Are there any tweeks that can we put or change in our rooted Atrix with 2.3.4 stock rom???
Hmm you can change the lcd density. I like to have it between 200 and 220. Stock is 240. Make things look sharper in my opinion.
If someone has tried other tweeks let us know in this post...

I believe you should not mess with the density settings. Otherwise you can face compatibility errors with apps in play store.

Yes, but most of the time, if you clear Play Store's data, it goes away. I never use stock DPI. Its a waste of the screen to watch everything so big, plus it looks way sharper, as if the phone had a higher res.
I think 220 was my sweet spot on the Atrix. On my GS2, i have to go lower because of the lower res and bigger screen.

True, unless you have a patched Vending.apk.
I keep my DPI at 213, everything looks much better, I feel like I have more screen real-estate, and ever since patching my Vending.apk I never had any compatibility issues on Google Play. (I do however have location-based restrictions, but that's another story and also fixable using other methods.)
I also deleted /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk so the system doesn't overwrite my patch by suddendly deciding to update Vending.apk.

I just followed instructions I found here on the forum. It was long time ago so I don't remember what was the thread/post, feel free to search yourself. Or if you like you can try my patched Vending.apk, version 3.7.15 (attached).

Hi,
Previously I've installed Paradise Island from the Android Market. But recently, I can't find the app in the market any more. So I tried to find it using PC. It says "This app is incompatible with your Celcom Samsung GT-S5830." Anyone know what's the problem?
I think you have flashed a different firmware....

I've changed to high maturity but still can't find it.
Custom dpi (lcd density) seems to cause the "incompatible" problem with the new market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196417
Going back to 240 dpi and clearing market data makes everything work as it should.
You can then go back to your custom dpi, but most users are reporting the problem comes back after a while.
if you want paradise island you can search ( paradise island pandaapp ) in google

Did it. Other apps that need update came up instead. The app Paradise Island is still not found in the market. =(
I was having this problem, I was trying to install an app and it was showing that my device was incompatible, so, I did a little search and found this https://market.android.com/details?id=net.andirc.erismarketfix&feature=search_result
The Eris Market Fix will fix this error, you need to be rooted to do the procedure, it worked fine for me, I was finally able to install the app.
I keep getting "This app is incompatible with your Evo" from the Android Market website and the market app (3.1.5) just doesn't give me a download button or show me updates for newer versions of some apps. It was mostly just an annoyance for a while but now the latest Facebook update came out and it won't install. I'm running CM7.1RC1 which is Android 2.3.4, although I never recall having this problem until I updated to the latest Android Market.
I'm also wondering if there's any good way to troubleshoot why the market thinks my device is incompatible with a particular app (like some sort of reason ... android version too high, screen resolution, etc).
Solution: It turns out this is because I had modified my DPI to set it to 210 instead of 240. Once I set it back to 240 the market showed me 17 new updates. It looks like they're checking to make sure the DPI checks out ... bummer.
I installed CM7.1 nightly 202 and I was able to change my DPI and still use the market without problem. It seems there is a fix as of nightly 198 or so.
Some apps are incompatible because of variation in geographical regions... I think the one you are trying is not available for your region/country....
Thanks, but I'm in the US and that's not it. It works fine on the stock ROM, same phone. I'm looking for how to troubleshoot. Is there any way to see what the app restrictions are?

I don't think we would be able to see the app restrictions..only a developer can see it in the console..
if you're using any kind of density changer, it can cause "not compatible" issues.

Hm, I had edited my density in build.prop. I just changed it back to the default and that fixed it! Hallelujah! Thanks for the help.
Now, does anyone know of any way to have my cake and eat it too (that is keep my higher density and still get app updates by tricking the market somehow)?

Not gonna happen unless you can find a way for the market to detect a denisty setting other then what is in your build prop.
Like the title says. Changed from 320 to 280. Now I can't get access to all apps.

