Android-based products often require more than application development. Bringing Android to custom hardware—or keeping existing systems usable— involves working across the full stack: boot process, kernel, hardware abstraction, system services, and build infrastructure.

Where this matters

Typical environments include set-top boxes, kiosks, industrial devices, and customized consumer hardware. These systems often run unattended, require predictable behavior, and need to remain maintainable over extended lifecycles.

Typical systems we work on

Platform adaptation
  • Porting AOSP to custom SoCs and boards
  • Supporting phones, tablets, set-top boxes, and kiosks
  • Adapting Android to non-standard hardware environments
System maintenance
  • Maintaining and extending legacy Android builds
  • Fixing system-level bugs and stability issues
  • Performance analysis and optimization
Hardware integration
  • Sensors, displays, remote control, IR, HDMI
  • Multimedia stack integration and tuning
  • Device-specific feature enablement
Boot and update systems
  • Custom bootloaders and recovery environments
  • OTA update strategies and reliability improvements
  • Controlled system upgrade paths
System-level development
  • System apps and low-level services
  • Build system work (Android.mk, Soong)
  • Diagnostics and developer tools for field support
Android systems in production environments must handle imperfect conditions—hardware quirks, unstable inputs, and long lifecycles. Stability comes from understanding and controlling the full system.

What this means in practice

The result is not just a working Android build, but a system that behaves consistently across updates, hardware variations, and real-world usage. This includes predictable boot behavior, stable multimedia performance, and reliable update mechanisms.

Whether bringing up new hardware or maintaining existing deployments, the goal is to reduce uncertainty and ensure the system remains usable and maintainable over time.
