Does 132 dpi still screw up the market? - TouchPad Themes and Apps

Just checking if this was somehow fixed or is still an issue. I am running 132 dpi coming from 120 with cm9 alpha....dont notice much of a difference but I hear is is the native resolution.

Ffor the market to work correctly you have to be at 160. The alternative is purchasing LCD Density Modder Pro and within the app it lets you download a hacked market apk and a hacked Google Services Framework apk to be able to see market items again

Well it actually "works" just fine but according to the market you will loose compatibility with a lot of apps but I'm not about to try to make a list of them

And if you did I wouldn't read it so we both lucked out.

Just disable the market updater in a usable dpi. Then change to the dpi you want.

it's hit and miss for me. sometimes many apps doesn't show up as compatible to the device (including some installed apps if the compatibility issue occurs somewhere after your ROM installation).
I've try tinkering around with market (uninstall update, clear data+cache, force stop) and most of the time one of these would do the trick and everything words fine with whatever DPI (132 or 120).

[Q] Many Apps Saying "Incompatible With Your Device"

I'm running the CM7 nightly roms on my NC, and I've recently noticed a number of apps no longer listed as compatible from the market. Angry Birds for example, does not have the install button on the previous market, and on the new 3.1.X market actually has a message at the top of the window that says incompatible.
The web version of the market has my nook grayed out in the install window.
My build.prop is the stock CM7 one, no hacking.
What gives?
I had the same problem and believe the is some other posts for this.
My fix was:
1. diable wifi
2. uninstall the market update
3. backup and uninstall market updater with titanium backup
Sent from my NookColor
My fix is:
set resolution to 160dpi (using LCD Density app or hacking build.prop) and clear Market data
???
profit!!!
Many apps which I have downloaded from market before are saying that they are not available in my country. Whats the point excluding countries? Do the dev wanna make money or not?

I did this..I couldn't run Yahoo fantasy football app
1.disabled market update..use old store
2. Froze market update in titanium backup
3. cleared cache and data from store app and from Google services frameworks.
I can now download yahoo and other programs that would not even give me a download button...
I just installed cm7 7.0.0 stable along with the gapps and it came with the new market what would be the best way to allow me to download the tablet version of apps along with google maps/earth right now they say incompatible

Some countries do not have paid app support. Sometimes the dev just likes to keep stuff in the US to not have any problems with money conversions, import/export laws, etc.

Hi, I edited my build.prop manually and changed the fingerprint/description to match a Nexus S using:
ro.build.description=soju-user 2.3.4 GRJ22 121341 release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=google/soju/crespo:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/relelease-keys
rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik, in cwm and booted and everything shows up and works - facebook, netflix, etc...
I just #commented out what was there and added the lines below, saved, rebooted and viola!
Im on CM7 nightly 08312011 on my Nook Color, hope that helps!
PS. I havent messed with the market updater/etc.. Im using the 3.13(cant remember off hand) version of the market posted also, everything showed up before n after.

I've seen this solution a lot except the others didn't say clear market data. I just wanna emphasize that point. It makes the difference.

I also set dpi to 160. I didn't see any fixed app info until I took my Nook to a wifi network I've never used before and ran Google Market; it showed (for the first time after autoupdating to the newer GM a few weeks ago) the accept/deny conditions window. After clicking accept, GM started showing not only the usual apps, games, books sections but also movies. Half my apps which weren't showing updates before showed available updates. Google Market itself updated to the latest edition, still showing Movies.
I'm not sure if using the NC at a brand-new location did something to market data, but if the dpi fix isn't working I would recommend trying (the market data clear).

To get it to work you need to clear market data. That is the main part of the dpi fix not something new.

Well, point was I haven't actively cleared market data, but apps that were blocked before came back and movies are now active --- so does GM do a market data clear when joining a new network or was it something else?

The market auto-updates data. This is also why it breaks again after awhile.

Market seems to be fixed, most likely on Google's server end. A number of us have not needed to clear market data for several days now. I'm going on 4 days with fully functioning market at 160 and no data clearing. Joenathane is experiencing the same. It is possible that this is what angomy experienced albeit in an indirect fashion.
I did not notice till I flashed the newest gapps (0823), so can't say for sure why it is working. Would suggest those clearing market data before opening the app to stop doing so for a while and see if the apps list stays solid.
incompatibility in market
after trying everything, i also found that (atleast for me) if i cleared data for the market, that fixed it.
thanks,

[Q] Market apps?

I am on eclipse v0.5. Why are some apps on the market like facebook not compatible with my phone?
Most apps are compatible.
What kind of error or message do you get?
When I go to download facebook from the market there is no download button. Only a message saying my device isn't compatible with it where the button use to be.

Same prob on my n1 for some apps (scottrade, firefox). One temp solution us to undo market updates and cached data and quickly install apps before the market updates itself
Some say its due to the density setting in build.prop... For me even the default density on cm7 didn't help.

If u r rooted you can freeze market updater after clearing DATA and uninstall updates so it wont update on ya. Have had my.phone.like that for a while now market working fine this way
Thanks for everyones input! Turns out that lcd density was messing with it. Once I went back to stock resolution I could download facebook and firefox.

