    the performance depends on the device, there is a lot of devices with very different specs and performance, also about the shadows, do you have android pro?

    shadows are a pro only feature, it does support normal maps and alpha maps depending on the shader used..

    what you should be considering is using as few polygons and textures possible, hardware resources on mobile devices are scarse even high end tablets will not perform the same as high end pcs

    >>Does the android extension support normal maps?
    sure, why not
    >>Does the android extension support alpha maps?
    what do you mean? in general - there is nothing platform specific about textures (apart compression sure, and some stuff you shouldnt care about now 8))
    >>I have imported some trees and the alpha layers were working, yet the shadows weren't being cast on the ground?
    shadows are pro only
