We'll was bored and updated one of the nabi's. The 2311to246minimal.zip works fine on nabi's that have flashed minimalnabi.zip! Then continued to flash new TWRP with 2.4.6 kernel update was flawless for me.

On a side note I restored back to 2.3.11 then flashed minimalnabi.zip, continued to update 2311to246minimal.zip and then updated the TWRP.

Nabi is updated now but lost my lockscreen mod was restored to stock, and for new forum members don't flash the 2.3.11 lockscreen mod on a 2.4.6 update, this will more than likely keep you in a bootloop New lockscreen mods will have to be done again. Luckily I made a tutorial so anyone wants a custom lockscreen go follow this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2595695

minimalnabi.zip I have to take a peek at my updater-script, if none of the file structure has changed I believe you can use this on the 2.4.6 but not sure. When I update second nabi I will try the minimalnabi.zip after I have updated to 2.4.6, will keep everyone posted on this.

Thanks [MENTION=4939189]aicjofs[/MENTION] and to all contributers of nabi forum
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
You're very welcome. I'm sure katinatez will make a new minimal nabi or verify the old one works. Not sure if it reclaims space though, depends on if it's copied to data or is launched from addon.

So glad it worked, I know some people had talked about making a custom script adding a few more apps in which case all bets are off. I just used your script as a guide to removing apps to be updated that are no longer on the Nabi after running minimal Nabi. Still too boring around here we need a custom ROM :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n3wt:
This isn't a custom ROM but it's pretty fun to play with... http://www.wdowiak.me/debian-kit/debian-kit_p00.html

Yes I agree very boring here. Trying to build Philz recovery and this is my error on compiling

make: *** No rule to make target 'device/fuhu/mt799/kernel', needed by '/home/john/android/cyanogenmod/out/target/product/mt799/kernel'. Stop.

Well going to sleep will try again tomorrow

This is to liven the thread up a bit
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
I got past the error, it was a noob error on my part. I compiled CWM 6.0.5.0 recovery. May have Philz recovery tonight, cant do much right now with my kids at the moment.

Philz Recovery

Have to work on a couple of bugs but here is an update on Philz recovery.

​

Getting closer to another recovery for Nabi, this is built on 2.4.6 kernel which is the newest update. So get busy on updating.

:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Haven't seen that look on a Nabi since I built CWM as a work around for the original TWRP touchscreen issue and then figured out the touchscreen issue a few hours later. Looks good. Wonder if it launches Aroma any different.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
That was my question too. I try launching it in TWRP but it's completely off. I can modify the DP but it's still off. By chance did you set TWRP to show in only half the screen? I was curious......

( nevermind..... I found out why in your TWRP thread LOL. )

The DP can be changed easily adding a couple more if one wanted to or adding the specific setting in the config file. I am also wondering if Aroma follows the DP / Screen settings of CWMR/PhilZ Touch and automatically sets to that. 3 was said to be default.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
ok tried minimalnabi.zip file on newest update and it works. But now I have the no wifi issue on 1 tablet (this was before the update)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] arvati:
Dear DarkAngel

flashing with file 2311to246minimal.zip works afterall.

But it throws on error message saying something is wrong with these last lines of your script:

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/build.prop");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/app/Superuser.apk");

I would try to correct but I am a little confused the correct would be this:

set_perm(0, 0, 06644, "/system/build.prop");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/app/Superuser.apk");

Or this?

set_perm(0, 0, 0644, "/system/build.prop");

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/xbin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/app/Superuser.apk");

Or other one?

PS i tried to test myself but something is going on when i zip the file back and twrp do not recognize the zip....

Thanks, arvati
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I don't get why it's throwing an error for build.prop but the last 2 would mean you didn't have superuser installed, or not installed where it usually goes. The whole update flashed though as that is just the last few lines.

Permissions are right. You need the suid bit(extra number there) for superuser, don't need it for build.prop. The error is likely because it can't find those files.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iherbivore:
I hope someone can help me. I am lost. I wanted to run the minimal nabi flash. I started with a stock 246 nabi. I downloaded the "NABI2JBTWRP271.zip (fastboot)" listed above and tried to install it via fastboot. I don't think I am doing it right.

