Popis: This study report is aimed at identifying opportunities and challenges in developing a completely free and opensource mobile operating system based on AOSP. In this report, I describe the installation of LineageOS on a OnePlus One mobiledevice. I first describe the installation of a pre-built LineageOS image to the device, andthen I explain how i compiled the available source to build my own LineageOS image forthe device. Source compilation provides a more complete understanding of device-level OSbuilds. I also discuss various alternatives to Google Mobile Services. All the available alternative services are in the development stage. A promising approach is the reverse engineering mi-croG project, which is a free and open source re-implementation of Google Mobile Services. Such alternatives to Google’s services, meaning client-side free and open source applications and libraries, provide an excellent base upon which can build completely free and opensource background services as well as applications on mobile devices.
