I think he is trying to ask how to provide a custom android sdk. E.g. "android-4.0-sneha-added" — Calvin, Mar 16 '12 at 05:06

Make your changes to the android framework code
- Modify existing classes
- Add new classes. etc
In the downloaded source directory, please find: /devlopement/docs/howto_build_SDK.txt. It should be something like this.
Follow the steps to build your own sdk. To build an SDK for MacOS and Linux, these are the steps:
```
$ cd ~/my-android-git
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch sdk-eng
$ make sdk
```
