Hmmm, this may be a deal breaker for me, my kids loves those Dr Panda games. Thank you helping.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
That flick app says it requires a network connection that can't be found. I also note that it seems like the screen resolution is reported incorrectly.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
What do you mean by the screen resolution comment? Where do you see that?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
You should go to developer options and select show touches and pointer location. The screen res seems off in flick app...like if I touch the center it jumps to the bottom...my toughbook does this when the screen res is set higher than the touchscreen max. Anyway..if your screen is bad the developer options will show you. Try multiple finger touch points.

Well, I've tried just about every "Find My Phone" Security app with no luck.

All I want to do is utilize the standard:

1. Alarm/Scream function

2. Lock Function

All of them seem to work if the the Nabi is in parent mode. Especially if the app is open

None of them work if the Nabi is in Nabi Mode.

I have tried "Adding the App" to no positive effect.

It appears that Nabi Mode is blocking the communication necessary for these apps to work. I do have WiFi set to be always on...that hasn't helped.

I should also note that Google Talk will not receive messages while the device is in Nabi Mode.

Anyone got an idea?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
I used developer options. It recognizes the touches just fine, but yes, single tap to the center of the screen will move the menu. I just tried setting the lcd.density to 120, but still the same issue. I wonder if this is an issue we can solve, or if it has to be the game developer...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
It would be good if someone had a tablet with a hi res screen to test it out for us.

Another option is to find a build prop from a tablet with the same screen resolution and trade it in then try it.

Edit: What's the stock dpi? You should try higher...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Stock is 160. I've tried 170 and 180 and got stuck in bootloops. Will try 167 as I think that is the true res IIRC.

These games work fine on an HP Touchpad, will have to check what the res is there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
only way i was able to play flick kick football kickoff on the Nabi 2 is by using Ultimate Rotation Control

with out it i had the same results every one else had
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
Do you have deodexed files ?

are you running 1.9.37 ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
I fubar'd and lost my build.prop. Could someone be a dear and upload their STOCK build.prop? Much obliged..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
With what settings? Even with that none of the games work properly.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
forced auto

and tablet sitting so power is at top

global is set to auto
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Well sh!t. That does it. These games work if you hold them upside down (the opposite of the default orientation) with forced auto setting. Trying to wrap my brain around what might cause this. Any insight anyone?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
i had the program for a while and just tried it .. when i have the bumper off i either have power up or to the right while charging . i have no idea why it only works that way .

after the game is started i can rotate and play ....lol this is nuts
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Hah -- I'm afraid it was months ago when I did it, and so I don't remember little details like that. Basically, though, I took the tablet out of the box, didn't update the firmware first, and ran the update script as it was on October 3rd 2012 (the post was update a week later, so I don't know what was changed and how it might affect that.)

I tried the recommended option, and while it appeared to work, I had no WiFi. (It just said "Turning WiFi on".) I tried flashing ota_1.9.23.zip but it made no difference.

Then I restored my backup, confirmed WiFi was working, and tried again, this time choosing the script option "Install recovery and rooted rom". It appeared to work, but had the same WiFi problem.

Finally, I restored my backup, and chose the option "Install recovery and just root current rom". WiFi was usable, gapps were installable and working (not 100% sure which version of gapps I chose, but it will have been the newest one available for ICS from http://goo.im/gapps as of October 3rd), and then or since, I never once got the updating apps message.

I did also disable everything I could of Fuhu's software, replace the launcher with a different one, install Kids Mode by Zoodles, an app that switches the screen on when the accelerometer detects motion so my three year old wouldn't need to use the power button, and some other various apps, but I don't think any of that is related. The reason being, I didn't even get the updating apps message on my very first boot after rooting and adding gapps.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but after almost three months, I simply don't remember what I did any more in detail.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ProCision:
There are still some of you that are having issues here is what I did and I got it all to work

*on the sd card I put the gapps.zip and the root.zip (not sure if root.zip is needed)

*started the package and chose to just install twrp and root

*when that finished I installed gapps.zip

everything is working for me. good luck
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
I also just allowed the script to root and install TWRP. I pushed gapps via ADB and installed via TWRP. No problems.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
I think I may have been misunderstood. I was not saying chrome and a few other programs wouldn't work, I was trying to point out that playstore tells me that my device is not compatable to install some progams so I have to sideload them. Maybe it is only me and if that is the case it would be nice to know if anyone else is having to side load and what program.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Yes there are some apps that I can't get out of Play and uploaded them to box or drive and install. That is true of a lot of devices and apps. Even my Nexus 7 doesn't show everyone I want as compatible, so send them over too.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
No need to be sorry. You pointed out somethings that may help later. One thing that I did different was update to the newest update first. You said "Install recovery and just root current rom". I have never seen that op. What were you using.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Which gapps did you guys use. Post a link please. Did you guys update first or do this out of the box. If you updated, what update were you on? Would you guys be willing to tell us what you guys did step by step from the time you guys opened the box.

