A centred (e.g. 20%) <hr /> works on all my ereader apps and eink readers. I don't do fixes for other people's broken Android apps. There are loads of Android ereader apps than work perfectly with epub2 (less for epub3) with also support for embedded fonts. Some have over-rides. Unfortunately there are even more ereader apps on Android that are junk. One not only didn't support embedded fonts or basic CSS properly, but only had a few built in fonts. Imagine a Kindle 2 implemented as an epub reader on Android without metadata!

Aldiko Basic, Bluefire, Lithium and Pocketbook all work properly on Android for epub2 and are free. Any pro paid version not needed to read ebooks via USB or SD card loading.
Some work even on Android 4.x (4.4 may be lowest that still connects to Playstore).
Lithium is good, but for a larger screen held in Landscape the Pocketbook allows two portrait epub or pdf pages. It starts PDF on with one page the right so page layout matches paper. Xodo has the pages one out compared to paper.
