it deletes a lot of apps and cleans the phone as much as it can. Please do make a nandroid backup of your rom incase you want to go back. You have been warned, please refrain from insultive comments.
