What You Don't Need to Read

Aside from the topics you can use right away, much of this guide is skippable. I have placed some extra-technical yet newbie friendly information in self-contained sidebars.

Don't read this stuff if you are impatient, an alpha geek or simply don't know how to read and understand English.
​

Foolish Assumptions

I am going to make two(2) assumptions of who you are: (1) You are someone who is a new owner of Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S5360 and (2) you want to tweak your device and make it more customized but don't know where to start. I hope you know that some customization or mods(modifications) need more than "he says" and "they say" to be able to make it work. My goal is to help you know the "basics" so you won't end up messing with your phone or spamming Samsung Galaxy Young GT-S5360's section.

How this guide is organized

Inside this guide, you will find sections arranged in four parts. Each section breaks down into topics that cover various aspects of the section.

Part I: Guide to Flashing ROMs and Kernel

This part present a layperson's introduction to what flashing is all about. This is a good place to start if you are clueless about what a ROM is, a Kernel, Flashing and why you are suddenly expected to use one.

The good thing about this part is that it focuses on how to use a Flasher and System Recovery without getting into the technical details of each tool. In other words, this part is aimed to help you learn how to flash and update your phone's firmware.
​

Part II: Guide to Tweaking and Modding

Uh-oh. You saw this girl in your neighborhood -and look! She's got a Samsung Galaxy Young like you! and you need to impress her with your SGY so she'd ask you to pimp her phone too but the problem is, you don't know where those cool tweaks are! Very Bad!

This section covers every tweak and mod available for Samsung Galaxy Young and Android devices as well -of course all tweaks and mods to be posted are sure to work with your beloved SGY.
​

Part III: Guide to Unlocking and Getting Your Warranty Back

This section focuses on network/carrier stuff. You'll learn how to unlock and relock your phone and the best part of this section? -You'll learn how to restore your phone's virginity -ain't that nice? :D
​

Part IV: Hardware Basics | Reference and Guides

This section has some specific information about Samsung Galaxy Young's hardware components to help you get started in knowing your device a little more. ;)
​

Where to Go from Here

Yes, you can get there from here. With this guide at hand, you're ready to plow right through the rugged SGY tweaking terrain.
