Hello Garen, You should be able to make your existing Application class extend org.acra.CrashReportingApplication in replacement of extending Application. Just make sure to call super.onCreate() at the beginning of your own existing onCreate() override, and add other needed methods like getFormId() (required) and getCrashResources() (if you want to configure user notifications in acra v2).
The limitation of this configuration system requiring to extend a custom Application class is when you need to use another lib which has the same requirement. As you wrote before, we can only extend one class. I might add some documentation later on how to enable crash reporting "manually" in your application class if you are in this very special case. Please contact me directly by email or file an issue on the project page if you still have problems with ACRA. We solved an issue with Mathias Lin today which occurred when the manifest doesn't use the android:versionName attribute. There's a new acra-2.0.2 version with the fix.
