sorry it was late when I post this but the runny v3.3 rcmix3d is in the desire hd thread. But yeah it could be in the build prop settings but be careful with the change but im sure it has something to do with the I D of the phone in your file explorer in the sys folder you will see the buil.prop once your their you will see all the way to the bottom stuff like ro.model.= as example. I also have inspire 4g and i had this issue but when Capychimp updated his rom it was fix

hi negrobembon.. i didnt change anything in the build file. but i did install 'font changer'. and this does change the dpi. but, i changed the dpi back to normal and i still get the same issue.

hi negrobembon.. i already did this and it still doesnt work. this is very crazy.. one a side note, i saw the pics you provided of your phone. can you please tell me what font youre using on it? thanks.

I was getting same problem and it was getting annoying. I fixed it by logging into the android market on the web and tried to install an app that said not compatible. Hope that helps.

How did you install a non compatible app from web Market?
I also cannot install a number of apps from phones Market and web Market...
ROM: Hyperdroid_Androidmed_v2.8.7

Using old market fixes the dpi problem on phone.

orb i appreciate your work on xda.. but keep in mind that i put my question in the forum that i thought best. there are many forums here and many times ppl dont know where exactly to put their question or issue. honestly, i dont know the difference between q&a and general forum. to me theyre so similar that theyre the same. i thought i posted my question in the forum that i thought best. you cant ban or punish someone for posting a question in the forum that they thought was a good fit . its not theyre fault.

New Android Market (3.0.26)

That’s right, guys. Just download from your phone’s browser and install like a normal app. It’s currently working great on my Evo 3D although I’m not sure if this will work on phone’s equipped with Android 2.1 and lower (per Google) but I don’t think that will stop you from trying, right? Let us know if it works for you! Enjoy!
Oh — and if the new Market ISN’T your cup of tea or starts to act a little wonky, you can always go back to the old Market following these simple steps:
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!

yea that worked, but it wont show the picture on facebook, just the info they put on there.... what i need is something that will link the actual facebook contact with the one stored on my phone.... permanently! cuz everytime something happens with my contacts (new rom, hard reset, etc etc) i have to link them!
I get the same problem when I freeze the Fbook app when it never stops running. you'd think contact storage would be left untouched
It's a good idea..I will try to make an app for this..This would be pretty useful for all of us..

My app got suspended

Hi!
One of my apps got suspended from android market. The app was a wallpaper app and the wallpapers contained girls, not naked though. Exept for one pic where u actually can see the girls tits..
My question is why it got suspended? I mean, there is A LOT of similar apps out here... Is it maybe cuz I'd put the "Content Rating" to "Everyone", should I maybe have chosen "High Maturity"?
Here's some scrrenshots of the app: http://www.chdevinc.com/p/app-nr4.html

The nips are showing. I don't think google cares about boobs so long as the "vital" bits are covered. This is probably why it got banned.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

In that case, I think you need to remove the last picture, in order to please the Mighty God Google
Okey I removed the pictures where the girls were naked or showed too much and I also putted in "High Maturity" but now it got suspended again! (?) Like, wft? Is it cuz i've put a price on it or what?!

That's possible. I had an app removed from usa market because in the description it said it was an eight ball type app and mattel own copyright on that phrase. I removed the two words but its still blocked. Google don't give developers chance to defend themselves they just yank the app but they do tell you if you broke copyright as in my case I got a copy of letter to them sent by mattell. So perhaps you have an email un noticed?

Free @ Getjar (www.getjar.com). An updated version has been posted which fixes the "expire" due to leap year but you can also just click back or any button but "ok" and it will still go into the app. The app will NOT show up in the list (no idea why, it runs fine) if you are running an ICS rom so you'll have to download it on froyo, gingerbread etc and backup the apk to transfer if you are on ICS.
*mods* I thought I should add this is not warez. GetJar has several "Gold Apps" which are paid apps available free through their app store.

first of all, it's easier for you to use market enabler to unlock restricted content. thus, you can download anything from the play store.
but here, I did that for you, fresk apk.

Thanks to both of you! Cheers guys.
Thank you indeed. I believe we need to be rooted for Market Enabler to work properly?
Secondly, how can we get the fresh apk of an app from the market like you did? It will be helpful.

yes. ME wont work without root.
fresh apk downloaded from the play store using ME method. to dowload it form your pc, you need the Apk Downloader for chrome, but latest chrome broke it already. you need to be on chrome 21 to use this if you need it so much.

For some reason I understand his situation. even thou if he searched before, it's pretty complicated. Is he rooted? Is he able to use the apk downloader for chrome?
For some reason, there are some causes why someone invented the forum. At last this thread will be shown on the search engine for future reference.
So why wasting your time posting if you can help?
