Which solution did you use for root and gapps? That way we can work it backwards.

The keyboard files should be /system/lib/libjni_latinime.so, and /system/app/latinIME.apk. I guess you could check if they are present or replace them You could try going to data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/cache and clearing those files. I thought there was a frameworks thing you had to clear too but I just can't remember what it's called. It was framework or maybe the dictionary...

oh and you should still have adb, you just need to be in TWRP

Here is 1.9.37 odexed keyboard, and cache clear.

Keyboard reset

Boot TWRP

drop this file in adb folder don't unzip

adb push try.zip /sdcard

Go to TWRP install tab

select try.zip

swipe to flash

can't make your situation worse then it is.

Although it seems you are going the backup route or smashed the Nabi against the wall ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Well, that's not gone well. I updated to 1.9.37, and while the tablet still boots and I got TWRP back on there fine afterwards, I can no longer get into the Play store. It opens and then immediately closes with no error message or force close dialog, and nothing I do changes it. I've tried reinstalling gapps, I've tried clearing cache and data on Play store, I've rebooted a million times... Advice, anybody?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
When you cleared cashe and data on Play did you try deleting your Google account and then reboot and redo Google account. Also was your Google account still sync in settings. Have cleared Google frameworks also will help sometime. Have you tried flashing gapps again? Do you know if you still have root, that shouldn't effect Play but you might better flash root.zip again if you lost root or you could lose TWRP?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
h

Haha maybe that cleared up what I was thinking about the guy with keyboard issue. Maybe google services framework is for play store and dictionary goes with keyboard.

Try clearing data in google services framework and play store CACHE

The keyboard issue is Android Keyboard data, and Dictionary cache.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
Hey guys -- thanks for the replies, I was offline having another quick go at it. Got it working, after trying the Nabi Lab script. Not sure if it installed a different version of gapps or something, but all works again now.

Now to sit and wait hopefully for Jellybean. ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
aicjofs,

I took this opportunity to use your Nabi Lab to install drivers on a Win 7 machine that I never set up for the Nabi yet. Previously I used PDAnet on my laptop so this is my first go at actual drivers.

I followed your instructions and rebooted via F8 into unsigned driver mode. The lab opens the folder where the driver to be installed is and I right click to install it but get an error. It tells me, "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation."

A minor difference I noticed too is the file name is Nabi Lab states it should be is "android_usb" but the file I have is "android_winusb".
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
if you go back to my first post about this it should help. but when i said check everything i meant check every box that you can.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Another typo thanks for reporting. Erik had problems installing windows 7 64 too. I went back and checked. I had the windows driver development kit installed and it must have done something. I tried a different one and you guys are correct it doesn't work. Back to drawing board. It needs [DefaultInstall] sections. Manual install for now. damn. Wonder why it works on Win8, must have different coinstaller version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
Wait a sec i am kind of slow at this stuff. lol

try this for the installer .

maybe you can mix it in with the main bat file ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Sorry, slightly OT here.

Has anyone installed the PBS Super Why app from the Play Store? Does the app fill the whole screen? My wife installed the one from the Amazon App Store, which is version 1.0 (Play is 2.0) and it only takes up 1/4th of the screen. Just looking for some feedback before dropping another $2.99 in the play store for the newer version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Haven't tried it for this app but you might try 1Mobile Market, I have gotten a lot of apps from there that wouldn't even install from Play. Just a thought.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
You can always try it and then refund it if it doesn't work, I think you get 15min.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Forgot about that, thank you.

For the record, version 2.0 of Super Why from the Play store works great on the Nabi. Avoid the Amazon App version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
I think we should start a list of apps that don't work from amazon, so far that is at least MX Player and Super Why that don't work from Amazon, but do work from Google Play.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
That looks like it will work nice. Are you hinting at the fact Nabi Lab needs to add some color? LOL
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
This didn't seem to work for me either (Win 7 64). I never got the dialog your readme said. I tried in both normal boot and unsigned driver boot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
i just put it in \NabiLab\driver

then clicked on it

no ADB running

same for me i run win7 64

i did remove any other driver i had or you wont get prompted
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
Hmm. Not sure why. I never had a driver installed for the Nabi 2 on this machine. I get a prompt when I I plug it in about a camera device asking what program to open. I need to look through Device Manager to Uninstall whatever may be installed for it.

