Fuhu Nabi2 Common issues and FAQ.

Glad it helped you out! It's a great little tablet.

To make Nabi2 more like a regular tablet now that you have Root and Google Play, you can prevent the tablet from starting Nabi Mode/Monarch UI by checking the box in Settings>Security>'Set Parent Mode as default mode'.

You can also remove the files in the /vendor/app/ folder if you want to free up some space. Just make sure to have 'Parent Mode as default mode' checked before you remove these files, or when you reboot the tablet it will give you a blank screen.

NvCPLSvc.apk, fuhu_AddApps.apk, fuhu_AppZone.apk, fuhu_Books.apk, fuhu_ChoreList.apk, fuhu_Crafts.apk, fuhu_Fan-a-tech.apk, fuhu_KidzMode.apk, fuhu_NabiCare.apk, fuhu_NabiCloud.apk, fuhu_NabiSpinletsPlusICS.apk, fuhu_NabiSpinletsPlusParentICS.apk, fuhu_NabiSync.apk, fuhu_OOBE.apk, fuhu_ParentalDashboard.apk, fuhu_SpinletPlusVideo.apk, fuhu_SwitchKids.apk, fuhu_TreasureBox.apk, fuhu_University.apk, fuhu_Videos.apk, fuhu_Web.apk, fuhu_nabiMD.apk

I used ES File Explorer to remove the files. First you have to go into the ES File Explorer settings and check all the boxes in 'Root Settings'. Alternatively you could use the file manager in the custom recovery we flashed in the first post or any other file manager with root capabilities.

If you need to get into fastboot or recovery manually, turn off the Nabi2 and then hold the vol+ and power button until the menu comes up. You use the vol- to navigate and the vol+ to select.

Some games on the Fuhu Nabi2 use openfeint, to disable/block this you can install AdAway https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adaway and add the following to the blacklist. This prevents the program from contacting the openfeint servers.

openfeint.com
api.openfeint.com
scoreloop.com

Some Games that use openfeint:

Fruit Ninja, Tiny Wings, The Moron Test, Robot Unicorn Attack, Championship Manager series, Bomberman Touch 2: Volcano Party, Fieldrunners, geoDefense, geoDefense Swarm, Minigore, Pocket God, Rollercoaster Rush, Jetpack Joyride

If you really, really messed up and have to restore the device back to stock because you didn't follow directions and lost wifi etc etc, I created a thread for restoring to factory from scratch. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35287470

ANDROID UPGRADING MESSAGE:

If you used a different gapps other than the one posted above or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2065878 you will probably get an "Android Upgrading" message every time you reboot. This is caused by two stray odex files that need to be removed/deleted. You can just install the new gapps package or take care of the files manually.
