[GUIDE] Market Compatibility Fix for LCD Density Change! - Android General

Love your new LCD density but hate the Market showing all your favorite apps as incompatible? Here's a fix discovered by insink71 over at the CM Forums. I have personally tested it, and can confirm it working for my device.
This fix is quite simple, and doesn't require uninstallation of the Market update every time it reinstalls itself.
1. Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage applications >> All.
2. Scroll down and click on Market.
3. Click on the "Clear data" button.
4. Using whatever method you favor, change the LCD density to 160 for now.
5. Reboot your device.
6. Go to the Market and click the Accept button when prompted.
7. Go back and change the LCD density back to whatever you like.
8. Reboot your device.
Done! The Market should now work properly

Very good guide! Thank you for sharing it with the community

Thank you for your hard work at making a bloat free ROM for my little phone

Confirm to working!

nice find!! atlast a solution to one damn problem

I try it but ... when i go on market to choose my application to DL (example GTA3 , when i click on install it's say : not compatible!)
damn it !! >.<

Doesn't work for me.

Didn't work here, after this procedure I changed to 200dpi, then on market search for google maps and got no results

Doesn't work for me too

Found a post with another solution, haven't tested it myself yet but seems feasible.

What about you never had any updates. I have a kindle fire so i had to push apk to system/app originally. Deleted botje the googlesevicesframework and vending data also I tried to delete vendin apk and install the one from OP and it tries to copy over old when when i had already deleted it. Maybe im doing something wrong ....can this modded apk work with the kindle ??

reading that thread looks like the patch isn't "sticking" though.... they're doing it without the GSF patch and maybe that's the problem?

Thanks for taking a look at this issue. I have reviewed these changes and it makes sense why the "DPI Hacked" versions that I posted are not "sticking". The only problem I can see is that the version of GSF in this thread is not matching either the official "20110828" or the official "20120317" ICS version of Google Apps. When I compare GSF versions, I get a lot more changes than just seeing a one line difference in /GoogleServicesFramework/smali/com/google/android/gsf/checkin/CheckinRequestBuilder.smali. Can you tell me what version of GSF was used? It says 2.3.7, but its not the same as my version.
Also, all the changes made in your DPI modified version of Vending.apk seem ok, except, I'm not sure why there are changes to res/menu-v11/actions.xml and some of the other resource files. The "cleanest" way to package this is to copy the modified classes.dex into an unaltered version of Vending.apk. This way, apktool will not do anything funny to the resource files and doing a file comparison will not show a bunch of unwanted changes.
I would also like to mention that these files will not work for ICS or any DPI other than 240.
Attached are my logs of the file comparisons to the original versions. Thanks.
Is this one working with ics?
Got the .15 version working with 182DPI and it doesnt revert using density modder.
Tried some from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827
But does not stick.
Seems you also have to install the GSF for it to work.

I can confirm this as well on Nexus S (240dpi) with AOKP M5. I never use Talk on my phone though so for me it's an acceptable bug.

The GSF apk has "signature" protection enabled in it's AndroidManifest.xml. You could either change "signature" to "normal" so the protection is disabled, or you could resign the other apk's (such as talk.apk) so the signature matches. For example, if I modify GSF.apk and sign it with my "test key", then the signature protection within the apk will only trust apps that are signed with the "test key".
This doesn't seem to be working for me. I cleared Market data, copied both APKs and rebooted, and now I have the latest Play Store version but still I can't install a lot of apps -- mostly they don't even show up when I search on the phone.

