As promised more updates (albeit I haven't done any work today). @Snirpo had some really god progress on Linux so much so that it makes the idea of custom building Android for this boards almost totally pointless. I'll have a chat with him on how see things, but since running this app on Linux will be preferred over Android (way less overhead and much lighter OS) I might stop in building a custom Android ROM and focus more on improving the current app. Don't get me wrong the board and kickstarter idea is going ahead, but as it looks now it makes much more sense to stick with the Linux build over Android.
I'll keep you all posted.
