The only thing I found is to cross compile bash. Is there another way to have tab completion in the Android shell?

Click provides tab completion support for Bash (version 4.4 and up), Zsh, and Fish. It is possible to add support for other shells too, and suggestions can be customized at multiple levels. Shell completion suggests command names, option names, and values for choice, file, and path parameter types.
Using autocomplete is as simple as pressing the [TAB] and the active command line options will fill-in. If more than one option is available, you can hit [TAB] twice to display all possible choices and continue typing until there is only one matching choice left.
The programmable completion feature in Bash permits typing a partial command, then pressing the [Tab] key to auto-complete the command sequence. [1] If multiple completions are possible, then [Tab] lists them all. Let's see how it works. Tab completion also works for variables and path names.
Not a director answer but someone posted a pre-compiled binary of bash using those instructions of mine here.
