Could you build this?

No A custom smartphone OS requires deep Android platform engineering, device driver and hardware support, and carrier/OEM partnerships. Vibe coding cannot substitute for that systems expertise.

What it would actually take: Building a real version means forking and maintaining AOSP, porting it to specific device hardware (kernel, drivers, bootloader, camera, radio), and building a signed update and security pipeline. It requires experienced Android platform and kernel engineers, a supported device set, and ongoing security patching, usually backed by a sizable team and funding.
