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))

Not sure if I'm in the right place, but I cant post under the specific rom thread (post count)
Anyways, I'm running a clean install of Jelly "Beans" Build 5. I updated busybox because it was requested by another program and now my phone wont get past the pink boot logo.
So I have two questions...
How can I fix this?
If it involves restoring/reflashing rom, is there any way to get a number from my recent text messages that didn't yet sync with my online google contacts?
Thanks!
+1
Had this exact problem, I'm on Synergy 118 and tried 6 different times to update busybox each time same problem hangs at bootscreen. Only thing I could do was restore and not update busybox. so far everything works as long as I don't update to the latest busybox, when an app tells me it's out of date I just ignore it. Would love a solution to this!
Just dirty flash your ROM and don't update your busy box this time
Sent from my SGS3 running Eclipse 2.1
that's what I ended up trying, and it resolved the problem.
Thanks!
hi.
this is my first post and hope to get help, i am kinda noobish in android root files and system because i had a jailbroken iphone so i know alot about it but now im confused in android
so here is a problem installing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953705
it says:
- Flash modded framework files corresponding to your firmware
so i didnt know how to do that so i considered moving the files from inside it to /system/framework and /system/app
is that right? if no (pretty sure ), than what i should do?
than i installed the app that they said to install, but when i click it, i doesnt work, it just stops "unfortunatly, the app MultiWindow Control stopped"
so what i have done wrong?
now the multiwindow not working at all
note: i have galaxy note 2, jellybean 4.1.2 Build: LK7 , rooted, odexed
im sorry for posting it here, i wanted to post it directly in the thread but i need 10 posts, and i have nothing to say for now to reach the 10 posts
hope someone helps me..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed this by reseting the phone to factory and flashed stock firmware (4.1.2) than rooted, than flashed the multiwindow.zip
all that after learning what is and how to flash.. i did flash many things before but i didnt realize what i was doing was flashing..
Hey guys,
i rly hope you can help me !
Today i wanted to install Endomondo on my Sensation, but Play Store said this app is incompatible.
Tried to manually download the app and install from SD, but had'nt worked.
It's not only Endomondo but other Apps for example runtastic, Adidas micoach.
Have only searched for sportsapps so i dont know if there are also other incompatible apps.
Some days ago i switched rom from CM 10 to OpenSensation 2.
i also used KGS Utility to install cwm6.
Got trouble (boot loop) with cwm6 so i got back to cwm 5.
With cwm 5 i installed OpenSensation2 and used it without problems.
Until i saw now these incompatible apps.
Dont know if this is usefull, but these were the last changes at my system.
Tried to reinstall Opensensation1
Tried to reinstall CM10
Switched to 4ext now.
Changed my firmware from 1.x to 3.33.x
Nothing helped !
I read in some forums that often a change of the ppi can be the reason for such problems, but never changed ppi of my display.
to my system:
S-off
Supercid
Firmware now: 3.33.x
dont know which infos are usefull for you, just say it !
Hope you can help me guys.
Dont know what else i can do, after i completely flashed a new rom...
Hi guys,
Well, after having my P5100 (Samsung G. Tab 2, 10.1) with a stock rom, I've decided to change it for a Cyanogen stable rom, dated of 2013-09-23 19:17:17. Stock rom (4.2.2) was very slow, with lots of lag on it.
I have done everything as the "manual" says, and installed the above mentioned rom. It became more fluid, and more simple. Perfect.
But i am having here an issue, that I don't know how to solve it.
The thing is that I usually read newspapers on my Tab. This works as it follows:
1. we download an app of the newspaper,
2. every time we have a new edition we receive a notification by email, saying that the new issue is available for download;
3. we open the app and start downloading;
4. after downloading, it starts installing the newspaper (since it is a bit interactive and not just a .pdf)
Since I changed to Cyanogen, with the same 4.2.2 as I had on stock rom, when the newspapper installation comes to end, the app simply closes with error. From that moment, I can't even open the app since it simply will close again with error.
Any ideas how to solve this that doesn't require getting back to stock rom?
Many thanks! :good:

Hi there,
I've tried what you suggested, the error still happens.
I really don't know why it runs on Android 4.2.2 stock, and don't on Android 4.2.2 cyanogen.
Thanks anyway. If you remember anything else to suggest, I would appreciate.
