Could you build this?

No This is a custom phone operating system built on Arch Linux ARM with a Galaxy S9 device port, requiring kernel, driver, and bootloader work. Hardware-specific low-level systems expertise is needed.

What it would actually take: A real version needs a Linux kernel port for the Galaxy S9 SoC, device drivers for radio, display, and sensors, bootloader and partition work, and a custom UI shell. This requires embedded systems and mobile OS engineers with physical device access for testing.
