AFAIK, nothing has been resolved. I, fortunately do not suffer from the issue, and there are numerous others who do not as well. I almost have to assume it's hardware related. By installing a custom recovery and rooting, there's really nothing that we're changing that would have a direct effect on WiFi. I'd say those who suffer the problem could collect cat logs and try to see what's going on. But without any 'real' development/developers, it's likely not to be addressed properly. Hopefully it's an issue that Fuhu is aware of and is fixable via another update.

no i didn't try that version - from what i have read the nexus doesn't have a micro sd card slot - so i am thinking that there might be options missing?

swap sd cards internal 2 external

!WILL ONLY WORK IF ROOTED!

an app called "Root External 2 Internal SD" at google playstore. on the tablet it will be called "External 2 Internal"

in settings check mark everything and change "the original external mounting point" to /mnt/sdcard2

back out of settings and click the External>Internal button, check the At boot** box, then click the At boot if init.d button. then reboot the nabi

it starts at boot but takes a sec or two to swap so if you jump the gun and check the file system right at boot you will see nothing has changed. give it a few. it will work when you see the su permission note flash on the screen. copy all data from the old internal to the new internal card and delete old internal card.

Guide to revert nabi 2 back to out of the box stock

i am up to page 37 on here and still reading but i would love to see a guide on how to put back a nabi 2 back to complete stock rom and recovery. as if i just took it out of the box and turned it on...

i kind of messed up one of mine. i have it working with mt799_unsigned_121512_160603.zip and the Kids_Stuff.zip but i would like to start over with a clean slate. btw. with this setup playstore works if you follow my guide in his forum but never open "app zone" when i did then playstore stops working. i just deleted it.

there are a few app that seem to be missing ill check which ones and post and the cloud app doesn't work

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

i saw that in many posts. glad i could help. so far it works great. your welcome
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Not sure where the directions are, but basically just download the stock zip from jmz's files and install it. Then do the updates. I had to do it once a couple of moths ago back. So your running the swap memory app on a Nabi2, does the new apps install on the sdcard2 as it should when swapped. I can't try it as sent it to my grandson, just compiling the information for my son. I had a script writer that looked like it swapped but apps were still installing on the sdcard. Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
From what I have gathered from this thread (but not done myself /disclaimer) is restore your unrooted stock image that was originally created by the OP's script, then restore the recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
i tryed that JmzNabi2Stock_OLD.zip but my wifi wouldn't work plus that doesn't do anything to change the recovery back to stock. i think the JmzNabi2Stock_OLD.zip is if you didn't do the updates to get the new kernel but if you have the new kernel then wifi will not work with JmzNabi2Stock_OLD.zip. i think i need JmzNabi12Stock_new.zip which doesn't exist. i have a 32 gb sd card and when i run this progam it shows my internal as my 32 gb. i installed nfs most wanted and the 2gb game download went to my 32gb sdcard.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
thats part of the problem. the script failed and i ended up adb pushing the files and using recovery to install and just forgot to do a backup. would be great if i could get the stock backup
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
If nothing else you can check cyhax's thread on a stripped down Nabi2, which doesn't have kids mode but he has the kids stuff separate to reinstall if you want it. Stock other than kids mode. He's working on a fully stock for flashing. Maybe that would help you to get almost to stock and go from there?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
in my first post i listed mt799_unsigned_121512_160603.zip as the rom i am doing and the kids_stuff.zip and that is from cyhax's thread. it works but not perfect. i would like to just get back to stock. and start over plus i am having some screen noise so i may have to take it back for warranty.

thank you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
Are these nandroids limited to the device they were made on or could we share a stock nandroid? Thinking back, I think my stock unrooted has my Nabi account info already.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] robl45:
please let us know what you come up with, i haven't done this yet as I haven't seen a clear concise way to get back to stock yet. Not like with a samsung phone where you just odin in a stock tar. I'm not messing with the kids tablet until I know that I can fix it.

nice job

Maybe a few of us will make a few and add them to the forum?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
It's the framework-res.apk located in /system/framework/

Use 7zip to open framework-res.apk navigate to /res/drawable-sw600dp-mdpi/ and overwrite those files

Replacing the framework-res.apk is a bit more difficult, if done wrong it can cause a bootloop. It needs root owner and group, and rw-r--r-- permissions. I was successful a couple times with ES file explorer, but the other times I bootlooped it and had to adb shell, mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 as system and push the file. That way is 100%.

Maybe I can figure out how to make a flashable zip. EDIT: I appear to have been successful, I made a flashable zip Here

[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
Yes. The link in the OP has the stock recovery image and the prerooted image. Also when you run the script the prerooted ROM gets backed up so you could always flash it back. You have to do these if you are planning on taking future OTA updates anyway so familiarize yourself with the processes.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Now to try and figure out how to get rid of the Android updating thingy. I see the 2 methods are deodex or copy apks from /data/apps to /system/vendor/apps. I'm not fond of the work involved for the first, and the second would have to be done every time you add an app from the Play store and I'm not sure what updating apps would do. What if we added a symlink from /data/apps to /system/vendor/apps? Would that work to eliminate the need to do it every time an app was added? Erik you came up with the 2nd way right? What's your thought on that? Or are you even seeing it when you add apps? Wouldn't probably survive a system update but better then doing it each time. I really don't see them being rebooted a lot but for purity sake I seem to want it gone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
Reading from what may other devs have done it seems to me that the rooted rom could be deodexed with gapps already installed before it is pushed and loaded.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
i now use De-Odexed files from system/app and system/framework

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050365&highlight=nabi

has newer files that are de-odexed 1937 and jmz has older files also found in "JmzNabi2Stock_OLD.zip" 1916-

both have files missing that i don't see in my backup of 1937

i cant tell you what set you should use but look at all the apk files you have now and save them

it does get rid of the “android is upgrading’ message on every boot

CheckOtaUpdate.apk

KitService2.apk

OtaPackageUpdate.apk

ProductionTest4791.apk

All 4 were in /system/app, /system/framework was all correct. I made myself a little update.zip that contains those 4 files along with all the files from the download, deletes *.* in apps, deletes *.odex, and *.jar in framework, adds all the deodex files, set permissions. Tossed it on tablet, and with a swipe in TWRP, and a clear of both caches it worked fantastic on both tablets. No Android upgrading nonsense and I can't find anything about the tablet that isn't working. I guess I will be thanking you twice in a day!

