import eel.browsers eel.browsers.set_path('chrome', '/path/to/chrome/on/my/phone')

from my online search, i got ds command for startin chrome from d terminal:

@abyordon when you said you tried the command, did you use mode=custom? like eel.start('index.html', mode=custom, cmdline_args[command])?

even if that works the command you got will mostly just open chrome where you left it. try using pyjnius as Vito Gentile suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27812852/webbrowser-open-doesnt-work-on-android
