Many people refer to Android versions by "codenames" rather than version numbers (e.g. Android "Gingerbread"). What are the names of the various versions of the Android OS, and how are these names ...
There is no Compatibility Program for older versions of Android, such as Android 1.5 (known in development as Cupcake). New devices intended to be Android compatible must ship with Android 1.6 or later. Notable points: The absolute minimum requirements for Android were originally a 200 MHz processor, 32 MB of RAM, and 32 MB of storage.

Is it possible (through a menu setting or an app or something) to emulate a previous version of Android OS? For example, my device is running ICS 4.0.4 and I want it just for a moment to try an app have it in GB 2.3.6 or GB 2.3.3 or even further?

One way to know that the OS is 64-bit is to check the RAM. 32-bit OSes have (see/utilise) a maximum of 4GB of RAM while 64-bit devices see more. Devices with more than 4GB of RAM will be using 64-bit Android. Limits are as followed: 32-bit: 2^32 = 2^2 * 2^30 = 4GB. A 32-bit OS will go 1 bits up to 4GB. 64-bit: 2^64 = 2^4 * 2^60 = 16EB.
"The obvious thing is that, yeah, the Android platform releases, they go by dessert names and by alphabetical order for the most part." "For the most part" because two versions of Android, 2.0 and 2.1, were both called Eclair. And because Google won't say what it called the first two versions of Android, which you can assume started with "A ...
