Description (last modified by rjeschke)
ABP Android targets API7 but references classes/variables from at least API9. Also some of the native binaries seemed to be compiled for ARMv7 (API7/9 typically have ARMv5) which results in segfaults caused by illegal opcode exceptions.
We can not support ARMv5 any longer because v8 requires ARMv7.
I already increased the minimum required API level to 9, makes no sense supporting lower versions as they will have ARMv5 CPUs. The APK now also features the correct binary (armeabi-v7a) so it won't install on non ARMv7 devices.
To support all upcoming devices we still have to include x86 builds for libadblockplus and v8.

This sounds a lot like two issues to me - without ARMv5 binaries we don't really run on typical API level 9 devices either, right? If you file a separate issue for that, it'd deserve P3 IMO, supporting API level 9 is arguably more important than supporting API level 7.
