Description

Now that we don't use it to detect keyboard visibility, there's no need to have it. All activities have a FrameLayout at their root, and plugins that want to add new native views generally install their own layouts (e.g. NativePageTransitions).

Tested this out with mobilespec's --thirdpartyplugins, and nothing broke.
