[Android] minSDK is now 8, aka Android 2.2

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Well, technically, it still works, but percent library is minSdk 8, and
the READ_PHONE_STATE permission is too dangerous.

In theory, and according to the documentation, we don't need this
permission; in practice, we do need it.

However, we won't drop the 1.6.6.1 apk anyway, so people can get access
to it :)

Best,
