Installer assumes /mnt/sdcard exists and is writeable

[alanpearce]

The installer tries to write to /mnt/sdcard and does not give any opportunity to change the path.

On my Archos G9, the directory exists but is not writeable, so the emacs download fails instantly. I managed to workaround it by suing to root and bind-mounting /mnt/storage (the HDD mountpoint) to /mnt/sdcard, but I think it would be better if the installer detected this and asked the user to choose another location.

Apps can already write to their respective directories. Why not install Emacs in the Emacs Android app directory?

Won't fix. Pathes are hardcoded in Emacs config (paths.h or something).