[Q] Apps not compatible for note

Hi, I have been trying to download some apps for my galaxy note but in the market place the app does not even show up. I know these apps are compatiable because i have seen them on other notes, and online. Such as omni sketch. When I search the play store it does not show up anywhere, and when i googled omnisketch android store and clicked the link it brought me to the play store page but i could not download it. The same goes for samsung apps application, and zen brush.
My atnt note is rooted and has the saurom rom on it , but i did not overclock or anything. Also i read up on the q and a for the saurom rom and did not find my answer. But i did not apply the atnt fix because I am not using atnt i am using t-mobile hspa+
Any help guys? Also my language says english us but when i click it it changes to english canada so i restored it from a nandroid backup i did when i first flashed the rom and it now says english us and i have not clicked it again so far but i think it is actually english canda? Anyway i can fix this too
Thanks!
I'm having this same problem on my AT&T note flashed with Saurom 7.1...
A bunch of apps that are even ADVERTISED as optimized for galaxy note say
"This app is incompatible with your AT&T Samsung SAMSUNG-SGH-I717." on google play...but if I find the apk for it on my own and install it it works...
why is this happening? can't install:
Jotter
OmniSketch
Zen Brush
Colors! for Galaxy Note
OnLive (even lists galaxy note in description though)
Air Penguin
...the list goes on and on. Why is google play telling me my device is not compatible with these apps even though it is?
Yeah exact problem i was having. Except i didnt manually try installing the apks since some of them were paid apps. Idk why it doesnt make any sense, and i havent found a solution either.

I JUST fixed it! Woooo! I'm not sure exactly what did it but these are the steps I took:
Went to application settings and cleared the data for google play store.
Rebooted phone. (which also reset my DPI from 240 to default)
Started play store...it said it was upgrading from android market bla bla.
Still didn't work.
Uninstalled touchscreen tune.
Messed around with Chainfire pro (made sure no plug in was in use)
all of a sudden my apps are back...it alerted me of the Dolphin HD update (which was incompatible before) and i'm downloading Jotter and Air Penguin as I type this!
I had the same problem. I solved it by using the PAID version of LCD Density Modder. The free version was not enough.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpipro&hl=en
As soon as I updated to the paid version, I got notified of about 30 apps that needed to be updated. Previously those apps were not compatible and were installed through Titanium Backup.
So the dpi/lcd density is the problem?? Thats weird cus i havent changed my dpi or anything its still at stock.
Hmm I'm not sure what to do. I have the same issue, but I haven't messed with the dpi or anything, and I don't have either of the two apps you listed there. I'm on the stock ICS rom, is there anothet way to fix my issue?

LCD density modder (free version) is what I was using to change DPI too. I guess restarting and having the DPI reset is what fixed it or in other words, changing DPI is what caused the problem. It's weird though cause it didn't work till like 10 minutes after the phone was rebooted even though it was at default DPI immediately after the reboot.
For you guys who are still having problems and haven't messed with DPI....do you have chainfire? Try uninstalling or setting everything to default. Or try clearing the Google Play Store application data
I have super user chain fire and i havent messed with anything there either. Ive tried clearing the play store app data and nothing..
Still no luck. This is really annoying me. Why is it not working. Do you guys think going back to stock would help?

Angry Birds Space and Yahoo Fantasy Baseball

Well I have already paid the .99 on the Amazon Appstore because the Play Store would not let me download it "Your device is not compatible with this version". What does the build.prop need to be to get this to work? I have tried the standard MN build.prop, change it to HTC Vision, Galaxy Tab, stock LCD density and changed it to 187 and the Play Store would not work for any of it. I used Nook Color Tools to force close and clear cache after each build.prop change.
Anyone have the Yahoo Fantasy Baseball app working? It doesnt show in the Play Store at all on the device and on the website it says it is not compatible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit..also tried the IMEI generator as well

I have Google play, and just recently downloaded and played Angry Birds Space, so I thought I would look at what I have, and try the yahoo Fantasy Football also. I was able to see and download both apps you mentioned within Google Play on my Nook (with Kang 7.2 (2/17/12)) with no issues. Looking at my build.prop holds not help I am afraid. It has encore/NC entries and density is at 160. Wish I could be of more help, but not sure what else to tell you except to make sure that you clear data under market.
just wondering why is your lcd density at 187 instead of 160?
187 is a good resolution that doesnt cut anything off.
rnclock could you post your build.prop?
Play store has issues with any dpi other than the standard 160 and 240 dpis

You may have to conduct some build.prop edits or IMEI (DizzyDen). Make sure you have cleared data in Market also, this sometimes fixes any issues like this. Search the forum for recommended buildprop changes that will help you find/access more apps in the market. Hope this helps.

♚ Google Play issues ♚

I'm running AOKP JB build 5, Dagr8's Kernel, and Truth77's Gapps, on my Galaxy Note, and have been having ongoing issues with the Google Play app store.
I have about 12 visible apps in the "Top Paid" category, and I know there are more then just 12 of them...

My market is multi dpi but if you use tablet mode the dpi gets too small for my markets im trying to make it work for tablet mode but no succses yet. I'll update the gapps as soon as i get it to work for tablet too! If you use pa or c&c leave market doing stock or 360px like said above and you'll be ok
Well the Play store is now fixed, I had to change dpi to 320, other dpi's just cause the Play Store to malfunction again.. meh at least its working for now.

I fixed mine by changing dpi to 240, as it is a stock dpi, and removed data in both Google play, and its services, a quick reboot, and vöila! Back to normal!
Though, like you, I prefer a dpi of 280, I'd rather have my Play store functioning over my preferred dpi.
