sorry, i'm new, can't post links yet, the system won't let me
Two apps I stumbled on in the play market that really floored me:
Root App Delete - Free app that lets you freeze, and subsequently delete if you want to, system installed/pre-installed apps
Galaxy Toolkit - Free app that lets you perform network unlocking on your rooted SGY
Of course, your phone needs to be rooted first. Hope this helps! :good:

Please help a noob to understand the documentation
I am still reading through the extensive guides and instructions, however the more I do the more I get confused, I think
What I want to do is modify my Galaxy Y so that I can add more memory (Via SWAP) and also be able to move applications that are on the Phone storage to the SD Card.
What I am not sure of is where to start. Do I flash, Rom, root or what first and what is the best way?
I assume I need to do a backup first, but is that best done via the phone or the PC. Is that just a case of drag and copy from the phone storage to the PC? What if I stuff it up, can I restore the phone back to default as it is now before I do anything, how best to ensure that can be done?
I had a look re ODIN, but there is no Australia Telstra default package (that I have found yet) so how do I ensure I have a fail-safe return to default option?
Finally setting the swap, do I use CWM or Mini Partition wizard, or does it not matter?
Do proceed is the correct steps in order of - Back up - Root/Rom/Flash - Swap - Move Apps?
I found a couple of other sites that seem to be simpler in the steps, that being (I have had to edit the urls due to the forums 10 post requirements, please replace space dot space with just a dot

Swap file: galaxyystation dot blogspot dot com dot au/2013/03/how-to-increase-internal-phone-memory.html
The second link has two downloads, which I have downloaded onto my PC, do I just add them to the SD card or something else, as that guide was not clear to me, as in step 4 it says to look for and select “skin1980-G1-S5360+CWM.zip” which I assume I should have already placed in the root of the sd card. yes? No? However the file I have is "CWM.zip" not "skin1980-G1-S5360+CWM.zip"
Thanks for taking the time to help

Start by rooting your device first.

There should be another thread here too. You can refer to any of them.
If you have a pc , download the file via your pc and click test by opening it in winRar.
