As mentioned, using acceleratedRendering on an Android device running OS 
2.2 or earlier will launch to a black screen if you use the defaults. If 
you set the compositorType to "software" it works, but I got some 
unwanted artifacts when I did that. As far as I know it hasn't been 
fixed yet, so I had to require Android 2.3 or higher.

Another thing is incompatibility with 4.1 Jelly Bean. I had to rebuild 
with 5.5.4 to fix that. Earlier versions of LiveCode apps opened to a 
black screen on Jelly Bean.
