You can use the previous template by editing the template files inside the Android SDK folder. But, make sure you have a backup of the "BlankActivity" folder.

• Go to /templates/tools/templates/activities/BlankActivity

• Locate the template.xml file and locate the following piece of code

and change the constraints to constraints="empty".

• Locate recipie.xml.ftl and locate the following piece of code
  
  and comment the whole line.

• Locate SampleActivity.java.ftl file inside root/src/app_package and delete these two lines
  <#include "include_options_menu.java.ftl"> <#include "include_fragment.java.ftl">

• Locate fragment_simple.xml.ftl and activity_fragment_container.xml.ftl file inside root/res/layout. Copy the contents of fragment_simple.xml.ftl file to activity_fragment_container.xml.ftl file.

Now when you try to create a new activity, you'll get this screen

You can leave the Fragment Layout Name field blank.

This works fine for me in the case of blank activity. I'm not sure if this is the right approach, with discarding fragments and all, but this works for me.
