[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
So you are currently running rooted with no Google Play? So that means you are or aren't getting "android is updating"?

Secondly I was browsing my initial backup before any mods to the Nabi except adding recovery(TWRP). I noticed that my initial backup has gallery2.apk and gallery 2.odex, but now after 2 Nabi updates, root and gapps what is left is only gallery2.odex. It's of course been replaced with GalleryGoogle.apk and GalleryGoogle.odex. This is probably what breaks your gallery. I never had that problem were you clearing cache and dalvik during all of you updates/upgrades?

If anyone really wants the android is upgrading removed we can try to gather some information. Have Nabi updated to the latest rev, root installed, and gapps installed. Check for the following files and see what you have. It's time consuming...
