Hello! As promised to some members of the board, here is my long diary of GG-ROM's journey.

Prequisites:

Your Samsung Galaxy Y (D'uh!) with the following applications installed:

A USB cable for your SGY

A computer with Microsoft Windows (preferrably 32-bit)

dsixda's Android Kitchen installed in your computer

Activity 1: Getting the files needed for brewing (I just love Starbucks, that's why brewing is used instead of cooking. :-D):

1.1. Make some modifications to your phone that stick to the ./system/ folder (e.g. Root access and SuperUser; BusyBox; and whatnot).
​

1.2. Get your current kernel. (Thank you, Skin1980 for sending this to us!) [Source thread]

1.2.1. Open Terminal Emulator and execute the following commands:

su
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/boot.img

Note:

1.2.2. You'll get a copy of boot.img to your phone's SDCard.
​

1.3. Using the file manager of your choice, copy the ./system/ folder to your SDCard.
​

1.4. On your PC, create a folder named "WORKING_(put ROM name)". Note that the WORKING_ part is essential in the Kitchen and continue the folder name with anything you want (e.g. WORKING_GINGERBREAD_DXKL2). Then copy the extracted ./system/ folder and boot.img onto that folder. Also, have a backup of that as well.
​

Sure, there are other methods out there but this is what I did. :)

Activity 2: Setting up dsixda's Android Kitchen. Official thread.

2.1. Download and install the following (Follow the succession as it is. Installing Cygwin first before Java Development Kit will give you troubles or hard times):

2.1.1. Java for Windows. (just follow the Free Java Download link).

2.1.2. Cygwin. Unzip this and follow the instructions in the "kitchen_readme.txt" file to install a

customized version

of Cygwin. - dsixda

2.1.3. dsixda's Android Kitchen. Follow "After following the setup for the kitchen, how do I use kitchen?"part of this post. Before proceeding to step 5 of that procedure, read below.
​

2.2. Put your base ROM (the WORKING_(put ROM name) folder you've created during Activity 1) on C:\cygwin\home\(your user account name)\kitchen\original_update. Proceed with step 5 on the procedure.

2.3. After step 5, you have all systems go for modifying the ROM for your personal usage!

Regarding bout copying the system files you can try the droid explorer http://de.codeplex.com/ to copy those files. Just remember the phone has to be rooted. (Sadly I can't test it with this phone if it works perfectly enough. I sold my SGY... run out of dough. lol)

Well, actually, I got involved into a new endeavor, affecting the development of this thread and the GG-ROM. Now, I abandoned GG-ROM but I would like you guys to know that I'll still write anything that I can find useful for this tutorial. It'll be posted on my own accord though. Apologies for being such a lazy coward lately. BTW, I have a summer class and the inevitable oral defense looms into me.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Fallen_Knight:
ok dude....just say so
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Androhacker:
Sorry to say but was this defence comment for the 5th time? :what:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Androhacker:
Lol! This much part was given by dsixda too (except for the boot.img and system) but to be true there is one more thing. You should tell whether we should convert update script to updater script or not.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] Androhacker:
And also which is suitable. Every detail. What settings will work and would not.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] bumslayer:
Definitely convert the update-script to updater-script. Galaxy Y definitely does not support Amend scripts (it is now obsolete anyway).

Once you have the edify script, you still need to modify it to suit the phone. For instance, to properly mount /system, the mount command should be coded follows:

mount("rfs", "EMMC", "/dev/block/stl9", "system");

It's not really necessary since recovery (stock or CWM) automatically mounts the system partition on boot. However, if you ran an update script which unmounts the system partition, it becomes a necessity.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
I thought the problem was because the kernel (boot.img) couldn't be installed in dxdia's way. the easiest way, we can use scripts from other rom, convert it to amend, edit it if we need, then reconvert to edify. I'll prefer to manually pack my files into zip file since its easier for me.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] bumslayer:
That's correct - boot.img wouldn't flash in dsixda's kitchen. To flash it, just look at faqbly's bmlunlock trick/script. To my knowledge, repensis ROM now uses it.

I also convert to amend, edit if needed and reconvert to edify. After the zip is created, I remodify as well, replacing the update-binary and editing the updater script as needed.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] kurotsugi:
if we prefer to use stock kernel, using script from myss or hybrid also work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phandroid:
Hello guys,

I'm running the latest Onecosmic's ICS on my i9000.

I'm getting FCs all over the place where the apps start force closing on start up and I end up not being able to use the phone at all.

I've been running into this problem before but I seem to have finaly figured out what the reason is. At first I thought it would be a Cache problem, which can be fixed by using a cache cleaner app periodicaly. This helps Sync problems which cause Gapps to force close continuously but it doesn't help when the system begins to crash.

I figured it's the size of the System partition, which is pathetically small for ICS. 200MB just doesn't seem to be enough space.

Is there a way to increase the size of the System partition? Maybe some kind of partitioning tool or something. Because the phone has more than enough space; with 185 apps I've used only about 600MB of the internal space available for apps.

Would appreciate any help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torrentship:
Hi,

As far as I know, the system partition is read only. So no space is allocated on it at run-time and therefore it's size can't really affect anything.

