Thank you for the plug for yaxim. I've been searching around for a "good enough" jabber client for android, and while yaxim isn't there yet (for me: no otr support, single server) it looks like it's headed in the right direction!

Have you looked at ChatSecure? It has OTR, multiple servers, all that good stuff. It's not wonderful but it ain't bad (curious to hear what others have to say, I haven't really used much else)
I have it installed, but not really looked at it. My last "burst" use of xmpp was via facebook -- as most of my contacts don't use "plain" jabber right now. Before that I used it a bit for work -- but then rarely on my phone.

Now that google is killing talk in favour of proprietary hangouts, I predict it'll be a while before I'm a serious xmpp user again.

Sadly it's very hard to push process changes when one are in the minority in a group... Thanks for the reminder though, it does look like it full-fills most of my needs (and fixes annoyances I've encountered with other android clients).
