10-29Twelve 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.

The de-advertising campaign against the three video TV apps — iQiyi Qiyiguo, Tencent Jiguang, Youku CIBN Kumiao — was surveyed before the first shot: three base packages in place, lvp9 leading reverse analysis, ci-build the sole build exit, local MuMu12 reserved for install-and-test; splash, pre-roll, pause, card and popup ads all listed for clearing, with membership checks and DRM set as untouchable boundary stones; two risks declared in advance — the Kumiao base package from a third-party market may carry integrity checks, and server-delivered ad configs may demand cutting config endpoints, with functional integrity prevailing in any trade-off. The same day also entered the register: the verdict on whether long tasks belong to Hermes or to the coding agents.

Sunday advances on the living-room front: the new territory booted its desktop from Aerial 1.31 straight to the upstream-freshest 1.57, and the official Smooth mode formally replaced the manual glass-backplate workaround of October 22; the 192.168.5.29 Xiaomi TV was flashed with Aerial, the iQiyi de-advertising reverse attempt found its repack road sealed by KeySet, and the front turned toward router-level domain blocking; the home-forged tvsource.apk (an HDMI-source tile with boot listener) was compiled and banked the same day.

The Xiaomi TV session closed with a handover this day: Aerial v1.29 is the default desktop, the guard intercepts HOME, four revived ad components were cleared again, and the aerial screensaver replaced the picture-frame ads — while the ceiling was drawn clearly: boot ads live in firmware and cannot be removed. The source-input problem was overturned by a handover addendum — the original "no tv_input, must use Xiaomi settings" was only half right; the real fix is the INPUTSOURCE_POPUP broadcast (which must carry FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND, or the panel misses an 8-second-delayed dispatch), landing as an 8.5 KB self-built tile, com.min.tvsource v1.1, verified end to end. And the three-layer verdict on "can AI build TV firmware": the app layer AI has already conquered, the system layer lacks keys, and the firmware layer is physically unreachable.

A 720p, Android 6.0 Xiaomi TV with only 929MB of memory (107MB free) got a full medical after ADB connected. The Xiaomi TV advertising quartet — push, quality reporting, cloud control and statistics — together occupy about 20MB resident and keep networking. Fifteen packages were uninstalled successfully, expected to free 30-40MB of resident memory and cut all background networking. But after reboot the ADB switch was reset, and persistence改造 also failed: persist properties, adb_enabled and developer_status all set, yet 200 seconds after reboot 5555 stayed closed — this firmware deliberately resets the network ADB switch on every boot.

An Android TV short-drama aggregator was crowned three times in a single day — correctness, then experience, then self-update and multi-source. Fixture tests exposed the source site third card template, the unquantifiable intro skip was handed to the user, and the error log pinned CDN-side failures with URL-level evidence.
