About the Android Open Source Project
Android is an open source software stack for a wide range of mobile
devices and a corresponding open source project led by Google. This
site and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository offer the
information and source code you need to create custom variants of the
Android stack, port devices and accessories to the Android platform,
and ensure your devices meet compatibility requirements.
We also wanted to make sure there was no central point of failure,
where one industry player could restrict or control the innovations of
any other. The result is a full, production-quality operating system
for consumer products with source code open for customization and
porting.
