I was running 4.1 just fine until I started using ThreadSafeClientConnManager and Scheme which produced some nasty runtime errors.

WARN/dalvikvm(1077): VFY: unable to resolve direct method 3290: Lorg/apache/http/conn/scheme/Scheme;. (Ljava/lang/String;ILorg/apache/http/conn/scheme/SchemeSocketFactory;)V
