First of all this can all be done by using Google Search. I just compiled everything here. If you have any QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS and COMMENTS please do post so that anyone reading this will have some extra knowledge in this thread.

Secondly, please read the instructions and procedures carefully before doing it so, if you aren't so sure on doing some procedures written here then you are free to ask. I will not entertain questions that is/are already written here on this page. For more general information on Samsung Galaxy Young please visit our general thread here.

OK lets get started.
First root your phone..
for more details about rooting, please visit this thread by MrGambit.

Second step is that you need a Custom Rom, and the closest ROM for ICS look is the Creed's Rom version 2.1!

--== HOW TO INSTALL CREED'S ROM! ==--
NOTE: BACKUP first your apps/3rd party apps from your SD, maraming tools sa market na pangbackup jan. BACKUP your contacts, sms, logs na din.

1. Download nio po ito CWM skin1980(Clockwork Mod)
2. Download Creed's Rom 2.0
(thanks to XDA and pratyush.creed)
3. After downloading CWM.zip and CreedRom2.0.zip, ilagay ito sa ROOT location ng SD card ninyo.
(INFO: ROOT location ng SD means sa pinaka-main folder ng SD card niyo kung saan makikita ninyo ang ANDROID folder, DCIM folder, DOWNLOAD folder and etc. )
4. TURN OFF your phone then go to recovery menu by pressing anf holding (volume up key+home menu key+lock key/hold it until Samsung Galaxy logo came up!)
NOTE: BACKUP is important! Para pag hindi mo na gusto yung Creed's Rom, maibabalik sya sa kung saan ang huling state ng phone mo and have at least 600MB of free space in your SD CARD when backing-up! On recovery mode, press volume keys for up and down and home key as enter.. go to "APPLY UPDATE FROM SDCARD", select the CWM.zip you downloaded and mapupunta ka na sa Clockwork Mod Recovery! Select "BACKUP AND RESTORE" then select "BACKUP". After backup, when you reboot your phone mapupunta yung backup files niyo sa SD Card (/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/*YOUR FOLDER HERE*) rename the folder if you want but not the files!

5. After lahat ng files ay nabackup na again punta ulit tau sa Recovery mode. Select first "WIPE CACHE PARTITION" and "WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET".
6. Then after hard reset, go to "APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD" then select "CWM.zip" para mapunta kayo sa Clockwork Recovery mode, select "INSTALL ZIP FROM SD", select "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD" and hanapin ang Creed's Rom 2.0.zip na dinownload nio. After installation ng Creed's Rom, reboot po..
NOTE: Mejo matagal po ang reboot sa mga 1st timers mag CWM. It would take 5-10mins. (First boot you will hear the startup sound and a black screen for about 5-8mins, then vibrate and then the start-up animation. SO PLEASE BE PATIENT, everything is reconfigured kaya po matagal.

7. And whoala! CREEDS ROM 2.0 na kayo (Congrats!) then after enjoying 2.0, download nio ung update ng
Creed's Rom 2.1 HERE.
OR
Unofficial Creed's ROM v2.1 by Saiz HERE
at ilagay ulit ito sa root ng SD Card niyo.
(due to Dialer bug in 2.1, I remove the dialer app in update 2.1 hence dialer from 2.0 will be used. Please check ADDITIONAL TIPS AND INFORMATION section for more info about Unofficial Creed's Rom v2.1 update)

8. Again punta kayo ulit sa Recovery mode, PERO wag na pumunta sa Clockwork Recovery, select "APPLY UPDATE FROM SDCARD" then select "CREED'S ROM 2.1.zip" then reboot!
WARNING: If mag hahardreset ulit kayo, paki install na lang ulit ng Creed's 2.0 via CWM kasi nakakabootloop daw kapag hard reset lang.



