<h1 itemprop="name" style="margin-bottom:0;">Welcome to the Android Open Source Project!</h1>
<p>
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 offers 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.

<p>Carriers now have a mechanism to grant special privileges for APIs
relevant to the <strong><a

secure and flexible way to manage apps from the Mobile Network Operator
(MNO).</p>
