Get Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy y S5360 with Aura Custom Rom

Though Android 2.3 Gingerbread is said to be the most stable version until now, people who used Android 4.0 ICS usually get bored with gingerbread. Even I had Galaxy Y running on Gingerbread and HTC Wildfire S running on Ice Cream Sandwich. But after using my HTC I never wanted to use Galaxy Y because of the user interface and features I got in ICS. Anyways, I am here to share how to install Ice Cream Sandwich on Samsung Galaxy y S5360.

We all know that the highest upgrade Galaxy Y got is the Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. I guess this could be highest update for this device according to its hardware support. So does it means, Galaxy Y users will never get to experience ICS on this smartphone ? Nope, that’s wrong. You can get the feel of ICS right on your Galaxy Y with the help of Custom Rom called “ICS Aura ROM”.

After installing Aura ROM, your Samsung Galaxy Y will be with just next Ice Cream Sandwich. You get all ICS animation styles, ICS user interface, new miui music player, compass and many more ICS applications. Just check the screenshot of Aura Custom Rom:
