Then we are going to need 3 different lockscreens. Find 3 different images 1440 px by 900px and pm them to me :)

I was looking at minion pics too, but there are too many. Remember the size needed.

Help please

I have a NABI2NV7AD and it says I'm up to date with 1.1-release-keys, but i read it goes up to at least 2.1 now.

Also it boots into recovery and said its pushed the root and gapps, but does nothing.

Any advice? What am I missing?

EDIT looks like I have the Disney ver with 4.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46162285
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
Make sure you push the disney recovery. Your running jellybean I believe so the version will be diffrent as ICS is up to 2.1 Also I'm not sure how big the system partition is with disney/nick but on the regular nabi we had to delete wings to make room for root and gapps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saw429:
Got it working, backed it up, rooted, and gapps without having to remove anything.

Thx.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Make sure it's a .png & you need a second picture for the unlock 88 h/91w with transparent background. Also to resize Fireworks does a better job of compressing. Go into Firework/file/batch process/scale.

Suppose to be studying for finals,will take lockscreen request over this weekend, that of course if all pictures have been done already, if not then it will take longer.

Also noticed I am running Play Store version 3.5.11 still have not posted lock screen for public because I need to find out why we need to downgrade Play Store to run these lock screen mods. Eventually I will post all of them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Any feedback on the new lockscreens, did you have to downgrade Play Store?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
Sorry went to store during first nap time lol she's up and crazy now. I'll upload one in abit as it's almost second nap time. It'll be up by 3 est

Ok no second nap. She's over energetic and too smart so she will see me hide it lol. To avoid any problems with framework I'll pull mine because the store just updated then patch in the screens straight into the current one. Should we be patching the store so it won't update? I know lucky has something that would do the trick.

Minimal Nabi 2 features working

Thanks to DarkAngel for help in figuring out which apk I was missing. Now here is the list before deleting anything make backup with TWRP and backup system/vendor/apps & data/apps to an external sd card. Then read this post twice.

I am not responsible if you brick your device, you are choosing to do this mod yourself.​

If any apps are left over on Nabi Mode launcher and you cant remove them; go to settings/apps/all apps/nabi mode/clear cache & data/reboot.

I noticed some apps like Fruit Ninja, Angry Birds etc says not a compatible device on Play Store, what I did is download to phone GS3, then used Titanium Backup go to Batch actions/Create “update.zip” from app + data backups/Run/choose which games to place in a flashable zip file/rename update.zip to games.zip. Place in external card flash in Nabi TWRP recovery, voila you have all the incompatible games from Play Store.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] RageAgain:
Just FYI, but I don't have this issue...

My main reason for responding was to ask you a question in reference to your trying this. Did you by chance copy all of the content, including the hidden, to the sdcard2 before you tried altering the vold file? There are files on the sdcard without which the Nabi 2 won't work correctly if at all....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
Since I'm not getting this upgrading android thing I can't really troubleshoot it. But I can suggest a few things

Make a backup first

1. wipe dalvik-cache in recovery and reboot. It will do the upgrade thing on first boot. If it does it again on second boot continue to next.

2. Wipe dalvik-cache and cache in recovery. It will say upgrading on first boot. Reboot again and if it does it again on second boot then continue.

3. Factory reset in recovery. Reboot. Setup and reboot again. See if it does it again on second boot after factory reset.

If after all this it still does it then I will need some stuff from your tab.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
Good ideas. I did all of these things when the issue started. It has not gone away. Actually, all 3 devices that I support do this. Do you have 1.9.23 installed via ota? I think that's the common thread. Also the upgrading issue only happens when running rooted, or maybe gapps. I tried the last tablet just ota, no root or gapps and it didn't do it. Its like system doesn't check out or something with the extra files in it.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] dottat:
Yeah.. i feel pretty stupid about that. So fixated on that bottom menu and the big kid buttons i totally forgot to click the normal app drawer button in the upper right hand corner. It was so bad my wife actually suggested it...:laugh:

Anyways.. works great.. i couldn't be happier. I have the upgrading apps message too on boot and did install the OTA over wifi. I don't see it as a huge deal (yet).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
I rarely reboot...and nothing seems awry while running..so I agree it's not that big of a deal.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Thanks for your reply, I will try the suggestions about updating on boot and see if that helps.

