I got a change to test on a newer android phone and indeed only the boat browser can display local webpages, I think the problem is unrelated of J but most mobile browsers are not designed to display file:/// webpages or why should they. I guess the solution is to choose browsers that work with local files.
Another problem I realised is that bitmap is tiny on high-res screen. the icons bar of the editor window is very smaller (they are already 36x36 pixels, nearly half inch on a desktop). Also individual cell in minesweeper is impossible to tap because of its tiny size. Hypothetically J scripts can detect dpi and draw a bigger bitmap accordingly.
