Twelve Versions of Aerial: Twelve Releases in Nine Days, 81ms to 29ms Per Frame, and a Seamless Banner Change from 1.57 to 1.69

The Aerial upstream shipped twelve versions in nine days, and this machine jumped from 1.57 to 1.69 (versionCode 85): the performance overhaul of 1.68 pays the most for an armeabi-v7a box — home swiping down from 81ms to 29ms per frame, long-press menu 75→22ms, entering the screensaver 104→24ms, wallpapers no longer dimmed, and the aerial footage resuming in about 1.5 seconds when returning home from an app; 1.66 brings the two-row home, 1.65 makes rows of 4/5/6 selectable, 1.60 turns the app page into milky frosted glass, and 1.61-1.64 chains a run of screensaver fixes; the overwrite install without uninstall passed its checklist item by item — guard, grants, OCR verification, zero crashes and zero ANR.
