This site and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) repository offer the information and source code needed to create custom variants of the Android OS, port devices and accessories to the Android platform, and ensure devices meet the compatibility requirements that keep the Android ecosystem a healthy and stable environment for millions of users.

As an open source project, Android's goal is to avoid any central point of failure in which one industry player can restrict or control the innovations of any other player. To that end, Android is a full, production-quality operating system for consumer products, complete with customizable source code that can be ported to nearly any device and public documentation that is available to everyone (in English at source.android.com and in Simplified Chinese at source.android.google.cn).

Just as you can contribute code to AOSP, you can also contribute to AOSP documentation—and we want your input! Android's flexibility and ever-changing codebase means this site needs your feedback to keep content fresh, accurate, and relevant to Android implementors. We encourage you to check the changelog for details on recent AOSP updates and to report bugs or offer suggestions using the Site Feedback at the bottom of every page (or by visiting g.co/androidsourceissue). image_path: /images/android_stack.png - heading: News items: - heading: January Security Bulletins description: > The January 2019 Android and Pixel Bulletins have been published along with links to associated fixes and new build numbers to support the January security release. buttons: - label: January 7th, 2019 path: /security/bulletin/2019-01-01 - heading: Enabling Adiantum description: > New page for enabling Adiantum, an encryption method designed for devices running Android 9 and higher whose CPUs lack AES instructions. buttons: - label: December 21th, 2018 path: /security/encryption/adiantum - heading: Security Best Practices description: > New section containing security best practices for device manufacturers, including tips for system, app, network, hardware, and organizational and operational security. buttons: - label: December 18th, 2018 path: /security/best-practices - classname: devsite-landing-row-100 tf-row-centered items: - buttons: - classname: button button-primary label: More Updates path: /setup/site-updates
