I found an answer on Stack Overflow which recommends Crosswalk:
Put simply, it packages a Chromium based webview inside your apk and it’s backed by Intel. You can use it starting from Android 4.X.
Which is pretty much the first “solution” I wrote 
on my previous answer.
There says that a plugin for cordova 4 exists, so it should be easier to implement and faster than rebuilding .
I hope it helps 
!
Edit
Here is a link to the cordova crosswalk plugin repository.
