What is this ROM?
This ROM gives you the stock Samsung experience on CM9/Android 4.0.4 ICS. Consider this the update Samsung was unable to give. This ROM is themed like TouchWiz Nature UX , the version which was shipped with Galaxy S3/Mini, so naturally this ROM looks exactly like those two devices, much like how Galaxy Y's stock ROM looks exactly like Galaxy SII.

Update [August 29, 2023]: The project is shelved as of writing this update due to my Galaxy Y living on life support at this point, I will try to release the next updates as soon as I get my Galaxy Y to be working. Don't expect updates for atleast another week or two.

About ROM

This ROM basically brings you the Touchwiz UX on ICS, it acts like a successor to the Galaxy Y 2.3.6 Stock ROM, it has nearly all the stock ROM apps and resources. It acts like an "Official Samsung Update", so if Galaxy Y was ever to receive any official Android 4.0.x update, this is how it would look like.

Nice work, As much as I want to port this to DUOS with cerulean OS i can't because My duos finally decided to die
Sad that it's dead, it had to though, these phones are living on life support anyway.

I don't know if porting would have been a good idea, because the ROM nearly changed completely over releases. Also you would have to edit the "Updates" app each time so that it does not download updates for GT-S5360. What would have been a good Idea is that you ported the latest release, and after that took control over how the duos version takes shape. That way it would be different from the SGY version.

If you are talking about the latest "LTR" then follow these steps:
Boot into CWM recovery
Go to mounts and storage (the second last option)
Wipe System
Mount System
Mount Data
Mount Cache
Flash the downloaded Update
Reboot system

Done!

No it is same as previous that i installed no change like google is crashing while scrolling pls help me from screenshot that how to install
I don't have my device at the moment, maybe if that doesn't seem to work then do a clean install like below:

Boot into CWM recovery
Go to mounts and storage (the second last option)
Wipe System
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe sd-ext
Mount System
Mount Data
Mount Cache
Mount sd-ext
Flash the downloaded Update
Reboot system

If that doesn't work i don't know what the issue is because everything seems to be working for me. (Also the issue maybe that the google search app isn't working try using search directly with the browser. Also send me a screenshot of your settings about phone screen (Specially CyanogenMod version).
