Android-Generic Project - Android for PCs & GSI devices
What is Android-Generic Project?:
Android-Generic is a collection of scripts, manifests & patches that allow for rapid prototyping of Android projects based off AOSP to produce generic images for Android GSI or Linux PC hardware.
For a more in-depth description of the goals and progressions leading up to this project, please read

Vision:
To fill you all in on the grand scheme of things with Android-Generic, the plan come in stages.
* Stage 1 is laying the groundwork for all ROMs to build both PC and GSI builds by supplying them with a standard set of minimal patches. Thanks to Android-x86 & PHH-Treble, thats done. now we collect them and make them easy to apply for everyome. DONE
* Stage 2 is collecting variations of the conflicts those standard patches could potentially have and simplifying the process as we go. This is where all the Android ROMs come in STARTED
* Stage 3 is to use the variations of conflict resolutions from each ROM folder to further automate the process and have vendor patches be automatically figured out by trying each resolution until one sticks. STARTED
* Stage 4 is to continue to automate elements of the process until things are almost too easy STARTED
