Minor issues on Android

[giuliopaci]

I am trying to study react-native directly on my phone. I am able to perform basic development on the phone, but I have to workaround a couple of annoying issues.

Environment

Environment:
OS: android
Node: 8.9.4
Yarn: 1.3.2
npm: 4.6.1
Watchman: Not Found
Xcode: N/A
Android Studio: Not Found

Packages: (wanted => installed)
react: 16.2.0 => 16.2.0
react-native: 0.52.0 => 0.52.0

Expected Behavior

create-react-native-app applicationname should work and the created application project should be usable.

Actual Behavior

1. the creation procedure fails with the following error:

ngrok - error unpacking binary { Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/test2/pippo/node_modules/@expo/ngrok/bin/ngrok-stable-android-arm64.zip'
  errno: -2,
  code: 'ENOENT',
  syscall: 'open',
  path: '/data/data/com.termux/files/home/test2/pippo/node_modules/@expo/ngrok/bin/ngrok-stable-android-arm64.zip' }

I was able to skip this issue by just copying ngrok-stable-linux-arm.zip into /data/data/com.termux/files/home/test2/pippo/node_modules/@expo/ngrok/bin/ngrok-stable-android-arm64.zip in a continuous loop during the creation process;
2. Created project is not working because os.cpus() is undefined. I was able to workaround this by patching node_modules/metro/src/lib/getMaxWorkers.js and node_modules/metro/src/lib/getMaxWorkers.js.flow with a change like const cores = (os.cpus() || {length: 1}).length;.

Steps to Reproduce

On an Android system with Oreo, install Termux, then in Termux install npm, patch npm as described in github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/1798, use npm to install npm version 4.6.1, use npm 4.6.1 to install react-native, try to create a new project.

I have not tried with a recent version, but the issue is present with the most recent create-react-native-app, which is not installing 0.54.
