Answer 1

There is no a single answer to that. Some tips (possible solutions) are:

1) rename every filename who content a special character (image, html, template, javascript file, css)

2)

   ionic platform remove android
   ionic platform add android

3) check in /resources/android/splash folder to see for broken images

4)

   ionic platform remove android
   ionic platform add android
   ionic state restore
   ionic resources
