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.
