I've been searching and searching. I want to use 160 DPI but Can't get play store to work properly. I've tried modded play stores but they all have that message "this is incompatible with youre Device"
If someone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have a solution. Changing DPI always causes problems with play store and other things. Apps will disappear from play store. I've never had luck on any device with changing it.

I haven't had any problems with my s2 set to 200 DPI.
What app are you looking at? 160 DPI should work fine. I've been using it for months now. Try force stopping play store and clearing the data before trying again.
Reset your DPI back to 213(stock) then clear your cache data and updates from play store, turn nexus off, turn it on and it will be back to normal, check you can install Facebook or sommets like that, if not u minght need to clear cache n data again, once you can install apps again, use your preferred method to change to 160dpi again and reboot, I say 160 because that doesn't cause problems most other dpi's do at some point,

Bump please help
I'm assuming you did the standard clear market data and wipe cache. That's all I got. Maybe a build prop issue?

yep i'm so pissed off right now. Anyways, i'm going back to the stock version of miui, maybe its because i've been using it for a long time?
edit: doing that fixed it. thanks for the help.
I was trying to help someone with this same exact problem. No solution was found. He even made sure the device fingerprint was okay. What finally worked was installing a different ROM
any Ideas how to fix this market problem?
Hmmmm. it seems that my problems with Android Market was due to the DPI change which I made - the display density.
I changed my HTC Desire back from 200 dpi to the default value if 200 dpi, after that I cleared Android Market data and cache and restarted the phone.
After that on Android Market the problem with the "This item is not compatible with your device" error on some applications was fixed.
P.S. For changeing the display density you can use one of this apps from the Market: LCD Density or LCD Density Changer
Thanks this fixed my i9000.
But WTH causes this. I don't see how changing the dpi could break market, unless app's are searching for a specific dpi range?

market organizes the apps and checks if their compatible with your device, if your device has some random ass density, then the market notices that and tries to find all apps that fit that screen size, and the apps then do not show up because the apps are made for certain, and regulated displays, which doesn't include a dpi like 642 or something
Everytime i try to install Google earth on my Nexus S through the Market i get "Device not supported". I search on google and in this forum and can not find a answer. Please help me!
i also get the same message on bunch of apps in the market and haven't been able to find a fix

I fixed for me installing through webbrowser: hxxps://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
But why i can not use market-application to install. Thats bad...
I'm having the exact same problem - no idea why.
Try this,
Go to manage applications, click on market and clear data, Now install the apps again.
Might work.
I tried to extract the Google Earth apk from the stock ROM and installed it. It installed, however it keeps force closing when i launch it. So i guess it's incompatible with CyanogenMod 7.1
Installs and works just fine on cm 7.1.0.1, but I also have matrix 8.5 kernel on top of cm

When I was on CM7.1, I didn't have any difficulties to install from local Market or Web Market.
Furthermore Google Earth has a lot of downloads, then it would say if there was a kind of bug we would be informed one or two days later and not one week.
Did you already try to clear/ wype Cache?

THX for this solution!
I found the solution to my issue regarding this as well. Apparently, if you change the device density, it will say device not compatible. I like running mine at 200 instead of default 240. So when I changed it back to 240, I was able to install/update all the apps.
Heeeeelllpp!!!
I convinced my girl to root her phone so i could "make it pretty" for her and well, part of my theming included changing the density down to 200. I used blade buddy to do it at first and it worked fine, except for the "device is not compatible" play store message. So i changed the density back to 240 again with blade buddy and it still gives me the incompatible message, even after wiping data from play store and rebooting with the default density! So i tried market enabler and that worked ONE time, now no matter what i do its not updating most of her apps and market enabler does nothing to help. Any suggestions, other than the obvious nandroid?
I've been struggling with this issue today, and just found the "solution" so I wanted to post it here in case anyone else has this problem.
Cause:
No Apps in the Market were updating, including stock Google Apps (including Google Maps!)
Every App - Including Ones that were installed on my phone would get a "your device is not compatible" error message.
Solution:
Change the Density size back to stock 240. Clear the data of the Android Market, and then everything should be running again.
Final Comments:
This was driving me nuts because I've had my density size at 260 since day one with my Atrix, and now this has become an issue "when it was never an issue before". Anywhoo... I updated all my apps, and then changed my Density back to 260 because I hate small icons/fonts.
Like I said this is a new issue that's never happened to me before, and possibly other Atrix owners may have the same issue, so hopefully this writeup may help somebody else out...
I think I remember encountering this issue before and got frustrated and just started everything over. Ill keep this in mind for future reference though, thanks!

