I use svg-android.jar from https://github.com/pents90/svg-android at its work fine but only on emulator devices in eclipse. Agrrrr. On real devices

On newer devices that have hardware rendering turned on by default, you need to explicitly turn on software rendering.
imgView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
I suspect this is probably your problem.
