Some questions to you ;) (Samsung Galaxy Y)

Hi I'm lipka and I'm new at this forum. As you know I have the Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 2 Gb. I have a few questions for you and I hope I can get an answer but when i do not get it and will be sad . I apologize in advance to maybe stupid questions that I will ask you once, but I will mention that I've never had a phone with Android operating system, and Y is the first device I also ask for your understanding. Even in advance sorry for my bad English but I'm from Europe (Poland) and I used google translator. Okay so let's start :
1) What is this whole "rooting phone", and upload it and what is "ROM"?
2) How to change software to the "newest"? (I have XXLE1 ( i have very much lags :/) and i want to change software)
3) How to upload the whole "ROM's" to my phone?
4) What is the best kernel to choose? I ask because there are literally a lot and I do not know which one to choose
5) Which "ROM" the most speed up my phone, improve his performance and will look the best of all ? Give me your's proposites
6) Is it true that the glass front of our very mobile draws after prolonged use?
And the last one: 7) Is the two gigabyte memory card good enough to me that I need to buy better?
From the top, thanks and Hello to all, because this is my first post on this forum

Welcome to xda
Rooting is gaining acess to your phones OS and being able to change it
Update your phones firmware like this settings>about phone>Software Update or maybe use odin
As for the roms i heard hyperion is the best but you might want to install supercharger
Installing a rom is easy peasy you go in the recovery when you turn off the phonr. Ita power+volume up+home key buttons ... Hold them until the logo dissapears. And voula your in the recovery.
P.s you might want to check the sticky general section basic sgy topics

As CALIBAN666 said, test all of them. They are all used for some particular purpose or other, so you never know which one you might end up liking. Go through their features first.
And about the first post, those were stupid questions. But it dosen't matter to us as new users always come here and we welcome them. What bothers us that threads like this one are created again and again. That's why we advise new users to read the stickies of the forum and search before posting.

But with all due respect, this is rather big messup, for such minor update, at least for people who do use sd cards. I have over 20 apps installed on SD cards and fix requires root, so if I get legal update either many programs don't work anymore or I root and loose Knox warranty? Neither solution is acceptable.

I fully agree with you. And, I don't want to sound like a teacher, but this proved that reading before doing is very wise.

I agree with you too, but Samsung sold more than 10.5 mln Note3. XDA have 5.5 mln members, so even assuming every member here have Note3, what about the remaining 5 mln Note owners, probably not even aware XDA exists? If I had official update, I would probably update without giving it much thought, or reading around and if many of my programs wouldn't work I would be really pissed and most likely sending it back for service. Am I the only one thinking this is not acceptable and maybe I should write a letter to Google and Samsung what I think about it? And what could possibly be a reason for this mess? Anybody knows, why would they change permissions just like that? Many of my programs installed on SD without my input, some use it for cache and probably most wouldn't work anymore.

it's not a problem that will be "magically" fixed by Samsung... it's a new feature of Android 4.4...
A new permission needs to be added to the app... so it's up to the app developer to add the needed permission.

hi,
the new update to E S explorer a day or 2, back fixed this issue .!.
so just check that you got latest update of E S explorer ( if you use it Google play store )
otherwise just use Samsungs onboard " my files "explorer
and yes it is not a Samsung" thing" but Android ( Google ) Kitkat.
good luck

Thank you for an answer but I know about it. What I'm asking is different. People claim that it's new kitkat feature so the developers have to add it to their software to adjust it to 4.4.2. But what I really see it's actually Samsung screwed up and third party developer can't to nothing to overpass it.

It's not Samsung that screwed up... Others are also having the same problem on non Samsung devices...
Permissions that specifically need to be added for kitkat if you want to access all the sd card are WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE
More information here : http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.4.html

The latest ES Explorer works fine. So, it's fixable from developer side.

Query regarding phone GT-S5360t

Dear brothers
Buy a Samsung Galaxy y Phone
I found out later that his name was technical : GT-S5360t
And I have a Roman official phone GT-S5360 Without the letter T
Is it possible to install the Roman mentioned your 2.3.6 phone GT-S5360
phone gt-s5360t.?
The letter T

I think it's totally ok to do that since they sport the same specs and all, I still own a Galaxy Y gt-i5363 (which is basically the same see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021525 )
and I flashed all kinds of custom roms for the gt-i5360 with no problem.
of course you can always reflash stock rom with odin if anything goes wrong. Happy roming
press thanks if I helped.

Fresh Start!

Hello,
After messing the devices whatsoever!
i want to do a fresh start, clean install !
i've downloaded the full rom last december...
Started back in fastboot and flashing, but the boot doesn't work...
i guess i'm missing something in the install... still some slots A and B etc etc
What would be the best way to make a fresh start ? should it be slot A or B ?
because for the moment, i cant restore my device

Flash the newest available firmware with MiFlash tool selecting "Clear all" in the bottom right corner.

Really bro? Do you know how to flash the ROM properly? If not you're being a complete a**hole as people will put their resource on that problem just because you don't follow the flash instructions properly. You're issue is really weird and shouldn't be occurring at all, maybe that's a hardware issue or some of the image files of the Stock ROM you download must be corrupt.

Hello EdWin
Thanks for the very nice answer. Its a pity you lost that much time for such an idiot answer
I've been flashing phones since first release of android and no phone has ever been bricked...
- So yes i know how to flash a rom...
Lately i've notice the android structure changed, talking about slots... Which i dont know very well...
- sorry being an asshole but I wanted to have an input on how to do a clear fresh start...
- concerning my issues... Confirm this is happening... On the October update i dont have any issue... And on December update touch screen is not working well, it work once after i shut down the screen and put it back on...
Unless you have anything constructive i suggest you dont loose anymore time to make stupid answer !

Have a look at my guide over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/ota-official-fastboot-image-n2g47h-7-12-t3728929
It should answer all of your questions and it includes the proper batch/ shell script files which automate the flashing for you straight away.
