I have been able to get all of the other tools to work on my ANdroid device. The eraser tool works but you just can't see it.
I found a few things in my research on this topic. See the screen captures about them.
1. I added a copy of a script that I am using.
2. I also added a screen capture of the inclusions options.
3. I added the stack that I added to my application.
I hope this is helpful information.

What does "The eraser tool works but you just can't see it." mean?

If you're referring to the cursors, there are none on mobile OSes.

If you're referring to the results, how do you know it works if its erasures are not evident in the image?

Forgive me if I'm slow this morning, but I just don't understand what's being described here.

even though there is no icon for the eraser to be seen, when you move over objects with the mouse or your finger, objects are erased.
I know this sounds weird but believe me it does erase parts of the image that you move over.

Richard is right, mobile has no support for cursor images. You won't see a cursor in any Android painting app, it isn't just LC. Download any of the free image editors from the Play Store and see how they do it.
