As far as I know, it's purely custom. However, it really doesn't look all that complicated. You just need to build a TableView, and add action handlers to the rows that would call your onOptionsItemSelected method (or go for individual handlers; you're not bound by the existing menu API). The background would just be a 9-patch drawable. The menu itself would just be added as a child (or already there and made visible) of the layer that includes the More button.
Experimentation shows that tapping on things that are not hidden by the menu still have their current action, but do dismiss the dialog. A TouchDelegate on the menu layer can handle that task, and then return false. It doesn't seem to have any trackball behavior at all, so there's room to improve it.
