    1. Download the android source code.

    http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

    http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html

    1. Make your changes to the android framework code

      • Modify existing classes
      • Add new classes.
        etc

    2. In the downloaded source directory, please find:
      /devlopement/docs/howto_build_SDK.txt. It should be something like this.

    3. 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
