[{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070]

This is a thread with links to all guides, that may be useful for the users of galaxy s advance.
I started this thread, as most of the guides get lost under large number of threads and finding them gets difficult.
Most of the guides here are from our forum only.
If I miss any useful guide worth mentioning, just tell me. I will include it in this post.
Any other suggestions like format of the post etc are also welcome.

Generally, without doubting the effort you've probably put in all of your work, I have to tell that these roms published by you lately don't really come with any greater customization, therefore changing the kernel and copying the 4.4 launcher into all your rom's aren't really reasonable, and I personally don't see the point of publishing them.
Just to see that there are more threads in the developement topic, well...
Enough said, keep on customizing, maybe try to do it more deeply, and take these as some negative critiques.

Double your Micromax A65 perfomance using my modified build.prop

Hey guyz m proudly introducing my build.prop for Micromax a65 to boost perfomance......
FEATURES:
#RAM free tweaks
(RAM free Upto 420mb)
.
#Net speed tweaks added to boost signal strength so that internet speed will increase a little bit
(i will not say directly that it will double ur internet speed think logical we hv edge class 12 a tweak cant convert it to class 32 )
#Battery Saving tweaks
(it wont work in build.prop v1 as maximum perfomance can minimise battery backup )
#Bravia Engine tweaks
(only in build.prop v2)
#Perfomance,Multitasking & Gaming tweaks
#Xloud tweaks
#Faster Scrolling Speed tweaks
#Touch screen tweaks
(it not mean that the touch will work like apple iphone but it imroves touch better responsive)
HOW TO APPLY:
1.Download root explorer from google play & mount system as r/w
2.Copy the build.prop to /system/ & overwrite it
3.Reboot ur phone to apply changes
OR
Push it using ADB(for advanced users)
1.copy the build.prop to C:\platform-tools\
(note u have different path then paste it in ur desired path mean in which folder u will run adb comand)
2.Type this comand
CODE:
adb remount
CODE:
adb push build.prop /system/
CODE:
adb reboot
NOTE:battery saving tweaks doesnot working in build.prop v1 but it is better than v2 in perfomance & bravia engine and xloud tweaks are in build prop v2

great job bro keep going