The script from the first post, as it was on October 3rd. I haven't seen or tried the newer version, so have no idea what the equivalent option would be, or if there is one.

"Unfortunately, kidservice2 has stopped"

Started getting this. Also after deleting vendor my wifi went haywire. Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
twrp backup post please.

I just had an idea. Is there someone out there willing that has a full working nabi 2 with 1.9.37 that is rooted and has playstore working with out the error of "android is updating" on every boot be willing to do a system factory reset and after reboot when you get to the setup screen shut off and do a full backup ( all the check boxes) in twrp that you can post. If it works like I think it may you would be helping out a lot of people that somehow the setup didn't work for. It should be safe for you. I have done factory resets and was still rooted with playstore so you would only have to reinstall your app's. I have a feeling the person that does this will have a thanks button explostion!!!!!!

My turn first. Thank you.

---------- Post added at 01:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

Right now I just went to stock and rooted. Playstore is nice but not a must have. I have many other ways to get apps on the nabi 2 so right now I don't have the " android is updating " message. I only get the android is updating if I install playstore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I was making something up for people that want to get rid of the android upgrading but I need a tester. A lot of people don't seem to care too much haha!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
Well like I said in the last post. If we can get a twrp backup from a working system we should be able to restore with that and I would think that would work sounds easy to me. What do you think.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
It should work if someone is willing to factory restore, and upload it. Then whoever installs will have to setup everything again. Seems easy to me. I was thinking of doing something that wouldn't require anyone to have to setup their tablet again and save that pain.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
True but it would be the last time you would have to and for people that are doing out of the box after updating it wouldn,t matter. I would me more then willing to reinstall if I knew that was all I had to do.

Do you have a working nabi 2 on 1.9.37? Would you be willing to post your backup?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Mine isn't having Android is upgrading on 1937 but I installed deodexed files to it. I would have no problem making a backup except kids are out of school as of today and I don't know when I can pull that off without them seeing except late at night before Christmas. I have been doing all this while they are at school.

I'm just going to toss this out there if anyone wants to be a guinea pig. This would be a method that wouldn't require anyone to start all over on their tablet. It worked for me, but I can't promise it works in all configurations. Since gapps-ics-0429 was the last one I don't think there will be many different configurations. I feel ok about doing this if someone has done a TWRP backup before trying it because a restore will return the tablet to "as was"

Prerequisites

-Make a nandroid backup before trying this!

-Have a Nabi with root and gapps installed.

-Make sure you don't have a folder on your sdcard called appbackup

-110MB of free space on internal storage(You will get space back)

Whats happening(This is what the flashable zip is going to do, no need to perform this yourself)

-Backup your current files from /system/framework and /system/apps to a folder at /sdcard/appbackup

-Erase all files in /system/apps

-Erase all files odex and jar in /system/framework(skips framework-res.apk if you have done lockscreen mod so it's preserved)

-Install deodexed files that I "believe" you will need on your Nabi

-It will be possible to restore your tablet to before if it doesn't work, plus we have the nandroid should it all go south.

Steps

-Grab the installer Download

-Grab the uninstaller Download

-Copy the downloaded files to tablet.

-Reboot to TWRP and flash NabiDeOdex.zip

-Wipe Cache

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Reboot

-You will see Android is upgrading, reboot one more time and it should be gone.

-If you need to free up space on internal storage, copy appbackup folder off to your computer.

-If it doesn't work/tablet not booting attempt a restore

-In TWRP flash odexrestore.zip

-Wipe Cache

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Reboot

-If that doesn't work to restore then a nandroid restore will have to be done to get you back.(If we get this far I apologize in advance for wasting your time :( )

[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
That is because you deleted the wifi drivers, you should have only removed the apks from /vendor/app if that is what you wanted to remove. I would restore from your backup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
guinea pig reporting in. Didn't work for me. Got stuck on boot up screen. I let it sit for 15 min.

EDIT: I read your post wrong. I thought you wanted me to make the appbackup folder and move and delete the files. I redid it the right way and it works for the most part. I still get the android is upgrading for a sec. but it said starting app and went away. it just a flashes on the screen for a sec.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dottat:
For anyone other dads like me who had their nabi2 in a closet waiting for Christmas until this weekend-

I had previously rooted and installed TWRP and gapps on mine and was presented with an OTA for 1.9.37. I opted to try it the same way I would on my nexus7 by installing voodoo root keeper from the market. I backed up root and proceeded with the OTA. I kept TWRP as my recovery and did not flash back to stock. The update completed no problem. I went back into voodoo root keeper and restored root. Nothing further needed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TRVSDXN:
Thanks, I only moved the folder. I will go do this correctly now.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
If you meant a stock 1.9.37, I have that.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I apologize for not making it clearer that all you have to is just flash one zip file, no other work needed. Seemed to make sense at 1 a.m.but after reading it this morning I see why you tried to do things manually, I'll edit the post. Very sorry about that, should have been a 20 sec flash and that's all you had to do :(

So it eliminated android updating the 40-50 apps, but you still get the message for a brief second. hmmm I don't get the message on either tablet. Still saves you 30 seconds of bootup time now but it's still not perfect. It's like you still have one stray file that is causing the message to flash for a second. Can you look in the /system/app and /system/framework now that you applied the zip and see if there are any odex files in either folder?