1)I have an amd64 windows 8 pc

2)I followed the instructions to allow the pc to install unsigned drivers.

3)I installed pdanet. (twice, first time I chose samsung devices, second time I chose unknown)

4)On the nabi I turned on unknown sources and usb debugging.

5)I connected the nabi and adb was able to see it.

6)I did adb reboot-bootloader

7)i did fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

step 7 seemed to work, it said it worked, but it seemed kinda fast; wohle thing completed in 2.x seconds

I can't seem to boot into TWRP. I am under the impression that I should be able to at this point. I have tried adb reboot recovery, but it just reboots into normal mode. I have tried 'recovery kernel' from the boot menu but it just stops on the red ! android.

One thing I am not sure about is I do not have a device listed as 'fastboot' in the device manager when I boot into fastboot. Some instructions seem to indicate this should be how it is. Mine just says adb device like it does when normally booted. I tried uninstalling the drivers and installing in various ways but I can't seem to get it listed as fastboot device when I am in fastboot mode. I am not even sure this is a problem as the fastboot command appeared to work.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] n3wt:
You can use the 'fastboot devices' command to see if the nabi is recognized as a fastboot device. Did you unzip the recovery.img in the TWRP zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iherbivore:
I have a mac at work and everything worked when I used it. The recovery install response message like the same as it did on windows, but now I can actually boot into recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] iherbivore:
I can't seem to get rid of the chore list and the foozkids apps. It looks like it removes them in the script, and I can't, for example, find the fuhu_Chorelist.apk afterwards but it still shows in nabi mode along with the foozkids apps which I assume are in the fuhu_AppZone.apk.

What am I missing?

Get your fresh twrp 2.8.0.0 with new mtp feature. This feature alone is turning me to the darkside (twrp). No custom theme in recovery just compiled fresh out of the oven. Credits to [MENTION=4939189]aicjofs[/MENTION] I used his github.

​

This is a flashable zip file for up to date nabi's running 2.4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Oh cool I was actually reading up on the new features on TWRP 2.8. I have a lot of files I downloaded that I was going to use for examples to start theming TWRP that I had put on the back burner for some time now. Maybe it's time to start getting into making themes for the Nabi2......

Don't give up on Philz Touch though. It's good to have alternatives as well on our Nabi's.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Phil's jellybean branch does not have the touch gui, that is what I liked and also Phil3759 announced today he is leaving the project.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
What? Really? Dang......

I recompiled 2.8.0.0 with the Nabi Red Theme that aicjofs made if members are interested. It's so easy to theme it, may as well start making themes to place in the theme folder. TWRP seems to be getting a lot of support from members than from previous.

I hope it's okay with aicjofs.....

Oh katinatez, if you want to take a screen shot in TWRP just hold down the "Power" button and press the "vol+". Screen shots are stored in your "Pictures" folder.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Nice work. Have you tested out the MTP? When I saw that I thought it might be interesting.

Of course it's all right!! :) Here is the flashable installer script I use for the Gpad if it's any help with theme installs. Just change out the ui.zip and edit the installer script to say what you want it to say.

Note to others:

DONT FLASH the attached zip on a Nabi it's just a template!!!

They changed up the ui.xml awhile back. Broke it up it to pieces so now there is ui.xml AND one [portrait or landscape xml] so if you get really creative you might have to change in the landscape.xml
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Yes MTP works, already tested.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
So to use theme, unpack recovery images and switch out graphics, then repack?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Yes, just keep them the same dimensions, named the same and same format. You place the ui.zip file in the "Themes" folder in TWRP and you got swappable themes. You can switch the fonts as well. Once you get into it more and real creative you can even start rearranging the buttons as you please to make your own GUI configurations.

The stock "res" folder you have the same concept but of course it's the stock images it will have when flashed by default.

I have a lot of ui.zip files from other tablets within this site that I was looking at for inspiration, just never got around to making any.

