Imagine it, not a repo, but a site or app that lets you “try out” custom roms through an embedded or emulated interface.

It’s such a hassle downloading and installing every rom out there to see how they feel and function, it would be nice to be able to take them out for test drives. I think this could be theoretically possible, several bluestack emulators for the most popular custom roms emulated as an instance of mostly just the lock and home screen with a few dummy apps, kind of like how things are set up in a phone shop.

Unfortunately I’m not quite skilled enough to set something like this up, and I’m sure the server hosting would be a bit of a financial burden but I think this is a cool, albeit, unlikely idea.

    I see, so this would be something that would be dependant on the rom developers or an interested third party to do the actual work of porting to x86.

    So essentially it would be a “if you build it, they will hopefully also build it” situation
