Hi,
The thread for AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.1 is now 17K+ replies & I was lost in there trying to find a solution for the Market problem "This app is incompatible with your phone" even for some apps already installed like facebook!
What I did after getting help from lots of replies in the thread is:
1- Install ES file Explorer.
2- in ES FE: settings->Root Explorer (checked)
3- in ES FE: settings->Mount File System (checked)
4- Brows to /sdcard/Android/
5- Click to edit "startup.txt" & chose an editor (I've ES Note Editor)
6- Edit the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=240
7- Exit editor saving the file.
8- Brows to /system/
9- Click to edit "build.prop" & chose an editor (I've ES Note Editor)
10- Scroll all the way down till you find & edit the ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to ro.sf.lcd_density=240
11- Exit editor saving the file.
12- in ES FE: settings->Mount File System (UN-CHECK)
13- Exit ES FE.
14- Open Android App Manager
15- Select Market App
16- Select "Details/Clear cache/Force stop"
17- Click "Force stop" & "OK"
18- Click "Clear data" & "OK"
19- Exit App Manager
20- Re-boot
My problem was fixed & I installed all the apps without any problems.
Thanks to Warren and Cope
All I did was to force close Market and clear data, no reboot required.
THX I Love It
I am faced with the same issue so was very excited to find your post; however I cannot even go past step 1 since ES file explorer turns out to be one of those apps that the market says are not compatible with my device.
Do you have a workarround for that?
Thanks a lot!
Dude, seriously?
You're opening a new thread in the wrong section for this?
Your way costs lots of time and changes the resolution.
Just change in startup.txt the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=160.
This won't change your resolution, compared with your way.
Start Android, open the Rom Manager app.
Touch "Fix Permissions".
When it's done reboot and you're ready to go.
Resoution Changed

Hi man,
i tried your solution, before i even go to market to test.. it changed my screen resolution and everything became bigger and my Launcher icons become very big so i revert back.
Is this also happening with you or only me?
Thanks

I'm glad that your way is shorter - I wish you posted before - I just wanted to share what fixed my problem after going through 1000's of posts in the thread!
I think adding more posts to the original ROM thread is really complicating things ... anyway, the moderators can just move this post to any where appropriate.

Yes, this is what it is all about - but you may try TT5555 method - it didn't work on my device but it seems that every device has its own personality

You took my overreacting post very good, sport.
Well, thanks for trying to help people I think this question has been asked over and over again in the ROM thread, so actually you've got a point there.
Thank you so much for posting this. I've tried both methods and they both work. For me, TT555's method is my favorite. What I love about the AmeriCanAndroid build was the resolution.
Actully the original post has the solution long time ago!!
Do you why that happens "check the original post"!!
Mr. AmeriCanAndroid also recommended to set it 1x0, 240 just back to the way it was!!
@kontradictions:
I use this to control the resolution after applying the fix:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wemobs.android.lcdresolution
@hkmate:
I said that I got the solution from the original thread but try to look for it in +17000 posts & tell me how to find it
that fixed that problem, does anyone know how to fix why it doesnt let me send pics thru picture messaging

This was the best and most correct hint here! I tryed at first the first one up there and my resolution was not good. After that I read that one and it´s perfect for me!!! Thank you very much

Hi,
I have applied your fix for LCD Density and Market device compatibility. It is awesome and I thank you. I have struggled with this for last few months!
Now I have changed my HD2 to 800x480 to 160dpi resolution and run Fix Permissions. Then rebooted the phone, cleaned Market cache and settings, run it again, and every application that I could not update before now is compatible with device
I have a problem though. There are artifacts on some gadgets, there is artifact on left side of the status buttons (once I expand status bar). There are artifacts on my on-screen keyboard (button images are different, strange empty gaps, transparencies).
Are there any fixes for these problems?

