How to test any custom rom before flashing - General Questions and Answers

Hello Friends,
I want to know that Is there any way to test custom roms before flashing.
Is there any way to test Custom Rom on Windows?
Please help me ..

No you can't test a custom rom for a specific device on your computer. No way to do this unless you find a working emulator for that but I am sure that you can't.
If you just want to test the functionality of the ROM itself, you could maybe find a x86 image which you can install on your computer.
The best practice for testing a custom rom is making a full nandroid backup and just flash the ROM. Then you can just revert back to the ROM you were before you flashed the new one.

Thanx for your reply friend.
Are there specific emulators for every devices or smartphone brands?

As far as I know not, you have to do that on a real device, but if you want to emulate AOSP android, you can try out GenyMotion, BlueStacks or Andy.
Anyways, I really recommend you to backup using your recovery and just flash the rom you want to test.

what's a cooked rom?
try to explain what kernel you want to install
You've probaly got your answer by now especially if you Googled your question (wonderful search engine Google) without the information being given you at a guess are working with android and theres a great Wiki tutorial here part of which explains the kernel process as well any other unknown you'll have working (if you are) with Android.
Hope this helps a little beside the suggestion of using Google

If you're playing with Android read this Wiki it really got me through Android as well it has others, but ya gotta READ!!

thanks for that great help
If there are English recoveries out there, just flash one over your existing one. I think that's the best advice you'll get without us knowing what device you have.

htc one x clone
android version 4.1.9
baseband 4.0
kernel 1.28.708.10
build 4.12
custom build htcextention-403-1-ga-7
thanks for a decent reply and i hope this will help you to help me
many thanks
Ah. If it's a clone, that's gonna be harder, as there's no way to know beforehand that a certain custom recovery .img will work. I think you have 3 choices:
Find out from someone else who has your same device
Try flashing a custom recovery designed for another device (such as the real HTC One X)
Stay with what you've got
If you choose #2, the changes could be irrecoverable. That's just part of the deal when you buy a clone, unfortunately.

Why do you want to root your phone, if you want to change your rom?
You just need a Custom Recovery (e.g. TWRP) in which you can flash your favorite ROM.
Here is a beginners guide, which i found in this section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471
Step 2 & 5 are, what you are intrested about.
Just read carefully and follow the instructions and there will be no problems.
Good Luck

Digiland DL1036 root method?

Good day all!
I was looking for a budget tablet to replace my Amazon Fire 7, and stumbled across the Digiland DL1036. I'm very pleased with the quality for the price. It's fast, clean, and has a great and responsive screen. Anyways...
I did manage to unlock the bootloader. Now I am looking for a successful root method that way I can install a custom ROM should one become available. I am ADB capable, so if someone has been successful with rooting this tablet, I'd love to know your process so I can complete the root. I thought about trying Magisk but I'd rather not use a spoof. Thanks!
To flash a Custom ROM it's NOT required tablet's Android gets rooted before. All what is needed is a suitable Custom Recovery like TWRP.
