Android OS - AMOLED Display Code Development Environment - android

I am trying to understand the OS code for AMOLED Displays in Andriod. I wanted to know if I can make changes to Android OS code for the display from a given code base, build the OS and test it on any device ? Just want to play around with the code and test it...
If yes, which type of device I need to buy ? Like locked/unlocked and where can I buy them ? Are there any tutorial or links which can help me get started with this ?
I have some experience with Display code development on other platforms but, not on Android.
Any tips and tricks will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Please let me know if any part of the question is vague and needs elaboration.

Problems sending a Hello world from watch to the parent app

First of all, sorry if my English is not perfect.
On the matter. In the last 2 days I've been trying to send a simple "Hello World" from my wearable with wear os to my parent phone app. It seems easy but I'm having problems, and all the information I find on the web is deprecated.
I know I'm being very vague but the truth is I don't have much to work with. I need the example to try to advance more on my proyect, and the android developer info isn't helping me.

Hot to get data from wearable

I don't know how to get those data from smartwatch to my android smartphone. Anyone ever develop apps like this? please help me or you can tell me the reference for me to develop this apps. Please help, Thank you
Take reference of the application SensorDashboard.
I found it very useful to understand and implement sensor related operations on smart-watch and get it on phone ultimately.
Did you try this Sony Smartwatch link or the link for developing apps for Android Wearables? If you're really in Indonesia as your profile says you could look here too.

screen capture of other running apps (android)

My aim is to build a screen sharing (or remote viewing) application for android just like there is VNC for desktop. For this purpose i need to take screenshots and then relay them over the network to the target. I browsed through the solutions offered on a post on stack overflow.
Having a slight knowledge of android (i am a beginner), I noticed that all the answers used the View object to get the screenshot. Now, if im not wrong, this means that they are taking a screenshot of their own app and not other running apps. And to take a screenshot of other running apps I would have to run as a background service which does not have access to the View object.
I found another link but it was not useful. So I want to know if it is possible to take a screenshot of other apps in android. Im beginning to think that it is not. Maybe it would be a security risk? Please correct me if im wrong. Im just a beginner at this. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.

ubermusic pivot control on android?

I was wondering if anyone is able to tell me how they were able to make the windows UI in the apps UberMusic? I know it's exactly like the windows phone 7 interface and I was wanted to implement that .. anyone know where i could get a tutorial or some source code to look at?
Their re-creating the controls that Silverlight has accessible to the android phone, or using a web based HTML 5.0.
I'm going to go with web based HTML 5.0 as it would be easiest and also cross platformed at a time.
Hope that helps! :)
