Hey guys
I seem to have a problem
I used dpi changer utility to change my dpi to 200 and began to notice that many apps weren't turning up in the app store so I restored it back to 219 and still nothing.
Any idea what's going on?
All help and input greatly appreciated

wel revert back 2 std 240 dpi if ur on stock official rom else try some custom roms which will work at lower dpi than 240
ps- check with 184 dpi or 220 dpi and see before reverting 2 std 240dpi

Try LCD Density Modder https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.birdapi.android.dpi
Has ability to fix market compatibility issues.
Nandroid backup immediately before using!!

Restore the DPI back to 240, or you can use 160 for the tablet version of apps, and clear the data for Google Play. You should be able to see the apps again, then just go back to whatever DPI you wanted in the first place.
play store will work good only with eithe 160 or 240 dpi. if you want working market with anyother dpi a fixed market for multiple dpi value is available in net, search for that.
Okay this has been solved.
I used lcd density Modded pro to reset the dpi, reboot, clear the market and reboot once more. All done.
Thanks to everyone that helped

I think maybe you could go higher. I'm using LCD Density Changer by Beansoft and it states that my Evo has a default density value of 320.
Edit: Wait a minute, it's default should be 312 as listed by specs since:
(1280 x 1280) + (720x 720) = 2278400
sqrt(2274800)/4.7 = 312.47
Not sure why it says 320. Maybe I'll try another app just to be certain.
Haha, I tried 160 right after I rooted, just for S&G, and got nothing but bootloops, so yeah. I wouldn't recommend trying that.
Noob alert.... What does chain the density do?

Essentially it makes text and everything else smaller.... Or larger based on the value you set.

Your math is right, the pixel density is 312. The default value in the stock build.prop is 320, which is what those apps are reporting.
" ro.sf.lcd_density=320" is the line in the build.prop.
Not sure why you would want to change it to something lower than that.

Ah, that would explain it. No way I'd want to go lower than default, but was hoping to go a little higher but I'm getting some kind of IO error...I'll figure it out.
If anyone is curious, I started using Blade Buddy since LCD Density Changer only supports a max value of 280.
80-270
All widgets and most apps ran from adb work fine.. but that low dpi will break sense launcher and you have to manual edit your build.prop from root explorer/adb/droid explorer to 320/312/300/280 etc
(be sure to leave a widget! or shortcut on your home screen for root explorer if no PC!)
im gonna screw around a little more with some launchers and settings cause i loved 160dpi on the OG evo
oh im on meanrom 1.7 panda s-off newest radio etc..
Highly HIGHLY recommend using lcd Modder. It's like two bucks and is the easiest way to fix your density and fix the market at the same time! For all the noobs you gotta remember to fix your market to see about half the apps out there. I always check for a specific app (pof - plenty of fish) if my market is busted it won't show up.
Running 270 flawlessly on one of the older meanroms.

Guess I'm a noob, but what are u talking about playstore being busted. I see pof just fine with no mods. U mean the resolution being lower or the build.prop edits? Bc I'd love to be able to pay for good games like max payne, but "incompatible" according to playstore.
Yes, I have it, but I can't say how I did it on xda. Pretty easy to figure out. I don't like doing the build.prop edits, feel it is there for a reason. Guess that's another topic altogether. Sorry for hijacking. Tend to link ideas in my mind that others don't always follow. Apologies.
Paranoid android ROM has individual density properties for each app.
Meaning I can run my keyboard at a certain DPI and my system at another, and then my lock screen at another. These hybrid properties have completely changed the way I look at ROMs. It also has tablet mode and hybrid modes for each individual app, very cool stuff.
Paranoid android is aosp, so that's not an option for those of you who love sense. But I thought I'd throw it out there and maybe some of you will try it.

Just upgraded from SlimICS rom on my i9100 (great rom btw), to Omega 4.1 on my new i9300.... Slim had ASS which permitted DPI changing.... For my i9300 I tried DPI changer but all I got was a corrupted build.prop and lots of headaches in starting with odin from square 1.
Has anyone successfully changed DPI on Omega or other for the i9300?

S Memo crashes, don't know about others but this makes it a no go for me.
Changed to 240 using rom toolbox lite - Dialer does not scale, rest is good, i dont use much of the samsung bloatware.
Chrome does not work, neither does TouchWiz, Using Nova Launcher.
240 DPI works good, apart from the non scaling dialer all looks good. 240 DPI is also safe to avoid market incompatibilities problem
I prefer to run my phone with a density of about 220, but with any Samsung based ROM the dialer and contacts app just force close. AOSP based ROMs like CM9, and AOKP ROMs deal with it fine. Any insight into why this happens or a way to get the dialer and contacts working at a 220 density with a Samsung based ROM?
You would have to rewrite each app to handle the different dpi settings. Alot of issues come from messing with the dpi

Depends on what yer doing app wise. When running stock overclocked i was runnin at 160 with no problem at all.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
You may also try 213 or 240, I use 213 as it is tablet mode. I have seen other using 240.
Either way you may have apps that do not cooperate well.
I'll try some of these other specific DPI settings. I've always known I would have some app issues messing it, but dialer and contacts are pretty much necessities, so I'm stuck with AOSP ROMs unless I can sort this out.
240 should work alright..That is hdpi resolution...the standard before the galaxy nexus came out.
Now it's 320 "xhdpi"
So I decided to change my lcd density on my phone to 200 from the stock 240. I am on aokp siyah which I doubt matters but I was just wondering is there a way for me to get YouTube working with a changed LCD density? Forgive me if this has been posted but I couldn't find anything (I am a horrible searcher) flame me if there is a thread I will take it
Also its just when I try to load a video it says an eror occurred so I just deleted the app and apparently I can't download it with 200 density

Clear market data and attempt to re-download it; then, try it again.

Ill say it again. 213 has been my magic number. I've yet to have a single issue with that dpi. For whatever reason 213 just works and doesn't cause any market conflicts.

There are alot more than that. 200, 160, and some odd one that Hyperdroid ran stock on fit perfectly. sure alot more. read somewhere something about the sizes, and how some just wont match up.

And FYI, LCD Modder will NOT work with JB. least IME

I've had trouble with 200 in the past. I think 183 was another one that worked well for me but I never got used to how small things got and I think it made the dialer look funny. I don't even remember where I found that 213 works, but its never let me down (knocks on wood)

What rom? I'm on cm10 and the clock sits to the right by default. I pulled out my cm9 Captivate (stock 240dpi) to check and its aligned the same as my s2 with 213dpi; to the right.
If you're running a Sammy based firmware then I've no idea what the Samsung lockscreen should look like but maybe dpi changes just don't play nice with Sammy firmware?
