In this tutorial, you will have a hands-on journey of customizing and building Android right off the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). We will begin with introducing the concepts of ROM cooking for any Android compatible device, and we we will then walk-through the build system of the AOSP. You will learn what Android is made of, how to build a bullet speed Android emulator, and how to build a minimal, fully operational Android configuration that will run on the QEMU virtual machine using the following components: Vanilla Android KitKat, Vanilla Linux Kernel, and a working QEMU. You will step out of the classroom with the ability to follow the exact steps made in the tutorial to jump-start building your own Android system for any Virtual Machine - and with the tools and knowledge to build it for any custom device!
