Is the source for the app runtime available anywhere?

I've done a bunch of hacking on the Android framework to do things like multitasking before, so I'm really curious to see how they "put Android in a box".

I think this is it, or at least part: https://chromium.googlesource.com/arc/arc

I'm curious about the same thing. For example, did they stub out the user-space part of the binder? Presumably things like the media player run in the same address space as the application, rather than as separate service processes. I hope they managed this without forking Android.