[APP] Dpi Changer

This is Not my app. i didn't make this.. leave all the Thanks to the OP in the Link below..I came across this app in the galaxy Note 2 forums and was wondering if it would work on the Note 10.1.
I tried it and yes it did work..Its an app that changes the dpi of any app.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067303
Here are the files i used below..
ROOT IS NEEDED FOR THIS APP
Steps Guide..
1. Install both apps below
2. Open Xposed installer
3. Click install/update (let it run until it ask to reboot) before rebooting click the Modules tab at the top and check the box for xposed app setting
4 .Now reboot the tablet
5. Once rebooted go to Xposed App settings app
6. Find the app you want to change dpi and click on it
7. Click the switch button on (right side of screen. It should turn Green)
8. In the dpi box on the left side of screen change it to whatever u like.
9. On the top Right click save button to save changes and click Yes to restarting the app
10. Now hit the launch button beside the save button to launch the app.(repeat steps 8-10 until u find the size u like)
I see a few have tried the Mod and was wondering if it worked for whoever tried it? Many others will also wanna know before they try it out

[Fix] NA1/NA5_Work around to enable installation of non-market apps and disable googl

Hello Users/Readers:
I'm just your average Falsh-o-holic, who combs through all of the S4 threads to find what's been accomplished/useful information. I have not come across this work around, so I decided to post this info users of the NA1/NA5 Roms who cannot access the Security, settings option.
Disclaimer:
Use this info at your own risk. I am not responsible if this breaks your device.
I am posting this info using my XDA app. I also did this without the need of a PC. Please do not ask for links. Everything I used can be found on this web site, play store or google, except for the kernel. I'll try to be specific. Feel free to add links if you want to help other Users.
My Phone/ROM info:
Confimed working on an US AT&T SGH-I337 S4. I believe this will work on all S4 models. I currently am running Echo Rom v14 (NA5), with old bootloader and wifi working kernel (had to flash the loki doki.zip as well, which can be found all over the AT&T S4 thread).
Links of this kernel have sadly been removed.
I also use the AT&T MK2 modem - I intitially got 4G speed/icon.
I had to preform a few adjustments to the build prop and created a new PTA apn to achieve a stronger LTE connection.
I flahed the Att CSC fix zip (Can be found on the Virgin Rom thread in the OP.) as well.
Tools needed for this permission edit:
SQLite Editor or similar app.
I used SQLite Editor v2.0.1
Solution:
1) Using SQLite editor (in the apps menu) I scrolled down to the Settings Storage app and selected it/pressed it.
2) On the next screen I selected/pressed on the settings.db option.
3) Find the line that reads - install_non_market apps (line 19 for me) and press on it/select it. Then select the edit option (pencil icon top of the screen).
4) Change the value from 0 to 1 and save.
5) In the same menu, navigate to the line that reads - package_verifier_enable (line 86 for me) and change the value from 1 to 0 and save.
Last - Reboot your device and enjoy installing apks from your external/internal storage cards, xposed app, etc., without access to the Security settings option.
Please do not make any other changes because you can possibly harm your device.
These 2 simple edits will stop the current FC's we experience when trying to install and app without using the play store and disable the annoying pop-up thak asks if you want google to check for harmful blah, blah, blah. Will work even if you've pressed OK already, which I did my mistake.
Again feel free to post links to assist other Users. I Hope this helps everyone with old (4.3) bootloaders who cannot access these setting.

I would love to but do not have the proper hardware to do so. I have laptop running with an AMD64 processor, but it came installed with Vista,32 bit. I also have a desktop with Windows 8,32 bit. From what I've read a PC running a 64 bit OS is necessary. Let me know if there is some I can do with my equipment. I've never tried to build because of this but would do so if I could.

You grab the build one (i.e. v14) and you make it so that Americans (which i have soooo many friends i want them to be happy) can use it
Thats all
No need to cook it from scratch! You will be grabbing the latest Echoe everytime
No pressure my friend at all!!
I thought it would be awesome way especially for Americans to be on the 4.4.2
And there is no way i could do it and fully support another thread....
No hurry!! We can talk any details you want my man!!
I was impressed about your discovery here!! I love to see this kind of thinking!! Thats what got me to discover the"wifi trick" for the 4.3... Thinking completely paradoxically and "outside of the box"

Great find. I had already changed build prop to att and did a dirty flash to get most of my app installed but this will allow those that didn't to work. It makes the Echoe a truly workable Rom for ATT users and a DD candidate. I agree with Friedrich420 this is what the forums are about,
Edit: Tried this and still have a problem with downloading some apps. Get a pop up "can't store internal storage or sd card"
Hmm. Just tried "sqlite editor pro free" and when I got to settings.db to open it, it gives me "an error occurred while opening the database". Rebooted to make sure everything was settled, but still no luck. Went to buy the $2.99 version of sqlite editor, but it couldn't install onto either my sd card or internal memory. Might be the rom, but this leads to the whole point of needing the work around. Maybe a lost cause.

