The Nabi 2 has some messed-up permissions and controls on it. I need to install another OS on it and my nephew will use it. He likes our Kindle Fire better because you can watch YouTube and Netflix a lot easier. The parental controls were a good idea, but this is **way** too much. p.s., I kind of want to install plain ...
