If you have problems with Smack, make sure you have tried aSmack, particularly this version (it has had some substantial improvements made, the original appears to no longer be maintained).
If you have problems with "stability", asking about those as separate questions is possibly worthwhile (if you haven't already).
Finally though, I know of at least one Java library that could be made to run on Andoid, Stroke. It's early days for it, and I believe it doesn't yet have a DNS library that works on Android, but it would be possible to link it up with one that does. It is written from the ground up to match the latest XMPP specifications by developers who actively participate in the development of those specifications.
