Custom Android Build for Pixel 8a
Budget: $350 – $600 USD
I need a custom Android build for Pixel 8a (akita) where the only cameras exposed to apps are an external UVC camera connected via USB OTG.
Requirements:
External camera exposed as:
Camera 0 = BACK
Camera 1 = FRONT
No internal/physical cameras exposed to CameraService / Camera2 API
Stock Camera app must open the external camera
No fallback to internal sensors
Technical notes:
Device has already been updated to Android 16
Anti-rollback is active → no firmware downgrade allowed
Build must be compatible with current bootloader/vendor
Target OS: Android 15 or 16 (AOSP / LineageOS / crDroid acceptable)
Deliverables:
Flashable build (ZIP or images)
Source patch / diff (mandatory)
Short technical explanation of changes
Verification:
dumpsys media.camera shows only 2 cameras (0/1)
No legacy/internal camera provider selected
External camera works in Camera app
Questions for bidders
Have you modified CameraService / camera provider selection before?
Can you hide internal cameras at framework level (Camera2)?
Can you provide source patches, not only a build?
