Custom Skin Cannot be Chosen and / or Appears Black

my wife plays mcpe on Lenovo Tab 3 - 850F to play mcpe. I updated to 1.05.54, now 1.1.0.9 and when i load the game and select a custom skin there is a black silhouette after you have browsed and chosen your picture.
As of note there is also a separate issue with XBox sign in as it prompts login each time MCPE is started... On my tablet which is a Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50 the images work fine. We have uninstalled the game after backing up worlds and delete the mcpe folder and rebooted the tablet.
