Building your own custom Android OS with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

On Thursday night I had the opportunity to go to the Stl Mobile Dev user group meeting. The group is hosted by co-worker Heath Borders (see Heath Tech in my blogroll).

Andrew Prunicki was the guest speaker and he spent two hours explaining topics from how to get and build the source to customizing the image that is displayed while the phone is booting. I was simply amazed at how easy it appeared to be to work with the Android OS. The discussion really made me long for owning an Android device, just so I could build my own OS at home. For now I’ll have to live vicariously through the emulator.
