and how do I implement ARM on the Cyclone 2?

You need to buy a license from ARM costing some $ 100,000.

AFAIK only a small Cortex is available for implementation in an FPGA. I suppose same does not have an MMU. I suppose porting Android to a no-MMU system will be harder than porting it to NIOS with MMU.
