Android is not yet published as open source. So this git repository
must only contain the already open sourced parts (ie linux kernel
used,...)

Porting android should be possible, but only when its sources are
released (should be when first android phones are available)

andoid is designed to use only applications developed specially for it.
FSO is more opened allowing to use various linux apps. It brings a
framework to ease integration of these, but you are not oblliged to
develop specifically for it.
