how do i come to know which device is compatible to be overhauled with Android OS.
I wanted to know what is the basic hardware requirement.
thanks
Here you've got the requirements: http://source.android.com/compatibility/
You also can download the current CCD there to have a look into the requirements.

I am looking to check and see if an android device is GearVR compatibility for cross platform integrations, is there a way to check for this?
The current way I am doing this is by checking its model because of the limited devices compatible currently with the GearVR: Note 4/5, Samsung S6/S6edge/S6edge+.

I am trying to create Android mods and I have an old HTC Magic (Froyo). Is it possible to load 4.0 into this old device? If not, what hardware needs do I have to take into account?
Here is the official compatibility document which details all the must-have and the nice- to-have features for running ICS. A thorough study of this should help you find everything you need.

The one for Jelly Bean should someone come to this question looking for it is at http://static.googleusercontent.com/external_content/untrusted_dlcp/source.android.com/en/us/compatibility/4.1/android-4.1-cdd.pdf
I have a problem that I have to make an Android App which take a screenshot of Android device same as iPhone does. So, Is it possible to make such kind of Android App? If yes, then provide me some suggestions or example for doing the same.
Thanks in advance.
AFAIK, it's not possible unless the device is rooted.
EDIT
It's already available in ICS : Take screenshots in ICS (Android 4.0)
I am working on WIN CE platform and quite new on Linux and android. I want to port android in PXA270 device running with ARM 9 processor. I googled and found, first install linux kernal, modify it according to the target device, add device drivers and install android image. Thats good but it is difficult for a new person like me. As i read somewhere that android is developed by modifying actual linux kernel(adding low memory killer, android logger etc) then why we dont use that modified android directly on our device. Is that available to use? If yes then how?
please tell... thnkx.. :)
Check out the 0xdroid project, they followed more or less the same route you want to take but for another platform (OMAP), nevertheless you'll probably learn some things from them and their project.
Maybe I'm wrong, but what you want to do looks like a major undertaking to me...
Alternatively, you can try the old Android porting for PXA27x:

I am using Mark Murphy's DroidEx tool to project my android device screen; is there a way to supply a skin(e.g. a HTC Hero skin that we use with Android emulator) to DroidEx?
I have also asked this question on the google group for DroidEx project.
Thanks!
No, it is not possible, at least with the code as it stands. Support for the now-slumbering DroidEx is handled via the [cw-android] Google Group. People interested in a software projector for Android may wish to examine Droid#Screen instead.
I've used the android-projector utility on Windows.
The projected screen has some flickering problems, due to a very low refresh rate, but it's definitely usable.
