We can have Android app support in a different way on touch. We change the framework of android to native, hopely this would make performance even better than the real android.
This pretty much just tells me you don't know anything about how Android apps work.
Android apps are written for the Dalvik virtual machine. There is no--and cannot be any--"native" framework. And as was laid out expertly on this list (unfortunately I couldn't find the email), the only way to make this happen would be to completely reimplement the entire Android SDK and try to map it to the Ubuntu Touch SDK. And then there are certain feature that Ubuntu may not want. And then we not only have to maintain these APIs for compatibility purposes, but also track and implement any updates to the Android SDK.
While running Android apps with some sort of compatibility layer certainly isn't impossible, it's understandably not a goal of the drive to create Ubuntu Touch currently underway.
