+## What is GloDroid
+
+GloDroid is a project that adapts Android Open-Source Project
+to support Orange Pi platform in a way that is:
+- Open and free as much as it's possible;
+- Up-to-date version of Android;
+- Close to mainline Android as much as it's possible;
+- Provided with necessary libraries and software so user/customer
+could have up and running latest Android OS with no efforts.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Before starting this project we've spent some time looking for a platform
+that would satisfy our own needs:
+- **Cheap**;
+- Has Android support;
+- Android is of up-to-date version;
+- It is open as much as it's possible.
+
+After a search we were disappointed, since there were several choises
+but all of them was far from our desires.
+Hikey has relatively modern Android, but it has a lot of closed components
+and is a relatively expensive platform,
+at least not something that student or enthusiast could afford.
+On top of it, Android build process was complicated with need of extra steps,
+such as downloading/deploying prebuilt binaries and prebuilding Linux kernel.
+
+Orange Pi had long forgotten Android version and closed graphic drivers
+that haven't been updated since 2018
+and made some suspicios socket and sha256 encrypting calls inside.
+On the other hand it was one of the cheapest platforms available
+and had some potential for Android.
+Also, we were lucky, since its community has reverse-engineered its graphics stack
+and made open-source implementation of graphic drivers
+which is currently supported and actively developing.
+Therefore we've decided that we could start this project in order to satisfy our own needs
+and to help Android community in general by making cheap, easy-to-start platform.
+
+## Goals
+
+The goals of this project are:
+- Provide a cheap platform with up-to-date Android for easier prototyping, learning and researching.
+- Make it easy to start, reduce steps to build and deploy Android on your board
+as much as possible. No need to build kernel separately, download external binaries
+and fiddle with putting them in a correct place, etc.
+- Upstream everything we could upstream in order to help community.
