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 Guys,
I was using the stock 4.2.2 firmware for the T428 and Sky Go was showing on Playstore, I installed it and it prompted for the details to logon... (did not have an account at the time to test but it launched fine)
I have downgraded to 4.1.1 and now SkyGo does not show on playstore.... I downloaded SkyGo 2.1 apk but it opens then closes with error (unfortunately this application had to closed) This happens before I can add any details to logon.
any one got a working apk for the 4.1.1 firmware?
Thanks

OK so I reverted back to 4.2.2 and sky go launches but the device gives an error message when logging in:
"This device is not supported"
Is there any way to spoof the T428 so SkyGo thinks it is a supported device?
Finless ROM

Tried that already (Finless ROM 1.5a) and then tried changing build.prop to UK Local,
Sky go was not visible on Playstore, so I installed the Hacked verison and Skygo showed up, so installed it... after that I installed Voodoo OTA unroot, to hide the root... That unrooted fine (use an app to test and it said unrooted), SkyGo loaded all the TV shows to choose but still found it as rooted when trying to play something back, I also installed "Hide HDMI" but still the same...
I think I need to have a Custom rom made with UK local and spoofing to a Samsung device with no root.
I have started a topic about it as I do not know where to start... after looking at Youtube im baffled...
I do not care about Root access to be honest, just want sky go to work
I have a Samsung Infusion 4G (ATT), that I rooted and tried to install 4.4.2 Beanstalk. It said it didn't take and I ended
up with a stripped down version without "Android Market" or "Play Store". I want to install at least the apps I need to
get Rom Manager going again....any ideas
NOOBIE to phones
I have been searching, but haven't found an answer yet.
Thank you for any help or advice.
As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