I did not edit the build.pro and it still works. In my case, ro.sf.lcd_density= in build.pro will be changed automatically according to the lcd_density in startup.txt

EDIT:
It now does work and i have no idea why or what changed ...
Not sure what's going on with my HD2 but I'm no longer able to update basic apps like Google Maps, I get the "not compatible with your device" message. Actually Google Maps wasn't even listed anymore so I set the density to 160 with LCD Density, cleared the cache of Google Play and it's back but I still have that error message. Is Google Maps "gone" for good from our HD2s ?
Requirements
A Rooted device running ICS AOSP Rom
Hands
Procedure
Open Root Explorer & navigate to /system

Thanks for looking
First one to thank you! Trying this as im typing right now..
it's pretty useless without voice recognition
Getting a network error...any ideas?
My data is enabled.
This is working on most AOSP/AOKP.
Not working on stock or stock like roms.
Voice will not connect with servers and you will only get errors.
Its a work in progress.
It will install but you can only search by typing.

Is it possible to get a CMW flashable zip of this?
Just tested it out and it does load but the network issues and no voice search kill it a bit , but its got a future...
To revert back can I just make apk1 to apk?
Or do I need to uninstall something?
I couldn't find it in that thread.
On the last page someone asked the same thing but hasn't had an answer so I was wondering if anyone has done it here.

can you guys with the network error try this one (and log if possible)
push it to /system/app and replace the old one velvet apk if there's any.
what u can do is move the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk to a folder you know in case you need to place back again, and download and move this one Velvet-theos0o to /system/app and set permission just close and try the search button on your cell phone after a reboot
Thanks
are you properly logged in etc. on other google services?

Delete the googleserachbox.apk in data/app then rename the one in system/app. After that reboot to recovery, clear cache and dalvik then fix permissions and reboot.
yeah just remove the 1 after apk and remove any other velvet or search apk u had place in that folder /system/app
Hello, I just rooted my phone and I have CyanogenMod ROM on it and Apex Launcher right now. I want to change some things on my lockscreen but I don't know how to do that.
Here is my look screen right now: http://i.imgur.com/5CrbU.png
I want to take away the LV TELE 2| Tele2 thing on the bottom and then change the clock and date text, because it looks ugly in my opinion. Is there a way I could change that?
And also the circle above the Tele 2 text, can I change that? If so, how?
And also when i type an SMS, it vibrates when I type one letter, how can I remove that? I have tried to untick vibrate in settings but it doesnt work :S
Thanks in advance!

You wont get anybody helping you unless you post your topics in correct sections.
This is a development area, not n00b help desk.
[edit: topic moved now]
Yeah, this is really the wrong section.
Read the rules again and everything's fine.
So, for deleting carrier name, just google, there's a tutorial.
Is changing the font enough?
Then just replace the fonts at /system/fonts. (You can find the correct one by the name.)
And the circle. Decompile your framework-res.apk and look for the graphics at the hdpi folder.
If you don't know, how to do this, google. It's easy, if you know how to do.

That's the only thing I found on Google, but that's only changing the carrier name.
Where can I download fonts?
I can't find the folder /system on my sdcard.
What should I google about the circle? Like "How to delete circle on apex launcher lockscreen"?
Thanks!

If this apps works for you, you can use it to set the carrier name to ' '?
You can find some nice fonts here. http://www.dafont.com, http://www.1001freefonts.com/
Or if you want to use fonts, which are already on your computer, they're located at: C:\Windows\Fonts
So, to change them.
The folder /system isn't on you sd. It's on your phone.
You can view this folder, if you download any root explorer app from the market.
Then you can find the /fonts folder and replace some fonts.
For example there's the font 'DroidSans.ttf', rename the font to 'DroidSans.bak' and then copy some downloaded font into this folder. Then change the name from (for example) Arial.ttf to DroidSans.ttf.
Reboot your device, and it's ready.
There's a app, which is easier, but with this method, you know, what you're doing, and you learn something.
But, just in case, the name of the app is 'Font Changer', you can find it in the Play Store.
The circle on the lockscreen..
To change it, you have to copy you framework-res.apk, which is located at /system/framework to your sd and then to your computer. (Or you upload it to dropbox or someting else, just bring it to your computer. xD)
Then rename it to 'framework-res.zip', after this you can open it by winrar or 7zip.
Go to the hdpi folder in res and search the image of the circle.
Then delete it, and put your own image (it should have the same dimensions) into the archive. But important! Don't select 'normal compression' or anything else, just 'save'!
If you have this done, change the file extension again to '.apk' and put it to your sd.
Then, copy it with any file manager, and paste it into /system/framework.
This can brick you device, so create a cwm backup before!
It worked succesfully for me with 'ES File Manager/Explorer', but only with the method, where the dialog 'Replace?' appears. So don't first delete the framework-res.apk
Okay, and for vibration.
Go to settings, keyboard, keyboard settings, and uncheck vibration. That's it.
Now my hands hurt.^^

