i see a better option... having some form of ggc as a dalvik substitute to provide more deep optimization

Yeah. The technical term is "dynamic recompiler" (dynarec for short) because it's compiling from one machine code architecture to another using information gathered at runtime to rebuild the "intended purpose" information that was thrown out when the machine code was originally created from a higher-level language by the game's developer.