There can be issues where the partition size is too small when installing a new Rom and the installer script doesn't notice and so some of the ROM just doesn't get installed; but in general, it isn't used for run-time storage, only reading.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phandroid:
thanks for the reply. But why am I getting such nasty system collapses where everything stops working?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurre:
Try fixing permissions through CWM recovery. Or if that doesn't help, then maybe your /datadata partition is full. Type "df"in terminal to see..and you'll find solution for that from general section. :)

Edit: I was in the mood, do here's the URL: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1444333, but it's meant for CM7/CM9, so I can't guarantee that it'll work with onecosmic's rom..it'll probably work just fine, but I'm just saying ;)

I just want to know that how can I flash nAa kernel on my x8,

m on stock kernel with froyo pro ROM. do i need any other ROM to flash it or i can simply flash it...!!!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagger:
hello vicky

in order to flash kernels you need to unlock your bootloader....

You may search the forum for unlocking the bootloader.

But keep extra caution in the process of unlocking bootloader because you may brick your phone.

Press thanks if I helped.....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky6672:
I have unlocked my bootloader, i just want to know that can I flash kernel with any rom installed, I have Froyopro, so can i flash nAa kernel, I am in stock kernek now
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
Froyopro propably won't start on nAa kernel and it will stop after boot animation/kernel animation. You should try miniCM7 (and based on it ROMs) versions 2.1.8 and 2.1.9 for kernels nAa 10 and 11. If You would like older versions of MiniCM on kernels nAa 10 and 11 You will have to install also new graphic drivers (in CWM), cause without them performance will be very low. :) nAa 09 suits MiniCM7 ROMs f.e. 2.1.6 and 2.1.7. So there's a plenty of options ;)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicky6672:
But can i install MiniCM without nAa kernel, MinICM 7 requires nAa kernel..m confused now. do first i need to flash kernel or minicm 7,
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintckk:
If you want to install MiniCM7, you need aNa kernel. unlocked bootloader=> flash aNa kernel=> install Roms!

Check the date of manufacturing first before unlocked bootloader, otherwise, it may break your phone!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
As You can see at MiniCM's google page: http://code.google.com/p/minicm/ versions 6 supports stock SE kernel. If You want miniCM7 - it's neccesary to flash nAa kernel.

1). Download ROM and copy it on SD.

2). Flash nAa kernel.

3). Go into CWM recovery, which is built-in in nAa kernel and do full wipe.

4). In CWM Install custom.zip from SD card :)

If You install CWM7 without nAa kernel propably it won't start at all. And propably You will have to use SEUS to back to stock SE ROM, cause I think there will be no option to get into recovery :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chainfire:
USB Host Diagnostics determines your device's USB host capabilities.

USB host is a very powerful feature of recent Android based smartphones and tablets, but on many firmwares (both stock and custom) the feature is somewhat broken.

For example, at launch the Galaxy Nexus told all the apps and the Market that it supported USB host, but USB host did not actually work (this was fixed in the Android 4.0.2 update). This broke several apps.

That is just one example of many. There are even cases where OEMs advertise USB host support, but the device does not support it at all. It appears as if USB host support isn't tested by Google or the OEMs when they push out new firmwares and devices at all.

As we cannot depend on Google or the OEMs to correctly provide information regarding USB host support, and the Android framework will regularly lie about it to both the Market as well as Android apps, this application was created so you can test your device's USB host capabilities for yourself.

If you allow it, the app will also submit your results to my website, so together we can create a complete database of devices and firmwares and their USB host support.

This tool may also come in handy for those porting firmwares.

Requirements:

- Android 2.3.1 or newer

- (Optional) Root

- USB OTG cable (unless your device has a fullsize USB port)

- USB memory stick, or another USB device to test the connection with

The result database is available here:

http://usbhost.chainfire.eu/

The download can be found on Market here:

http://pkg.to/eu.chainfire.usbhostdiagnostics

It is also attached: DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE

(v1.2: 9284)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Chainfire:
Changelog for v1.3:

- Detects some common issues with firmwares that can cause apps to be unable to use USB host, and if you are rooted, offers to (try to) fix the problem

- Gives you a unique code that can be used to locate your result, if uploaded to server

- Added option to follow me

- Fixed some more crashes

- Disabled rooted API for Jelly Bean and newer

- API 14 and higher get Holo look now

Hello guys

I was thinking about the battery temperature when charging, so i came upon a little invention of mine. I just wanna share some pictures.

When charging, my battery heats up to 45 to 50 celsius. But by using my invented battery cooler

It can reduce heating up to 25celsius

I took the fan of my ps2 and ac charger of a toy helicopter and modified some parts.

Fan: 9volts

Ac charger(modified): 9volts

Voltage input: 100~220volts

Here are some pics...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] dragonnn:
I think you mean input? But the idea is amazing :D.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Ex Deus Xien:
Ok thanks about that haha.

I also got wrong spellings! Its hard to type in my keyboard.

A little add in my topic, you can also use your old fans from old power supplies from old pc's. Kekeke

Just look for any compatible ac charger or any adapter that can support the voltage of the fans.

Ill make a case after school to make it look more cooler!

This will greatly help the life of your battery.

Just remember, when soldering parts, make sure you dont get burnt.

It could be the best if you change the ac charger for an microusb plug and connect it to the phone, at same time that the battery charger.

2 in 1!!:D:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] Ex Deus Xien:
think twice

Actually, the phones voltage is differet from the fan, and the adaptor's voltage is different too.

your device will be burnt or will cause voltage problems:

result: damaged device due too overvoltage.
