Would sure be great to be able to customize this thing.

It does work for me. Try to :e ~/.vimrc

:e ~/.vimrc did not work for me.  I was only able to get my .vimrc file into 
vimtouch's home directory by becoming the superuser.  somehow the permissions 
on the .vimrc file gave no access to the user.  ie no access for vimtouch.  By 
changing these permission as the superuser via chmod u+rw .vimrc, I got my 
.vimrc to work.

On my tablet, ~ and $HOME expand to /data/data/net.momodalo.app.vimtouch/files, 
which is not editable without root permission. It would be great if /mnt/sdcard 
or some other user-writable path could be used to contain .vimrc

I added an option menu to open the .vimrc

This is still an issue. The menu option is nice but it looks for ~/.vimrc
The app user's home directory on a Nexus 9 with Lollipop defaults to /data. The 
user doesn't have permissions to write to /data so the open fails as it tries 
to make a recovery file. 

I assume that the vimrc file in the vim directory for the application is the 
one that is actually parsed. If so, then the app should open 
/data/data/net.momodalo.app.vimtouch/files/vim/vimrc which does have the 
appropriate permissions.

Until there is some standardization on $HOME I would hard code the location.

This is as yet unresolved.  How to write to vimrc, how to set HOME to other 
than install dir.  Where does this issue get resolved?

It looks like the issue is closed, but my environment seems to be the same as 
described by Kevin. What is standard procedure, should someone create a new 
issue?

I'm unable to find a writeable directory for vimrc on unrooted stock nexus 10 
running Lollipop 5.1.

I have added this issue on the issues list for the github repo.
https://github.com/momodalo/vimtouch/issues/90

I would consider this page and the contents as abandoned.
