I've changed the "ro.sf.lcd_density=120" value in build.prop file with a lower value(110), which have as resault a smaller font size. All apps and seems to work fine after this change, except market. Market crash when trying to tap on an app. I can open it, see the list of apps or search for an app, but crashes everytime I'm trying to access on an app for download. I tried several different versions that I found here, but this happens in every version.
How can I solve this issue?
I would like to keep this setting, but loosing market is a big lost.
Any ideas or help?
Im sorry that im posting here, but i didnt want to make new thread, since my question concers smilar thing So, if i understood correctly, changing resolution makes apps and games work as fine as on other models with higher rez ? If so, how i can do that ? btw, i have rooted my tattoo and got a cm mod. Thanks in advance

I'm currently trying Plenems donut build and Myns build, but in both I cannot find this app:
World Forecast Clock Widget
http://www.cyrket.com/p/android/org.satok.gweather/
Plenems build is supposed to be the full market (and I can see paid apps), but this app is free. Every time I search, it comes back with no results.
Is it because it requires a higher resolution or something?
Thanks.
If things haven't changed since I read about it then the resolution when you first boot and setup your google account will determine what apps you get to see in the Market. So your assumption that the resolution plays a roll in the problem you've described is most probably true.
Usually the rule of thumb is to boot the first time with the highest resolution to have high res apps shown in the Market. Then install the apps that you need and finally restart Android with your preferred resolution.
You might want to look around in the forums for detailed instructions on tricks to keep the high res apps from disappearing after being back to the lower resolutions. Usually after a week or so they disappear.
Have fun Droiding!
P.S. you've switched the m and n in Plemen's username.
So do the high-res apps work with the lower resolution after I switch back? Better yet, is there any way to get the .apk so I don't have to do this trick?

Sorry, the mistake was unintentional.

I just downloaded and install the Market Enabler, changed to US t-mobile but I still couldn't find it. Oh well.

sorry if my FAQ was not organized enough or clear enough for you to find the answer, it's a work in progress. market enabler only allows you to see paid apps. plemen's ealier build emulated this by using the same t-mobile settings to identify the device. this has nothing to do with the resolution problem and not seeing some free apps. you need to back up your data file and boot a new one with 320x480 as your resolution. see here.
On my Hero, I always used LCD Density Changer, I loved the look, but it doesnt quite work as expected on my Aria. It works fine on CM, but on the Liberated Froyo ROM, no matter what I change the density to, even 159 from 160, my messaging app force closes when I select a message thread. Upping the density doesnt have this problem. Its not a must have thing, rather just a nice little mod in my opinion. Has anyone else had this problem or know of something I could do to try and fix it?

whoa I dunno what this is or what it's supposed to do but it definitely fuxed ish up on my aria...dunno how you would go about fixing that.
The application allows you to change the density of the phones screen, much like changing the resolution on a computer. Im just looking for a fix for the force close on messages. A work around is a third party sms app, but I am not a real big fan of the ones on the market. I like the stock app because it looks uniform and goes with the rest of the phone.

Well this has nothing to do with the messages. How is it supposed to fix it?

You dont seem to understand, this application, when active, is what is causing the messages app to force close. That is what im looking for a fix for. When the app isnt active everything is fine, when I use it to change the density I get the force close. I need a fix for the force close *Caused by the app*
Aren't the aria and the hero the same resolution? If they are, the messaging app should work.

The problem isn't the messing app. Its the pixel density app that is causing the message app to FC due to some incompatability issues. When the density app isn't working he said the messaging app works fine, the stock messaging app on top of that.
Try searching the general android development forums under apps and games for various sms apps, theres a few over there.

I will try that. I have not been a hug fan of any on the market. It looks like I wont have the phone much longer though, I am trading up to a Desire. I would still love to figure out this problem though..Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Callmearia
Hi Guys,
Just hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I flashed to 3.01 US stock from UK in order to get the updates. I updated twice to 3.2.
What I'm noticing now is that if I click on a link, that launches an associated app (browser for instance), I used to get a screen jump up and ask which app I wanted to use. So if I'd installed Firefox, Dolphin and got Stock, it would give me the option if I hadn't yet set a default.
Since 3.2 when I click the link, the screen fades out, but the options aren't showing to select which means I can't launch the link/app.
The fix is to uninstall any relevant applications until I only have one app that can launch said link, then reinstall, and I get the option again.
Anyone had this or know how to fix without reinstalling everything?
Hope that made sense....very tired so it might not have done
I had the problem I hope u didn't set Firefox or dolphin as ur default browser what I did was erase all data now I have dolphin and the default drowser all working fine here

