Emacs for Android has always been crashy and difficult to setup :(

I've finally given up on Emacs, git, and most other command line programs on Android. At some point, ssh'ing from Android to GitHub suddenly stopped working, and no amount of permissions/configuration management could fix it. Once I couldn't git pull/push, there was little point in using Emacs or any other CLI text editor on my phone.

The following procedure works fine on my Nexus 5/Android 4.4.4:

Disable Hacker's keyboard if you are using it.
After the Fatal error on startup, connect to startup directory: cd src
Run startup: ./bootstrap-emacs
If I have Hacker's keyboard enabled here, I will have a segfault, but if disabled, no segfault.
After Emacs has initialized, you can reenable Hacker's keyboard, although using an external keyboard (with the External keyboard helper app) works much better. I use Freedom Pro.
You may need to set the font to some suitable size, as indicated by some other comments. I use 10pt.

After this, my Emacs runs consistently like a dream! (I just wish it could handle UTF-8 :-).

Q: drnll - "connect to startup directory and run startup" - does that go into the app data dir which would only work on a rooted phone? I couldn't get past "fatal error"...

A: The procedure above does NOT require rooting. You just type "cd src" at the prompt where you were left after the fatal error.

Ah. Cool. So I did not even have to ask. drnil, your description works here too.

Btw., what Did you have to do to get the segfault? I still did nothing more than M-x psychoanalyse-pinhead -- but that worked fine. (With Hacker's Keyboard.)
