Android Training Courses
Android™ is a software platform for mobile devices. It's powered by a Linux kernel. Android was initially developed by Google and later by the Open Handset Alliance.
Marakana was the first company in the world to provide commercial Android training classes. We have since trained developers of some of the major phone manufacturers. Marakana continues to evolve its Android training program as Android platform gets more and more momentum.

Customizing Android OS Training Course
One of the long-term advantages of Android over any other mobile platform is that it is open source. What that means for you is that you can rehash it into a new product, a new ROM. That new operating system may not even look like the Android that was intended for mobile phones.
The problem with Android customization is that at this point it is mostly black magic - almost no documentation exists and your only way of figuring things out is reading the source code, many gigabytes of it.
In this course we’ll explore how to go about customizing Android, and what some of the philosophy behind the organization of the code and the build system is. You will learn how to go about customizing Android by adding custom apps, libraries, daemons, binaries, and other code and resources that go into the operating system. You will also learn about the startup process for a typical Android device and a bit about its security model as it relates to Linux.
