First of all, thanks a lot for this repository, it's awesome!

However it's rather difficult to re-configure this project every time back to Gingerbread.

Does it matter? The statistics of 1st April 2014 (http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/04/07/apples-ios-7-reaches-87-adoption-still-growing-faster-than-android-44-kitkat) state, that still 17% of all Android devices run 2.3.3 and statistics from 1st Quartal 2014 (http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp) state that android has 81% global market share. Which ultimately means you'd lose about 13% user of the entire global market if you don't support 2.3.3.

I guess this is rather a feature request than an issue, but I feel it is fitting here rather ok-ish. (Don't hit me for suggesting it)

At any rate, thanks for this project it saves tons of times nonetheless. Keep up the good work.

What do you have to reconfigure to support Gingerbread? The minSdkVersion in AndroidManifest.xml is currently set to 8, in other words 2.2.x.