NP... Believe me I've tried EVERY solution that I could think of over the past 2 weeks on and off. When I finally figured it out and got things working, I dropped everything that I had going on and wrote that up.
Knowing that it helped at least one person made it all worth while...

A similar issue happened to me. A month ago i bought SimCity Deluxe, then i change my Rom and the Android Market said to me that this game was not compatible with my phone. The problem is that now it is not compatible with every Rom I flash, stock also.
density should be @240 not 260

having this issue with Block Breaker 3. just wondering if anyone knows how to alter build.prop for Atrix 4G to work around this annoying issue.
EDIT: solved.
edit build.prop (I used Rom Toolbox Pro), change the following (and ONLY the following):
ro.product.model=Nexus S
ro.product.brand=Samsung
however. once I got my game(s) working, I realized WHY my device isn't compatible: the display size (resolution) is too big. d'oh!

While 240 is a standard density, the Atrix screen is actually 275ppi. The moar you know.
thank you for the solution, i run into this exact issue time to time when i switch to a different ROM. I had this recently on the new Neutrino ROM with Instagram, but if i logged into google play through the web on pc, i could install Instagram with no issues. Only on the phone in the google play store it would tell me my device isn't compatible but it would still install if i did it through the google play website.
This is actually an issue that HP Touchpad users have been trying to figure out. Basically, the Android Market only likes specific DPIs to make things easier on app developers. So if its not 120, 160, 240 or 320 things break. IMO its stupid since good coding practices should allow an app to cleanly scale, but Google apparently feels otherwise.
It is possible to patch the market to work on other densities, but I've had no luck finding a patched version of the most current market.
I had hoped this was my problem, but alas didn't work. This worked for Navigon update, but for google maps it says my device isn't compatible, which of course it is. It actually doesn't even see that I've got Maps installed anymore.

I had that issue happen to me when I updated to 3.5.15. What I ended having to do was first uninstall all market updates. Then I replace vending.apk in the system/app directory with an older version and set the permissions to rwer--r-- (normally it would be rw-r--r--, but it wouldn't work for me). After that reboot the phone. Then go back to the vending.apk you placed in the system/app directory and change the permissions back to the way they were before you changed them. Next you should be able to launch the market and it should update to the play store after a few minutes. All my google apps were recognized again.
Fix
1. Go into Settings, Apps, All
2. Find Google Play - Clear Data
3. Find Google Services Framework - Clear Data
Should be OK now
If not, Install Market Enabler, redo above - then fake USA market once and should be OK.
Every 20 minutes I see this annoying message. Am I the only one? I'm running Jr6 ROM.

Try deleting the data in settings, manage apps, play store, then delete data.

This method did help significantly lower the amount of force closes I was seeing. Since I was mostly seeing this error when returning to the home screen, I removed all play store widgets and haven't experienced any force closes since. I haven't tried re-adding those widgets since I didn't even use them.
Thanks Rycon33!
Youtube app in Play store is saying Its not compatible with my Nexus 7 Anyone facing similar thing?
Yup I had the same thing, and it was really annoying, but I managed to get it working for me.
My problem was that I had changed the dpi to a setting that would tell the play store that my device is incompatible (even with apps that had already installed on my 7, which i lol'd at)
But heres two things to try if your dpi has been changed:
Change your dpi back to the original, which is 213, then reboot. It should work.
That didn't always work for me, so i searched a little, and found out that a dpi of 160 should work. So i used 160, rebooted and voila, worked like a charm.
So if your dpi has changed, try that. Thats what worked for me. Im running a stock rom, rooted and blah blah.
Hope this helps
[wohoo! first time helping or trying to help in the forums!]

Yea I figured that out soon after I posted this
I had changed my dpi to 177 thats why play store wasn't identifying my device, will change to 160.
