Guys, a pretty strange thing just happened.
I'm on Iconia A500 tablet with 32G , so space isn't a problem.
I'm trying to reinstall my saved .apk backups that I did with App Backup and Restore.
Problem is that INSTALL tab is not selectable, I can only chose Cancel.
If I press on install tab nothing happens, it's like it is in grey, not.."pushable, meanwhile Cancel tab is working..
Tried to install directly from market, ALL APPS installing, problem only with .apk saved...
Anyone ? +100 to the saviour!
OK, found out is was Screen Filter....
Thanks!

This solved a problem for me!
just install directly from sdcard,instead of using apps..
Do you have backup in the same place as your app manager kept as backup?

Hi all, I installed Skype successfully from market several days ago, and I uninstalled it. Now I want to install Skype again from market, but always failed. Then I went to Skype site to download Skype Android apk, but the process said "I don't have enough space" and won't let me install.
I am pretty sure I have enough space for my Tab. Can someone suggest a way to solve or explore this issue? Thanks.
Same problem.I have more than 10gb in internal and external card
Is there any idea what is going on?
Same problem here. Uninstalled skype on a friends phones then attempted to reinstall and have been getting the same error. I tried to manually install skype using Astro. I also removed 100mb in apps. Can't find any solutions on the web but it seems that many people have been having this problem.
However, the problem is on the Droid Pro.
it did the same to me also. i kept deleting apps left and right til i got down to only a couple 3rd party apps left. i finally did a factory reset, and it installed just fine. dont know why, but thats what i had to do to get it reinstalled.
If you can get the apk from the newest firmware, then youll be able to install it. I did the same when I first got my Tab as Swype didnt fit the screen properly, but after JK5 it fits perfectly.

I reset to the factory settings than it worked again. As a hint don't make update, uninstall previous one.

Anyone know where to get the APK for the swipe that fits the screen of the galaxy tab?
Can't reinstall
Any word on the reinstall "memory" error - Can't reinstall
You must manualy delete skype directory from system. Your phone must be rooted. data/data/com.skype.raider just delete this directory from your system
No desire to root (not that techy), there must be another way
Edit:
OK running z4mod for the P1010 unit, Temp root, all aps off the SD card and USB Debug on - Now waiting as it says "Running exploit in order to obtain root access.."
Hope I don't screw this up!
Edit 2:
Says Temp rooted but can't find the specified Skype file????????????????

All I can say is a repeat from other boards on this issue:
When you uninstall Skype it leaves this file on your unit
data/data/com.skype.raider
It is said that if your root the unit then delete this file can reinstall Skype
However, I have rooted (temporarily with z4root) and searched for the file with Root Explorer but can't find it and still can't re-install Skype. So, not sure there is a solution, at least for me and my P1010 GT
Use root explorer by speed software. Make sure you select w/r at the top the search for Skype.
You have to be rooted. I never tried the temp root on Z4.
This is how I fixed my tap so I know of works.

It shows Mount R/O at the top, how to switch to rootfs (r/w)?

There should be a grey button you canpush and toggle between w/r and r/o
I also have the paid/full version of this app.

Market place. If you have the free version go to it in the market sand click related. Should show the full version.

Skype file found, deleted and Skype re-installed
Thanks much
doesnt work for me
I tried the method with "Root Explorer" but it doesnt work for me because my phone is not rooted. Anyone ideas how to solve the problem and install skype again?
thanks
A factory reset should in thoery wipe your data clean. Do it and try reinstalling skype.
Hi, have 2 new Samsung nexus S (for myself and my wife), trying to install on both the CM7 after everything formated and cleaned and for the 3rd time after awhile of working (few minutes) the download from anywhere is failing - in the market every download sends an error that media process is failing and then the download is stuck (happening also in any download).

go to the main settings, application settings, manage application, all, market, press uninstall update, and press clear data/cache. did that help?

