Our chromecast integration crashes on devices with Android 2.3.x
It is probably caused by some styling attributes overriden by the device vendor and a combination with a reference to Holo styles in the cast SDK / media router…
Tested on Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Wildfire 510 SE. Did you experience something like that and have an idea how to fix it?

Mark, Does the Sample app also crash on those devices or it is just the app that you have written? I will try to find a phone running 2.3 (not so easy these days) and test the sample app myself but thought you might have tested that already. If the sample app crashes as well, then it would be much easier for me to debug that and write you back on possible solution.
