Hi,
I am facing a new problem with my android market updated version 3.4.4 .If I search an item in the market,it shows the result with the message that "your device isn't compatible with this item ". But if I download the same item from the developer's site ,it works without any problem.This thing happens for free apps even original Google apps like google goggles.As a result I could not able to update it regularly. Can anybody explain me please,why this thing is happening???

Have you changed screen density, perhaps?
What about qqlauncher pro ,ez launcher ,tencent desktop and so many apps which are all running well in my set but not allowed to download it from market.

same as op. i have changed screen density and it's annoying not being able to download/update apps that work just fine
If you changed your LCD density recently, change your LCD density back to its original number and then clear the Market data...you should be able to install those apps then...and then you can change your LCD density back to what you had it set at.
you dont have to clear the market data but it does involve a reboot, install the app, then reboot again to set the desired density again.
very annoying and long winded
Its problbly the app on the app store dosent support your current device, and the app you got from the developers site was probably modified to work on you device..
Like some apps have been modded to work on qvga and hvga phones.
Change youe product details in system/build.prop if your phone is rooted and change to anu desired phone type as needed. Be carefull of it though,and make a backup of that file first. That always do the trick don't forget change back to it's original state once the app is installed.

So, are we sure that the DPI setting doesn't matter if you change the build.prop file correctly? Or do we need to do both?
Which items did you need to change, and, what do you think is the best current choice?
I followed directions I found in one thread and edited my build.prop file, didn't work [I'm using a rooted Nook Tablet]

Your Device Isn't Compatible With This Item
I gave my step-son my Galaxy S, and when he goes to the Market, it wont let him download, or update any applications. All it says is "your device isnt compatible with this item." The phone works, like it has service..its on a plan, and its connected to HIS gmail account, it just wont let him update any of the apps. is there anything i can do about it? maybe master reset it?

. This worked great for me! Your a ROM saver . Thanks and I did hit the thanks button!
I can't seem to change DPI on any of these new ICS roms..
I have to! I'm not blind!
So it's stuck at 240 dpi.. I've tried DPI changer apps, but on every reboot my phone hangs at boot logo (splash screen, logo.jpg)
Maybe changing DPI on these roms doesn't work?
I feel you mate!
Last I checked It worked on LP6, from LPH onwards it doesnt work!
I dont know the reason but yeah hasnt been working for me too.
Damn this is unbearable! Even blind people can see these huge icons. Someone must know of a fix..
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23438841&postcount=11877
edit the build.prop file in system folder and change the value from 240 to 160 or some other value you like.
Done that, same effect..
I done that, except deleting the backup build.prop.bak. I don't see why that'd help so I'll exclude it for now..
Got stuck at splash screen still!
I know on LPH and a few other ICS roms that the build prop has two locations you need to set the LCD Density. If you changed one already, look for the other one as there should be two locations within build prop.
Ok I've confirmed it by installing LPQ, rooting and changing LCD density. As mentioned, there are two 'ro.sf.lcd_density=240 locations in build prop. Change both of them to desired density level. I changed both of mine to 210 and after a reboot, the LCD changed without issue and a lot smaller.

just tried by changing both 'ro.sf.lcd_densities' to 160 with root tools and am stuck with bootloops...
I am a bit of a noob when it came to editting the build.prot but i changed both values and rebooted ,, everything is lots smaller now...
Now to learn how to size the desktop to fit the smaller writing/icons..
This method worked perfectly for me.
I went 192. After some tweaking apex got the desktop to look far less.. Err.. Big.
The email app and dialer are a bit skewed though.

tried every other way suggested here and came up with bootloops.
so i did this instead, using 7zip for the PC,
1. opened the cwm flashable custom rom's zip in the PC,
2. opened the build.prop with notepad where i had already set the *.prop to open with notepad
2. changed both locations from 240 to whatever i desired.
3. updated the build.prop back to the zip (it'll prompt when you close the build.prop)
4. Copied back to the SD card
5. and flashed
and voila, no worries, no bootloops
i hope this helps
I tried everything (changing on phone directly, flashing changed boot.prop, changing through the app), but in each case phone will not boot after change. I would really like to know what is the factor influencing this.
Did anyone succeed to change dpi on stock LPQ (rooted with CF and reverted to original kernel)?

I've but the omega rom on my SG2 and would like to know i editing the file to change my resolution will work? Since there seems to be mixed results. On Gingerbread used LCD density changer to get this done and would like to recreate the resolution on my ICS rom now.

Hi,
I tried to change DPI through LCD density modder app to dpi 226 in my sgs2.
After that the phone dont boot-up and got stuck at yellow triangle screen
I can go to CMW mode but dnt have any backup in that.i flashed Cf root again to check if that work,but nothing happen
NOTE: it got bricked because of change in DPI.not because of flashing wrong kernel so Flashing kernel wont help me
What to do,please help me
Can you mount USB in CWM to change the kernel ?
Because some kernels, like Siyah (I THINK ! I don't use Siyah...) purpose to clear some folder including DPI section...
So you can try to take one of this kernels, flash one, and find this option...
I'm not sure, just a supposition

You should be able to connect to your computer in CWM recovery mode, and edit the dpi setting in your build.prop file.
failing that, worst case scenario, just copy a new rom to ya sd and flash it in cwm, a custom one
seriously, you got bitten my friend, next time, do a nandroid backup and backup ya efs folder, double protection, coz seriously if ya gonna mess with stuff like the build.prop then ya need a backup plan.
If you really want to alter the dpi, then check the lcd density changers on google play, theres a few, but i know a couple of them let you test the dpi out first to see if it works on ya phone, if it doesnt it reverts back.

