    Hello Sainath,

    I suggest you to use the official Android JB release for OMAP4: http://omapedia.org/wiki/4AJ.2.5P2_OMAP4_Jelly_Bean_Release_Notes

    #Q:  how Can know what files needs to be changed/edited.
    - You must change/create board file for your custom board. See following porting guide:

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-JB-PortingGuide


    #Q: Will their be any changes that needs to be done at framework level.

    - It is not needed. However if you want to implement some different or unsupported features for your custom board. You can try to change Framework.

    #Q: If I want to remove the unnecessary libraries from the android File-system, Is it do able if so how can I achieve it...?

    - I think that this wiki page will be useful for your case: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Android_Memory_Analysis

    #Q: what are manifest file, does each and every hardware on board requires it.
    - Tool Chain for building Kernel and Drivers

    The Kernel and Driver sources are built using the Android linux-x86 toolchain for ARM GNU/Linux version.

    This tool chain can be obtained when you pull the Android code based on the released manifest that will be given.

    repo init -u git://git.omapzoom.org/platform/omapmanifest.git -b 27.x -m RLS4AJ.2.5P2_JellyBean.xml

    Best regards,
