I dunno the answer to your question but maybe use orgzly on android instead. It mostly works OK but to be honest, I mainly only use it read-only. I use syncthing to synchronise to linux org files.

Also - how the heck would you use a keyboard-driven application like emacs without a (proper) keyboard? It sounds like punishment.

Did you try outline-minor-mode ?

I like the vertical bars outlining the function structures - how is that done?

I can't help with your problem (other than maybe try knocking the config back to the absolute minimum and if that works then try adding back bits until it breaks again) but i can't believe you're re-mapping C-x e, it's just so useful as kmacro-end-and-call-macro.

I can't recall where I first heard the term, but 'angry fruit salad' is so descriptive of so many of them.
