Android setup

I want to use Android for the system I have in order to use it as an embedded system that would launch a specific application (which runs in the Chrome browser). However, this will not use Android in the usual way, but rather hack it so that libraries like OpenCV and packages like Chromium can be installed on the Android Linux kernel. In addition, I also need to figure out a way to support the USB camera.

I did some research on this, but I'm not leaving anywhere. Will anyone recommend resources related to this issue, or suggestions on how to approach it? Your feedback will be highly appreciated.

Edit1: I'm not going to ask too broad a question. I just want more ideas on how you add libraries such as OpenCV on Android, and is there a way to install a Chrome browser.

Edit2: Android system is on the Snapdragon platform.

Both Chromium and OpenCV can be built on Linux, have you tried to compile them from a source on Android and failed? What error did you get? Here's a link to cross-compile Chrome processors for ARM:

First I used http://www.android-x86.org/ and looked to see if it works there before trying to run it on ARM so that you can work faster if it doesn't work.

You might want to spend some time with ROM hackers to get more information. Ideally, you want to find people who do something similar so that you can work with them. Take a look at:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/

http://forum.xda-developers.com/

Many of the things these guys do are not related to what you are looking for, but they fit much deeper into the OS than most programmers do. You might be lucky and you won’t have to change the source code of Android yourself, as thinksteep mentions.