I have no clue what font I should use but I'll see which one I will download because there are so many
I don't think I will change the circle on the lockscreen because It seemed hard and I'm to "noob" to do that and I don't wanna brick it. But I'll save that information If I wanna do it later.
If I go to settings, I can't see anything saying keyboard or keyboard settings.( But It doesn't vibrate anymore when I write messages on facebook) kinda weird :S
Got 3 other questions xD maybe off-topic but hope you can answer them
1. I recently rooted my phone and put on CyanogenMod 9 and now I have Apex Launcher Pro on it. But I can't find my contacts or where I add contacts so I can save my friends phone number. Do I have to download an app for this?
2. When I'm on my lockscreen and wanna unlock it, I drag it and it unlocks. But It vibrates when I drag it, is there a way to delete this vibrating?
3. I've used Swiftkey 3 keyboard but I don't like it so I want a new one. I loved the keyboard I had before I rooted on ICS verision 4.0.3. Is there a way to get that keyboard now in root? If not, do you have suggestions for me which keyboard I should download? I don't want one that they correct the words I write, only a simpel and easy keyboard.
Thanks in advance!

Try Ubuntu font, google for it.
No? Or 'input settings'?
There's no contacts app? Maybe it's just hidden in apex launcher. Go to apex settings, drawer settings. And check the hidden apps. Or look in the apps section in the normal settings, if contacts/people app exist?
Hmm, in miui, there's an option for the vibrating. But as far as I know, in cm not. But you can google for it, maybe there's a mod or control panel, which includes this.
Yes, I hate auto correction too. It's very bad if you write in different languages..
In the settings of swiftkey, you should be able to disable the auto correction. You can access the settings directly via the keyboard. There's a key for this.
But I prefer the stock ics keyboard. (Play store: ics keyboard) It's very simple and you can disable auto correction and vibration too.
I hope, I helped.

The folder /system isn't on you sd. It's on your phone.
You can view this folder, if you download any root explorer app from the market.
Then you can find the /fonts folder and replace some fonts.
For example there's the font 'DroidSans.ttf', rename the font to 'DroidSans.bak' and then copy some downloaded font into this folder. Then change the name from (for example) Arial.ttf to DroidSans.ttf.
Reboot your device, and it's ready.
When I want to rename the DroidSans.ttf to DroidSans.bak , I try to open it with different things but all of them open random **** in a language I don't know. How Can I rename it? Do I need to download an text editor from the play store?
Thanks in advance!

For renaming, you don't have to open the file.
Just press long at the file, and there should be a popup, with options like 'rename', 'copy', 'cut', 'open', 'properties' etc.
If there's no option to rename it, use another file manager, like 'es file manager' or 'root explorer'.

Of course, mate.
If you're using es, go to settings, scroll down and enable 'root-explorer' and 'mount file system'.
Then there should be a popup of superuser, just accept it.
After replacing the fonts, remember to set the correct permissions, too.

Worked I think, did everything you wrote before in this thread. But the font didn't change on the lockscreen. Is there another file I should rename or change too in order for it to change font on the clock on the lockscreen?
Ooo alena gilbert...lol
Ok you can edit framework-res.apk for that... and for font in lockscreen i think change font with something like clock in name with one of your choice.. dont remember exact name....

Hello, I just rooted my phone and I have CyanogenMod ROM on it and Apex Launcher right now. I want to change some things on my lockscreen but I don't know how to do that.
Here is my look screen right now: http://i.imgur.com/5CrbU.png
I want to take away the LV TELE 2| Tele2 thing on the bottom and then change the clock and date text, because it looks ugly in my opinion. Is there a way I could change that?
And also the circle above the Tele 2 text, can I change that? If so, how?
And also when i type an SMS, it vibrates when I type one letter, how can I remove that? I have tried to untick vibrate in settings but it doesnt work :S
Thanks in advance!

