I've gone adhead and posted the new build here:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.0.50_arm-android-linux-gnu.apk

Just a heads up though, there does not appear to be a way to get to the
event log in the updated UI.  So off hand I cannot tell if the new code
is working.  I'll be able to hook it up under a debugger Sunday night
though.

I put in a hard-wired limit of 45 C.
We can adjust this as needed.
