Installing Stock Android on Google Pixel is easier than ever. In this example we're going to be using the official Android Flash Tool. Android is a touchscreen mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open source software, built primarily for smartphones and tablets. Google commercially sponsors Android, which is created by a group of developers known as the Open Handset Alliance. It was revealed in November 2007, and the HTC Dream, the first commercial Android smartphone, was released in September 2008.

It is free and open-source software, with the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) as its source code, which is mostly licensed under the Apache License. Most Android devices, however, come pre-installed with additional proprietary software, the most notable of which being Google Mobile Services (GMS), which comprises core programs like Google Chrome, the digital distribution platform Google Play, and the accompanying Google Play Services development platform.

Over 70% of Android devices run Google's ecosystem, with certain vendors providing their own user interfaces and software suites, such as Samsung's TouchWiz and subsequently One UI, and HTC's Sense. Amazon's Fire OS and LineageOS are two competing Android ecosystems and forks. The "Android" name and logo, on the other hand, are trademarks of Google, which has set criteria to prevent "uncertified" devices from using the Android branding outside of their ecosystem.

The source code has been used to create Android variations for a variety of other devices, including gaming consoles, digital cameras, portable media players, and personal computers, each with its own user interface. Android TV for televisions and Wear OS for wearables, both created by Google, are two well-known versions. On Android, software packages in the APK format are typically distributed through proprietary app stores such as Google Play Store, Amazon Appstore (including for Windows 11), Samsung Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, Cafe Bazaar, and GetJar, as well as open source platforms such as Aptoide or F-Droid.

Since 2011, Android has been the most popular smartphone and tablet operating system in the world. It has over three billion monthly active users as of May 2021, the largest installed base of any operating system, and the Google Play Store has over three million apps as of January 2021. The most recent version, Android 12, was launched on October 4, 2021.