On the scared/sdcard2 suggestions, very good suggestions. I have copied all files to sdcard2 before altering vold file, you have to or it won't work. Always have with other devices and no problem. But maybe I'm not getting the hidden files, so I will try it again and see if that maybe my problem. Have you switched yours? Would be good to know if yours did work. If so maybe I'm not altering enough or doing the vold file correctly.

Thanks
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jmz:
Have you tried this on other native ICS devices? If not it might require a ramdisk edit
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Yes they all were native ICS devices, only rooted of course. There are several threads on xda of people doing this on different cell phones and tablets on 2.3, 3.2 and 4.0+. That is were I learned how to do it after Google how to change sdcard to ext sdcard or change sdcard to sdcard2. Makes a device with 4g much better, no worry about not enough room for apps an such. Nabi would be a super device if this could be done. Just tried it again making sure that I had all files didn't work. What happens is I can't access or see sdcard2/ext sdcard at all in es file explorer, if I open tablet setting/storage it closes and say unfortunately storage has closed. Not sure how to do ramdisk edit, is it thru adb? If so what would the commands be.

Thanksdone
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
Ok I did your 1,2,3 and after factory reset, I would get updating android 97 files then on second boot I would get updating android 42 files and updating 42 files from then after. So I went back to my stock TWRP backup and started from scratch, I did this two times, first time I installed the gapps from within your root folder. Second time I installed gapps for ICS 4.29.2012. Your gapps the same thing, gapps for ICS the same thing, except on 2nd and all other boots now I get android updating 18 files. I'm on factory OTA 1.9.23-release-keys Hope this helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] damreal:
I'm under the impression from videos on youtube there is no need to root in order to run the native Android underlay and add the Google Play app ! My only need to do so would be to add Netflix for my kids and maybe a few game apps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ajac:
isnt the video on youtube the orginal nabi and not the nabi 2?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
I saw that video today but it was for the Nabi 1, not sure if it will work for the Nabi 2. Thought about going back to stock to try it. This way setup by jmztaylor, with TWRP recovery works really well, plus it does a backup of stock before it finishes rooting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
I ran the play store on the nabi 2 pre root..but you can't install or update anything without crashing the play store app. You have to copy your apks from another device or other source. Weak compared to root and custom recovery.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nycorduroy:
So the wife and I are starting our Christmas shopping and decided on this tablet for our 3 year old. My only initial concern was can we get our son

apps from the google app store. And what you know, I do a little search and come across this thread. I've been rooting/romming for awhile now. Started with the DX and just put AOKP on the wifes S3. Even with my familiarity I still have some questions from those in the know.

I've read all 18 pages of the thread but see some mixed info sprinkled about. I want to set it all up before I give it to him so what exactly is the best

procedure??

Option 1 or 2?? Seems like option 1 is better as it does the Gapps from the get go. Or is it better to separately download Gapps and install them separately in recovery??

Lastly, how exactly does this PDaNet program work?? Do I have the Nabi turned on and connected to the pc and then install the PDaNet software?? This software automatically configures all necessary drivers for the nabi 2???

I think that is it and I appreciate any info that anyone could provide.

Much appreciated,

Nycorduroy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
This is what I know, someone correct me if I'm wrong. The OP has suggested option 2 as 1 is not working that well. I connected to windows 7 and it installed everything for me as far as drivers. I do have a lot of android programs installed so maybe that's why I didn't need pdanet. Have nabi2 turned on and connect usb, make sure the drivers are installed. You can adb or use install.bat in jmzrootpackage, gapps is in that folder or you can download separately. The install.bat will make a backup of your system before you are rooted, which is great if you want to go back. Follow the instructions on install.bat and be patient. I saved the stock backup on the micro sdcard as in is a little over 1gig, TWRP can't access your sdcard as its called sdcard2 so you would have to move stock recovery back to use it. You also need to do the OTA update if its not already on your Nabi2 before you root. Think that covers most everything.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nycorduroy:
Thank You ALD3. All seems simple enough.

