Cornerstone is an extension to the Android Framework, created by Onskreen, enabling true multi-tasking on Android based devices.
As Android exploded and it grew to be used on tablets, the user experience did not evolve to support the richness of the larger screen devices. By default, the user experience designed for 3" devices were simply blown up to fit on 7 and 10 inch screens. This didn't take advantage of the larger screen size in any meaningful way, there was just so much more these devices could do.
We created Cornerstone so that Android would truly be optimized for these larger screens and users could multi-task the way they have become used to. Cornerstone was open sourced in Feb 2012.
Onskreen provides software solutions to power exceptional Mobile User Experiences. We work with Mobile Operators and Device Manufacturers to differentiate and customize their Android devices. By open sourcing Cornerstone we hope to enable not only individual enthusiasts to get the most out of their devices, but also companies releasing devices based on Android. Check out the Cornerstone Service and Support Package for organizations using Cornerstone.
Before you get started, please be aware that Cornerstone is an extension to the Android OS and requires that it be flashed onto your device. Onskreen does not accept any responsibility for the results of flashing your device, and we do not warranty any of the software via the open source project.
Check out the Cornerstone User Guide to get started with Cornerstone on your device.
Check out the Cornerstone Dev Guide to get started digging into the Cornerstone source code. This is also the place to start if you want to create a ROM for a specific Android device that you would like to see Cornerstone running on.