If you look at the updater-scipt in the flashable zip that aicjofs provided, it shows the path where it gets flashed to. You can either manually move it into the themes folder or use this method to flash it "for the non-experienced users".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Yea the zip I attached is just to provide a means to make a flashable for ease of other users. Don't use anything from the ui.zip inside it, it's for the gpad and has 1900x1200 resolution so not going to work on Nabi. We will need to make a template ui.zip, easiest I think is look at TWRP source(gui/device/resolution) or can extract ramdisk at grab "res" directory.

I recompiled twrp and I fixed aroma file manager loading correct. Will upload tonight when kids go to sleep.

Youngest is napping, here you go. changed the increment to 2.8.0.1 because of aroma being fixed!

[MENTION=4939189]aicjofs[/MENTION] look for my pull request on github to fix aroma!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Sweet! TY. Works perfect with Aroma Browser.

On it LOL...........

Here is the first Flashable theme. Its a Blue Theme for TWRP. Just a tester of course. Have a look and mod it at will. Gives you an idea of how you make one. All files in the ui.zip are required. If at anytime you would rather manually load the theme to your SDcard, make sure the zip file is called "ui.zip" ( if it was reamed ).

Make sure to create a folder called "theme" ( case sensitive ) in your TWRP folder on the

Internal SDcard

before you flash. Works only off the internal and not external.

BlueNabi2Theme.zip ( just rename to ui.zip and place it in the "theme" folder and reload theme.

TWRP-JBNV7AUS-BlueTheme.zip ( flash in TWRP Recovery )

Of course these are for anyone to have and modify. Have fun creating themes in TWRP and be sure to share. I used Gimp to modify the hues and color but you can be creative with your own buttons and pictures.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Sorry it took so long and thanks for the link to script manager. I was fooling with it for some time, not script manager as it was simple enough.

Ok here goes. I did just as you instructed with script manager and set sh to boot, changed the vold also. When I clicked run on script manager, I got filed device busy but all looked Ok so rebooted, I use quick boot to reboot. When I was back up and tried to open settings/storage, I got force close as all other tries.

I then got a brain fart (lol) and replaced vold file with original vold and run script manager on the sh file again. Again got device or system busy failed. Rebooted with quick boot AND when I opened settings/storage, I had my micro sdcard listed as internal storage and sdcard both, opened es file explorer and it recognized sdcard and sdcard2 as my micro sdcard. I got excited as I had an 8gig micro sdcard and it was seeing 7.36 gig. I changed the micro sdcard to a 32gig micro sdcard and started Nabi......I was back to regular internal and sdcard in settings/storage 4gig and 29.97. So I ran script manager again on sh file with original vold and rebooted. I again have in settings/storage, my micro sdcard as internal and sdcard both showing 29.97. Same with es file explorer. The internal storage of 4gig is not recognized anywhere.

This is more than I have ever achieved, have rebooted several times and the same. I will have to install some programs to see if my new internal storage changes.

Any other advice to complete would be super. Thanks

Here is what I get when running script manager with sh

Command:

'/data/local/sdcard_switch.sh'

-------------

Out:

root@android:/ # exec /system/bin/sh* '/data/local/sdcard_switch.sh'

failed: Device or resource busy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Clarkiss:
I followed ur guide as well RageAgain and had the same problem as ALD3.. After I rebooted when I tried to click on storage in settings it just says "Unfortunately Settings has closed" and then force closes to home screen.. Tried it a bunch of times of course.. So I replaced my Vold file with my backup and removed the .sh script in script manager and rebooted and all is well again.. But ALD3 you are basiclly saying to just keep my Vold file original and just create/run the .sh script and reboot and it switchs the sdcard2 to Internal Storage?!?!:confused::laugh::confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Yes original vold and run sh in script manager and internal storage and sdcard both showing Same, my micro sdcard. I just went into recovery and TWRP let ME choose external sdcard, which it wouldn't before. When I booted back from recovery, inward all changed back to original? Also noticed that while my internal sdcard was changed, it still installed programs on the original internal storage of 4 gig.......not good. So we are not there yet.

