Once you finish the development and customization of your Android system, it is time to release your images. For that you need to follow these steps:
-
Build your custom distribution.
The first step is the generation of target_file zip to be used in later stage of release.
-
After the first step, the generated files are signed with test-keys publicly known. You should create your own private keys and use them to replace the test-keys.
-
Once you have your target_files zip already signed, you can:
-
Generate release custom images.
Generate the final release images with the artifacts signed with your private keys. You can program these release images from U-Boot or using fastboot.
-
Create signed OTA packages to update already deployed devices. To do so, follow the instructions at Update Android with OTA packages.