I changed font, but It changed font on Facebook. I wanted to change on the lockscreen. What font file should I change to change the font on the lockscreen?

DroidSans.ttf was just an example.
So, I'm not sure, but try Clockopia.ttf.
But a while ago, I used a cm-build, where the lockscreen font was named something like. 'androidclock.ttf'
So just look, maybe you can guess it via the name, which font it is. If not, you can copy them to your pc and click on it, then windows let you view the font. Then you just have to look for these special numbers of the lockscreen clock. And the last way is to use font changer.

Hi Everyone,
I'm a long time lurker on these forums but have finally decided to make a post,
I have found these forums very helpful over the past couple of years with my android devices.
Anyway back to the thread,
When I had my old Galaxy S2 someone modded the default internet browser to have a permanent user-agent option which allowed you to select desktop user-agent so it stopped loading up mobile versions of websites.
I'm now asking kindly if someone can mod the default browser on the Note 2 to have a user agent option which permanently solves the problem of loading mobile pages
I have tried the about:debug trick but it's not a permanent fix, next time you load up your internet it resets back to android
I will also point out I have tried other browsers such as Dolphin, Firefox etc... but I honestly really like the default browser more than the others, it just needs a user agent option in the settings menu.
Thanks in advance
For the record I'm running a rooted N7100 in UK- BTU
Won't be bad but I have seen that if I select 'Desktop view' and even exit the browser when I go back in I see the same website loading as Desktop mode. So I think it remembers the option.

Yes but when you open a new page it then goes back to android,
I know this might seem a small issue and may not bother some users but it's just something that bothers me,
I know someone modded the browser on the galaxy s2 so I'm sure it can be done on the Note 2
Yeah, I'd love to set my user agent as an iPad, so that I'd get tablet sites.

There is a mod in this xposed framework thread that forces the stock browser to desktop view
add this string
<CscFeature_Web_SetUserAgent></CscFeature_Web_SetUserAgent>
in system/csc folder into "others" or "feature" folder with rootexplorer and reboot your phone!

Hi, can you go into more detail where I apply this string?
I didn't find a features folder or others folder under system/csc but I did find others.xml file, do I add the string to this? If so where do I paste that string in the xml file? Also do I reboot into recovery and clear cache etc...

Yes only this:

Open others.xml with test editor. Or put it on your pc desktop, open with notes, add string and save, replace it into the phone.

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for your help so far
I did add that string in the others.xml file using the text editor in root explorer, i saved and rebooted but it hasn't worked
I must be doing something wrong, do I need to replace any strings or simply add to the strings that already exist in the file, if so then do i simply paste the string onto the bottom of .xml file
Thanks again

Hi, try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mhdol8nt3wg87jx/others.zip
The other file did not seem to be correct. I also added the string to add the button to exit the browser. Put others.xml in system/csc, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot. Let me know if works.

Your a legend! It worked
Thanks so such, I now see an option to exit browser which is handy, and it seems that websites are automatically going to thier true desktop state
I looked at the other.xls file you edited, I assume your desktop string simply makes sure that the "desktop view' option is always ticked.
Thanks again!
God knows why samsung can't add these options themselves

PLEASE READ
This mod ONLY applies to UNLIMITED USERS who DO NOT have tethering on their plan
This mod DOES NOT apply to SHARE EVERYTHING plans
I took a peak over at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/g3-hotspot-hack-t2812305 and saw that there were issues with using the G2 apk. I decided to take a looksy at it and see if I can replicate the functionality of the G2 apk with out having to re-apply settings to turn on tethering.
I have always had issues using root explores and database explorers messing up permissions and causing boot loops so until I have a proper recovery I use the android terminal emulator. Many people here have had plenty of success using file explores so give it a shot if you like!
Skip down to the bottom for a video walkthrough created by { owenbeals aka DroidModderX}
First things first you will need root!
0.) Start a root shell
Code:
su
1.) mount the system partition for read and write access
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
2.) Rename stock files HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex to something memorable. I use .bak and .bakdex
Code:
cd /system/app
mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak
mv HotspotProvision.odex HotspotProvision.bakdex
3.) Now copy over the new file, can be the root of the extSD card which is /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk
Code:
cp /storage/external_SD/HotspotProvisionVzG3.apk .
4.) The last thing is to change permissions to 644 (RW- R-- R-- for you file browsy types )
Code:
chmod 644 HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.apk
5.) Now reboot and enjoy your glitch free hotspot action!
You must reboot! Do not try to "install" it, it does not function like that.
N.B.
Some users have noted that their cpu governors change to Performance while the hotspot is on and change back to On Demand when off instead of normal Interactive. This is the stock behaviour of the kernel, and not a bug introduced by this mod.
Thanks to { owenbeals aka DroidModderX} for this handy video walkthrough.
Thanks { Robshr, JayGoat } for bringing this up
Also thanks to { nrage23 } for answering a ton of questions on here

