Just noting, using Nix it is possible to build an actual real deal Android image using Robotnix:

This is different from a non-Android Linux on Mobile devices, which is what Mobile NixOS aims to achieve :).

If you still want to do your own builds, I'd recommend looking at Robotnix (https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix). While it doesn't out of the box build on AWS like this, it's a way more sane build process and it would be easy enough to execute a build on any cloud provider.

There are some tools already which support automated builds such as https://github.com/dan-v/rattlesnakeos-stack and https://github.com/danielfullmer/robotnix - however they'll need work to support both CalyxOS and also Android Auto.

We're using Nix packages at Precision Nutrition to manage our dev environments: https://github.com/PrecisionNutrition/pndev/. It's been enormously successful. I highly recommend it.