This is promising, I wonder if it's just yours or if it will work how it should on other peoples. Need to find what the one oddity on yours is. Of course when I wake up today I read your first line and you gave me a heart attack, before I got to the "EDIT" part. Anyone else up to testing?

Jmztaylor, I just bought another Nabi 2 for my mother in law today. I rooted it immediately of course. The method 1 doesn't install the kernel, so wifi doesn't work. Do you have the ota file in it's entirety that you can post? With our personal device, I had already taken the ota and then rooted, then flashed the safe ota, and everything works. Had to roll the mother in laws device back to stock backup like knoxploration and use method 2 ultimately to get wifi back with the old kernel. At any rate thanks for the great help so far!

Edit: also, the safe ota doesn't flash the kernel..not sure of the process on these devices..but it's not doing it. My personal device with the latest ota has a newer kernel than the mother in laws.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
So you are completely without wifi right now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
No, I have both with working wifi. My personal (my daughter's) has latest OTA pre-root, then root, then safe OTA, all working. Mother-in-law's was unboxed, rooted, safe OTA, but no wifi. The kernel on mine is newer. Had to revert hers to the backup unrooted, then use option to root without reflash, and it works, but is version 1.9.9 not 1.9.23. I am hoping to get the latest kernel on the 2nd unit so I can run the safe OTA and have the latest. I tricked ours into downloading the OTA by changing build.prop to read 1.9.16, but when I run it it passes to TWRP and fails. Looks like they want to pass it through their recovery. Not sure how to get their recovery back, although there are files in the OTA related to recovery...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
functionally the new kernel doesn't do anything. I am uploading a new version of my program that will fix any wifi issues. The OTA is breaking the wifi and im not sure why. So, the fix will be to flash old boot.img and modules. I looked at the ota and there is no reason it should break it. but it does and i confirmed it on both my tabs. I think I will just take the OTA down because Im confident it doesn't lock anything up. Then take ota and root without reflashing rom. I will work on going back stock also so people can take OTAs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
Sweet, thanks. So the claim in the OTA that it improves Wifi is BS?

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

They claim for v1.9.23:

Improvements:

Wi-Fi: Improved Wi-Fi signal strength.

Device Boot-up: Improved boot-up speed.

Battery Life: Battery life extended an extra 20-25 minutes.

Battery Charge: Improved battery charge time.

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

Thoughts?

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

They aren't messing with radios for the Wifi are they?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
Well maybe there was. I didn't notice any diff. But that may be why its breaking wifi. and custom recovery isn't liking the patch OTA system.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ajac:
trying it now on the wifes. cant wait to ee some custom roms!! and some JELLY BEAN love!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:

They're certainly too young to be handling electricity, and yes as the parent of a soon-to-be four year old myself, one is far, far too young to be using something like this. It's likely to do them more developmental harm than good.

Well she was,and still is pretty advanced for her age. She was already taking our phones, unlocking them and was able to get into games and netflix on her own.

She knows her abcs and 123s upto 20 and can actually spell simple things.. mom dad her name.. etc.. knows what city she lives in and many other things. Also now at 2-1/2 her hand eye coordination is crazy good. Also she is in gymnastics and does a lot of physical things, so we are not letting her turn into a fat gaming kid.

Quick question for you guys. Went through the whole process last night without a hitch.

Updated all the way to v1.9.37 and then followed original post.

This was on a brand new just opened nabi2. After all was complete

I installed root explorer to well ... start exploring the guts.

Turns out root explorer was reporting 2 gb's free and 2 gb's full. I know the system files take up alot, but where is the 8GB internal drive??

I did install a 32GB micro sd so I am not in a tizzy, just wondering what is going on. Root explorer issue?? Nabi 2 issue?? Or most likely just my issue??

Anyone see something like this?

Thanks,

Nycorduroy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
From what I remember, 4GB for OS and 4 for apk. There are a lot of apks installed already, you can check the apks and delete the ones that you don't need. I would back them up on your micro sdcard first, in case you want them or delete something you shouldn't. A lot of them are trial apks anyhow. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
No. What I ment was all these people that are saying that they have rooted and added playstore and it is all working without any problems like the android is upgrading on every boot. If the would do a factory restore root and playstore would still be there but then we could sign in with are own account.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
Gotcha, but just to be clear, rooting isn't what is causing issues :)
