Yes I know. Rooting works fine, its when you add the google stuff that everything falls apart. I am still shocked that no one has jumped on my request for someone to upload a twrp backup of a working nabi 2 with root and google playstore with no errors and not saying android is upgrading on every reboot. I am sure your thank button would explode.

Heck if someone wants to send me a twrp backup copy of their system privately without them doing a factory reset so they don't lose anything I would install their backup and do the factory reset to get the twrp backup to give to everyone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
I would have posted the full but i don't use anything to do woth kids mode

what i found was replacing /system/app system/framework fixes the problem .

i went in to Twrp and removed both folders then copied in the new ones (de-odexed files)

after that i had to clear cache -dalvik cache - and factory reset (all done in TWRP)

on reboot i came to the new setup for wifi / google play blabla -

*2nd* reboot

no more android - message "android is upgrading'

i can add and remove programs from google play.

with out that message showing

ps: the only time i would see it is if I clear cache dalvik Cache
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
And that is the way it should be but.... their or people on here that have claimed that they just ran the installer and rooted the phone and then installed google apps and do not have that problem and only have seen that " android is upgrading " screen one time and never see it on other boots. I would like a twrp backup from one of them. I have a second nabi 2 that must be diffrent from my first cuz twrp's touch screen setting are off so I have to run everything with scripts. I just think if someone would put up their working backup of a rooted and gapps installed twrp backup that had no problem after install it would help alot of people out.

So who is going to step up to the plate????

nabi is now perfect for my 3 year old only problem i can have is since i removed nabi mode im kind of scare that he will go into security setting and uncheck parent mode i read here a while back that it could b a problem could anybody help me out so this wont happen you dont know how much ill really appreciated :cyclops:

thanks in advance to anybody who's nice enough
[Miscellaneous Android Development] flat_pro:
Hi,

I've been trying to root my Nabi 2 all morning without success. I can boot into recovery, and the JMZ script says its written a file but in TWRP I just get a file not found error...?

Has anyone found this before..?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
I don't see any error here the scrip looked like it did what it was supposed to. What issue are you experiencing?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
I add this for thought. I had a Arnova AN 7 G3 that had lines in Skype, I had to return it and that 1 had no problem with Skype. After checking everything I would the build date was 6 months later than the first. I uploaded the system. IMG to that forum and others installed it and also corrected the problem.

So need to see if any software differences in the Nabi with no android updating.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
I also am not seeing any errors. One day someone is going to have to do a video.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Try kids mode by zoodle in the app store. Same thing as the nabi mode, but better it has a timer to let kids play for whatever time you want. I am going to remove nabi everything and go with kids mode app.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Nabi has an update in testing right now that will add timing controls.

I used kids mode a month or two ago, so it may be better now, but it was super buggy and doesn't compare to nabi mode by a long shot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
If you look at the review for the Nabi XD the timer thing is part of the nabi mode. I bet when that comes out there will be an update to the nabi 2. Btw the nabi website said that they are also working on getting registered with google so they can have playstore.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
It's also nowhere near as bad as Nabi for trying to have your kids upsell you to a bunch of overpriced apps and so on. First thing I did with my Nabi was gut the stock software and replace it with Kids Mode.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] Dan in SA:
Has anyone figured out if int2ext or equivalents will work on this yet? It does have 4Gb of internal memory, but I've already eaten up 3Gb of that with apps and I haven't loaded any of my daughter's music on it yet. I found the stock Music app stores the music on the internal sdcard, and I'd like to be able to utilize the 16Gb micro card I stuck in it.

If no one has tried it yet, I'll give it a stab myself and see if I can't get /mnt/sdcard2 mounted to /sdcard, and /mnt/sdcard to /sd-int or something to that effect.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
Up sell or not, it doesn't change the fact that the functionality of Nabi mode is head and shoulders above kids mode. You can be bitter about having pre loaded demos or you can accept it and get better educational games anyways. I've used both, with actual kids, and the difference is blatantly obvious.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] knoxploration:
I'm not even slightly bitter. They sold me a tablet at a great price. But no, their functionality is not noticeably better. I too have used both; I spent some days testing before my son got the tablet. Most of Fuhu's additions were pointless fluff, and they weren't worth the cost in greatly increased advertising.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] xile6:
I need help asap.

