Update sample templates for android-23 release
Converted "android-MNC" build target references (including
min/compile) to use "23" instead, to correspond with
recent SDK builds.
Includes source file refresh.

-Android BasicRenderScript Sample
-==============================
-BasicRenderScript sample demonstrates basic steps how to use renderScript.
- In the sample, it performs graphical filter operation on a image with renderScript.
+Android BasicRenderScript Sample
+===================================
+
+This sample demonstrates using RenderScript to perform basic image manipulation. Specifically, it allows users
+to dynamically adjust the saturation for an image using a slider. A custom RenderScript kernel performs the saturation
+adjustment, running the computation on the device\'s GPU or other compute hardware as deemed appropriate by the system.
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+[RenderScript][1] is a framework for running computationally intensive tasks at high performance on Android. RenderScript is
+primarily oriented for use with data-parallel computation, although serial computationally intensive workloads can
+benefit as well.
+
+The RenderScript runtime will parallelize work across all processors available on a device, such as multi-core CPUs,
+GPUs, or DSPs, allowing you to focus on expressing algorithms rather than scheduling work or load balancing.
+RenderScript is especially useful for applications performing image processing, computational photography, or computer
+vision.
+
+This sample demonstrates the fundamentals of writing a RenderScript compute kernel, and using it to perform basic image
+manipulation. In this case, each pixel is transformed based on a liner interpolation between its original
+RGB value and it's luminance (black-and-white) value, weighted based on the user's specified saturation target.
