[Q]Costum DPI + Android market. - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi there,
I am a user of the Redux2 HD2 ROM. With my own set 192 DPI. However as you will probably know many apps do not show up (cus of the old market, new one you'll see its "incomapatable"). And i was wondering if there was any fix for this. problem that sloves it well.
Now you have to change the DPI back, reboot, install apps, change DPI, reboot. There must be another way to this.
Since the HD2 has such an huge screen it is (imo) waaaaaaay more comfortable then the stock (oversized icons) 240DPI.

I agree that the 240 dpi makes the icons (and the whole display) too big for HD2. The ROM I use, had 167 dpi as default, but this caused compatibility problems to the newest Market app, so I changed it to 160. Here's how:
Install File Expert (file explorer). (you can use your preffered explorer for this, but keep in mind that you need to have root access and be able to change file permissions!)
Browse to /sdcard/Android/
Click to edit "startup.txt" & chose an editor (I use TED text editor)
Edit the lcd_density=167 to lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file
Browse to Internal storage/system/
Long click on "build.prop" and change permissions to get full access to the file.
Long click on "build.prop" and Open as.. text (Using TED text editor)
Scroll all the way down till you find & edit the ro.sf.lcd_density=167 to ro.sf.lcd_density=160
Exit editor saving the file.
Exit File Expert
Open Application Manager and go to Market
Select "Details/Clear cache/Force stop"
Click "Force stop" & "OK"
Click "Clear data" & "OK"
Exit App Manager
Open the Rom Manager app.
Touch "Fix Permissions"
Re-boot
This setting of 160 dpi might seem too small to you (compared to the 192 that you use) but trust me, after a couple of days you will like it and you won't have issues with the Market!

I think the question was more of trying to find a way around the DPI problem, not just changing it.

What if change the product name from HD2 to other native Android device in build.prop?
Could this work?

No since it wont change the fact that it uses a DPI that is not standard.
And i tested the 160 DPI and for some reason my rom (Redux2 HD2) is not compatable with those DPI settings (white statusbar if app is open) And some other weird glitches

Try this market, it's the old one but it's modified so the DPI isnt checked.
I use it and never had the problem of apps not showing up (as far as i know)
Just flash it in CWM or take the vending.apk inside the zip and move it to the /system/app/ folder on your phone
Please tell me if it helped.

[Q] How to change LCD dentist ?

I used the app named LCD dentist changer,it work well,but when i restart the phone ,it will go back to the default dentist.
Ha! I think you need to look for a different app called 'LCD Density' then. Joking.
If that's not working then just edit the build.prop file from /system and change it to what you want.
Open the Build.prop file in /system (I use Droid explorer on my pc to do this.)
Edit the lcd_density=
value to your liking.
Note that some apps won't render properly, if this happens, disable 'Run in compatible mode' in Spare Parts app.
It's ok now,thanks,guys
worth noting that you can edit the build.prop file before you even install the rom.

Fix for Flash 10.3 on CM7

To get Flash 10.3 working on the stock browser you need to do two things:
1) force stop the browser process
2) Remove all permissions for /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data
*Fix also works for Dolphin. Just change com.android.browser to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser
Changing the permissions restricts the flash plugin or the stock browser or the webkit or I dunno what from reading config.data. This file is screwing with video playback of anything over 240p.
What's weird is that the config.data generated for 10.2 and 10.3 appears to be identical, except for the ProductVer string. Since the file contains settings for h264 high, baseline and main profiles, there's probably some change in 10.3 to the way it uses this information.
Either way, this is a bandaid for those that don't wish to use Opera until the heart of the issue is found/addressed.
how do you remove permissions? i saw the ability to do this was added in a while ago in the nighthlies, but I've never had to do it....

You'll need to use a file manager that supports it. I use File Expert while others prefer Root Explorer.
Btw, this is not the same as application permission control which is what you are thinking of.

I'm running CM7...
using terminal emulator i can just do a cd data/data/com.android.browser and it shows the listing. but if i go to the file manager it doesnt show it. Weird.
So i was able to edit the permissions. My superuser app wasnt properly giving superuser permission to the file explorer, which is weird because during that time it worked for terminal emulator just fine...
I removed all permissions for it, but flash still isnt working.
nvm. Fixed. Left the boxes on the far right checked, for 'Exe', and unchecked all other read and write permissions boxes. Working so far.
Nice find! Works perfectly...
Was just about to do this but looks like the newest nightly will incorporate this fix.
Edit: nevermind, something different.

