AOSP (Android 16)
for Raspberry Pi 4
June 17, 2025

Here’s my build of AOSP (Android 16) for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, Pi 400, and Compute Module 4. It’s for advanced users only. Pi 4 model with at least 2GB of RAM is required to run this build.

Important! Raspberry Pi hardware specific implementation in this build is based on source code released on my Raspberry Vanilla project but this build offers various additional features and enhancements.