I installed everything like said. And it all works. (not my frist time around android, been her since the start)

But some how i lost the photo app for the nabi kid side.

I have the gallary for the mom/dad side but it wont let me add the gallary app to the list for the kid.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] GuyIncognito721:
I believe this is a known issue. If you just root and don't install gapps, everything is fine.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stkiswr:
Is there anyway to fix the recovery? Mine is had, Burton presses are way off
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Known issue, search thread for open recovery script. You can still use the recovery, do anything you need to do in recovery but instead of touch screen. You utilize open recovery scripts.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
I don't have that issue. Is it in the kids app drawer but not home screen?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] xile6:
Nope not in the kids app draw. Its only on the other side. I got tired of trying to figure it out so i just installed another gallery app.

Its for my sister inlaw sons. I was setting it up n adding movies.

Still dont know why it wont show up i did delete it and repush it back to system and all that.

But he will be good with th other gallary app. but thanx.

Question

So since we don't have our own spot on XDA for the Nabi 2...forgive me if I put this in the wrong spot.

I have installed the stripped ROM for this device and now have noticed that in particular the game Riptide GP don't work correctly, the tilt sensor is not recognized for game play. Was wondering if any one has tried this game out? Worked fine out of the box as a demo.

I'm also looking for a working modified build.prop so the play store will see the Nabi 2 as a Nexus 7. I have searched and experimented with tweaking the build.prop my self and have no luck. If someone could share the magic settings on fixing this I would appreciate it. This might fix my issue above too.

I have three of these and need to finish my playing before they get wrapped.

Thank you.

full working rom backup

I did it!!!! i am right now uploading a full working nabi2 twrp backup with root and gapp working without any errors and everything working v1.9.37. will post the download link as soon as it is done uploading. this is the nabi2 stock rom with root and gapps preinstalled and working. there is no " android is upgrading " there is no missing programs, everything works like it should have from out of the box.....

merry christmas

note: you must upgrade your nabi to at least v1.9.23 to use this and have twrp installed

in twrp go to backup and do a backup. a folder on your sdcard or sdcard2 will be made twrp/backup/numbersandletters/

put my folder in the number and letters folder. everyones numbers and letters folder will be different cuz it is your serial number.

restart into twrp and hit restore find and click my rom and restore. then restart. don't clear any caches.

when you start up it will say "no user found" enter your nabi info then go into settings, accounts & sync and add your google account and remove the nabi2user account and your done.

if i helped you please hit the thanks button.

there you go, working v1.9.37 with root and gapps

here is the new file https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8a...nNmc3RLb2IxRTQ

here is the old file. https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8ayvHstY92nVGl0REhEVFR3QVU

this is a stock rom if you want to go back and don't have a backup https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8ayvHstY92nbUtZLUVTRlVrN2s

it is zipped up in a rar file. you will have to unzip it with winrar or anything that can do rar files. i didn't want to use the zip in fear someone would try to use install in twrp

Problems downloading??? open a google search page and sign in. leave the window open and click on the download link.

right now i am uploading a new file. the old one had one hickup. it worked fine for me but that was because my wifi settings were save so it could connect to my router and i would just put my login for nabi in and go but i found that if i tried the install at my friends house i would be stuck at the login for nabi and couldn't get to the wifi settings to turn it on but you can get around this by setting up a fake account and get to daddy mode and turn on the wifi. little bit of more work but still works.

the new file nabi2rootgappv1.9.37fullyworking.rar https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B8a...nNmc3RLb2IxRTQ will go right into daddy mode where you can turn on your wifi . make sure your wifi is on and then click nabi mode and enter your info. log back into daddy mode and go to play store and it will ask for your info. if you want your nabi to start in kids mode then you need to go to setting/security and uncheck " set parent mode as default mode " and hit the home button. next time you startup it will be in kids mode. your done enjoy

[Miscellaneous Android Development] t499user:
This is coming up more and more. There must be something just a little bit different in the models. Maybe we should start collecting info about when/where it was bought and any other relevant information. Of course I don't know what the other relevant information might be. Is there a model other than NABI2-NV7A?