Nycorduroy
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DZLRULZ:
Make sure you do the ota to v23 before you root, or it won't work and you'll be stuck with the old kernel. I've done 3 devices now..they all work great.

Vold file

Hey all... I have read all 18 pages of this thread and want to thank ALL of you guys both personal on the development side and question side because without either this thread would not be near as awesome as it is :highfive: I purchased 2 of these tablets one for my 4 year old son and another for my sisters son who is also 4 and have followed Jmztaylor's VERY user friendly instructions without any problems other then just the little android updating thing that a number of people have when I power down the tablet completely which I can live with.. Any how let me get around to my question ha which actually has been asked at least 2 times now and touched on lightly in response... Can someone upload a modified Vold file that sets the sdcard 2 as the internal storage? I did this to my LG Esteem and it works awesome since some off the desirable games are 1.2GBs+ in size but of course I was able to find the modified Vold file on Android Forums.com which actually was just a forwarding link to this wonderful forum :laugh: If its not to hard to modify it myself of course im open to someone helping me do it myself :victory:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ALD3:
vold.fstab

I agree with you and I have tried several ways to change the vold file, with no success. Haven't been able to get any help with this so far. I was able to alter on AN7G3 Arnova tablet with ICS 4.0.3 and really made a difference. This would be great on the Nabi 2. If ANYONE know how, Please shw us how. TIA
[Miscellaneous Android Development] brownel02:
Morning folks,

I am planning on getting two of these for my kids (one for each kid). Now that root and Play Store is working it is a no brainer. Quick question for the group, what version of android is this little tablet running? Is it ICS or JB?

Thanks. I am sure I will be back to ask questions and contribute once the kids get the toys for Xmas.

Great work.

New Minion Lockscreen

So here is the first Minions lockscreen!

​

And also have the newest Play store edition

​

So I have no idea why it force closed on me, (maybe just my Nabi)I used the pokeman210.zip made by aicjofs, so all the credit goes to him, anyone using the new lockscreens make a donation, or at least click the Thanks button for his NabiLab & zip he provided for the Nabi community.

I installed the new Playstore apk found here

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23189362627839727
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Wow this thread exploded. Usually a few days away from the forum and maybe you only miss one or two posts! So where are you on the force close issue right now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
When I first flashed hellokittt210.zip, had FC, I fixed it by clearing the play store update. But since then I have installed the play store apk. And I could flash any lock screen mod.

Next one is going to be Umizoomi, would like to place all the zips maybe on your site. Or would you like me to post them here?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
New Umizoomi Lockscreen

Getting faster at this, finished up Umizoomi. Now going to make a few more girl lockscreen, Ariel is next!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
One of my little girls is into Lady Bugs, Tinkerbell, etc. My other is into reptiles right now so seeing your dinosour one she wanted one with lizards LOL. I have some pics at home that I will be making into lock screens when I get the chance to. Just throwing ya idea's.....
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
So is it based on procedure? i.e You had to down grade install then re upgrade? Now anyone you make with 7zip just works? If thats the case can you just replace lockorig.zip in old Nabilab and use the script?

Post them where you want it's your very useful project. You can start a new thread on themes, there is kind of one that fizzled out:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2091805&highlight=nabi+theme

Of course since XDA won't give us a sub forum it's hard to find things so you are free to post them on Nabtabhacks forum. I'm not sure what upload size I have set, or I could make you an author on the Wordpress main page, although that could make the posts get easily lost too. If you just want to host them we could do that also.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DarkAngel:
Quick question going a bit off topic. Have you all used a screen shot app for our Nabi2's yet? If so which one/s? May it's me but I have not had any luck finding a good one for it or maybe I have not looked hard enough.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
I dont know if it was procedure, now that I am thinking about it, NabiLab only installed root but no gapps (maybe inpatient) and I then flashed the first t499users_fuhu_nabi2_gapps.zip that was released back when android upgrading error on boot was happening; from my external card in TWRP recovery ( I had saved that file in my main computer). Not sure if it had to do with Nabi changing from odex to deodex files on the first update from 1.9 to 2.0 . But noticed force close on keyboard, play store, and from past experiences I had an idea it was maybe the gapps or it was the play store so I cleared out the cache,data, and uninstalled updates, maybe went over board but panicked because I bricked my daughter first Nabi (but restored with backup someone posted and openrecoveryscripts, and Linux terminal.

