Rom development. - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys, great forum btw.
I have an ainol novo8 discover, (a supposed quadcore ipad mini alternative)
I really need a new rom for this device as the stock firmware is terrible. However search as I mite I can find nothing.
The device is rooted and using es file explorer I tried to remove the bloatwarw, to no avail, uninstall unsuccessful is what im greeted by.
My first question is how do I uninstall these apps? I have dissabled them through settings-apps but I want them gone completely.
My second question is where do I start when working on a new rom for a device? Please note that ainol have yet to release the source code for the ainol discover.
Anyway guys thank you all for your time and patience, and please be aware im a newbie to all this so please do try to simplify your answers.

What a shame.

You have to give some time for people to reply lol, check out Rom Toolbox, you can uninstall everything is you want.
in the upper right is a box "Type to find your device" put your device in there and it will take you to your phone, from there you can access the info you are looking for.

Fair point, sorry.
Just very frustrating device.
Ainol havent released there firmware yet anyway so I guess theres no way of creating a rom without it.
Thankyou btw for mentioning rom toolbox, with that es file manager and a factory data reset I managed to get rid of all of the bloatware (that I know of ) off the device.

Hm.. I'll recommend five things. Firstly, I'd recommend the Q&A section, as I see that you posted in.
Secondly, I'd recommend looking at the posts that come up when you make this post.
Thirdly, the search menu. I know, they did a good job hitting it in on the top.
Fourthly, I'd recommend looking here, which you would have found if you did a search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18669986
And Finally, I'd recommend hitting the thanks button over there. >>
But seriously, who am I to tell you?

If you need things such as ....

i googled "build android rom from source" and got this website that tells you step by step on how to do it. I have ubuntu installed and actually its updating now but i will have everything i need by the end of the night and im hoping just for personal gain in knowledge that i can have a successful booting rom by saturday night. grant it that its nothing special to the devs or even the community but we all have to start somewhere right?
If anyone was interested my build won't be done by Saturday. I kind of accidentally messed up my boot partition and am putting windows 8 on my laptop then I will reinstall Ubuntu and try again. I came to a stepping stone though as I was in process of making a rom from source and may require some help. I hope a couple of devs may be able to assist me if I need them.

I'm glad that i'm not the only one having trouble with th app. . .
However downgrading is not a great solution for me since i didn't saved the apk.

Does anyone having the same trouble found another solution ?

Searching would have told you that we are working on the forums and it is causing issues with the APP. There have been dozens of threads about this.

[Q] Which rom is better for Galaxy Mini 2

Well... I know this question will be answered in this web, but I canot find it...It's true.. sorry...
I have been looking for a good rom for Galaxy Mini S2, but I don't find anything. I know it is not a great mobile, but when I bought it, first-hand, new, without install anything else but whatsapp..... My mobile goes horrible. I tried a hard reset, and I got the same. So, I think the solution is a rom. But which one?
I'm thinking in CM10 but I don't find my mobile between supported devices... What do you suggest me?
Thank you!!!
Comparing ROMs is not allowed here in xda... sorry bro!

Really??? I don`t understand why. I just wanna know which rom is "supported" for my mobile. I see CM doesn`t. But another one?
I can't also find in this forum a rom list which I can read to choose the best for me.
Thanks.
first.. the solution to your problem is NOT THE ROM! its not a thing to play wid... remember there is a risk that u might end up with an unusable phone is the flashing fails... Try a clean data/cache/dalvik cache via cwm and then give it a try... if u are still under warranty then dont hesitate in going to authorised service centre... i would also suggest u to FREEZE all unwanted apps... ONLY APPS! not SYSTEM SERVICES!

Many thanks. I hadn't think about just a wipe and freeze unwanted apps. I cannot go to warranty because yesterday I dropped the phone, and SAT will say the issue is because of this....
I'll try it this evening.

What do you mean? CyanogenMod is available for Galaxy Mini 2? I could't find in its portal between supported devices.
Thanks.
