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.

    Total noob here but wouldn’t it be possible to have an ARM device stream the content to your browser? So you got a viewport of a compatible device that shows you how it would look like?

    True parity would be impossible without porting it to x86, but that would give you a glimpse if the UX is decent enough