CoreService.apk was in my pre update files(updated to 1937, su and gapps). I did go back and open my stock backup win file for system and it's not there. Must have been added in last 2 Nabi updates. With a name like Core you would think it's something important. LOL.

So wait. You guys figured out the upgrading issue? This thread is on fire.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codest3r:
Did you install recovery yet?

With device off when I press (+) and Power - let go when you see Nabi logo and I get 4 option menu - 3rd option is recovery kernel. Use (-) to go down list to it and press (+) to select it. That puts me into recovery image (TWRP).

t499user thread here helped me by giving step by step instructions. They're for Ubuntu but similar for Windows (minus sudo). Studying that thread and the install.bat from jmz should give you enough to work from to do it by hand.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I believe its been figured out for awhile, but didn't seem to be too talked about. I'm pretty late to the party, but that what it seems to me from reading the last couple days. More that the solution is rebuilding the ROM, or manually moving files around, is why everyone isn't doing it. If I knew that everyone's apks in those directories were the same for a given Nabi build I would make a flashable zip everyone could do if they wanted to. The zip I made flashed great and made it a 10 sec ordeal, but I'm not sure it will work on everyone's tablet even if we are on the same Nabi build yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
Agreed. Looks like you only have a stock recovery flashed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] codest3r:
How about this one-click odex/de-odexer? Tanimn built a .cmd script to odex or de-odex. It's for the Epic 4G but couldn't it be ported to work on the Nabi?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
Another one from a trusted dev is xUltimate

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=700904

Since this is a stock rooted from this should work no?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I looked at the script for [TOOL][ACS]One Click Odexer and Restoration Tool for Samsung Epic 4G it's doing the right things but it looks like it specifically calls out apks in the script that are on that phone, so it would process maybe 3/4 of the Nabi files that are common? Certainly looks like it could be modded to add the apks the Nabi needs. The only concern I gathered from briefly looking at the 20 pages was can it work on every Android version, I always see this talk of different API levels and I have never researched such so I am clueless on that. Also seemed to be the use of ext4 files system(which Nabi uses), as if that phone was older and using ext3, I think that was someone modding the file system on their sdcard and might not be of concern here.

Honestly if you nandroid backup before hand you can't really go wrong. Worse case is it jacks stuff up and you end up in boot loop and have to do a restore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
I will not change a thing. It is a progam that runs in the bootup of android so in twrp the internal and external are in there stock places.

Hey. Thank you. I ended up ripping the rom off my other nabi but I know this will help others.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
No. If you only root nothing changes. If you add playstore you lose gallery from kids mode and every time I added playstore with every reboot you get an annoying " android is updating " screen on every restart. Everything works in the end but it is just annoying. It just bugs my every time I see it so I just rooted without playstore and use aptoide market and side load everything else. Playstore will not let you install chrome and some other thing cuz it think they will not run on the nabi 2 but it is an error with playstore cuz nabi2 is not registered with them so I install it on my note 2 with appmonster installed which make a backup apk that I can bluetooth over to my nabi. Btw to make bluetooth better I install astro bluetooth only. It adds a obex ftp server that lets you connect better with bluetooth file manager.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
It is easy now that I know how to do it. The hard part is learning how.

Not necessarily. Some of us, myself included, have rooted and installed the Play store, but never received the updating message a single time.

I remember reading about your recovery not having touchscreen somewhere in this huge thread. Very strange, would seem like a driver, or your tab has some experimental touchscreen...

I would think its possible to make an updated TWRP. Sounds like the current recovery is using a Nexus 7 code base and then some tweaks. jmztaylor knows those tweaks, I looked at his github for any clues but didn't see anything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brownel02:
I have rooted two Nabi 2's and installed Chrome on both with no issue. I also installed Drive and Talk. Both work without issue (even the video on Talk). The 'updating android' issue is not a big deal to me because really, how much extra time does it take to cold boot? Plus the few times my girls have seen it on my phone they got a kick out of it. Most of the time the tab will be left on in sleep mode on the charger just like our phones. On the off chance I get sick of it I will follow the instructions in the post and clean it up but it really is not a big deal for me.

I rooted and installed Google Play/GApps on eight Nabi 2s early on and all have been working relatvely well (all have the optimize issue, but no big deal).

However, I have noticed that the Google Apps and all of the included games, etc. are not updating. For instance, when Google updated calendar recently there was no update offered for the one I installed. Is this normal? Is there a workaround?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Hoping someone will be nice enough to help me out. Trying to determine if I have a faulty touchscreen.

There are a plurality of games I have found that involve scrolling the entire screen up and down. However, The screen gets "jumpy" and bounces back up when I scroll down or vice versa.

Was wondering if someone could give an app a test to see if they have the same issue. Try "Flick Kick Football", available FREE in both amazon and google app store. I can't even get past the main screen.

If this is a common problem across devices and not just myself, does anyone have any suggestions for a fix? As I said, I have found it on multiple apps, including all the "Dr Panda" apps that my kid loves.
