well it has been a few days and no-one else posted on this so i will give you what i think
just 20+ minutes ago i was reading where we are still running on a few versions back then closer to the front we have people trying to code 4.0 with no sources released then yesterday we get it that they are moving pointers around on us in 4.0 ~ even if you are a deep kernel expert you have no way to insure that the shop that shipped the vend even complied with Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) let alone something deep in code we have not seen with only a few clicks one can see that Target Devices -> Platform Versions -> Current Distribution is 2.3.3 & 2.2 holding a strong 80-% so that is what I will build to and test for as usually 80% of the market results in most bugs done and over with looks like Stagefright is 2.2 = I am going to go watch the video ...