[Q] SM-T211

Dear all,
I sincerely seek help into my rooted device, SM-T211.
It was working fine until today, which I found out that the google play store is not working. It was represented as loading but not connected. When I retry, nothing works. Thus I looked online and they asked me to clear the cache and data at setting > apps.
I did but it didn't work for me...
Another solution arises and suggest me to factory reset.
Being a awful noob I reset it.
So the device woke up WITHOUT A KEYBOARD. (I deleted it...)
So I connected it to the computer and downloaded swiftkey. At least I've a keyboard now!
BUT. Under settings > add account > google is not working. not loading not prompting me to add account. Like the selection was not available.
Yes, the google play store is still not working.
Although I'm able to download the games and apps by other means but not having my account logged on means I cannot purchase anything from the store, not even using Freedom.
This is so bad, please help me!
I'm suspecting that I might delete an important system app of google or some sort...
But I can't seem to restore it or google a list of apk/system files that I need. My device is SM-T211.
I'm desperately finding answers on google but nothing showed up :'(
I'm sorry that I'm a noob but still want to root my device... (I don't even know whats flashing ROM all that... omg help)
Please help me through this tide.
Thank you very much in advance!!

Hey there! Thanks a lot for your help and advice and I tried it out, it worked! But unfortunately I wasn't able to find the correct file for this device... I ended up choosing the one for my country because the website don't have the baseband version of this device...
My device baseband version is T211XXAMFN
Was working well until again the connection failed at play store again... I think is device is beyond hope now T. T :'(
Hello! I finally figured it out! At first it was not working even clearing the cache, data and even force stopped the Google play store. But after using the root Explorer I was able to use play store by going into root Explorer > etc > host and add a # to the ip address... I still want to thank you all for helping me!

[GUIDE] How to enable Google Now on Tap and Cards in every country [ROOT]

Hello XDA,
I'd like to share with you this quick, easy tutorial about how to enable Google Now on Tap and Cards in every country and network carrier that doesn't support this service.
But first of all you must be on Lollipop or Marshmallow based ROM (I assume you are)
And most importantly you MUST be rooted. What is root? Just Google it. Do it only when you know what you're doing I'm not responsible for anything goes wrong with the process of rooting. But this tutorial itself is not harmful.
What you need is an app called Market Unlocker (attached below) simply download and install it..... And you MUST have a SIM inserted at least one (I assume you have one already)
Step1: Remove ALL your google accounts. This is EXTREMELY important.
Step2: Open the app you just installed (Market Unlocker)
Step3: Enable the unlocker to USA Verizon.
Step4: Give it root permissions.
Step5: Reboot your system.
Step6: Press your search button (hold home button on nav bar)
Step7: Tap on get started and add your google account.
Step8: Enjoy Now on Tap and Cards.
PS1: you can uninstall Market Unlocker app but don't disable it. Just keep it enabled and uninstall it. Otherwise, you WILL lost Now on Tap and Cards.
PS2: these steps doesn't modify your EFS data which means when you perform a factory reset or clean flash a new ROM, you have to do the process all over again.

Well, it works, it has worked for a long time, but this is not a quick and easy tutorial if it includes rooting.

Google introduced Google now on tap in Marshmallow so unfortunately there is no way to enable it on lollipop.
This method enables Google now on tap on older devices but on newer devices, it enables Google Assistant so I need to update my thread but don't really have time. :/
