hi all
We are planning to launch a car android device with pure android custom rom. Does android licensing rules apply to custom roms? Is Android compatibility test required? I don't intend to use android or google logo anywhere in the product. I understand that to use Google play Service, separate license is required. Anyone with any idea please throw some light.

I think that we need to establish a new forum for this. HTC and Google as partners in opening hand sets which we are all trying to do?
I know that I want a community to obtain and work on this new OS and help develop it and pioneer uses for it. Can we get a new forum started?
Also, call it wishful thinking, but I have a bunch of HTC devices and I would love to be able to install this new OS on one of them..
This was their response to my questions related to the Viewsonic G-Tablet:

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. After further research, according to our records, the device that you are using is not supported for use with Android Market at this time.
The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Android Market is an application created by Google that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install Android Market on their devices.
For more information about the Android Compatibility Program, please visit source.android.com/compatibility/index.html
If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of your device directly.
If I can assist you further, please let me know.
Regards,
Jenna
The Android Market Team
What did you ask and did you really expect support on an unsupported device?
Sorta like taking a netbook with snow leopard to the genius bar and asking for help with iTunes.

Wow.. you found this site, you found this forum, and you missed the million different posts for Market Fix, Full Android Market, etc...
You need to do some work to get the market working on the GTab. Out of the box it's not supported. It's likely never going to be officially supported unless by some miracle we get a honeycomb update from Viewsonic.
In the meantime, it is pretty easy to get access. Just don't ask Google for help doing it.
And, there's always the Amazon market, which works just swell...

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and have joined as I've started working on a private/commercial version of AOSP. I've worked in mobile apps natively and more recently using React Native for the last 5 years and am enjoying hacking and playing around the source.
The main usage for build of AOSP is for a bespoke vehicle tracking device with a few additional features. So far I've managed to build AOSP, flash onto a device, and most recently set the tracking app as the home app so that it boots on launch.
The question that I can't find a solid answer to online is does anyone the best way of going about modifying AOSP so that we can deploy an OTA zip update and have the OS download and update it?
I'm not sure if this is necessarily the best way/use of time. I'm guessing it might be easier to just update the app itself internally and not develop OTA updates for the OS? I think at this stage I'm just after opinions before I spend too much time getting stuck into it. My only concern would be that we have 100+ devices out there and no ability to update the OS... although if it's a basic build of AOSP that just removes a few pre-installed apps, has a custom bootlogo and replaces the home app, maybe that's not necessary?
Any advice at this early stage would be gratefully received! Additionally, any tips for development or something a noob would benefit from would be great.
Thanks,
Joel
I was wondering if you guys know, once the TV is being rooted, is there anyway to install android on it.
I work as ASP.NET developer if you guys have any ideas or something, I'd like to participate in the developing either rooting or android os.
Currently I see only limited apps on the LG Store and would like to expand the features and apps on that tv.
