Thanks. I'll check those out. I suspect that if I try this, it will be a steep learning curve, but it may be worth it just for what I'd learn in the process, whether or not we'll get Android apps on a PW (or Oasis, or whatever).
Since I already have a couple of Android e-Ink devices (from Chinese companies), I don't need to do this to get Android on e-Ink. Still, when I compare my Boyue T63 to my Oasis - even though both have 300 dpi displays, apps like Instapaper would look even better on an Oasis or Voyage. I didn't know if I would like the Oasis, but having it, it makes my Boyue (which seemed light enough before) seem somehow bulky and last century. (And that's with the Oasis in its cover!).
So, if I go into it, it will be mainly for the learning experience - and, secondarily, perhaps a few bragging rights for whoever manages to pull this off.
One of my fantasies is that Amazon (or Barnes & Noble, or Kobo) might one day actually release an e-Ink device that would allow you to install some Android apps, perhaps from a curated store that would include only apps that work well on e-Ink. It's possible to install apps on the Nook Glowlight Plus with a little work (I've done it), but the results were not as good as I hoped. Such a device would be a niche product, but it would be very popular in some circles, at least.