Can anyone give me a set-by-step walk through on how to do this. I can find the data/data/com.android.browser in file expert, but dont see the /app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data.
How exactly do you remove the permissions and how do you change the com.android.browser to the mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser?
Sorry for the noob questions.
Having issue with fix
Hello. I've been trying to perform the fix but I'm running into an issue. I have CM 7.0.3 on a gTablet running Flash 10.3.185.23. I am using File Expert and it has been given access by super user.
The issue is that I can browse to /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/ but I do not see the config.data file in that folder. I have tried looking in the Dolphin Browser folder also but it's no there. I have even tried doing a search in the whole com.android.browser folder but it's still not finding it. Am I missing something or doing something wrong? Thank you.
So I finally figured it all out and thought I would share.
I installed the "updated" version of flash 10.3 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=618977&d=1307513130
Then I followed the same instructions as in this video to enable HULU, but dropbox is not necessary if you dont want it.
http://youtu.be/1JbZnSKCfY0
I was having trouble with the directory given in the original post because I had already set up Dolphin as my default browser, so the app_plugins...extension I was looking for was in there not in com.android.browser.
So in file expert, first make sure you have given super user permissions, then hit the back arrow at the bottom menu bar "2 times", press data, press data again, scroll down to the bottom to mobi.mgeek.TunnyBrowser, there should be 2 files with the same name, dont choose the one with only a lib folder, it should have many folders, scroll to top and find app_plugins and press, press com.adobe.flashplayer, press .macromedia, press Flash_Player, at the bottom you should see config.data, long press the file, "operations menu opens" press file operations, then press permissions, uncheck ALL boxes.
Then go back into Dolphin Browser and give it a shot. I have been able to watch all episodes I tried on HULU and all videos on youtube in the browser, when in you tube and selecting videos to watch, make sure you choose the Dolphin choice and not m.youtube or browser, and dont switch back and forth between android and desktop mode, if you do you will revert the custom agent file back to a recognized mobile platform even if you choose desktop mode again, it needs to stay at the custom. I dont use any other browsers so I dont know if it will work for others, but I imagine the same file extensions will be associated with any browser you have set as your default and you should be able to do all the same steps. I'm currently running cm7.0.3 stable, hope this helps anybody that needs it.
it works !
in terminal just two command you need:
Code:
su
chmod 000 /data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins/com.adobe.flashplayer/.macromedia/Flash_Player/config.data

You didn't explain how you set up the stock browser being that dolphin was your default.

So couldn't you replace "com.android.browser" with the alternate folder respectively for any others browser you use?

Something is wrong (obviously) is this the first SD build you've used? Check to see if theirs a newer version and try it because their could have been a bug.. Honestly I would recommend nand install but I understand not everyone wants that. I would have to at least try reinstalling it and possibly a different rom...
Hope that helped some!

Hopefully this works! If not, try changing density to 240 (instead of 160) as many advise this is better. However a 240 density, makes display larger, while 160 is very much similar to what you now have.

I run NAND builds and this is something that I have noticed. For example an app would work just fine with typhoon CM7, but when running Hyperdroid CM7 it would give me the compatibility error like you're getting. My guess is it has something to with how the ROM is cooked, but I could be wrong; I'm still kinda NEWB

I have tried this already.When I try to save the build.prop it has an error, and says unable to save.But when I reboot and go back to build.prop its changed to 240.. go figure.I also tried the market thing by clearing cache and force stop.Also tried ROM manager and fixing the permissions.Still nodda.I guess I can try a diff build.Any suggestions? Wanna do it the SD way.Im kinda new to the phone stuff.So easier is better for me atm.
First of all, the guideline works on SD ROM installation. I never tried NAND cause I need to have dual boot option
As for the "File not saved" warning, before editing the boot.prop remember to change permissions (you've missed a step)! After all changes are done, save and close. Then restore permissions...

Thats probally my issue, the other tut like this i used didnt have the change permission thing.How do I change permission on such file?
After changing density to 160, you also have to change the phone model infos (search for adjusting build.prop to htc vision, but I'm not sure of this can be done in SD builds.
Also, you have to (after changing density) reboot and then force srop market and clear market data and cache.
Altogether, this should do it.
Edit: to be able to rewrite build.prop, get ES task explorer (it's free) and you have settings there, at their bottom is make system writable. Check that.
When I long click build.prop.. theres no option to change permissions.

What file manager do u use?
I use 'File Expert' as file manager and by long press on the file, a pop-up menu appears. It has 'Permissions' at the mid-lower part of the menu. Open it and just enable all-you will fix permissioms at the end..
I don't know how other file managers handle this, but I'm sure they do it somehow!

Here's how my part of my build.prop looks, maybe it will help, you should change it exactly to these:
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.brand=tmobile
ro.product.name=vision
ro.product.device=vision
ro.product.board=vision
(then few lines lower)
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
(Few more lines lower)
ro.build.product=vision
Plus of course the density to 160.
Save, reboot, clear market data and cache.
I have just checked my market and for me words with friends free is available for download.
So if THIS doesn't work, I give up.

That would be cool except I havd an HD2 not vision.And the board is leo not vision.Im not a phone DEV person, but somehow that doesnt look correct to me.If I changed my build.prop for htc hd leo to htc vision, it might corrupt my build.Maybe Im wrong, but I got this build out of the HTC HD2 leo android forums.

[Q] AmeriCanAndroid is good, but how can I change lcd_density to 240?

I have tried change lcd_density in "startup.txt", but does not work
Boot it.. install any tool like romtool box or so. Change density. Or else edit build.prop from system folder( after mounting it as rw. After dat u have to change the permission of the file to rw,rw,rw) using any text editor. U can see the line corresponding to lcd density. Change the value( number only to 240 or desired level) . Save.reboot into recovery. Do a permission fix. And wipe cache and dalvic cache if u need. Reeboot phone. Done.

Deleting Downloaded Fonts?

I downloaded a font from dafont.com, put the file in the downloads folder.....I installed the font and want to delete it out of my downloads folder. However, I can't. It says the file is open in the System.
I tried changing the name of the file, and I tried restarting the system....both no success.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit - Actually found out there there are more files doing this, and not just the font file.
To remove an installed font:
Start (or Win) -> "font" -> Enter
It will take a little while to load.
Scroll to or search for the font you want to remove.
Right-click it, and select Delete.

I want to remove the file from my downloads screen....the actual installed font can stay. I've downloaded / installed / deleted the file numerous
times, but this one doesn't seem to go away
Try "Deleting" the font, then copy it to your Fonts directory (under Windows) and "installing" it from there, maybe? I guess I'd assume that the install process would copy it to there instead of just using the current location, but honestly, I've never tried.