I can't say for sure on the note, but I had a similar problem with my NookColor after changing dpi. You may want to try one of the "standard" dpi's like 240. Apply and reboot. May have to clean the market (Google play store) cash too.

There are a few roms that have the multidpi fix especially if useful if you are running tablet mode.

I am having the same problem as well. Currently still looking for a fix to this problem as I am not able to have access to all my applications. I'm pretty sure, as of now, the only ROM that has the DPI-FIX implemented into it, is the hybrid_rc_IV. but i'm not running that rom...any help would be appreciated also!
yes this works for the note, install then goto fix marketplace and it will download the market and the framework and install, then reboot, u can even change the density also, this works for me. u need to move to ur sdcard and install using a file explorer and make sure under settings->Security and unknown sources is checked so u can install the apk.
download: LCD Density Modder Pro.apk
Yes
There is a way you can change it. Theres a couple of apps, but some of them do not work. And will cause you to re-flash your rom if your phone is rooted!

Hi, I was just wondering if there was some developer app or trick to optimize the app icons on Jelly Bean to HD, instead of having them all blurry ? I used to have an iPod 4th Gen and there was an app in Cydia that would optimize the app icon to retina display, it was called iretiner >_> IS there a way to do this on Android ? No, I'm not an Apple Sheep, don't worry, I just had this thought flying through my head and I had to ask it since I kept searching and couldn't find anything about it, so here I am o.o Thanks for your replies !

Icons in Android are automatically scaled after what display you're on by the OS. It will automatically seek out the one that's closest to your resolution out of 5 categories, LDPI (Low) MDPI (Medium) HDPI (High) XHDPI (Extra high). Unless the maker of the app has provided a high res version, (XHDPI would be "HD") there is no way. You cant magcally make a picture better, despite what CSI wants you to think.

Oh, well thank you for informing me, I have now learned something new. It's disappointing that icons can't be enhanced or optimized like in iOS, but thank you anyway

Actually. iRetiner REPLACES the app icon with a larger one, given its available (jailbreak required).
Android is smart enough to take the best suited icon and use it, given the developer made an icon of that size (without rooting).

Is it possible to get the icon from the app once downloaded, enlarge it with photo editing software, and replace it ? It's just irritating that the app gameplay is completely HD, but the icon is not.

That actually depends on the launcher, some launchers allow you to change the app icon that is shown, I believe.
Not sure which ones though

So I'm assuming that the stock Jelly Bean launcher won't allow you to change them, even if you use some kind of root explorer to replace the icon with a bigger one in the app'a folder ?

I'm sure you could do it with root explorer, but you might run into issues where you'd need a computer or change something within a zip or apk, or some other sys stuff.
Kinda like changing LCD density, I make mine lower and have to use a phone.apk from another phone, if I dont my phone force closes

If you had the .apk file of the app, you could extract it, replace the icon, and rezip it back into a .apk. Then install it.
But Play doesn't give you the file, and it would be annoying to find the newest version of every app as it came out and extract, replace, rezip.

System stuff such as what ? It seems simple enough to mess with the app apk's, what system stuff would need changing ?
If you want to change the apps icon, take the apk file (which can be found in system/apps but this might be different on your phone just use a file browser with a search function to find it). decompile it using the apktools, change the icon to what you want then recompile and install

I'm guessing the developer just hasn't added it to the list of compatible devices. Might try emailing the developer.
If you mess with your DPI settings you will get that error also. If you are stock then the developer of the game has not updated it yet.

Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
The dpi settings is what lets you change how the screen looks for example tablet mode. You would of had to change your build prop to make that change.

DPI = dots per Inch
It's a measure of display resolution. A higher number is typically associated with higher image quality but dpi isn't the only factor involved with image quality. There are also other factors involved such as display size, display technology, the original resolution the image content was created with, the original aspect ratio the image content was created with and how those original factors are translated if required to the final viewing display situation.

Try downloading your apps from play store before changing your dpi. Once you get your apps on your device I dont think the dpi change will break them.