So you've got eight of these things? Are they available anywhere for less than $199.99 now? I got one through Amazon for $130 on a lightning deal somewhere around Black Friday and if I can get a good deal on it, would like to get one more...

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 AM ----------

So this is a clean 1.9.37 with nothing else installed but root and gapps? If so, why is the backup so much bigger than than the Stock Rom backup? It looks like the data portion of the backup went from about 8MB to 930MB... that seems rather odd.

Did you take steps to remove the "Android is upgrading..." or did you just never have it? I'm assuming you also never had any Wi-Fi issues...

So if I'm on 1.9.37 right now, but have the "Android is upgrading..." and seem to have Wi-Fi issues every now and then, what should I do to install your TWRP backup?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] e2950:
i have astro file manager installed but other then that it is stock. the stock rom is in the per-installed state so the first time you run it then it will uncompress into the data and it will get larger then 8MB. after the first boot it jumps to 962MB of stock nabi software. i put it out this way so almost anyone can get it the way they want it. you don't want the data? then take the data file out before restoring and you will get a stripped down install with out all the add on games and just the basic nabi software with root and gapps working. install it as it is and you can uninstall what you like or keep it all.

get into twrp, do a backup, you will find your backup in twrp/backup/ddb237whe8/whatever you called your backup folder.

restart into system so you can find the backup folder and move files

this folder ddb237whe8 will be named something different on every nabi cuz it is your serial number. unzip my rar and put the unzipped folder in the serial number folder then reboot into twrp

hit restore and pick my file, then slide to restore. then when it is done reboot and you will be done with wifi problems and android is upgrading

[Miscellaneous Android Development] RageAgain:
I had this same problem when I tried the stripped ROM, the tilt sensor and camera both stopped working. I went back to my own image...

Oh, I forgot I was going to answer your build.prop question...

You need to edit the build.prop and change these four lines:

ro.product.model=NABI2-NV7A

...

ro.product.manufacturer=FUHU

...

ro.build.description=nabi2-user 4.0.4 IMM76L USA release-keys

...

ro.build.fingerprint=nabi/nabi2/mt799:4.0.4/IMM76L/USA:user/release-keys

to

ro.product.model=Nexus 7

...

ro.product.manufacturer=asus

...

ro.build.description=nakasi-user 4.2 JOP40C 527662 release-keys

...

ro.build.fingerprint=google/nakasi/grouper:4.2/JOP40C/527662:user/release-keys

I have not tried using the info from a Nexus 7 since it runs JellyBean, but I do use the info from an Acer A500 since it is a Tegra/ICS device...

That is as follows:

ro.product.model=Iconia A500

...

ro.product.manufacturer=Acer

...

ro.build.description=a500_ww_gen1-user 4.0.4 IMM76L 1333032611 release-keys

...

ro.build.fingerprint=acer/a500_ww_gen1/picasso:4.0.4/IMM76L/1333032611:user/release-keys

Which gives me greater market visibility and app compatibility ( i.e. I can load and run Gameloft games like Asphalt 6 ).

Then you need to stop the Play Store app and uninstall updates, and do not try to install anything from the Play Store until you are sure it has fully upgraded again...

Hopefully this info is not late and useless for you...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] reade0871:
So I understand the process. Thanks for this. My inquisitive noob mind however is bugging me to ask how the android is updating messages on bootup are related to whether or not your rom is odexed or deodexed? Can someone explain this to me? It seems not everyone is reporting the problem and no one other than a few have removed odexed files and installed deodexed files. I will ultimately be probably creating a custom stocked rom like the one in the other thread but need to know a little more first. Thanks.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
You are right. They all are the same. Too Bad cause a back up from a working 1 could fix it. Have you tried that with your 2? Take a backup system file and install on the 1 that doesn't work with twrp?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] stkiswr:
Thanks for the insight. I may just let it rebuild dalvik on reboots and not worry about it for now. My daughter is gonna flip out anyway lol. I was on latest 37 firmware. Well what ever latest is its back in the box wrapped up now. I got my daddy mode to my liking so no biggie at all.

If they decide to do another update I may just return to OEM stock and get myself a tablet. The nabi 2 is much nicer than I thought.
