Certainly almost all android phone/tabel contain enough internal ram
making sdcard optional.  I guess it is easy to access ~user folder
under JHS. However I use jconsole not jhs, os I need to browse and open
and edits files using terminal or file managers. If it can ship a
profilex.ijs with r/w permission and dummy content such as,

NB. profilex.ijs
NB. user=.   '/sdcard/data/j'
NB. break=.   user,'/break'
NB. snap=.    user,'/snap'
NB. temp=.   user,'/temp'
NB. config=. user,'/config'

Then one can uncomment lines to make ~user and ~temp more easily
accessible.

creating profilex.ijs from its template is possible but involves
many steps and a superuser account.
