If you get lucky I actually think that making LyX running on Android
might be question of couple hours of hacking of your Android.

The idea is not to (re)code anything in LyX codebase, but to make
some linux distro running on top of android (e.g. debian can
be installed rather easily, I tried). Then you need to add X server and
normally install X-apps from debian repositories; ppl reported
they were capable get firefox/gimp/libreoffice/eclipse running,
which is why I believe you have a decent shot, that it will work
for LyX as well.
