> getsettings API removed from CordovaWebView ex: appView.getSettings().setRenderPriority in the java MainActivity no longer works in Cordova Android 3.7.2 and above (to test you will need to use an Android 4.x device and set hardwareacceleration to false in AndroidManifest) -  an undefined method is thrown in the compiler. This is a deal-breaker as we cannot use Crosswalk because it adds 18mb to APK size (we really need to stay below the 50MB cellular APK size limit for market reach). We need our CSS3 transforms to be above 1-10fps for stability and the above tweak has allowed us to maintain compatibility and performance for Android 4.x and above (with all versions of Cordova Android below 3.7.2). Having the getsettings API removed from Cordova 3.72 and above (and no replacement API exists) means that we cannot upgrade our Cordova until this issue is resolved and will have to go without patch for CVE-2015-1835.
