About
This project introduces a systematic approach for re-hosting Android’s application layer from real-world device firmware into the Android emulator. The goal is to enable scalable and reproducible dynamic analysis of vendor-modified frameworks and pre-installed apps without relying on physical devices. Our methodology extracts application-layer components (framework binaries, APEX modules, libraries, and apps), generates AOSP-compatible build modules, and integrates them into vendor-flavoured emulator images.