You have change something every time you use it.
The modded apk works perfectly. I used root explorer to do it though. I renamed the original files, copied your apk to system/app, renamed it to HotSpotProvision.apk, fixed the permissions and rebooted.

Pretty cool. I'll have to give this a try when I'm bored later on today at work. Could you explain what you actually did to the hotspot apk though?
One thing though - why not just append ".bak" to the end of the existing filename/extension? That way, you don't lose the original extension so you can't forget what it was. It works fine. That's what I always do. In other words, your files would end in ".apk.bak" and ".odex.bak". The system only sees the extension after the final period.

How do you launch tethering after moving, renaming, and re-permissioning the apk? I've tried to launch from Settings app but nothing happens.
The downloaded apk he modded is named differently from the original one in the system/app folder. After I changed the names for the original files in system/app. I changed the name of the modded apk to match the original apk in system/app. I copied the renamed modded apk to system/app, set the permissions correctly, then rebooted. I went into Settings then More... under wireless networks,Mobile HotSpot and changed the SSID and password. I can turn it on via settings or the quick setting in the notification bar.

I'd guess for it to work from stock menus (i.e. without starting the apk directly from a file browser app or terminal emulator) you'd have to rename it the same as the stock apk so that the path is the same for the various apps that would call it.

So I have renamed it exactly as the original apk was and rebooted but still no go. On reboot I get a force close of VZWAWSService. I have some of the system bloat frozen, maybe this has something to do with it.

Did you reboot?
There should be no reason to rename the apk. When android installs applications it goes into the /data... Dir as the package name. All intents are handled via package names therefore the apk name is inconsequential.
To use you should be able to go settings > more and see all the tethering options.
To verify placement and permissions use
Code:
su
ll /system/app/Hotspot*
You should see your two backup files and the new HotspotProvisionVzG3Mod.all
Permissions should be rw-r--r--
Let me know if you still have issues.
I will post a DIY response so that people who want to learn about the modification can play along at home. Think of it as source code for this mod:good:

Thanks for the detailed response, I got it working now. I had previously frozen some of the bloat on the phone when I got it and one of the apps I froze was the lgemobilehotspotui.apk which is needed to work correctly. Thanks for all the help from the awesome devs here.
Nice work, thanks. I just installed it with Root Explorer, and it worked perfectly. Just have to do it to the wife's phone, now.
Well done. Working great!
Thanks! Works perfect. And now I can use the toggle on the drop down menu to activate the hotspot. Thanks so much.
Worked
Worked perfectly for me. Used ES file explorer to move the files around.
I have downloaded, changed permissions, changed the file names to .bak but when I try to install the nodded split says application not installed. I'm using root explorer. I did have the othe mod installed and deleted it first. Wondering if that is the problem
Edit...Stopped trying to install and just rebooted and it turns on just fine, and my laptop connects...the app shows it connected and listed as an approved device...yet I'm not able to actually get a a connection.

Thanks! Works like a champ.
works great!
I'm also getting the VZWARSService has stopped message, and when I go into settings and turn on the hotspot, nothing happens. If I go into mobile hotspot and turn it on from there, I get this message: Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped. Followed the directions exactly, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Works perfectly. I used Root Explorer to rename and move everything. Thanks!
Worked like a charm the only thing is still changes the cpu governor to performance the g2 one did it to I don't know if someone is able to fix that
It's just when I turn on the hotspot afterwards I use android tuner and change it back to interactive
Does anyone else have this issue
