with alpha3 i have not been able to make my ap work anymore. First, the 
QtLocation bug, then Ministro with the issues on downloads (i am 
downloading slowly over mobile, the screen goes black, i tap the screen, 
download skip lib or halts or crash and such, or rotate screen and 
similar issue, or go to background and cannot get it back), then still 
crash, black screen after green Qt then nothing, and nothing in the 
logs. Two things happened: upgraded my SGSII to ICS and upgraded from 
Alpha2.

On my older Ideos (Froyo) with an old alpha2 build, still works.

No need to apologize... Instead, give us a way to donaye for a specific 
goal helping the project... at least for ones like me who feels guilty 
not having time to dedicate...
