Nabi SE

An Android tablet for children running off a MediaTek MT8127 system-on-chip.

Unused Assets#

What appears to be a placeholder image for Barbie-related preloaded content can be found in /system/priv-app/fuhu_nabiMode/fuhu_nabiMode.apk, specifically within the /res/drawable folder inside the app package.

Assets from other editions of the SE, namely American Girl, Barbie, Hot Wheels and the like can be found in the /res/drawable folders. This is presumably to save on development resources i.e. use an (almost) identical ROM for all variants, only differing in configuration by way of the build.prop strings "ro.fuhu.product.special_project" and "ro.fuhu.product.device_edition" and certain exclusive apps e.g. streaming video players with variant-specific content.

Unused Theme Files#

In addition, what appears to be wallpapers and theme layout files for a supposed Thomas & Friends variant can be found within /res/drawable. No mention of an edition based on the British children's franchise is made on the Nabi website, which could mean that plans for the Thomas model (NBTY07SMKG_US_TF) may have been scrapped for unknown reasons, despite receiving FCC approval alongside the other licensed variants. It is however possible to somewhat reactivate the Thomas and Friends theme by editing relevant values in build.prop, though some elements such as shortcuts to videos and other Thomas-related media are missing.
