Custom Rom feature testing - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I have One Plus 3, I want to check about 10 roms.
I don't want to flash each rom on my device, is there any other way to see the exact rom features?
Screenshots are not good enough...
Can I install custom rom on some emulator?

The answer to all of your question is no. You cannot install a ROM to an emulator, and to see all the features you only need to try.
And one note, this is the wrong section to ask this, so before anyone rains you hatred for so, you may want to get this moved elsewhere

As already suggested, use multirom. You do have to download and flash on your device, but all roms are kept separate and you can test every feature directly.

I'm a bit afraid of multi rom - heard it's a bit dangerous (it can brick the phone).
Is anything shared between the roms (app data?)?

The roms have access to the contents of /sdcard. /system and /data are kept separate.
As for bricking, there is always the possibility. Fortunately, it's relatively easy to recover from both hard and soft bricks on the op3. Keep a backup of your important files just in case.
So far, any issues I've had on a rom have been specific to that rom - it's been convenient to be able to just boot into another working rom without a second thought.

Question about the custom roms.

Greetings people, i just wanted to ask u guys a question, can i use the custom roms in this part of the forum on my GT-N7105 ?
Yes, however the rom you choose will have to be altered some before you flash it.

How? Can u explain some more? Our custom roms are just a few in our section, but here it's alot.
bump
First off bumping your thread is not allowed except every 24 hours.
Secondly no you cannot use our roms on your phone. What the poster above you was trying to say is you will need to create a port for your phone.

flash proper kernel (no, I won't provide any links, you have to find it by yourself by using "search" tool... aokp is CM9 [ICS] or CM10 [JB]) and then flash aokp ROM

The best way to learn something is to read ROM's first posts
First posts of many roms don't give much information actually... You'll probably have to read many ''first posts'' to get a proper understanding. People on here are annoying about telling new people how to get started because they in all likelihood learned by themselves though searching and reading. Flashing a new rom is easy but there is a learning curve and you will need troubleshooting skills, so the more you read and know the better!

We are all learning by making mistakes You think why I know more than e.g. OP of this thread? Because I'm too impatient to wait until somebody will answer my questions! I was doing things by myself, bricking phones, restoring them back and gaining knowlegde! So not more experienced users are "bad" because they won't tell everything, NEW USERS ARE TO LAZY TO SEARCH, MAKING MISTAKES AND LEARN!!!

Don't worry!
Anyone coming to XDA forums for the first time, is "noob" and all the other names...
What IS important - you have "sticky" threads that will explain quite a lot. BUT, you'll have to read and read and read until you'll know what and where to ask... Well, we all learn until we die... :angel:
So, yes, read. Search and search and read again! Or, if you're in real trouble, send PM (you know what that is, right?)...
Regarding your question, well, you'll just have to look around and decide what you'll do with your hov :fingers-crossed:
But, to be on "friendly side",

I KNOW - a lot to read, but...
Oh, don't just pick a rom like pants or shirt, go through all of them, read and read all OPs until you're sure which one to put on your hov. And before you do that for the first time, learn how to do that again and again...

To make it short: every rom needs a kernel that it's likely not stock kernel. In every OP of rom it's written which kernel you have to use...

Rooting, themes and more..

Hi guys, I was looking at rooting my phone. However there are some issues I have with it that hopefully you guys can rectify.
How can I update?
What is the most popular rom?
Is it worth rooting?
My main reason for rooting is getting rid of the bloatware from samsung and optus on my phone. I also want to customize Nova launcher with icon themes but I can do that without a root. What other things can I do with my phone with a root?
Is rooting hard? And how do I backup my phone before I do it? Searching around on here I came across an app called Titanium Backup but you have to be rooted to backup with that?
There is so many more questions I want to ask, but I will leave it at this for now.
Thank you!
Can anyone please help me?

Bumping your topic after a couple of house inst going help. Could just end up getting topic closed/deleted. This is not your phones tech support desk and nobody here owes you an answer so when you create a topic be patient. Also not putting "help me please" as topic title would help, just be precise and descriptive about what topic is about.
To answer questions..
1. You flash rom through custom recovery.
2. There is no such thing as a "best" rom and asking this question is against rules.
3. Yes.
I would highly recommend you do some reading/research.

1) I can do this through Odin correct?
2) Ok, what is the most popular rom?
3) Ok.
Should I change my kernel to a different one than stock? My friends said it helps performance and battery life, but I don't know how stable they are. Could someone suggest a good one?
Last time I rooted my old phone I did a bad job of it, I lost all my stuff and I don't want it to happen this time.
If I buy Titanium Backup could this prevent this? I want to be able to update the ROM how can I do this, and what rom would you suggest in this case?
Thank you.

I already answered this earlier, please try and read.
Some ROM's like Cyanogenmod for example have inbuilt rom downloaders which will enable you to download next version and then flash it automatically.
However process is same, simply download new rom, reboot into rescue and then flash next version. No wipe is needed if its same base/version. You only need to wipe if going to new rom/base etc. Wipe will only wipe data partition on internal, your external is untouched.

Managed to root my stock rom.
If anyone is interested in doing this see the sticky in the n7105 thread the guy shows you how to install a custom recovery and install supersu 2.0 through that.
It is also great to try different roms, you can backup and install multiple roms to your liking.

For 4.2 ROMs use Philz Touch 5.15.9, for 4.4 ROMs use latest Philz Touch 6.* or latest CWM or TWRP 2.7.1.0.
And which is best? Try all and make your own decision. Like 99% members here Grab attached fastboot files.

What? Are you read the OP? He ask wich custom rom to install not how to flash recovery or ROM. And if you read the rules you will see comparison in XDA is forbidden
Or you could just tell him your best rom in your opinion...

I wanted to share this nice tool from a local thread which gives someone the impression that the software is obsolet, but I find it quite useful and very practical as well.

You don't have to apologize for wanting to get answersed a simple question.
I am not the dev, so I can't much say about the technichal aspects.
It is combined with aroma; you select manually what you want to be removed.
You can select every single app and some vendor stuff.
Just be careful not to delete anything essential.

It is compatible for NOTE 5 AI GlobaL? rooted already?
