why not just use the existing code bases??

[develop...@gmail.com]

as a android developer although i have never compiled android itself (just apps) why not stick to the android x86 closely and simply do these things

custom launcher (one that stays in landscape mode) also remove any possability of a app forceing portrait just remove protrait totally its a android thing not a launcher if a app only has protrait mode or is locked launch compatibilty app via intent that displays portrait on lanscape via scaleing or sized to scale to maintain compatibility

keyboard shortcuts particularly on sys clipboard and edittext elements need some love

more power options for acpi hardware

usb otg optimize for connecting another android (like a pc)

intergrated swap file usage

a working ART runtime??? im on android x86 4.4 rc3 and have noticed it uses dalvik instead of ART and it crashes and hangs when i load ART can anyone confirm this

some other crap i cant think of......yet

also it would be sweet if we could compile android on android for android enabling android to be totally independent of other operating systems 

prob enable android to be compiled on a machine with much lower specs than currently needed main reason iv never compiled android im poor and have a shitty computer 

corrupt ram 1gb 

half dead hd 250gb 

dual core intel 3ghz 

intel hd graphics

A sizeable part of the build would be from Androidx86; especially the hardware (kernel/modules and firmware drivers).

The UI would be more than what could be achieved with a custom launcher I think, at least well, for that they have a customed SystemUI and I'm guessing framework - which is how the multiwindowed stuff works so well, I've tried the experimental multiwindow on AOSP 6.0 and CM13 and they're not so good.

Also rotation isn't turned of here, just disabled as I guess they are expecting most people to be running this on laptops/pcs that 1. won't rotate and 2. don't have accelerometers to detect rotation.

If you want rotaion there is a line in build.prop (ro.remixos.box=true) to change and a setting in experimental features (multi-tap Remix OS Version).