On a separate note, I was trying to push an app via ADB and kept failing. The command "adb root" didn't work. Installing, adbd insecure by Chain fire and enabling insecure mode fixed that. For some reason adb wireless isn't connecting successfully via adb batch installer, but this is all work in progress I'm trying to get everything to play together.

No, honestly it isn't helpful and needs moderation. If every unrelated Nabi question had its own thread we'd stand a much better chance of getting a dedicated forum.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
I would love to see it happen that way, however unlikely. At the current time though, this is one place that everyone looks if there is an issue. Though every once in a while I will search for Nabi just to make sure if someone has an issue that it gets responded to.

Ahh, in a perfect world...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I was reworking the driver install for Nabi Lab and am having trouble seeing if it's working right on XP 32bit. It worked on one physical machine that's 32bit I tried but I won't be near that computer for awhile and now I'm on a virtual machine and I'm not sure its working right. Basically, installer, and self-signed driver.

XP/VISTA/7/8 32bit

Download 5.1MB

XP/VISTA/7/8 64bit

Download 5.9MB

So if anyone wants to try it out, I'm most interested in WinXP 32 installs, or I guess 32bit in general. I think 64 is working. The driver in device manager should say digitally signed by NabiLab if the it's picking up correct one. You can uninstall through add remove programs. No need to do this if your stuff is working just if you want to test or if someone new come across thread. If I can get this done I can finally get around to making an actually NabiLab thread.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cruise350:
This worked great for my win8pro 64bit laptop. I could never get the nabi drivers to install on this laptop. I always had to use my win7 desktop to program the nabi, now I can use both. Thanks for this.

Updating continue

What's the cause of the "android updating" at startup. I didn't see a warning about this before rooting and installing gapps. Now I'm kinda wishing I didn't do it. I have one NABI that's done, and another that isn't. Is there a way to go back to stock. I don't think that a factory reset will do it...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
OTAs will have to be done on the stock recovery, not TWRP. I would install TWRP recovery and then restore the backup that was made.

You don't have to have ADB Debugging enabled on the device to flash recovery. Check out http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34771264&postcount=3 for getting into fastboot manually.

Can you start a new thread in the general forum, and then link to it here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
From the Nabi bootloader you can fastboot over the TWRP recovery. A few pages back I linked a zip for you to try and fix keyboard. Of course who knows what file system damage has occured, but this is very fixable

For people on the original version here is a patch to bring you up to v2

Download

Extract the zip IN to the directory NabiLab is in not FROM the directory. What ever your unzip program it should be extracting to X:\somefolder\somefolder\yourNabiFolder\ If you do it right there will be a file RunOncePatch.bat in the same folder as NabiLab.bat, and a NabiPatch.zip in a new folder called patch in your NabiLab folder. Then run the RunOncePatch.bat You will know if it worked if there are no error, NabiLab says it's version 2, and things are in color.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
Awesome! Now we have a place for Nabi Lab.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
Hoping to get a bit more clarification on Root External 2 Internal SD use. The above instructions say to copy all data from the old internal. The dev's instructions say to copy the Android folder. I assume thee both are meaning the same thing, everything from the root directory? Would it be safer to do this via ADB, fastboot, or extract a Nandroid to the SD to ensure all files/folders are copied properly?

Also, the last instruction above, "delete old internal card," has me creeped out. I don't want our brick it, so I need some reassurance as to what's really going on.

Swapping everything to SD is definitely the route I need to go, as I have way too many apps installed and it's really limiting further use of the tablet at this point.

