Uhmmm...no. Developing an operating system like Android requires hundreds if not thousands of engineers and hundreds of millions of dollars a year. I don't see a couple of smelly haggards in a basement attaining the same level of quality and depth anytime soon.

I mean, it took Linux more than 30 years to come somewhat close to the desktop experience Windows has been given us.

Any mobile operating system would need, in addition, something extra to compete with iOS and Android. Like a real-time microkernel operating system to enhance security.
