It turns out that the change proposed by a user was merged in without any testing, or without any testing that would have caught this pretty major bug. Of course, we didn't catch it because MobileSpec is black and our default background colour is black. I'm going to land the commit in 3.6.0 and master, but we really need to actually test when we merge things in and not just merge them in because the person doesn't like me, which I think was the case here. You can't set the colour of an App View without it having negative consequences on stock Android, or non-Samsung devices.
I can't believe people approved a release without doing a simple check like this. This is insane!