have you tried fixing permissions? in the terminal app on your phone(included in cm) type...
su(press enter)
fix_permissions(press enter)
also, if you have root explorer, delete the app files in /cache/download/
yeap, have been there, wiped also all cache

wiping cache doesnt wipe this. you got to manually delete those files if they are in that folder.
also..
go to main settings, applications, manage applications, all, download manager, clear data/cache.

stupid question.. have you tried redownloading the rom and gapps, then flashing them again?
yes
for 3 time. installing CM7, then GAPPS, then switching to Hebrew, working with the device for awhile then its beginning...
i'll try to track the things i do now to see what can cause it.
I think the problem could be compatibility, just found that my devices are I9023 model and not the I9020 that probably the roms are built on..
When booting into bootloader i see device id is I9020 while it should be I9023 as i see in the back of my my device (behind the battery) could be that causing problems?
Every time i try to update the theme on MIUI i keep getting "New font library may cause some apps to display incorrectly. reboot to fix this issue", when I hit ok sometimes it says applied successfully. However when I reboot nothing happens at all, its the standard theme and thats that. I've re wiped and formatted everything and reinstalled and still nothing. Can somebody help me out with this?

Try creating a "theme" folder under data/system with rootexplorer, so it should read data/system/theme.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
So i have no system folder anywhere....i went under data and created a folder called theme and still nothing...same problem

It's not on the SD card or internal storage, it's on the phone itself. You have to use an app like Root Explorer to browse your phone's file system.

Hi guys
this is my first thread in xda and I'm quite new in here. The story is I jumped from galaxy s5 to padfone s which I'm quite happy with.
I rooted it immediately and started to remove some useless Asus bloatwares. After that I realized that im not able to edit or add any contacts.
I was able to see them though. So I tried to install third party apps like contacts+ and dialer+. They were working fine but I still had the same problem so I thought maybe the contacts storage is corrupted so I uninstalled it and downloaded another one... But im not able to install the apk. It gives me the apk not installed error.
And now I'm not able to use contacts dialer or even Gmail
any helps please!

Try to save your contacts on your sim card. Or try to install Asus Pasfone stock rom again and see if it works.

I have all of my contacts backed up on Google and gcloud. If install the stock Rome all of my settings and customisations will erase. I was wondering if I can install contacts storage and makes it work somehow!

Thanks. I downloaded the latest rom from Asus and flashed it. Everything is back to normal now. I lost all my exposed settings though :cyclops:
These forums have been invaluable to me. You guys amaze me. If you could help with this, I would be forever grateful.
Phone: Verizon Galaxy S3, rooted, CM10.2
Problem: I have suddenly run into a problem where only some of my apps (1) do not retain any of their data after a reboot and (2) do not stay frozen (I've tried freezing with Titanium, Lucky Patcher, Root Uninstaller Pro, etc.) after rebooting (they do keep their data and remain frozen until I power my device off). ONLY the apps I installed on or after about two weeks ago have this problem (i.e. apps installed before that do not have this problem). So basically every time I reboot my phone apps installed over the last two weeks look like I've never used them (for example, a notepad app that I used extensively before rebooting shows no notes).
Solutions Attempted (without success obviously):
1.) Uninstalling problematic apps, rebooting phone and reintalling
2.) Doing a full factory reset via CWM recovery, wiping all caches, and restoring a nandroid backup that was taken before this problem arose.
Question: Is there anything that I can do to resolve this problem or do I need to get a new phone?
Thanks,
Jenna

That's odd... I use titanium backup myself and they stay frozen unless I defrost them. Do you use the free version or the paid version of titanium backup?

That's odd then. I also use the pro version. Maybe instead of freezing them rename the apk files to .bak instead of apk. That might help

Not really no, your not deleting the file, it remains in the system or whatever folder it's in

Thanks again for your help! Ok so all I have to do is go into data/app folder and change the problematic apps name from "xyz.apk" to "xyz.bak"?

So I tried the re-naming of the problematic apps from ,apk to .bak (and then rebooted), but the apps didn't appear in my apps list after rebooting and when I went into the google play store it showed that it was not installed -- am I doing something wrong (I used root explorer to do this)? Or is there anything else you could possibly think of to fix this problem? It's driving me crazy!
