galaxyyarchive.info turns to galaxyyarchive.blogspot.com

It has now been 4 years since founding the biggest Galaxy Y blog - GalaxyYArchive and most likely 90% of you have moved on to newer devices and barely even visit the website nowadays.

It has been a fun ride, but I have decided to stop paying for the domain name galaxyyarchive.info and use the original one provided by Google's Blogger platform - http://galaxyyarchive.blogspot.com

For those of you that visit the website frequently to look for ancient content whether it is converted ARMv6 apps, general tips and tricks for gingerbread devices, or even for the Galaxy Y, you should start visiting http://galaxyyarchive.blogspot.com starting from today. The original domain will still work for a couple of more days and redirect you to http://galaxyyarchive.blogspot.com

Those of you that are still interested in Android modding can drop http://droid-tips.com a visit and check out the articles.

Closed Project: Cyanogenmod 12 (Lollipop 5.0.x) for Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360



Happy New Year everybody!
Great news for Cyanogenmod fans! Our little Samsung galaxy Y GT-S5360 will be getting the CyanogenMod 12 rom. This means that our device will soon get Android 5.0.x Lollipop. Well that's great news for this device after a long time. Cyanogenmod 11 is also getting stable after each update. I just hope that the developers of cyanogenmod 12 (androidarmv6) hurry up and release a stable version of cyanogenmod 12 as they already have released an experimental build but its not flashable and can brick your device so everybody pls don't try that build right now!


NOTE:- Guys I have seen a few comments where people are asking me how to flash this rom. I am saying it again its just an EXPERIMENTAL build and you should NEVER try to flash this kind of build. Experimental builds are only for developers. Such kind of build can hard brick your device which means that it is dead and there is no way to fix a hard bricked device. I will write a new post when a flashable build of the rom is released with ways to install it on your device. But till then be patient.

UPDATE :- Sorry Guys but I just got to know that the project has been shut down because there was no way by which ART (Android Runtime) could be fixed for Galaxy Y. Also an update regarding Cyanogenmod 11. We would not be getting any further updates for CM11 as well. That project has been shut down as well. The download server as well as Jenkins has been shut down so those who want to download the latest CM11 build can download it from here. So again we will NOT get Cyanogenmod 12 for Galaxy Y as well as NO UPDATES for Cyanogenmod11.

Website changes and new look

So as you all know, the website has been pretty much dead for the past 3-4 months due to my high inactivity and lack of new content such as roms, kernels and themes for the Galaxy Y GT-S5360. A big thanks goes to Manik Chhabra who has just recently started taking my place in posting new content for the Galaxy Y while I was away from the blogging world and I would like to mention that I will also begin making new posts and upload videos again for the last few roms and themes that were missed out.

The other news is that this website will now have support for the new Galaxy Young (S6310) model. You will see roms, kernels, themes, tutorials, tips and tricks posted for it as well as videos in the YouTube channel. Since the phone is very affordable and is not bad at all for its budget price, you could even consider upgrading to it if you are on a very tight budget.

Also, if you haven't noticed already, the website now has a new look. This was done so that all three archive projects can now have the same look. It is possible that you may encounter 404 error pages and small glitches in the first few hours until the new template is succesfully implemented to the blog.
