robl45 it should
@
h8buffers the problem is that http api is being deprecated and typing json command will be quite complicated
(Not to mention that json is limited on commands).
Some other commands can still be send via Event Server.
The only way i see would be to implement a list of command that can be bind to buttons.
But I'm not sure this will covers all needs, that I must admit have no idea of what they can be since I'm a quite simple Xbmc user.

Well, well, well Nice try
The main problem about that is if I put a finger in that users will always want much more
And all those functions are the goal of the full app for tablets
There is so much things that can be done on tablet that will be limited on phone, and since I don't have time to support all and own a tablet well ....
So for the apps I write I'll be :
Phones = full featured and optimized remote and widget that fits perfect on phone.
Tablets (ICS + ) = full feature remote with browsing juke box playlist party mode and more .

i don't know if its possible given lack of key mappings, but buttons or a toggle to switch between video modes on mpc-hc would be excellent. for instance, a lot of movies i watch with touch window from inside video setting, but then most 3d sbs, i have to use pan and scan scale to 16:9 to fit my screen(yea i know it screws the aspect ratio up). anyway, if there was a way to go between those without having to get out of the remote and go to another remote to right click and select, that would be great.
i dont think there is a key mapping to pan and scan 16:9 though. but the settings that make up the pan and scan scale to 16:9 do have button settings so it would have to be a macro type thing to get it to change to that setting each time unless mpc-hc will code in a button for it. unless someone else knows another way to do it. about my only issue right now with my HTPC.

h8buffers : Toggle OSD is already there (it's home button ) but it will be easier to use in V1. For the other commands if only those they are in Json rpc and can easily be added. And i must admit they would allow me to do less clicks so I'll surely find a way to add them
@robl45: Can you check in MPC settings the key Next AR Preset, (Virtkey 859) and add a key to it and test if it does what you want ?
There's already an aspect ratio button in V1 that is mapped to this.

unfortunately no, the toggle AR preset does not do it.

Well so I don't really have a solution
I see that you post on Mpc trac about the ticket #335, perhaps you can reopen it or open a new one asking for a virtkey to do a rotation between the configured pan&scans.

Yes no way to update a directly installed apk to a market one
What do you mean by yucky ? the skin was tested on a few phones and it was always rendering OK.
Witch part Widget / Remote / Now playing ? What phone, what luminosity settings ?

Well I got other bad comments about the new Skin.
Can more people give their opinion on this ?
I'll perhaps put back the black theme in the free version if too much complains and no one like the new one.
