Android Open Source Project

The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is an initiative by Google that provides the core source code for the Android operating system, which powers smartphones, tablets, and other devices. It allows developers and device manufacturers to access, modify, and customize the software freely. AOSP forms the foundation for many Android-based systems, enabling innovation and diverse device options. While AOSP offers the basic system, manufacturers often add their own features, apps, and interfaces before releasing devices to consumers. Essentially, AOSP is the open blueprint behind the Android platforms used worldwide.
