Yeah, that's why I asked because I don't know that Android looks like really, guess I'll Google it

There is a live version of android you can test on the desktop. Just run it in a virtual machine software. It's kind of hard to use on the desktop, but gives some idea: http://code.google.com/p/live-android/downloads/list

I am mainly interested in android because of the Webkit based browser. The only Webkit browser for WM is IrisBrowser, but they stopped development.

Well, they stopped for WM at least. Iris got bought by RIM to finally develop a browser for BlackBerry that's actually useful.

2 things to try
1) make sure everything is on the root of your sd card (some builds are okay with stuff in an Adroid folder some are not)
2) make sure your startup.txt references the correct device type- I believe it should be 2292- look around for some rhodium (TP2) specific startup files

If you had android on the tp2 could you have android apps? That would be the only reason i would have android.

As I said above, it's a plain Android build. AOSP
