I ported Enigma to the GP2X a while back. The hard part was two-fold: Most ARM processors have no hardware floating point unit. On the GP2X I used software floats and lowered the precision of every 'double' in the code to 'float' with no apparent ill effects. This was sufficient for all but the most physics-heavy levels, like some of the meditation levels.
Android devices can have very small screens, down to 240x320. On the GP2X I dealt with a 320x240 screen by ripping out a lot of the UI-placement math (that couldn't handle resolutions below 640x480), and creating a new smaller set of graphics for all of the UI elements and tiles. I believe that some (all?) of this work has been made irrelevant by code changes to Enigma in the last 2-3 years, but am unsure of the details there. And even if that is the case, it still won't fit easily (or at all, playably) on a portrait-mode 240x320 screen (of which 240x180 would be usable for the normal 4:3 display area for Enigma), so you might have to force landscape mode in some situations where the OS thinks it is inappropriate.
