thank you for this. Once I've done it I'll let you know how I got on.

I have just put this on SGSiii and it works perfectly. Thanks.

Not working for me... got _test.zip... is there a non test version?

[Banjaxed]

That is the file that I used and it worked. I plugged the phone into laptop and created a folder labelled SkyGo on sd card then pasted "skygo test 0.1.5.apk" into it.This is the same one linked to in RichHs post above.

It depends which laptop I use as to what file the link downloads. On my IBM I get a .zip file (deal with it as Banjaxed suggests above) but on my HP I get an .apk which you can copy to your SD card and run it to install. God knows why different laptops download a different file !!!!!

still not working for me... ics 4.0.3 alliance rom. can get news/sign in, but nothing else. have tried temp unroot before and after installing, no differnce. any idea if a kor csc woud affect this, or freeze via TB all drm related entries??

[RichH]

There are issues with some ROM's. Suggest you read through the thread on XDA to see if others have any success on your ROM....

As you may have found out by now, Sky Go is no longer supported by ICS or on any rooted SII. The guys at XDA have been working on this and a hack is available. I've tried it and it works on my SII running 4.0.3. Thought I'd share it with anyone interested.

Click to download .apk and install from file manager.
You will have to remove any previous install of SkyGo first.....

I've done a bit more research and if you are rooted you will need to temp hide root with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=search_result

Thanks to your excellent workaround i have been able to view skygo on my samsung galaxy tablet and also my galaxy s2. Two days later sky pull the plug and block me from using either. Thanks sky i only pay you £80. a month.

Hmmmm, I have been using a certain version of sky go from XDA on my SGSII with ICS for some time and it always worked fine.

Tried to use it at work last night and I kept getting a message that I MUST update the app to gain access. As it wasn't working I did this and then got the dreaded 'This device is not supported' message.

I must try another version or go downgrade from ICS. To be honest, I don't like ICS on my SGSII. It is slower than Gingerbread.



***EDIT*****

Just noticed that the version I was using which no longer works is the version above in post 39.
