Customization Ideas:
One thing that I think we don't have support for is custom APs. So as an AT&T customer I autologin to their Wifi network.
customizing the launcher is common on android
system update settings might be worth overriding too
update frequency, automatic updates, update server etc.
need to look into oem/carrier updating only custom bits
Followups:
The proper name for the build artifacts that Savvy will produce is a "remix". See:
http://
There are some corner cases about pre-installed click packages, but they seem harmless enough for now.