--==HOW TO INSTALL ICS SKINS ==--
After installing Creed's Rom version 2.1 (CONGRATULATIONS!), go to Market and download the following applications except GO SMS and GO LOCKER, links to download are posted here.. Don't worry, they are free of charge!
1. GO Launcher EX
2. GO Launcher EX Notification
3. GO Locker - DOWNLOAD GO LOCKER HERE
(go locker app is unavailable at the market, don't know why?)
4. GO SMS Pro version 4.31 - DOWNLOAD GO SMS HERE
(go sms version 4.32 [feb.7 update] has conflict issues with go sms ics theme, dont update this version in the market!)

After downloading and installing all the said apps. Download the skins to make it an ICS look!
GO LAUNCHER EX ICS Theme --> DOWNLOAD HERE
GO LOCKER ICS Theme --> DOWNLOAD HERE
GO SMS Pro ICS Theme --> DOWNLOAD HERE
keyboard with calibration --> DOWNLOAD HERE
Clock Widget --> DOWNLOAD HERE
NOTE : Don't forget to install these skins and app!

After downloading all the files needed to make and look like an ICS theme let's get it on to setting it up.

1. Press the "Home Screen Key" and a pop-up will appear, check 1st "Use by default for this action" then select "GO Locker".
2. Put the ICS Clock Widget wherever you want at the Home Screen.
3. Press "Menu Key" at the Home screen and select "Themes", if you installed the GO Launcher ICS theme, you should see a thumbnail. Select on it and apply.
4. Press again the "Menu Key" at the Home screen, go to "Plugins" tab and select "Go Locker".
5. If you installed the GO Locker ICS theme, you should see a thumbnail. Select on it and apply.

8. Lastly, if you installed the 3rd party keyboard, meron lalabas sa app drawer nio na SM@RT Keyb0ard. select this and press settings, check the SM@RT Keyb0ard Pro then select "Select Input Method" choose the SM@RT Keyb0ard Pro, go to the keyboard settings, select General settings, Select skin then use Android or Gingerbread, whatever you like. (I like this app because this is the most accurate keyboard of all keyboard in the market including the default keyboard. It has a Calibration settings! )

Whoala! ICS Themed na gamit mo! Congrats! For other settings check niyo na lang and explore your new Launchers.

**UPDATE 02/12**

--Want to sound more like an Ice Cream Sandwich? Including default ICS ringtones, notifications and even your audible touch sound? Then DOWNLOAD HERE.
Here's how to install, there are two ways on installing this compressed file.
First is through CWM recovery, pero take note.. once installed this mawawala yung default na ringtones, notifications and ui sounds, so i suggest to do backup.
Second is manual installing, although matagal at mabusising process ito pero di mawawala yung mga default ninyong sounds, how? I used Script Manager app.
1.Extract the .zip file, and place it wherever in your SD.
2.Open the script manager. of course browse as root.
3.On the script manager window, press Menu key, then select "Advance Options", select "Mount/system as rw"
4.Go back to script manager window.. DONT EXIT script manager, and find where you extracted your ICS Sounds on your SD card, if you want pwede multiselect option sa Menu key. Copy the files you want to add.
5.Dont press the Back/Return key after you copied the files, just press the "folder icon with dot dot dot" to go back until you reach the internal memory (folder icon slash), locate and press the "system" folder, then "media" folder, then "audio" folder. You will see different folders (alarms, notifications, ringtones, ui) select any of the folder which you want to add the sounds and paste it inside the folder.
6.To change audible touch tones, just replace the "TW_SIP.ogg" and "TW_Touch.ogg"

"Suggestion lng po, mas sharper and better po ang graphics ng widget locker... kung gusto nyu po ICS theme download nyu lang po wallpaper na to then as for the slider, adjust nyu lang po sa ICS default. meron din po sya option na full screen and pwede din po i customize yung lock and unlock sound. Pwede nyu rin po i customize yung behavior ng mga pop ups... heto po yung kay Bratboo, salamat po sa kanya...then customize nyu lockscreen nyu with these wallpapers... Yung Creeds 2.1 okay na sya, nagmumukha lng medyo fake yung mga icons pag naka go-launcher in my opinion lang po..yung Go sms po maganda sya, yung pop ups nya parang ICS na rin talaga..tnx TS!!hope i helped..."
