[ROM][4.4.4] Optimized CrDroid for Samsung Galaxy Y

[notnoelchannel]

Hello! I was bored, so I optimized this rom.

Installation instructions:
Reboot to CWM/TWRP recovery
Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik
Flash the ROM, and if you are using the CM12 themed ROM's repartitioned build then feel free to install GApps.
After the installations done, reboot to system
Voila! You installed the ROM

What are the changes?
- Use Samurai kernel
- Add Adrenaline Engine, Broadcom booster, etc
- Delete out unused apps like:

• Phone related things like SMS (RIL isn't working, so why do we need Telephony?)
• DSP Manager
• Terminal, and etc...

And what does work?
Everything, it has the same issues as CM11.

Can I repartition?
Yes, you can. I'll make a guide for it soon w/ video tutorial.

Where's the download link?
Here you go.

Wow! I'm glad to see that there's still movement (low, i see, but still) on the Galaxy Y community!

Galaxy Y is one of the most enjoyable phones I ever had - it is amazing the power we were able to extract from this tiny Broadcom low-storage device

I'm working on a video series about optimizing old devices for modern daily usage (as Android 2.3 doesn't support most of modern apps, while 4.4+ supports a lot more, like WhatsApp for instance).

I just ordered a Galaxy Y and I'll test your ROM and provide feedback as soon as i get it!
Thank you very much

thanks! i recommend trying out cm12 first, BUT YOU NEED TO REPARTITION. This means that you can get more storage .. And you can optimize the device for daily usage
It's hard to find a Y nowadays, where'd you find one?
Don't forget to link your channel so I can give you credits!

Hello, I have this Galaxy Y GT-S5360 that has been lying around for years.
Years ago I flashed it to Hyperion 9 so I believe it also has a very old cwm recovery...
Could you point me to a step by step guide for repartition and flashing this rom as well as the minimum requirement for the cwm/twrp recovery?
Thank you

Hello!
Here's the repartitioning instruction (you don't need to do it unless you really need gapps):

[ROM][4.4.4] CyanogenMod 12 Themed ROM for Samsung Galaxy Y

Hello! I was a little bit bored, so I made a CyanogenMod 12 likely ROM for this old device. If coming from stock rom/CM9/CM7/CM11: Check post #102 If coming from CM12 themed ROM's other build: Check post #114, this is the latest build. If...

BUT use the optimized crdroid's zip if you want to install this rom.

I bricked my phone (stuck at boot logo) right after installing twrp-3.0.2-1-totoro.
Further reading in twrp totoro thread I found out that this recovery is only for CM11 rom.
My bad, I did not read the whole thread before flashing.

Now I am still trying to solve this problem first

 

[notnoelchannel]

did you solve the problem?

 

[Carlinfo]

Not yet....
It is really strange. When the phone is in download mode, odin can not detect. Odin can detect when it is off and charging. But when I tried to flash, it stuck in file analysis.
Now it seems I can not even enter download or recovery

remove battery when in download mode, then boot again and plug in your cable

 

[Carlinfo]

I can not enter download or recovery any longer....
It is just boot looping

 

[notnoelchannel]

hmm that's weird. did you get stuck when flashing the pit?

 

[Carlinfo]

Stuck at file analysis...

 

[notnoelchannel]

reboot to download mode again and plug in the cable before pressing vol up, do you use odin v3.07?

 

[Carlinfo]

How to reboot to download? I can not enter download....
I tried Odin v3. 07 as well with same result

Vol down + home + power button, and if you did it right then a warning should pop up. Press Vol up after that and you should see an Android with "Downloading..."

Hello, did you succeed to fix your problem?

 

[Carlinfo]

Sorry for my late reply.
As shown in my first video, vol down + home + power button only gave me bootlop.
The same result if I pressed vol up + home + power to enter recovery. It just bootloop

Good day, do you know if the ROM supports bluetooth?
