Hi Adam, As for tinc on linux, you'll need a TUN/TAP device on android as well (my app is just a basic GUI over the standard tinc daemon). I'm not sure it's available on every ROM. I use CM9/10 on a SGS2, and the driver is included in the kernel. Same, you can disable root usage in the application (in the settings), but it's probably needed to access the TUN/TAP device anyway...
The GUI is minimalistic, and is mainly used to deploy the tincd binary and launch/monitor it easily. For the configuration, the easiest solution is to build it from a PC and copy it to your phone's SD card. This might not be easy enough for the average android user, however I guess tinc's user are more in the geek category :) Anyway, any feedback is welcome to help me improving it.
