I rooted my phone but I am still on stock odex 4.4.1 KitKat. The thing is that I can't find some of the apps on the play store while my brother who also has the nexus 5 but isn't rooted can find those apps. Some of the apps are dead trigger 2 and FIFA 14, I think it is because I changed my density in the build prop from 480 to 445 but is there any way I can still get all the apps on the play store without changing the DPI back to 480

If you change your dpi some apps won't be compatible. That's you problem

I figure why not and downgrade to the classic android market, don't care for Google play much. So how would I downgrade to a very early version like that and prevent it from re-updating back to Google play?

Well, you could find an apk somewhere for an older version (extract from a rom, for example) and delete/freeze market updater apk.
This is a good idea

[APK] Old Market v2.3.6
What coccolino_dbro said. Here's the apk for old Market v2.3.6. Got it from BlackICE ROM for HTC DHD.
Thank you, so I would freeze market updater with nobloat and then install this apk which would replace the current one?

I disabled the market updater with nobloat, that should hold right?

Does it work then?
Well I disabled it with nobloat, but after a reboot the icon changed and it upgraded to the version where the shopping bag android icon changed a little. So I tried freezing it, after a reboot it was back to Google play.

Do I need to delete the play store before installing the new market one?

I deleted the old one, installed the new one, and it won't stop crashing.

Guys, my phone's market is really screwed up, someone please help.

Try deleting MarketUpdater.apk and the Google Play apk through a root file browser. I think Google play apk is called Phonesky.apk and not Vending.apk. Anyway delete both those files from your /system/app folder and then move the old market apk to the folder. Set permissions to rw--r--r (same as all the other apps in the folder) and reboot. Should work now. Copy the MarketUpdater.apk to your SD card before deleting, just in case.

Nope needs framework to support it but I'm sure there's apps for this on the store.
i just updated my sgs4g from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and everything is extremely small does anyone know how to fix this problem?
update: I'm running CyanogenMod 10

Change your DPI to 240
use root explorer or any root file explorer to edit system/build.prop and change lcd density line from 180 to 240.
So I have to change it to 240 and the screen won't just black out after I reboot my phone cause I tried changing it to 190 to see it it would do anything and I had to completely reinstall my os
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
240 will do fine. Just change it via root explorer or notepad++ on PC.

Any solution to this?
I've modded dpi to 280 using the adb method, im not rooted.
Moto Camera worked fine, after the update it started detecting the swap camera button as a tap and used to take a pic. Had to rollback to factory version and it works fine now.
but, i cant crop images in any app.. it shows only one-fourth of the image and I can't pan / zoom. Crop is broken.
I didn't realize the DPI could be changed in adb, learn something new every day.

I use app settings and change Android system to 270. Everything seems to work. If I find a troublesome app, I change just that app to 320.

I believe it's "adb shell wm density “INSERT_DPI” && adb reboot" I've never had much luck with changing the DPI. Several apps that I really need refuse to install and/or update if I change it.
Have you guys tried this app? I'm on stock rooted and set to 280 without problems.

I'm not rooted, which is why I can't set individual dpi for apps.

Yeah but what about rooting to set and then unrooting? If your bootloader is locked I'd imagine you could do so safely too. I know it doesn't exactly work as you would like, but maybe a good workaround until you did? Just so you can have your apps optimized.

This just edits the build.prop....why the need for an app to do that?

OMG, really?!?!?! Would you please be kind enough to share the apk?
**edit**
nevermind, I found it. Thank you for letting me know!! You seriously have no idea how excited I am to have this one back!!! Screen rotation is absolutely HUGE for me, and I've been having to resort to half-baked root app solutions with more bugs than working parts since the lollipop update.
