Anybody got Flash Player to work yet? I've downloaded the flash_for_2.1.apk, installed it as a plugin but neither the browser nor OperaMini seems to use it.
I tried this apk as well... same results. I guess we'll need to wait for an different version to" arrive".
yeah its buggy as hell and flashlite doesn't work well.
if you need basic flash support, use skyfire
From what I read, installing Flash 10.1 on Android 2.1 does absolutely nothing. I read through huge threads of people trying to figure out if it did, but they were getting confused because they already had Flash Lite 4 which shows up as 10.1 in Adobe's about page.
All we have for now is whatever version of Flash Lite we have (3.x I think). Past that we have to wait for 2.2 to get a better flash player. I've yet to see someone actually get 10.1 working on 2.1, and I don't think it will ever happen since Adobe has said they use APIs available in 2.2 only. I don't know if you can update Flash Lite to get at least a little better experience, but I didn't find anything with a quick search.
Hi everyone, this is my first post and I recently bought my first Android device (yes, yes, I'm a 100% noob). BTW, I also did the search (google and xda) for this problem, without results.
This is the story:
- I few weeks ago I bought my new Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi (p1010), with Android 2.2 Froyo, and it is not rooted or flashed with some rom.
- Search on the market for an official version of Skype, but no, at this time there was no one.
- Then, I find one on getjar, works ok, but only audio.
- A few days ago I uninstalled the getjar version an install another one, version 2.0.0.45-signed, from villanrom, announced with video support, but at the moment of accepted a video-call the application always fails and closed.
- After that, I uninstalled it, and wait for a new and better one.
- Here is the problem: I have tried with another versions (villanrom 2.0.0.47sig, xda-Froyo-droidrx, the first one from getjar, and others, even the "official one" 2.0.0.47 from the market) but always I got the same error "Out of space: Skype could not be installed. Free up space and try again"
- I can instal other apps (apk and market) without any problem.
- My Summary is: Program 438MB/1.87GB, Personal data 10.00MB/69.77MB, Internal memory 4.38GB/12.74GB", with NO External SD card.
Please, I need some help to resolve this problem, before doing anything drastic, like an hard-reset
Best regards and thanks

You can try to run Titanium Backup, to see whether there still is some kind of skype installation on your tablet. If Titanium Backup can find something, then try to uninstall/wipe data/force remove app (all in Titanium Backup).
Another thing u could try is to use Root Explorer, and browse to data/app/ and see if there is still some skype in there (com.skype.raider-1.apk?). If there is, delete it. Also go to data/data/ and see if there is still something from skype there (perhaps com.skype.raider?). If there is, delete it.
Finally you could try to clear your dalvik cache. Usually that's done in clockworkmod, but as I'm not sure if you have that on your tablet, check here.
If none of that helps, I would backup some important stuff and then do a factory reset. Or better yet, put a nice new rom on there (either official or unofficial, no idea what's out there for the galaxy tab). At least go to gingerbread (android 2.3.x), or honeycomb (android 3.x) if that's available for your tab.
good luck!
PS; as for skype, i would recommend to use droidrx's mod. He's making great progress and most likely very soon there will be some kind of "final" and bug-free version.
Many many thanks.
My tab it´s not rooted yet (I think if I do that then lose guaranty)... I will try to do a factory reset or firmware update first... Only if that fail, then I will apply the root solution... BTW, wich one it is the better method/app for root a g-tab (with the un-root option included)??
Best regards

Just did a 5 minute research, and apparently for some people there is already an official gingerbread update available. I would rather do that then a factory reset at this point. Gingerbread is a much better version of android than you have at the moment.
Rooting your galaxy tab is dead easy apparently, read here.
If you're thinking about installing a custom rom, see the Galaxy tab android development section.
Yep, but the update it's not available for everyone... I got installed the lastest version of Kies (2.0.1.11053_99), and it's shows "Current fw version = Latest = PDA:KB4 / CSC:KB4 (CHO)".. May be because my country (Chile).
SuperOnceClick looks fine, but with this issue
Note:
I have tried unrooting the device and rooting it again and this is not working. so this is to let you know that you will have to reflash the firmware to root the device if you unroot it again using this software and try to root until some one finds a solution

Thanks again, I hope that's Gingerbread will be available soon for me.

Yea, that means that you can still get your tablet back to the factory state (including root), in case you wanna bring it back for warranty. Which is probably never going to happen anyway.
So my advice would be just to flash a gingerbread 2.3.4 rom, as i've noticed you don't even need to have root to do this. Who knows how long chile will wait with distributing a new android version?
no te preocupes!
EDIT: just be careful with one thing, i've noticed not all customs roms will work on your tablet since you have a wifi only tablet. keep that in mind when looking for a rom and make sure that the rom will be compatible.
Apparently I'm not the only one with this specific problem... It's look like some bad install/uninstall process with the "VillainRom" version on the GTab.
Google search:
villainrom Skype with Video Support for Various Devices... #55
(Sorry, but the system says that I'm too noob to publish external links.. )
Sadly, they have not released a solution yet

OK, I´m not the first one with this specific problem, but some says even with root they can´t delete skype directory from system.

