One thing to watch out for is that recent Android SDK versions will append -v4 to resource folders that use a specifier that Android 1.5 doesn't understand. Before this Android 1.5 would sometimes read the folder anyway. So, for example, if you had a drawable-mdpi directory and switched to the latest build tools, it is actually now drawable- mdpi-v4, which Android 1.5 won't read. For that particular case you can just make the folder named drawable instead anyway, since it is considered medium density class by default.
