I had a lots of problem deploying application for Android using Kivy -1.8.0 python 2.7 on Ubuntu 15.04.
Recently using buildozer 0.33 with cython 0.20 I got a new error stating

'kivy.graphics.vbo'
'error do not use this file it is an failed compilation of Cython'

After getting my head around I some how executed 'buildozer -v android debug' by installing dependencies as pexpect,32 bit libs etc.
Now I have apk generated in /bin but It shuts down when run on Android 4.0.4 with squashed 'Kivy loading' form

Since then I am not able to get my work done,I request people to help me out.

There isn't an alternative to buildozer. You can use python-for-android directly, but that probably wouldn't help anything.

Your error here is probably because your cython version is too old, but it's hard to say for sure without more information.

To debug on android, check the adb logcat stream.

I would rather say that the version of cython is too recent. I generally have to downgrade from the version23 to 21 for python for Android to build correctly.