BEWARE WHEN!!! WHEN I DID THIS! IT WIPED MY MICRO SDCARD CLEAN!!!! so don't have anything important on your micro SDCARD if you try this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Clarkiss:
Can you post or send me the .sh script file u made/using? When I click Run it fails to do 1 or 2 things and I want to just make sure I made mine right
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Yes here it is. I get failed also when I click run in script manager but was changed after boot. I have to run script manager every time I go in to TWRP recovery and it wipes micro sdcard every time I run script manager. Games and programs are still installing on the 4 gig orginal internal storage. So not any good yet. Had to add .txt to it to upload, so will need to take off.

Oh yes another thing that I did was change the permissions on the sh file to rwx rwx rwx. By choosing properties on the file and change.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Clarkiss:
I have just spent the last 2 hours attempting to mod the Vold file in like 4-5 different ways and nothing worked :crying: I took the moded Vold file off my LG Esteem Smart phone which has a moded Vold file that makes my extsdcard the Internal Memory and studied it to find there is only like 2 sets of 2 words and numbers that are switched from one line of code to another and THATS IT!! :mad::eek: The rest of the code is letter for letter number for number the same!... So I tried applying the same technique to my Nabi 2's Vold file and no matter what it just makes the extsdcard (sdcard2) appear not there anymore and has the following message in the storage status tab.. "Insert an SD card for mounting" :(:rolleyes: Someone's gotta tackle this!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Same here most of today also tried changing the sh file and no go. I started a thread here, if you want to watch it and add to it. Maybe we can get somewhere between both of us. Might leave your request there 2 so they know hat more than just me looking for help.

Found a driver for Nabi 2

I found these instructions that tell you how to modify the Android SDK driver to work with an Nvidia Tegra tablet (which the Nabi 2 is):

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable-adb-usb-drivers-for-nvidia-tegra-based-android-tablets/

I already followed the above instructions and you can download the result from here:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144477/Nabi2_driver_sjbotha_x86_x64.zip

The install script in this thread didn't work flawlessly for me, but in the end I was able to root and install google apps. The install script did successfully install TWRP, but the script would then not recognize the tablet and install the root and gapps zip packages. I just copied the root.zip and gapps,zip files to the device and used the install option in TWRP to install the zips.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Clarkiss:
Thats great and all and thanks for the good intentions but Drivers for the Nabi2 have not been a problem...Easily installed since the beganning using "PdaNet" or "Driver Mender"...The problem were all having now is swaping the Internal Storage and sdcard :( A bunch of us have been trying to figure out how to get it done for a least a week now!

Can anyone help with my problem, I have the google apps zip in the root folder of internal storage but it wont show the zip file to install in TWRP. It doesn't even show in the file manager option. Thanks in advance.

:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
That is weird. Where did you put the gapps zip file on the tablet? If your not careful, you will put it in some folder and won't know where it is. What file manager are you Using? I would either use root explorer or es file explorer. I prefer es file explorer. I don't know how you got it on your tablet, if you downloaded it direct then it will be in Download folder. If you transferred it from computer via usb cable, I would hook up usb cable again and transfer it again. Make sure that it is Not in any folder and only on the internal storage, not the micro sdcard as it is a little harder to find there. Let me know if youmhave anymore questions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mr_tris:
I dragged and dropped from my computer I dont have any file managers yet as I have no google apps. I just tried option 1 in the root package and TWRP will not recognize the apps zip file, I have also noticed TWRP isn't showing me the backups in restore option and also in the log screen /data isn't mounting either saying thats its an invalid argument.

EDIT: Found an ES Explorer apk and installed it, when I try to move the googleapps zip it says it wont move. Something tells me that I haven't rooted properly. Could this be my problem and why TWRP isn't doint what it should be?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Could be, did you open superuser and run It?Is you have to do that right after rooting to finish rooting and update the su file. Try running superuser and see if it will update su. If not run root again and then run superuser and update su.. You got es file explore ok, I was going to give you a dropbox link if not.Run
