This is for Help with Scripts, not QaS. I'll request that it be moved.
About your question, how experienced are you with coding? Depending on how you want to make your OS, you should know how to manipulate clones (or pen, if it's pen based), use lists, use variables, etc.

Expect alot of nerdy talk here real quick.
Depends on how modifiable it could be, such as a nonrealistic kernel, and other stuff such as DOS/CMD being thrown into the mix.
You do need quite abit of knowledge though.

Now that you mention kernels… Expect alot of nerdy talk here real quick.

PixelBuzz's OpenKernel 1.0
I haven't used it but it looks cool and abstracts much of the process.
Edit: Yeah it's pretty complicated, let me try to figure out how it works (unfortunately there isn't a documentation)

I actually got the forum wrong, also I'm kind of good but do not know how to use pen stuff or lists.

Hmm…I suggest learning lists and clones, and once you have a good grasp of them you can make an OS. I actually got the forum wrong, also I'm kind of good but do not know how to use pen stuff or lists.

You can make a simple os by making sprites and a little bit of code
my first project only uses sprites and simple code

Can you explain more what you mean by “Android-based”? An OS that looks like some version of Android?

I believe they are referring to a Scratch Project, an attempt at trying to recreate it probably — Considering they mentioned some Scratchblocks code for ‘logging into’ an account of it.
People do it often.

I'm pretty sure “Android-based” means basing it off AOSP (Android Open Source Project).

Not only is there not yet a method to convert a Scratch project into an apk. But an apk is an android app, not an operating system. You could make a os in scratch and make it a apk
