Facing to a strange problem i have got a lot of apps not compatible in play store to nexus s, i'm sure that many apps that now are marked as incompatible were compatible before.
Does anyone has got the same problem?
For me, I finally realized that apps were showing up as being incompatible because I switched my LCD density. Once reverting back to my screen's default density, I had several market updates appear, and apps that were showing up as incompatible were now downloadable.
If you use this modded market, you can change your density how much as you want to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582998

Hi tanks i solved using LCD Density Modder Pro.

I was just wondering what changing the DPI exactly does to our phone.
I've changed it to 190 and I think it looks very pristine.
I does look better but some apps in the market like google maps for example will not install. It will say its not compatible to your device, but you can always install these apps if you set it back to the original size.
You can also install them from the market.

Hi all.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (I9100) mobile. After using a CM rom and changed the LCD density to around 200 (standard is 240) - I can't imagine me going back to the standard density, it is just way to big.
However many apps and games in Market can't be downloaded and installed because of incompatibility. It is a real pain to default the density, clear cache on Market, reboot, just to install something from Market.
Isn't there a better way? A hacked Market that doesn't check for LCD density?
How about if I changed build.prop model to a mobile model that natively has 200 LCD density? Then Market wouldn't care, right?
Anyone know a model that I could try?
Best regards

It all depends on how the app developers limitations for screen size. There is no way around it at the moment
I used Rom toolbox to change my LCD density to 180 and that worked fine however in doing so many market apps either say incompatible or they disappear.
youtube update shows incompatible
netflix shows incompatible.
i purchased LCD Modder pro but that is so convoluted and hard to use AND it manangd to bootloop my phone just using the TEMP option for fix market app which stated (this will not harm your phone only not work)
so i used Rom tool box to change BACK to Density of 240
cleared my market data and cache
booted into CWM
cleared dalvik and fixed permissions 3 times each.
rebooted phone and still netflix is missing and doesnt show in the market.
what gives?
did rom Toolbox do something to my build.Prop now permanently? like stamp it with a line somewhere that is causing market issues?
the only way i can get things back to normal is by reinstalling the rom all over again. ugh...
ROM Toolbox and ICS
Hi,
I've been using ROM Toolbox as long as I've had a rooted Android phone. I recently paid for the pro version to get more customization of the framework. However, it appears that the only icon you can change in ICS is the battery (at least in RTB). I contacted the developer (who is a really nice guy and got back to me very quickly) and asked about this. From what I can gather, he's waiting until there is more development for ICS framework before updating ROM Toolbox to customize the UI as much as it could under GB.
With your specific problem, I recommend contacting him via e-mail. He is prompt in replying and may be able to offer an explanation/solution.
Hope this helps!
EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. I had some bad luck messing with LCD density before (on GB), so I just stay clear of that. While there's an advantage to gaining more real estate, the SR's screen is so big, I don't see the need. There are some launchers that let you expand the 4x4 grid, too.
He never gets back to me and all I want is a refund for the stupid thing. I hate that app.

Deleted post. Sorry didn't read thoroughly.
Change the density with toolbox and apply the permanent fix with lcd modder pro, works for me on mhx ics 5.1 perfectly.
I read that changing the density with lcd modder will cause boots loops.
Boot loops and screen density
Hey there
I ran into a similar problem - was running SKY ICS UCLD2 (Seans) - First Base, update 5 and downloaded LCD Density Modder Pro. Set the resolution to 190, which I had read was usable, and the phone went into a blank screen bootloop. I ended up reflashing, and then sean released an update with the modified 190 resoution. I flashed that after some more updates, and found I could no longer add applications from the market (Incompatible Device etc). I reinstalled LCD Density modder Pro, and chose the permanent market app fix and it's worked flawlessly for me..
So, you too can probably use LCD Density Modder Pro to fix your market problems.
I am very tempted to try setting things via ROM Toolbox - apparently 210 should give closest to actual density.
Does anyone know acceptable resolutions for Google play? I use a thunderbolt and lower the density to 160, recently went to 190 and I like it there. The annoying party is Google play doesn't think my can rum the apps....so I change resolutions revoir install/update then return to my resolution of choice. This is a pain in the as...I've installed pdiddys market but it doesn't stay. After 1 reboot the hack is gone and I have to reinstall, reboot and I'm in the same boat again...not to mention of Google ever updates the market again I'll have to get an"updated"hack....anyone know how to find resolutions Google play well accept?

I want it to work like normal. no rebooting. I use room toolbox to change density. I think this whole density crap is dumb
I use LCD density modder pro. Comes with modded market that will spoof your density. Dev updates to latest market when available
you'll need a modded market + gsf. it won't be replaced on boot unless you did something very wrong.
the standard dpis are 120, 160, 240, 320

as the user demo says it comes with modded market so no need to reboot
I just tried changing DPI, and while it worked, it killed everything in the process.
Apps are missing from the market.
Touchwiz is not at all adjusting (On SKY ICS)
Dialer also didn't feel like adjusting
Everything else is looking good. What was your solution? Finding a different launcher?

You'll have to get a tweaked version or modify it yourself (LCD Modder), with a non supported display google play will not display certain apps that dont support it.
I use apex launcher and GO contacts. No issues with DPI. You can use LCD Density Modder Pro to fix the play store. I do not recommend actually changing DPI with it as it gave me a boot loop and screwed up my phone forcing me to do a restore. This may be an isolated incident.

Apps missing from market: This is because you changed DPI. You have two options:
Download LCD Density Modder Pro and use "Fix Market Compatibility Issues"
Use the fix located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639213
Touchwiz not adjusting: Touchwiz doesn't do well with a modded DPI. I'd use a different launcher such as Apex, GO Launcher, ADW Ex, etc.
Dialer not adjusting: Stock dialer will not adjust. Try exDialer or Dialer One
I personally run my DPI at 206 and have not had any issues with bootloops. For our device, I wouldn't try running anything lower than 190.
Hit "Thanks" if this helps
Edit: NOTE! Don't use LCD Density Modder Pro to change the DPI, just to fix the Market. It doesn't do well with changing the DPI on the Skyrocket.

Any reason 206 vs 200? Prolly not much of a difference but still curious. Also guess that confirms lcd Modder Pro issue I had is not isolated.

206 is the native density according to the specs (so I've heard, can't remember where I read it).
That said, I have mine at 206 as well and don't have any issues. I switched to exDialer for the phone.
Only issue I have is with Mort Player... it installed on stock, and is still installed, but the market no longer sees it on the phone (still says it's compatible from the web, though), so I can't upgrade it... Bah!
