If I may ask, would it be possible to modify the code to store the wallet on an USB Stick (OTG)?

Or do you see any problems with that?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the Android security model doesn't (I believe) extend to files saved on a USB OTG stick. That means that any app could access the wallet-protobuf file.

Although Bitcoin Wallet for Android uses good key stretching for the PIN, it's still short enough to be fairly easy to brute-force by your average PC once stolen by a malicious app. So, not a good idea....
