Note that Chrome 46 has a way to work around the white screen while a
page load using a new property in the Manifest. If a website added to
the homescreen on Chrome Android has a background_color information, it
will be used while the page loads. After Chrome gets the first paint
following a non-empty layout, it will remove that plain colour and
switch to whatever the page has ready. It allows websites to be
constructed as websites and not rely on that splashscreen feature that
might or might not be present (given the UA and the current context) and
also keep the principle of quick first paint.

Would using a similar system (ie. background_color from the Manifest)
help you here?