Solution:
Run terminal and type:
"rm_-R_/data/data/ com.skype.raider" _ = space
i failed the oparation a few times until i got it..
After that i'v downloaded Skype again, but this time it installed successfully,
Im very disappointed with Skype team failing to fix the problem and having there paying customers to Root there devices !
Jerome,
I guess you are in the same boat i am.
I went to Chile in June and bought a P1010 at Falabella store. My FW is the same as yours and there's no ROM to upgrade (official or custom).
There's no development for it here. Also the video skype is for the GB not froyo.
The only tweaks i could do was the root (z4root) and the OCLF.
Sorry for this bad news... But at least i loved to visit your country. The Piscosawer, the "CONGRO" fish and the "Cafe con Piernas" 8))

Hi,
Am running the stock rom, am rooted and have CWM as well...but it's running like poo. I believe that's the technical term
Screen transition, lag on opening apps, FC here and there, very sluggish overall. I'm not sure if it's all the adding/removing of apps or just the factory junk that's on it (although have removed the Samsung 'Hub' apps via Titanium).
I haven't downloaded the update yet, because read it removes root.
To 'clean' up my problems, and get up to date, would it make sense to:
- factory reset
- install factory update
- install cwm
- root
Thanks!
errr....anyone?
I spent the better part of the weekend rooting, flashing, unrooting, flashing...
It seems to be a fairly common occurrence to turn the tab into fecal matter (sounds more technical). Mine was laggy, jittery, and didn't want to wake up. I flashed it back to stock, which fixed it, but I lost root and haven't been able to get it back. Exhausted, I left it there and will try again tonight.
Curiously, I had mixed success with Odin and Heimdall. Odin seem to need the Sammy USB drivers. Heimdall wants its own. Heimdall installed Super User. Odin let me root so I could install from zip.
I still haven't got it all figured out, but it sure gets tiring rebooting the tab, the PC, the dog and reinstalling the drivers, downloading firmware, yadda, yadda...
Here's hoping one of the very talented developers here will come up with an idiot-resistant script for us (me).
It would be more helpful if you stated 7" or 10.1 tabs. Rooted my 10.1 once, after first reboot opened CWM and reboot a second time , all is well. Debloated w/ rom toolbox and installed apex launcher, sweet as can be.
Pp.

Ah. Sorry. I have Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) stuck in my brain.
Could they have picked an uglier name?
Hi Newby here!
Samsung Galaxy 7 GT-P1000
I somehow stumbled my through rooting my stock tab using odin. failed to install a few Roms for Jellybean, but eventually manager to get AOKP build 38 (android 4.04) running. Like an idiot though, the Gapps file was a newer one intended for Jellybean Rom. It went on, however I now get the 'Unfortunately, Andoid Keyboard has stopped' message. I have looked around and tried the force stop and clear cache, but sadly no fix.
what do I do now? can I just install a more recent ROM over the top?
can i install a rom thats not AOKP now I have AOKP on there?
I basically want Jellybean on my tab rather than ICS.
Can you provide me a link to the Rom and relevant Gapps Jellybean, and is it the just the same process as the initial ones I put on?
OR, can I just put an older version of Gapps on and it will resolve my issue. (I want jellybean but can live with ICS if working properly)?
Sorry for the volume of questions... I am just at a loss of what to do as I dont know what I can and cant do.
For the record I dont have Nandroid or bootstrap on here. they were not mentioned in the tutorial and I had already cleared everything off my tab so wasnt worried about losing anything on it.
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment...
As I sit here now I managed to resolve both issues. I just managed to locate and flash the correct Gapps. reset/wipe, del cache, delete dalvik cache, run akop and run replaced Gapps and hey presto.. ICS running smoothly on my GT7 P1000. Runs snapseed, chrome browser just fine. All my social apps are far better in pics than gingerbread. Loving it. Many hours lost on the steep learning curve.
One question remains.. can I flash a from on here by a different mod? Cost I have seen jellybean for the P1000. Don't know whether to quit while I'm ahead, or now I'm getting the gist, mod to paranoid androids jellybean.
Hello guys!
Recently i bought Samsung galaxy tab pro 12.2 (sm-p900 wifi) and i rooted it, before root pen was working perfectly.
But now i can't use pen anymore, it detects i took it out, but i cant do anything with it.
I did complete unroot, wipe, re-formatted and installed fresh stock rom. Still pen wont work. Also all settings under "pen" are ticket, so it's not problem in the settings itself.
Thank you guys for any ideas or tip!
p.s: just noticed, its been almost 2 years since i registered here and this is my 1.st post thats cause usually i find answers and dont writte myself
sorry, not sure what to say, rooted and rommed mine and mine has had 0 issues with the pen not working..not sure what to tell you you try to Odin back to stock and ensure it works?then, try use CFAutoroot again and test? try to odin back as something might have happened as just unrooting may not have fixed
From my Fired-up Note Pro 12.2!

Reflash to stock firmware with odin, boot in see if it works. If it does then flash rom. If it still works yay. If it doesn't it could be something hardware.

At first, thank you for answers and help.
Yesterday i installed fresh original firmware, but the problem persists. It could be hardware, but main problem is its old like 1 week and i already rooted it, so my warranty is gone. I hate when that happens :-/
Everything else works fine.
I also thought of upgrading firmware from NC4 to latest NI2 or what is it exacly, actually i will go and try it right now.
Maybe it has to do something with TWRP recovery that i installed, as i read some had problems after instaling it too - i dont know.
