AOSP customization
By Effie Barak
Writing your own Android apps is so cool, but what's even cooler than being cool? Using Android Studio to make your own entire Android-based Operating System, and it's not even hard!
In this talk we'll cover:
What is the Android Open-Source Project, how is it different than the Android that I have on my phone, and which parts are easy to customize vs which parts might be harder
How to setup and build AOSP, and get the image onto a real Pixel device or emulator
How you can get a working environment for AOSP similar to what you're used to for writing Android apps
How to add your own apps or even replace the default apps (even add a custom launcher!)
How to override the status bar / navigation bar UIs
Tools that AOSP uses under the hood to build and manage the source code, and how you can take advantage of them to create your own builds
How to get code from our your private repositories into AOSP
