Lost my Skype

Had to do a factory reset since I arrived in Saudi and lost my Skype instalation. Yea I know I should have backed it up!!!
The problem is that I cant find a download or install file any more. Think it may be something to do with my current location. All I get invalid or non-exiatant files and redirects back to Skype.
Could someone please just email me the download so I can get my Skype back?

How can you lose an app which is already installed?
Also the android market changes depending on where you are (location detected via sim card).
You can download applanet (google it, sign up for the site, download app from forum, install app) to get access to skype if you require. I know applanet is frowned upon on, on these forums but for us people from Middle East at times it is the only way to get access to apps.

Or try Market Enabler. It fakes your location for the Market and makes pretty much every app available in the Market.

Thanks guys!
Havent rooted my tab yet so will try applanet first.

Applanet is ok except the Skype apps there were not the one I had before. The MarketEnabler though is great now I have access to just about anything on the market.
Thanks again for your help!

hmmm been trying to use it ever since install and issues, issues, issues.
Freezes, force closes, incoming cals can be answered but no sound.
Is all this normal??? I didnt have the same issues before!

Xoom Rooted +Market Enabler stil can't access paid/tablet apps

Hi rooted my Xoom Wifi using the guide procesure and installed and enbaled market enabler.
I still can't access paid or tablet apps. Am I missing something?

use a rooted phone with same google account
Doesn't work for me either but then I figured I can use a rooted phone where market access/enabled works. So I download the apps there and since I use the same account for my rooted xoom when I goto market in my xoom I see these apps I purchased in the phone available for download

That is a good solution. However if you want to get tegra specific games you will not be able to download to your phone (I experienced this). I'm still looking for the final solution.

any Google Music users?

Hi there, was just curious if anyone has figured out how to get Google Music on the KF, and if it would require rooting.
I have already uploaded ~50GB of music to google and really don't want to have to do the same to Amazon Cloud Drive, especially with the $20 fee.
Thanks!

Once i got working market, which yes requires root, I was able to pull down google music from the market and it works flawlessly.

I was able to get mine working after rooting, i installed market and google music, and the widget. works fine.

I got mine without rooting and just installing the APK's individually. You need a bunch of APK's to get it going right, including the Google framework, Books, and Gmail apps.
See the "side loading apps" thread for more.

I used the sideload thread to get google apps working (didn't do market as its more of a hassle). After that, installing google music is easy. I install on my phone, backup the apk and use dropbox to move to my device.

You can sideload it along with the google framework, and it works perfectly.
If you want to be able to buy music though, you need to load the market, you need to root and follow the insructions in the development forum, it takes like2 minutes...i then unrooted once i got it loaded and everything works awesome.

Ematic FunTab Pro Google Play

Just wanted to put this out there somewhere maybe it will help someone.
I recently purchased an Ematic FunTab Pro from Walmart.com and was able to install Google Play store by simply loading an older market.apk file.
All of the other Google Framework was already on this tablet.
Unfortunately the tablet I received had a damaged screen so I had to return it but wanted to let everyone know that it should be very possible to add Google Play to this tablet.

how do you load google play?
Hello,
Can you please explain how to download the early market apk for google play? I can't even find a site that let's you download the newone lol

I just searched it on Google. Just type something like "Google play store apk". I've got it installed on my little brother's fun tab pro but I can't figure out how to get it to work. It keeps force closing whenever I open it or when I try to install an app with it. I heard the Google framework doesn't come with the tablet, how did that other guy have the framework already there? Any help would be appreciated but I'm going to try a few more things to see if I can get it to work too. Thanks.

Same problem here, I bought two of them for my boys. Tryin to figure it out. I'm able to side load app from random websits. I'm not a big fan of that though.
I'm just using the slideme market for now. Its better than the broken app stores preinstalled
These things are horrible, nothing works, apps crash. I consider myself an advanced android user and this is pathetic. Im getting a headache. Were returning them back to Walmart later.

My solution:
Download APK extractor and Wifi file transfer (wifi transfer app optional) with registered android device.
Download desired apps to registered Android device.
Use APK extractor to extract app (no root needed)
Either use wifi transfer (wireless and more convenient) or use PC to transfer APK files to FunTab. (Files can be found in the "APKextractor" folder from registered android device and move them to to the desired folder in the FunTab ) detach from computer.
Install APK on fun tab using stock file browser
Thank me and enjoy.

Amazon App Store
Try installing the amazon app store.

Ematic Funtab 7" tablet
My sister bought this tablet for my 2 year old son for christmas he loves it but it would be nice if I can install Netflix on his tab so he can watch SuperWhy and YoGABA GABA and all that kiddie stuff he likes.
I'm trying to install the Google Play APK and Netflix APK the apps try to launch but they don't open, and they crash.
I read somewhere that I would have to send the tab to Ematic and they have to remove a "lock" so I can install all this stuff. From my understanding Zoodles causes this "lock" and it tricks the tab into thinking the outsourced apps are outdated and cannot launch.
I imagine that this so-called "lock" is just having to root this device.
Has anyone tried rooting it? He just received it, yesterday, I would hate to send it to Ematic just so they can root it.
Help?:laugh:
