I would reckon that by this point, ART compatibility would be another. Now that Android 5.0 Lollipop is out, and it's no longer using the Dalvik runtime, no one on a Lollipop-based device would appreciate an app that crashes immediately upon launch, as RaaA currently does when using ART.

that's why I made Android auto fit (auto-scale) patch http://gerrit.rockbox.org/r/#/c/838/ in the first place.
And its the only reasonable attempt since Rockbox UI is a fixed size pixel-based frame buffer.
Another choice will needs to rewrite the skin engine and the menu completely in JAVA. and hook them up using NDK.
never good idea for anyone whom perform skin engine rewrite in this stage. Its like porting ffmpeg yourself to android and start create the whole ui around it for android.
on top of that need to hack the Rockbox crazily to make it run like a library that takes command arguments.

but guess what? no one is interest in this task including me.
