Some transitions do not animate on Android 5.0.x

Cross posting this here in case some one in the forum has a solution, but doesn’t see the Github issue. I use TransitionCrossFade for many scene transitions, and it looks like it does not work (as well as some others) on Android 5. I verified by building Cpp-Tests from Cocos 3.6 using NDK r10d (and r10e) and installing on Nexus 7 running Android 5.0.2

CALL TO ARMS: we are getting mixed results over on Github, so this might be a device related issue. IF YOU HAVE AN ANDROID 5.x device, please run cpp-tests and check the if the transitions animate properly (specifically the TransitionCrossFade and TransitionProgressRadial__) and post here your results (PASS, FAIL, other) including what the device is and which version of Android it is running, as well as which version of Cocos (3.6 or 3.7).

Thank you.

[UPDATE] As an additional test, I installed TestCpp from Cocos 2.2.6 and the transitions are working correctly there, so it is not strictly my device.
