The motivation is an API change: FloatMath is going to be
deprecated and/or removed. Performance is not the goal of
this change.
That said...
Math is faster than FloatMath with AOT compilation.
While making the change, occurances of:
{Float}Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y) and
{Float}Math.sqrt({Float}Math.pow(x, 2) + {Float}Math.pow(y, 2))
have been replaced with:
{(float)} Math.hypot(x, y)
Right now there is no runtime intrinsic for hypot so is not faster
in all cases for AOT compilation:
Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y) is faster than Math.hypot(x, y) with
AOT, but all other combinations of FloatMath, use of pow() etc.
are slower than hypot().
hypot() has the advantage of being self documenting and
could be optimized in future. None of the behavior differences
around NaN and rounding appear to be important for the cases
looked at: they all assume results and arguments are in range
and usually the results are cast to float.

The automatic switching between night/notnight is based on the calulcation of
the civil twilight of the current location. The location is mainly retrieved
from the NetworkLocationProvider.
Automatic switching will only be available, when
1) the device is in UI_MODE_TYPE_CAR
2) the setting for the UI mode are set to 'automatic'
If mode is set to automatic, the next twilight is caluclated and
an alarm is set that timestamp. The alarm will trigger a new calculation
of the twilight and sets the UI_MODE_NIGHT to the appropriate value.