I may be over thinking this, but I prefer knowing hat I'm getting into.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
I of course haven't tried this because I think changing the ramdisk is the cleaner way to go but this is how I take it.

-They are saying 2 different things. All the contents from the SDcard are ALL the contents, there is a folder Android which is what the dev said to copy(only the folder). I read it as 2 different. Who knows maybe this program only symlinks the Android folder, so that's all that is necessary.

-You could copy it live(close running apps first), you are copying files that may be in use, not trying to write to them. Also probably prudent to make sure you are doing it as user not root user or you may get wacky permissions. I would just do it with ESfile explorer, ASTRO, etc

-I can't see you bricking, maybe unbootable but not bricked. If you have a backup it's unlikely you can't recover. The "Internal SDCARD" everyone talks about is really just a folder called "media" on the data partition. If you TWRP backup your "data" partition you will have by default saved your Internal SD, of course this program might be making changes to "system" partition files. Either way a restore and your back. I'm not even sure you can "delete" old SDCARD. You could delete /data/media so it won't have a place to mount but I think on boot it will create it if it's not there.

What steps were you doing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
i skipped that last part i left all files and folders where they were before using the program and it works fine .

every thing new that i install goes to the swapped sd card.

if you decide for some reason you want to turn it off, ever thing stays the same.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

? what steps did you do ?

need more details on what you did to get to where you are at now
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bait-Fish:
Thanks for the replies. The external SD Card Android folder is only like 700 MB so that didn't seem to me like what really needed to be copied.

Judging by the original use of this program on another internal memory starved device, I'm really hoping to get the bulk of everything already on the internal SD to the external. I'm starting to have to remove apps I really want to keep in order to get others on. Apps are failing to understand now and the system is very low as well.

I'll have go at it and give feedback. Thanks again for the reassurances.

Edit: Still workinrrg through this and haven't copied anything yet. In /etc/init.d is 11extsd2internalsd. Inside that is,

sleep 2
mount -o remount,rw /
mkdir -p /data/internal_sd

Updating about my SanDisk 64 GB micro XDSD, class 10. I posted a long time ago here in this thread that it didn't work with the Nabi 2. I have found a way to make it work. Using a technique/processI read about in the Galaxy S3 forum, it takes formatting the card from its original exFat to NTFS, then FAT32. Here are the steps.

Disclaimer:

This how-to was done days after-the-fact, from memory, while enjoying a bottle of wine outside, during a beautiful 80 degree winter SoCal afternoon while watching over a toddler and infant. No guarantees, implied or otherwise.

1. Using your method of choice, insert your MicroSD card into a PC of your choice, hopefully your own.

2. Using the Computer Management console, usually through the control panel, manage the storage devices. Identify and ensure you have selected the MicroSD card you mean to format.

3. Click the storage space which you want to format. Right click it and select format.

4. Change the format type from exFAT to NTFS. Leaving it set to quick and format worked for me.

5 . Download GUIFormat here. Click on the picture to download it. Run the downloaded file.

6. Select the proper microSD drive to be formatted. Select the proper size. For example, my card is 65 GB so I selected the highest setting which corresponded, 65xxx.

7. Select FAT32 quick format and start the process.

8. Close GUIFormat, safely eject the card, insert it the Nabi 2 of your choice, and profit!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
I formatted the same card in my Sprint HTC Evo 3D using 4EXT Recovery. I put the card in the Nabi2 and it worked fine.

Edit: BTW I did this to achieve perfect partition alignment (an option in 4EXT) and I did not try formatting elsewhere.

At £139 pounds (uk) isn't the NABI 2 as good as a Nexus 7 with a little less memory but with the huge PLUS of having a mini-HDMI port?

I was looking to get a Andriod TV Stick, as a media centre, BUT doesn't it make more sense to get a NABI 2 connected via HDMI port on a TV, and use my existing mobile device as a REMOTE to control XBMC, that way you have a PAD and Media machine all in one, OR am I missing something here?
