Hey guys I just rooted my daughter's nubi last night. Everything works well except gmail keeps on force closing and I can't get Google plus or voice from the market.

Before I start getting flamed, I have searched and read through several pages of the thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
What I do when I have this problem is sideload via downloading an apk addon/extension for my browser. This allows you to go to google play and download the actual apk. I then just push it and install it via adb. Some compatibility problems can exist due to the settings in build.prop and others have reported that some play store apps just simply don't work.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] sagerox:
Has anyone else had the problem with google plus? Is there a different gapps I should use.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
For those with gmail app FC, all I did was go to Play Store via computer. Download to Nabi, that's all.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] sagerox:
Tried that but it still fc. Im really more concerned with getting google +, so I can do hangouts with my kids when im out of town.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Look for Google+ .apk (ICS compatible) since Nabi OS is 4.0

Did you uninstall the gmail FC then go settings> apps>Google framework> force close> clear data. Then try play store via computer.

Just checking and throwing out ideas. Did you go into tablet settings/accounts/Google and make sure that gmail has a check in the Box? That turns on sync for gmail, this is the only time that I had gmail FC?

Do we copy all the folders from the root directory to sdcard2 or just from sdcard1?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Just from the sdcard tosdcard2. Never fool with root folders

Clearing the framework fixed gmail on one device. I'd try that. I also cleared cache and data for gmail. Works fine now.

I know this is sidetracking the whole thread, but I thought I saw someone mention the Nabi2 having GPS, but I can't seem to find the specs if it does or not. I looked on the official page, not there, but some sites list it as having GPS.

Can an owner chime in on this?

Due to no GPS in the NABI 2, I recall one user tethering their NABI 2 to another device so it could do navigation. Probably within this very thread. . .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:

The easiest way is to use a Bluetooth GPS receiver tethered to the Nabi.

Here is the official specs on it.

Thanks, that did it! I did also force stop and clear data on google service framework, but I am pretty sure it was because the gmail was not checked to sync under accounts.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Don't want to side track this any further but......

Let's not confuse the Nabi 2 with the Nabi XD. Both different but interestingly having the same CPU which brought my question before of trying to look for anyone that purchased one from an early release of the Nabi XD in December to possibly try Jelly Bean from it on the Nabi 2.

Main difference between the two that I have found is the Nabi XD comes with / additionally has:

1. 10.1-Inch IPS 1366x768 HD Capacitive Touch Screen

2. Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

3. Aluminum Body

4. Integrated Silicone Keyboard Cover

5. GPS

6. NFC ( Near Field Communications )

7. “Smart” 3-D UI

Anyone heard yet if a Nabi section will be made? Would be nice.......

Glad that fixed gmail. Yes drove me crazy too but I have had that happen even on a certified Google device, no check mark in sync gmail.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BlackNTan:
Not sure if I did something wrong, but this is what i'm seeing. It appears rooted (I have SuperSU and verified root using root checker), I have google play working, but the only thing that i'm confused is... If I do "adb root", I get the following message: "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". Did I miss something?

Does anyone have another player they recommend so the kids can watch their movies?

I have also used XBMC on it without any major issues(still beta).

Posting a heads up here since this is where most Nabi 2 info is posted to. I kicked off a new thread, [NABI2] Free up Internal Storage - Basic Tips. True to the title, it's very basic, but hopefully will help others, especially those newer to the Android ecosystem.

I urge others to get their own threads going, whatever can be contributed. With substantial content, the Nabi 2 community can get their own subforum. Have at it!

Did anyone ever figure out how to get the gallery to work in Nabi mode? I have read this thread through time and time again and can't find it. I know I could download the backup and it work with that, but the person I am doing this for has already re-loaded all of their programs twice. I tried to just create a new Gallery2.apk and place it in system/apps but that didn't do it. Any other ideas?

I just went into Play and downloaded Gallery ICS, you will then see it in add or minus apps. Put a check mark in it and it will be in Kids Mode, you will have 2 gallery in parents app drawer but they both work the same so not problem. This is the quickest and easiest fix. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Hi all

Quick question -- I never updated my son's Nabi 2 when we first got it, before rooting with the script from the first post back in early October.

The tablet is a Nabi2-NV7A currently running Android 4.0.4 with kernel version 3.1.10-00179-g0c91125-dirty, build number IMM76L, product version 1.9.12-release-keys.

When I first ran the update script, I had a repeatable issue with Wi-Fi dying after rooting, so I rooted using option two from the script as it then was. (That option was called "Install recovery and just root current rom".) Then I installed Gapps including the Play store, changed to an alternate launcher, and installed my apps.

Today, the Nabi 2 has finally announced that there is an update. I am concerned that applying the update might break my install, so I don't want to update until somebody confirms it's safe for me to do so, and what (if anything) I need to do first.

In the interim, what can I do to prevent the update notification appearing? It shows in the system bar's notifications area, and my son could easily tap it there, prompting the update to start installing. I want to squelch that notification, but I can't so far find the FOTA folder to delete the update file.

