You can swipe left / right between home / remote / now playing already.
For gesture it's on todo list since you're not the only one to ask but one day as usual

Yes if Yatse icon becomes black it means that xbmc does not answer to yatse 3 consecutive times
I received more than one report so I don't know witch one is yours but there was one with appletv xbmc that is known to be really slow in big json request since not enough cpu power.
If it's your case until Frodo that handle correctly sub requests (well with correct perfs), I'm afraid that it will never work with the way I currently work
For the remoting part, I'm sorry but even if I had more theme changing the design and adding multi language text is clearly not in the plans.

Is it just me, or did the text size for video information get a little bigger? (good thing). My one idea (like the playlist option being requested) is a button to show your video queue through the app itself.
Another idea is to have a simple slideshow tutorial of how to use the app when first installed. Showing where to set up your xbmc IP setup, and the different menus (remote, video info, main menu) It may eliminate repeated questions, and also may make it easier for new XBMC users who don't visit the forums to learn how to use the app. Or just a link to your site with all the info on first startup. Although they can just hit the yatse icon to get your website info)

Some things may have changed yes.
Video queue is like music queue it's current playlist, it's planned as real xbmc playlist.
For slideshow this is a good idea but quite hard to make something multi language and easy to understand for users
And I prefer spend time on getting a better app than that.
But I'm still looking for someone to help me maintain the Wiki on this part
And 2.2.2 is uploaded that also correct some crashes, users have really lot's of imagination on how to use android apps
If after upgrading to 2.2.2 you still have crashes that talk about recycled bitmap I'll really need detailed informations on how you produce this and the reports.

Others remote does not work like me
I do full local sync and target speed, so the choice was made to get a big chunk of data from XBMC in one time since until Frodo this is the fastest way (and by a quite bit amount).
Others often request only songs from albums at runtime and / or gets only small parts of data.
Xbmc remote official use old deprecated direct SQL queries so even if it's slow there's no JSON encoding after the long query and that's this part that kill ATV. Check Json dev thread for more informations.
Doing subqueries would correct the problem specific for ATV but would make synchronization much longer (way much) so I decided to go this way with the side effect of some problems on ATV users with very big songs or tv episodes library.
When Frodo is out I'll implement small chunk sync since it should take the same global time, and I'll surely back port the code as an option to Eden users, but I'm sorry I'll wait at least Beta / RC of Frodo to implement things very specific to it.

Wondering... how exactly do I change the icons of the grid view of the TV-shows (on the screen which lists the different series)? Atm it shows the shows' banners resized to something like 150x150, which isn't that pretty. I've seen a screenshot on googleplay where TV-shows are represented by their artwork. How do I get this?

For the moment banners are not supported in Yatse (Will arrive soon , surely in next version no ETA).
If you want to have posters, you need to change the images in Xbmc so that Xbmc send me the correct ones.
I don't really use them so I don't know if you can set posters as default images for Shows and still see banners inside Xbmc (Perhaps possible with custom skins).

Hey tolriq, looking forward to the next update.
I'm still having some crashes on CM10.
Every time I enter my music and start to scroll down it crashes.
I'll see if I can get a logcat..
Cheers!

I must admit that until roms are more stable on S3 for JB I don't want to flash, and JB crash logs for the moment does not contain enough information for real explanation on the real timing of problem.
BTW I'll send you a current work build with some new changes for tests.

my dear friend tolriq (lol I'm trying to put you in a good mood ;-)
If was thinking about something
When you use an external player with xbmc you have the ability with a pop up to choose your player for a video, your external player or the dvdplayer.
Is there a way to have this on yatse??
I can give you the reason for this question if you want too

It's not possible remotely from what I know, but I'll ask if there'll be a way in Frodo
Edit : I've made a Feature request
will see if it arrives to Frodo.
