change the dpi in Euphoria Control and if it still doesnt save then you are not rooted properly and must root via many guides here is one

Changing build.prop to download app

Hi,
I'm trying to download a game, but I installed ICS (latest kang) and obviously it's thinking I'm running 4.0.1 and the game won't run on this. Is there a way to edit build.prop or any other file so I can buy the game before the rebate ends.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: All I'm trying to know is if it's possible to change a file to make the Market app think I'm running something like 2.3.4 so I can buy the app??

Yup exactly and I know it's not my phone since my GF has the same, but hers is running stock android.
did you change LCD density
Only time I have issues with incompatible apps is when I mess with density and set to 210
Default is 240

Do a backup in CWM and install a GB rom, buy the app and restore your ICS rom in CWM. The long but sure way to get there..

This
but make sure u backup the app with titanium before you restore ics. Because still you won't be able to download from market.

Oh well, I thought about that, but I hope there would have been a faster way.
Still thanks everyone
Have you tried to browse to market.android.com on your PC and buy it there? Yesterday I couldn't buy an app on my phone, for me it worked that way.
you're lucky....at least your phone has a reason to think it's not compatible....I'm running stock 2.3.4 and I get that error message for at least 75% of the apps in the market....including gmail, etc. It's obnoxious!!!
Seriously, this isn't even a dump from online or anything...this is my original ROM backup restored via CWM that is doing it.
It thinks you're running 4.0.1? If you are running ICS euroskank kang you ARE running 4.0.1....

But really, don't use ICS as daily driver, it's way too buggy and slow. Very soon we will have the ICS OTA and then things will be different.. I hope..

[Q] Change density without a app?

hmm was bored so i moved my density to 160... lol made everything small and now the launcher keeps failing... so how can i change the density in adb or something without using my phone?
you'd have to pull your build.prop via adb and edit it I guess notepad++? Then find where is says dpi or resolution whereever you find the 160 at and change it back to 240 save it and push it back in the /system

[Q} What 'Launcher' is this?

I'm on stock ROM with tablet mode enabled (changed DPI in build.prop) and this is my home screen. I really like the app launcher being the discrete little icon in the top corner but I have no idea how to change settings to get that there on another ROM. I've loaded several different ROMs but always end up restoring my backup just for that launcher!
Can anybody tell me what that is and how to configure it on other ROMs?
That's the stock launcher in tablet mode.

I knew the answer would be simple. Thank you! So if I want that on another ROM I can just extract Launcher2.apk from this one and install elsewhere? Or do I need other files too?

Just put the other rom into tablet mode via dpi and it'll do it automatically. Or use paranoid android and select everything to be tablet without changing DPI.

I had tried that on Paranoid but was still left with the phone launcher. I'm going to play around a bit tonight though. I've got 3 or 4 ROMs downloaded and I'll see which one I can make work. Thanks again.

Yeah, tried root toolbox pro and build.prop editor, they dont seem to gain access to the file to change it. Have you had any luck with it?
Give it a try..

OK, in case anyone else runs into this, remember to change the permissions back to 644 after you have made your changes!

How do I revert LCD density back to stock?

Hey everyone!
I'm on sacs rom and I used the pimp my rom lcd density changer and it won't let me set it to the stock lcd density of 460. I tried a couple of apps from the play store with no luck.
Can somebody please help me?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Its 480. Isn't it?
Anyways one way that I know of changing it back is to delete the app "pimp my ROM" and see if that reverts your screen back. Another is to use ROM toolbox pro that allows you to change the density through build prop editor.

Here is a guide see if it helps should work on any android it's just going into your build.prop and changing the density number.