So my conclusion it's was maybe an outdated gapps I installed that gave me the FC on keyboard, and Play Store. Only way to find out is to restore stockunrooted and go thru the whole procedure, which I do not want to do. Because I have it all set up with the minimal Nabi features and currently working good. Am able to flash any lockscreen mods to Nabi without having any issues.

I am not familiar with the old NabiLab, I guess I have the newest one that does not offer to install lockscreens, I was out of the Nabi forums for a long time since my daughter decided to throw the Nabi in the pool. :crying:

Never saw that thread (in the link posted), this is the first thread I found with Nabi and just trying to contribute back a little.

I guess I was looking for the easiest way to share these lockscreens definitely do not to start a website for a few zip files, I new thread might be a good idea but not really feeling it. I dont need to be an author in WordPress I could just PM the zips and picture.and you post them in your download page under Nabi 2 heading.

Any feedback on the lockscreens to the people I shared with? Anybody want to make a backup in TWRP and try these lockscreen mod? And report back any feedback?

Here is the most current, I don't like how the Umi logo is covered by the clock, ah will try a different wallpaper for umizoomi. Ariel coming next!

​

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 PM ----------

I will look into Tinkerbell, trying to get a few lockscreens out for girls. What takes me the longest is finding the pictures, you find me what ever your daughter likes and send it to me PM. 1400px by 900px and a small icon or some type of picture for the unlock.png. For example the Ariel lockscreen will have Ariel and Flounder fish as the unlock.png

Updated Umizoomi lockscreen

​
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yournamehere:
I love the new screens. What the easiest way to pull the framework? I tried using es to copy it but it was 0 bytes lol. I'm working tomorrow so not to much coming from me but I put together a few minion ones. Also is there anyway to create an app that would inject these on the fly? That way you don't need to keep going into twrp, maybe have it search xyz folder for zips of the screens, show a screen shot preview, then you choose what you want and on net reboot it will take effect? It maybe to much work but it might make the end result faster. I have no exp in android programming but I'll take some time to learn if there is interest lol.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Did you check your PM?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Eric Karz:
you can pull a copy of it with the twrp file manager .

I use File Manager (Explorer) . it has root and mount options.

some files can stop your device from booting in to android .

I recommend you keep a copy on the Sd card before you edit it .

then you can go in to TWRP and copy back the original file if that happens.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] \m/:
Do we have a guide to changing the partition sizes for the original Nabi 2 yet? I know it has been done already, but wasn't sure if there was a guide.

We picked up some Nabi's for the kids for Christmas, and I like the idea of being able to have Wings and gapps installed, as both would be very nice to have.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] katinatez:
Just placed 64GB cards on both Nabis. The now to load up with cartoons for kids :D

Obviously I have already tested them on my Nabi since I am providing a picture of my tablet for proof, if you flash please make backup prior to doing so. And as courtesy please provide feedback.

Thank you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] aicjofs:
Not yet it seems. I was trying to come up with a partition layout that would be optimal for most situations but that seems impossible. There are at least 3 different ones I could see people being interested in. One where you take from cache and give to system to be able to fit gapps, root and theme. One where people want to do away with all Nabi stuff and get back some of the addon space and give to data. One where you can convert a regulat Nabi to a Disney/Nick(even though it's a questionable act)

The other thing I'm not sure about is that typically the end of the data partition has space for encrypting data. The ramdisk's fstab includes the knowledge of this, but nvflash does not like it when I try and include that space. I don't know if it's not there can you get corruption on the data partition?

I've been busy this month so far in normal life let alone the update for NabiLab GUI and the Jellybean mod for the original Nabi, but if someone wants to volunteer to try re-partitioning I can share the files and the knowledge. It's something that needs to get done if we are to continue adding functionality or updates to the tablet. I'm still a little leery of just turning it loose on the masses as I just haven't had enough time to convince myself it's foolproof.