As above;
1. Download & instal Windows PC programs "Android Commander" and "NotePad++ "(not NotePad)
2. Boot into CWM Recovery
3. Connect to PC USB & allow/edit for any drivers to instal
4. Run Android Commander
5. Navigate to system/build.prop & copy to PC & edit ro.sf.lcd_density=240 with NotePad++. Check there are no entries added by the app (delete them if so) Save and exit
6. Replace build.prop with edited version
7. Exit program, connect USB and reboot
8. All else fails, wipe cache/Dalvik and reflash ROM.
Hope this helps
Edit: don't forget to remove/delete the LCD Modder app from data/app with Android Commander before rebooting, otherwise it may force your previous density changes and back to square one.
You can also extract the build.prop from your ROM download zip with 7Zip and use above method to replace it.

Thank you all for your help
when i flashed CF-ROOT,i didn't work,but when i flashed STOCK KERNEL,it worked
i saw the odin log,stock rom has factory image file which correct the DPI.i think so
Thanks for giving your precious time
I found this thread through google, so thought i might post my experiences for the next person that finds this the same way, maybe some of it will be relevant...
So i did the same thing with my galaxy Note: changed DPI with LCD density modder app, restarted and the phone wouldn't get past the white samsung screen.
I followed UpInTheAir's guide to step 7, but phone still wouldn't start. I hadn't made a backup of the EFS folder so i was getting pretty scared at this point as loading a new rom will wipe this folder and render the phone useless (as far as i understand)
I was reading elsewhere that the permissions need to be set to rw-r--r-- on the build.prop file, so i tried doing this with Android Commander with the phone in CWM recovery. Android Commander was spazzing out, error message when the program opens, constant "loading" bar going, but i just ignored all that. I went to /system/build.prop properties and tried to set the permissions to rw-r--r-- but after accepting that and going to properties again it hadn't updated the permissions.
I've never flashed a ROM before, or changed kernel, but i decided this might be a good time to learn.
I loaded franco.Kernel-r5 for galaxy Note (sorry if this is irrelevant in an S-II forum) but loading into CWM that is built into this kernel (i think it was a different version than i was using before) i was then able to update the permissions with Android Commander(tho it was still spazing out).
Restarted and BOOM she loaded. Understandably i was thanking God big time at that point
anyway, hopefully something in this mess of a post might come in useful to somebody , thanks for the good info UpInTheAir!
Hello, I had the same problem and had to re-flash the firmware.
I've seen on dpi changers comments on market that A LOT OF PEOPLE get the softbrick.
i want to change my dpi.
how am i supposed to do it ?
I can't believe my phone can't stand changing DPI.
Ive changed mine a few times by altering the build prop file but the icons were never centered properly. Eveything was smaller but moved towards top left of the screen. Since then i used Density Modder pro with no issues.

First of all you will get better answers if you asked in your device's relevant thread, TouchWiz Home usually doesn't take too well to dpi changes, you need to install a custom launcher app like apex or Nova, try installing one via adb, and then reboot and select your custom launcher as default when the system prompts you to select a launcher.

Try booting your device into safe mode, it should boot without loading the app that you installed to modify dpi. If you successfully boot into safe mode, you can uninstall the app then reboot.

Hi.
flashed the "Fouth bar" (4.0.4) rom on my device, and the latest A1 kernel as well. because some games didn't appear on the market, i backed up my device in case of trouble and tried to change the device dpi with an app. it said it "Couldn't find Configuration File". another app did let me change it (to 160) but the device got into a sort of a bootloop because of it, so i restored it into working form. i'd like to know if and how i could more apps compatible in the market, and change the dpi successfully.
Thx, e.

Peace be upon you all. I am new here and I hope I am posting to the correct forum. I recently installed Cyanogenmod 11 on my galaxy S3 (I am new to rooting and it was my first custom rom ). I noticed that resolution didn't seem as crisp as on the stock firmware. Later on I noticed the same thing with AOKP. I checked the resolution and it was 780X1280 with a pixel density of 320 ppi, whereas the native resolution of S3 is 720X1280 with a pixel density of 306 ppi. I tried to change pixel density using rom toolbox, but still couldn't notice any difference. Any ideas? Thank you

it probably didn't work. but to get sure: you have rebooted after the change? look into your build.prop (in system folder) for the value "ro.sf.lcd_density" if it is still 320. if yes then try to change it manually to the value you like. then save and close it and reopen the build.prop to look if the change sticks.
I often noticed that rom toolbox (pro) has a problem with the integrated superuser app, so that it don't get r/w permissions to system.
That is the reason why I switched to SuperSu by chainfire, with this Rom Toolbox and all other root apps never had problems

Thanks for your reply friend. It probably did work, icons looked a bit small but, still the text seemed a bit blurry and wasn't as crisp as on the stock rom. I restored the backup of stock rom and checked pixel density and resolution. it showed a resolution of 720x1280 and ppi of 320. Whereas general specs of the phone say it is 306. Or I don't know that 306 is something else .... To sum it up, both the stock rom and CM show a pixel density of 320. But, stock has a resolution of 720 whereas CM had 780 pixels..... don't know what to do.
Things are working fine on Temasek's unofficial CM 10.2 rom. Maybe it was a problem with that rom I installed