This issue has been discussed, but there are two simple ways to solve it without having to reinstall everything.
1) Simply wait and eventually it will fix itself. I know this sounds strange but it will eventually work. I am not generally patient so this one did not work for me.
2) With Autorotate ON, simply rotate the Xoom so that it has to redraw the "picker" screen. Do this when the screen dims and nothing is showing up. I have found that once you do this once for any particular file type you do not need to do it a second time.
I too was reinstalling apps to get the screen to show up, but even that did not always work.
I had the same problem and it seemed to only manifest itself after I re-installed all my apps from Tiamat/Xoom Zone with Titanium Backup. I'm not sure which app was the culprit but after uninstalling Scripter and aLogcat it started working perfect.
Hope this helps!
Same Issues !!
With opera Mobile and MoboPlayer !

Will certainly check these options out. Are you saying that in the first instance, when the screen dims.,...if I left it long enough, it would appear?
Has this been put to Google on their Bugs page,....as Bugs go...it's an annoying one
The Asus Transformer has the exact same problem. makes me think it could be more of a HC3.2 bug now after seeing this thread than device related.
Worse after you think you have fixed the problem every time you turn the device off and then on again on the problem begins again if you have multiple apps that can load a file or link like a web browser (I use multiple). If you have one app or set one app to be the default then you don't have the problem ....with that file or link
Easy to reset by rotating the screen ..but each time you turn on?
Question........
has anyone fixed this with a factory reset?
Factory reset will not fix this . Other browsers , media players and file managers somehow cause the problems .
Hello together,
after ive used cm7 for a while now... im getting somehow frustrated with
the small fonts in for example the market app (app descriptions, user comments and so on), same for standard-sms starting screen (sms-thread overview). So i experimented with the LCD-Density settings (standard is 120) and i found a LCD-Density of 130 results in a much better reading experience on that phone.
If LCD-Density is set to high things get unsharp...but around 130 is just fine for me.So is you are unhappy with the small and badly-readable fonts just give it a try.
A tool for doing this is available here at the forums. "LCD Desity Changer".
Only issue is that you cant use the rotation lockscreen-styles because they are not display properly. ( "Tabs to move" works properly, i have not tryed all)
Cheers
Thanks for sharing this with us.

130 crashes my wildfire and it seems i will have to reflash, so use with caution
*edit* okay after clearing my cache I can reboot without a bootloop, but it restored itself to 120 automatically. I'm not using it again until I'm sure it's safe to use
hmm that surprise me,
ive tested it a lot with different settings and not a single crash......only thing was that on some density settings, ive got a coloured stripe on the menue-when it is highlighted. I use launcher pro.......
another way you can do this, is by using the spare parts app which comes preinstalled on cm7. you can change the font size, albeit in a generalized way, but I've had no problems from malfunctioning or crashing apps or any graphical glitches.
I hope this helps ^_^

I also use launcher pro. The moment i entered 130 my phone rebooted. It got to the PIN keyboard, with a tad weirder looking buttons, and then suddenly crashed again, and the boot it got stuck in a CM7 bootloop. But after wiping cash (no idea if this helped anything) it booted again normally.
Perhaps I'll try again later after a nandroid backup
An issue I have found with LCD Density Changer, is that if you set it below 120, I get FC in .acore when trying to make calls.
i installed it but when i have 130 DPI the status bar and the wallpaper becomes blur, although everything else is much nicer...
Normally I'd have this issue fixed per the typical ways to fix but as of yesterday I cannot change any permissions nor can I access my camera or video files. Before you go into the rant of going into settings and disabling any apps that use screen overlay I have done that to every single app and system app as well as disabled the accessibility options....I still get the message. Any clues that might be helpful? I have Build MRA58k version BLU_R0011UU_v21_GENERIC 05-05-2017 short of doing a twerp recovery to an old image I don't know what to do.

I am trying to change my permissions so that I can use my phone for recording videos but it refuses to let me view any of my files in my gallery. It doesn't matter if I go through the app or if try to view it through a file viewer such as file manager, nothing will let me access them. In fact I can not change permissions for any app, can't change what can and cannot access my storage, can not change what accesses my phone, nothing can be changed. It's not just those apps, every app I try to change permissions for has the same message. As I stated before I have disabled ALL draw over other apps, System as well as normal but the message still pops up even after a reboot........It all started 3 days ago, I didn't install anything new and as far as my security programs show, I have not been infected with a virus or malwear....
Just an update... 9 days and still not fixed... I have had to install different programs for some of my functionality back however I still cannot change any permissions... Some apps will allow me to tap outside of the notification and still use them however some things I still cannot do such as view recently recorded vids or recently taken pictures. Still hoping someone can find a fix for this issue.
