  4. Save Google Apps on desktop without unzipping anything.
  5. Take your Galaxy S and its USB cable.
  6. Use the USB cable and connect your phone with the computer.
  7. Good, now transfer the downloaded files from computer to your phone’s SD card.

  9. Turn off your device and wait a few seconds.
  10. Then, enter recovery mode.
  11. From recovery mode first select “wipe data factory reset” and “wipe cache partition”. Return, select “advance” and then choose “wipe dalvick cache”.
  12. Return to main menu of recover y by selecting “+++go back+++”.

Customize Your Phone Without Flashing a Custom ROM With The Xposed Framework

Sunday 27 October 2013
Posted by Unknown


It is common knowledge that the best way to customize your Android device is to flash it with a new ROM. It is also wrong. It turns out there’s an easier way: If you have a rooted device, you can customize any ROM using a free and powerful app: The Xposed framework.  Imagine being able to:
  • Change the way your status bar looks (put the clock in the center, change the color of the icons)
  • Force some apps to always start in full-screen
  • Make it so the screen never turns off when you’re reading a long article on Pocket
  • Enable 180-degree screen rotation
  • Change the DPI on a per-app basis
  • And just about anything else you can think of…
All without flashing a new ROM! Sounds crazy, right? But Xposed really works, and I’ve been using it for about a month now. Let me show you some of the cooler things you can do with it.

The Framework

Xposed itself is just a framework: On its own, it doesn’t change anything about your device. It merely makes it possible for you to install modules. That’s where all the customization happens: You can pick and choose different modules, each with its own configuration options. This is a brilliant architecture, because it means anyone can write a module – you don’t have to wait for the main Xposed developer to pay attention to your device or your favorite feature.
First things first: You’re going to have to install the framework itself. Assuming your device is already rooted, you just have to grab the Xposed Installer app, and run it. It will ask for root permissions, and then you’ll just have to tap Install/Update, wait a moment, and reboot your device when you get a success message.
xposed-4
Above you can see what Xposed looks like when it’s already installed but due for an update (left), and when it’s fully up to date (right). So, yes, you get over-the-air updates for the framework, and it keeps getting better even after you install it.
Next, you’re going to have to pick some modules to play with. Modules do not change system files on your device: All of their work is done in-memory, which means you can easily disable them if things go wrong, and just go back to the way your device originally ran without having to restore any backups. Did I mention this framework is brilliant?
Here’s the built-in module repository:
xposed-5
This part of the app could do with a bit of work — specifically, community reviews would make it much better, as would support for tagging each module with relevant tags. As it stands, you can see when each module was added to the repository, and when it was last updated. You can also quickly search for modules — the right-hand screenshot shows a few navigation-bar related modules. This doesn’t mean they’re the only modules you can use to customize your navbar – only that the word “navbar” was used to describe them.
Once you download a module, you are going to have to enable it and restart your device
xposed-6
To the left you can see four disabled modules, and to the right you can see them all enabled. Again, just ticking the checkbox won’t do the trick – you must also reboot your device for the modules to become active (and you may not want to activate four modules all at once, just in case they interact in surprising ways).
Now, let’s check out three of these modules. These aren’t necessarily the ones you’ll go for — there are dozens of modules to choose from (you can also browse the module repository online). These are just three modules I’ve been using for over a month, and have been impressed with.

App Settings

App Settings takes much of what I love about PAC ROM and makes it available in any ROM:
xposed-2
For each individual app on your phone, you can specify a number of key settings. You can run it in a tablet or phablet layout by changing the Screen setting; force it to start in full-screen mode and hide your status bar; make it so the screen never turns off as long as you’re using that app (great for reading), and more.

BootManager

One of the things that can slow your Android phone down over time is apps starting up at boot. Some apps really do need to start when you first boot your device: The excellent security app Cerberus is one example. But really, there is no reason an app for choosing wallpapers would want to start itself when you switch on your phone. BootManager helps you prevent such apps from starting:
xposed-1
This module couldn’t be simpler to use. Just tap the apps you want to keep from starting, and you’re done. By the way, just because an app is on the list doesn’t mean it actually starts on boot – only that it can do so. By marking it in BootManager, you take away that ability and ensure it doesn’t auto-start.

XBlast Tools

Many custom ROMs tout basic interface improvements as key selling points: “Center clock!” (put your clock in the center of the status bar); “Kill-all button!” (a way to quickly terminate all running apps from the Recent Apps screen), and other tweaks are marketed as great reasons to install a ROM. Well, with XBlast Tools, this is no longer the case:
xposed-3
This Xposed Framework module lets you tweak numerous system settings. Make your screen rotate 180 degrees when you flip the phone over; make the status bar transparent; go ahead and put that clock in the middle of your status bar. With dozens of settings to tweak and customize, you won’t run out of options anytime soon — and you won’t have to install any special ROM to enjoy those settings.

Convinced Yet?

The Xposed framework is pretty much the best thing to happen to Android customization since rooting became widely available. I can only hope the developer community that started around it grows stronger with time, and that more and more people adopt the framework both as users and as coders. Some apps, such as Greenify (mentioned here), even ship with optional Xposed modules as part of the main app. Perhaps this is a sign of things to come.
Will you be trying the Xposed framework out? If so, I’d love to hear about your favorite modules in the comments – do share!

installed software to the partition
you created by “linking” them.

