Currently we strip symbols (function names) from the nightly releases. This makes it impossible to profile them via eideticker. Size differences (approximation, I compared my build with nightly) to using 'STRIP_FLAGS="--strip-debug"': APK Size increase: 16.3MB to 18.8MB (+2.5MB) Uncompressed APK Size increase: 29MB to 44MB (+15MB)

I'll patch it when we add armv6 to eideticker.
