I think you are searching for this:

Android native browser not updated above version 534.30 so you can filter to the version and Android UA string combination (above we can presume its a Chrome browser)

Here's my sample JavaScript code:

(If you need specific styling I would add a class to the body with the following JS snippet)

var defectAndroid = $window.navigator && $window.navigator.userAgent.indexOf('534.30') > 0 && $window.navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().match(/android/);

if (defectAndroid) {
   // sample code specific for your Android Stock browser
}

(Some Android devices reporting 'android' that's why we need the lower case conversation)