Root your Galaxy Y


Rooting is the first step to customise your device. Without rooting absolutely 'extraordinary' nothing is possible. Yes your warranty becomes void after that. So what?? You can always get it back after unrooting it. So chill. No matter where you read that its very risky or something like that, I'll say refrain from going to those sites. They are just putting unnecessary fear into your mind. Most probably they fear you could make your device function better than them. So lets go on with it. I've made it simple for you. Just follow the steps.

1. Charge your device more than 80%. Coz you still have a lot of work to do...

2. Backup your contacts, messages, apps and everything you want. For the contacts and messages you can just about use anything off the Play Store with a few stars and good reviews. But for the apps I would personally recommend the Astro app. Yes I know what you want to ask. It's free..

3. Download the zip file for root and place it directly on your SD card, not in any folder. Do not extract it.


File Type: zip update.zip

4. Switch off your phone.

5. Press the Home button, Power button and the Volume Up button and keep holding it until the Samsung logo appears. Now let go of the buttons. You will see that some writings have come in red colour. This is called the Recovery Mode. Your touch screen wont work now. So don't panic if you touch the screen and nothing happens. Only the volume buttons, home button and the power buttons work now. Volume buttons for going up and down. Home button for selecting and Power key for going back to previous screen.

6. Select 'Apply update from sd card'.

7. Choose the file that you have downloaded and select yes.

8. After that you'll be taken to another screen where there will be an option 'Reboot system now'. Select it and be patient and wait for your phone to switch on.

9. Check your apps and if you see the Superuser app, it means you are rooted.

10. Now open it and update the binaries.

That's it. You are good to go. The proud owner of a rooted SGY.

How to make your own Android Custom ROM


Want to get started with building your own custom ROM for

 Android? Our tutorial guide will show you how.

In this Post i will show you how to build your own android custom ROM and flash it to your android device you can make cool android customized ROMs for your device, now lets begin. 
You will often hear to Android being referred to as Open Source. This means that the code that makes up the operating system is available for everyone to view, download , and if they wish, edit.
Android is now pretty mature, and having the option of tailoring the OS to your need is incredibly exciting , but something most people don’t even think about doing as they feel they need a degree in Computer Science to even start.
While its true that to truly develop the next CyanogenMod is going to take a fair bit of hard work and knowledge, there are a number of tools available that simplify the process. The easiest way to cook up your own ROM is to use one of the online Kitchens such as UOTKitchen or RomKitchen.
These online resources allow for a point and click interface where you chose the features you want, click generate and it spits out the ROM ready to flash. Before starting this guide it might be a good idea to have a quick hunt about and try out a few ROMS of your own. Online kitchens are great, but don’t offer a huge amount of flexibility or device support, and many of them are not up to date with the latest versions of Android.
In this guide though we are going to go a little deeper but still just basically adding and removing some features as a gentle introduction into building your own ROMs.
  1. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Download the tools

    First off we need to navigate todsixda’s Android Kitchenhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 and download the tool. Its mainly for HTC devices , although others are supported. Depending on your operating system you will also need to install a few extra files.

  3. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Download our source

    Next download CyanogenMod for your device fromhttp://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices. Choose the stable version and remember not to unzip the download.  If you want you could instead download standard Android AOSP from:http://source.android.com/index.html,although this will involve some command line work.

  5. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Run the Kitchen app

    Depending on your operating system the commands may differ slightly, but unzip the Kitchen files , then open up a Terminal or command line and move to that directory. Something like ‘cd user/documents/kitchen’. Once there type ./menu to run the app. You will then see the menu.
  6. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Import our base ROM

    You can edit any .zip ROM image file you like , including stock ones. This is great if you want to remove unwanted apps from the image. To import our CyanogenMod ROM move the .zip to the ‘original_update’ folder in the Kitchen directory.

  8. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Add ROM image to working directory

    In the menu press 1, then press enter to add the existing ROM to our working directory so that we can edit it. You will be given some options such as making a backup , and then a choice of ROM images within that directory. Choose the update-cm-7.1.zip.

  10. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Rename the ROM

    Our first bit of personalization is to rename the ROM. In the Kitchen menu press ’8′. You will be shown the original name , press ‘y’ and then type in your new name and press enter. This will then show in Settings->About when you boot the ROM.
  11. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Add/Remove some Apps

    A common complaint with stock ROMS is that they come bundled with lots of apps that you don’t want. When cooking your own, you can add or remove apps by adding or deleting the .apk file in the system/app folder in the WORKING_myrom directory.

  13. How to cook your own Android ROM

    ZipAlign your APKs

    After you have added or removed the apps you want, the next step is to zip align them. This process greatly speeds up access to the applications. In the Kitchen menu press ’6′ and then press ‘y’. After this check for errors using option 23.
  14.  
  15. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Build the ROM

    Next we need to build the ROM. In the menu press ’99′ and then ’1′. Make sure to choose ‘y’ when asked to sign the ROM. You can then rename the .zip file to something more personal. The ROM image will then be located in the Output_Zip folder.
  16. How to cook your own Android ROM

    Boot the ROM

    Once the file is completed compiling ,copy the zip to the Sdcard and then boot into recovery by holding down the volume while turning on phone. Install as you would any other ROM and watch it load! Now go and try some more tweaks…
