I want to test custom ROMs before installing them on a phone, but all i have found is this outdated guide being copy-pasted everywhere:
https://paperknots.wordpress.com/20...sdk-emulator-before-installing-to-your-phone/
Current Android SDK doesn't work like that and neither seem to do older SDK versions, making this guide useless.
Is there a way i can test custom ROMs on a PC android emulator before actually doing it on a phone?
Bump~

I was going through the xdadevelopers forums when I saw that the process of installing ROMs seems of be device dependent. Can someone please explain me why it is so?
More specifically, shouldn't the process of installing a pure Android ROM (AOSP) be the same on every device since all of them are based on the ARM architecture.
I haven't installed an android ROM before, but I am trying to understand why the process isn't similar to installing a Linux based OS on my computer.
I recently bought an Android tablet (HCL ME X1) to experiment with ROMs but later realized that there aren't ROMs for this device. Can someone let me if I can use the ROMs of any other device for this?
Because all different models have different hardware so the rom has to be specific to that device.

Thanks for the reply stylez.
So I guess if I want to develop a custom ROM (say an AOSP ROM) I will need the device drivers which my vendor wrote.
Is there any way of identifying the vendor specific drivers of my device? I am using an HCL ME X1.
I guess it is possible to test custom roms on emulator. But is it possible to test every custom rom on emulator ? please help me with this because i want to modify ROMs and test it on the PC first before flashing because I m not very good at ROM mods atm. Please tell me if there is some other way also to test custom roms on PC.

A guy working in my corporation has the job to develop our android apps.
Sometimes when i returned with fresh coffe to my desk i recognized him developing.
He used a software wich might be exactly that what u are searching.
It was a android phone interface shown on his computer where he could test the apps...
This might help u out

We can install custom roms of android to unlock certain features, install custom recoveries, custom anything at the cost of product support linked to the manufacture of said phone, but im a bit curious of android x86 and what modding capabilities we have with it. Can we modify it like we have to do to get something like LineageOS running on an android phone, or is something like that only possible by compiling the android OS image and modifying that to be LineageOS or whatever custom rom instead?
Hi,
I am trying to make an Android Custom ROM for work purpose. I have been able to compile the AOSP Source files into a series of .img files, but I'm a little stumped on actually transferring my AOSP Build on a device. Currently, I am trying to test on an emulator within Android Studio.
Are there any useful guides out there that show clearly how to go abouts putting the image on the emulator to test it?
Thank you, any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm quite new to the phone tweaking world and many things still seem blurry.
I saw there is a thread for rooting the aforementioned device with android 10. Wanted to ask if the method is the same for devices with android 11? Mine is running android 11 with the latest patches.
If I decide to play with it can I follow the guide posted in https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...lash-official-firmware-13-march-2020.4029833/ ? Does the currently installed version of android require different method for rooting the device?
Thanks in advance.
