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 use this lcd density modder there is a free version or pro either way u can just change back and fourth between dpi as i use 160dpi on mine but market seems to like only 240dpi which is stock on my device other thing u can do is have 2 build.props and just replace the end tag with .bak and reboot

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

Guys, how can i properly change lcd dencity? When i change it from 120 to 110, some apps like swype and dialer force close. Is there a way to avoid it?
the best density is the default one...
many apps would be incompatible with higher or lower densities and there is nothing you can do about that.

That's right....
Also Market detects some apps as incompatible....
You cannot install these apps, neither update them....
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.

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.
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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639213
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!
This is probably more of a general Android question and one that I've never been able to fully fix on any of my Android devices. When I change the dpi (currently on my RAZR HD VZW) it breaks several Play Store apps. Sometimes I can't download new apps because it will say "your device is not compatible..." and I can't even get updates to current apps I have installed. As soon as I change back to the default dpi and reboot, everything works perfectly. Is there a way around this when changing the dpi on an Android device?
Thanks,
caseym

Hi, where do you change it? Are you having a custom rom? basically you should fix the permissions, then all should be ok (on my HTC this was possible through the CodefireX settings, or an apk I used before being LCD modder); on stock I haven't seen these possibilities....

I just use Root Explorer, go into /system and open build.prop in Text Editor, change the line for lcd density, save & exit, reboot. It works and has always worked on all my devices, but like I said, it always breaks market apps.

right, do know (simply because I lost my root), but doesn't CMW have a "fix persmissions"? (coming back to my HTC I had 4ext & had this function) - basically when you fix the permissions all should be ok. remains the question now here where can you do it... (sorry, not that kind of a pro...)

Exactly! How do we do this now since we don't have CWM???
You can change the dpi of the Razr HD to 240 without breaking anything. Default is 320. And, if you use an alternative launcher, you can also set it to 200. I modified a script to allow the change easily... you can read about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002914
It's primarily designed for lapdock usage, but if you wish to just change your dpi for visual reasons, it'll work as well.

OK thanks a lot for that. 240 is a little too small for me, especially since it doesn't change it to tablet mode (like my GNex did when you set it below 260). Is there any way to enable tablet mode? Like Paranoid Android look?

Using a custom launcher and setting to 200 dpi does change to a tablet mode, sort of. Make sure you pick a launcher that has tablet functionality too. Apex launcher supports 200dpi and has tablet functionality, for example. I haven't tried higher dpi with Apex but you just have to play with it.
Ok, so in the past Huawei has decided on a few of their larger devices to go with 400 DPI instead of the standard 320 DPI that android should be at. This makes the UI a little to large. Sure you can root your phone and tweak the build.prop file for different DPI, but then icons look weird and there's other issues. 400 DPI just looks wrong to me, I'm sure some folks like it, but I really don't
I found something called "App Layout" in the settings today. This is awesome my friends.....
The "Standard" setting is 400 DPI (Default)
"Reduced" looks to be 320 DPI
There's even a custom where you can do per app DPI settings just like you can in Xposed framework!
This is truly a great piece of work from Huawei, Now we can set the DPI where we want it. Nicely done Huawei!
All we need now is to have the memory manager work a little better and I will go on record saying that other than Cyanogen or plain android, this is the best Vendor skin to date. So much you can do with it... I haven't even unlocked or rooted my phone yet and I don't think i'm going to bother (Plus I want to install all the update files without hassle since it seems like they are coming out pretty fast)

Yeah, it's great if you decide to stay stock as you don't have to do much to change the DPI. You can change the DPI also without rooting by opening a command prompt in adb and running a command.

That explains that ... My 702 is still on B103 ... No official updates have come yet for the internal updater.
the only problem though is that the Microsoft Office apps such as Word does not go to tablet mode despite it being set to reducing mode but whenever I tweak the dpi to 320 via adb, it does show in tablet mode but some app icons and task manager are a bit messed up. Other apps such as Facebook or Youtube does seem to display on tablet orientation when in reducing mode.

I think that has to do with teh odd 1920x1200 rez. If it were 1920x1080 then it probably would detect phone mode/tablet mode correctly

If I switch the dpi to 320 if I'm using that rom does the UI becomes a bit weird? I just wanna ask because whenever I switch the actual dpi to 320 via adb (with the original B109 rom), some of the icons are smaller and have green background in them and other glitches.

UI will be normal same as original B109 rom but font in app will be smaller.

If you use Nova Launcher, that fixes the icon problem.
For the unlucky ones with 702L. I found a possible fix (still testing) to set the dpi to 320 without issues in SwiftKey being huge for example. Need to be ROOTED. So this is what I did.
1. Edit the build prop and add/change both " qemu.sf.lcd_density=320 " and " ro.sf.lcd_density=320 "
2. Use terminal emulator with
Su
Wm density 320
Reboot.
Now Wm density should show one value not 2 and SwiftKey should work as well.
Cheers.
Nice. Been looking for the SwiftKey fix. So, for this fix to be working do you need to get it rooted? Cheers
On 2nd thought, this SwiftKey problem doesn't exist on other keyboard apps like fleksy, googles own and go keyboard.
Yes you have to be rooted for that. But being rooted has of course a lot of other advantages and is easy to do once the bootloader is unlocked (I used the paid option from the root guide and I was rooted within half an hour).
I tried the other keyboards as well, seems SwiftKey uses other parts of build.prop to get dpi.
Hope I could help.
