Hello, all. I decided to download and test all of the default skins that currently ship with XBMC 13.2 Git:20140817-0f3db05 (Compiled: Aug 17 2014). I tested these skins on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (SM-T700). Here are the results of my testing:
These skins have full touch support:
These skins have limited touch support:
These skins have no touch support:
These skins are currently listed as "incompatible" so I was unable to test
After all of my testing, I have found Amber and reFocus the best to use for my Android tablet. Eminence is very nice as well.
Update: the criteria for my testing was simple. The skin has to respond to basic touch selections. If I touched a selection and it did not respond, the skin was marked as incompatible. In instances where I could make some selections but other basic functionality was comprised such as being able to scroll through a library, I marked the skin as partially compatible. If a skin is marked as incompatible in 13.2 settings, I was unable to test.
