Welcome!

Cornerstone is an extension to the Android Framework created by Onskreen enabling true multi-tasking on Android based devices.

Story behind Cornerstone

As Android exploded and it grew to be used on non-phone form factors, the experience did not evolve to support the richness of the larger screen devices. By default, the user experience designed for 3" devices was simply blown up to fit on 7 and 10 inch screens. This didn't take advantage of the larger screen size in any meaningful way. We created Cornerstone so that Android would truly be optimized for these larger screens and users could multi-task the way they have become used to. Cornerstone was open sourced in Jan 2012.