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
in parent mode have you tried settings/about tablet/update/ turn off the button that has "perform a periodic check for OTA update' ?

the other thing is click settings from the home screen then the tools has a on and off for 'notifactions'.

hth
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Ah great, thanks. Hadn't dared trying that as I didn't know if hitting "Update" from About Tablet would start the update installing...

That squelched the notification, but I'd still like to update to get any bug fixes etc., if anybody can confirm it's safe for me to do so, and what process I need to follow. (See my previous post for details, folks.)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
only time i updated was to 1.9.37 (first)was before i rooted ... so i am not sure what will happen ... maybe someone else knows.

ps.. you could always do a TWRP back up of your current state . if the update messes you up then you can go back in and restore .
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Per all the instructions, you were to update to 1.9.37 BEFORE you rooted. You are missing software improvements by not updating and could have problems later. I rooted and then took update 1.9.37 as I was rooted before there was a 1.9.37. All I did was lose root, the Nabi updated fine. I would recommend that you update to the newier software and then go into tablet setting and ABOUT Tablet, check for the other updates manually until you have 1.9.37.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Those instructions weren't there in October, when I rooted. I followed the instructions as they were at that time. I just never bothered to figure out how to update once the update came out, until now when it prompted me to do so.

OK, thanks for the info. Sounds like I'm probably safe to update. To restore root, I just run the script again, right? (Well, the current version of it...)

Did you have gapps installed before you updated?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfballz:
Anyone else having trouble opening youtube? Rooted and gapps installed but youtube will not open.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] wolfballz:
Apparently i'm on an old version but when i go to settings and download update it does download an ota update but fails when it reboots to install it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
It will fail if you are using TWRP as a recovery, you have to install the original recovery.img to the device for OTA updates.

Yes I had gapps installed and they still all worked after the update, I just lost root and TWRP recovery. I didn't have the new gapps that fixed the android updating as it wasn't out yet. I must have updated to 1.9.37 in late October or so and was rooted then. Some have said that they didn't lose TWRP and just booted into TWRP recovery and flashed root.zip. Some had supersu checked to keep root or another root keeper apk and didn't lose root or TWRP. But I would defiantly do all updates to 1.9.37

This thread has slowed down...

Got a new tool for you guys to play with.

Nabi Lab!

EDIT: I found a bug today. During lock screen modding the 1st prompt tells you image must be 1440x903, and the second 1400x903. The proper size is 1440 x 903

haha

Drivers.

Root, backup, gapps,

Return to stock condition.

TWRP recoveries.(new symlinked partitions) see if this fixes some of the last of the TWRP errors for different Nabi's

General Information display

Lockscreen modding(Saves the zip to folder besides installing, hopefully makes it easier for people to do it, and we can get some sharing of lockscreens)

This is very much alpha. If you play with it you have to have a backup, until bugs are worked out.

There is a lite version and a full version. Only difference is lite doesn't have a full 1.9.37 stock backup, so it's 100MB, versus 1.2GB. Any fixes will be small patches 1MB at the most. Full version is really only for those needing to go back to stock and don't have a backup.

Lite: https://www.box.com/s/z8f6ibz05h22jzm4uxx4 93MB

Lite: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B024tOntNFbbMU95N1g3c2tXSHc 93MB

Full: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B024tOntNFbbU0E5cm1GdFUxRFE 1.2GB

I have worked through a restore to stock, flash Gapps, Root, and make backup. Installed TWRP. Changed lockscreen. Installed drivers. So I believe it's safe at this point to have a few people test. Read the directions. I'll upload a video showing it in action if you're hesitant. I'd like a few testers to work through the screens. Plug in multiple Android devices and see if it detects the conflict. It doesn't always stop you if you have 2 devices plugged in, just see if it's warning you. Try a few things out and see what bugs there are.

Just letting people test drive it and make sure it's not bug filled, before I go making a new topic. I will be making one, stuff gets lost enough in this huge thread. When I am trying to remember what someone said, it's hard to find.

All ideas are welcome. I have it detect the Nabi version, as far as I can tell that's a pretty clear indication of the different versions. ie US 1.9.37, UK 1.9.35/36, etc. so we could collect the different partition structures. I was thinking of having a section at the least pull alot of information from /proc and send it to a log file.. Then people could post the relevant information when having issues.

Thanks for the feedback. If there are any issues(especially typo's and diction, I'm the master of messing that up) let me know. Or any thing to make it more useful for people too.

I found a typo in Nabi Lab for the image lockscreen size. At first it says 1440x903 and the second prompt 1400x903. Correct size is 1440x903.

Here is the patch if you have already downloaded. http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/NabiLabPatch1.zip 7KB

Just overwrite NabiLab.bat

TWRP

Nabi Lab has the new symlinked/dynamic partitions version of TWRP, I think that is alot of the "data and sdcard" errors people get on installs, if anyone has any issues talk about it over in the Nabi TWRP thread.
