Example for generating a Runtime Resource Overlay apk

• Set your Android root: Change ANDROID_ROOT_DIR to where you have your AOSP build directory that contains all the tools from android.googlesource.com
• Set keys: We will use Sony’s open devices keys here, but you can use the default AOSP keys named platform.* in build/target/product/security/
• Change some values in res
• Change overlay name in manifest and script
• Run create-apk.sh

Requirements

• android-sdk-build-tools need to be in PATH
• Either use Android Studio for compiling, or:
  • Download Build tools version 28, unzip to somewhere
  • Download latest android.jar
