Okay, just a thought. I was looking for a project which can route offline, and 
you seem to have implemented Dijkstra's (I might have opted for A* but that's 
easy to fix), nice.

Reading through your issues it seems you struggle with some rendering problems, 
conversion, map db etc.

There are at least 10 different OSM app under android. Some of them are used 
pretty widely, covering large areas (like osmand) without problem. These all 
are under GPLv3.

I asked myself whether it's really required that people reinvent the modules, 
recode renderer, storage, etc? For example why not use the problem parts from 
another working project, or why not contribute to them? What's the reason to 
fork a new one?

These questions are obviously could be answered on the wiki page. :-)
