Hi all
Every time I change the DPI from stock 320 to 280 my playstore app tells me that " your device is incompatible" message
I have cleared the play store data/cache and the Google play service data cache and rebooted but I still get the same error after the reboot.
I've tried this on a stock ROM and on several custom roms such as "slim bean" and jellytime with the same issues after lowering the DPI to 240
Can somebody please help as I can function on this nexus with a DPI of 320

Are you trying to use 240 or 280. I think you need to use one of the standard DPI values for the play store to work (160, 213, 240, 320...)
Just go to stock DPI, reboot.
Then clear play store data.
Now change DPI and reboot.

Try changing density with 'LCD Density Modder' on Google Play ~ it has an PlayStore-Fix in it
It's free but you can use it only once without purchasing the Pro-Version.
After changing the DPI & installing the fix you can uninstall the App
When you change the DPI, is it going into full tablet mode? User switching enabled and all?

Didn't work for me... I own the Pro version as well.
Infact it pretty much deleted my recovery and my phone stopped booting Had to reflash the stock OS via fastboot.

It doesn't work on anything higher than GB as far as I know.

Use the modded Play Store from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580827
One of the mods is that the Play Store will always believe you're at 320dpi

Edit: nvm.. fixed it by clearing data of the market place. Thx anyways =P
I have recently changed roms to hyperdroid cm7 and I started getting this message when trying to download apps in the marketplace, not all apps give me this message. I have tried to change my LCD density from 193 to 240 but till same problem. Any fix for this??

1. By changing DPI need to reboot and reset settings/cache Market
2. The latest version of Hyperdroid is fixed
3. Not all applications are compatible with your country/operator
After changing lcd density to 140 so I can use tablet UI, all the cheap apps on Google play right now are "incompatible with your device"
Even after changing density back to 160 the apps are showing up incompatible. I am I have also attempted to use lcd density changer pro to fix market compatibility issues but after attempting that, all market items download but don't install with "the package file is invalid".
I'm all out of ideas. Any help?

I think you need to delete market cash after changing density from setting/apps and may be also need a reboot after doing so
If not so try delete cash and dalvik and fix permissions in cwm
If not so try flashing gapps again if you are using cm or aokp (not stock)

Also try to change density in the future using app like rom toolbox lite or pro
Also make a nandroid backup before changing density
Also if you are in custom rom try reflashing the rom after clear cash and dalvik and nooo factory reset not to lose data

Just download a modded google play apk (phonesky.apk)without auto-update. Then change dpi to default (160) , reboot, and clear gplay data. Push the apk , open gplay and see if the apps are compatible. If not clear data again.. Then change dpi to whatever value you want.Dont clear gplay data again to keep the compatibility. After that you shouldnt see "incompatible with your device " again.
Put tablet ui with aokp

Hey guys,
Recently I rooted my Nexus 4, put on CWM and SuperSU.
Problem now is that I can't install apps like Words with Friends or Dead Trigger. I'm on JB 4.2 Build No. JOP40C.
I was believing that it has something to do with me changing the dpi to 260, I use an app named Density Changer from the Play Store.
weird, I have supersu installed and can play Dead Trigger without any problems
I read somewhere that your issue might be caused by a program called Density Changer. Have you tried uninstalling it?

I'll try that now. I'll also clear cache too.
You kind of answered your own question there. DPI change.
It's the DPI change that causes it?

99% sure, yes. CWM and SuperSu or the mere presence of Density Changer shouldn't have an impact.
I just undid everything, cleared dailvik and cache and still fc's.
:/
Change DPI back to stock if you haven't already. Clear data on the game so it detects settings again.

you have to clear google play store settings (after reset dpi settings, should be 320), then reboot.

Okay I fixed it. I went to build.prop and just edited lcd.density
Everything works now
Next time you change DPI
Install the Multi DPI play store
Will work for sure
I'm running my Defy with 200 DPI set and there's a little problem with Play Store I'm facing. Some apps just won't appear in search results (like they were incompatible). I've flashed zip with multi dpi Play Store already but that didn't solve it. On some occasions these apps will show up (rarely, no idea what it depends on) and there will be no problem with installing and running it. Some examples of missing apps: Facebook, DefyLens. Anything can be done about it?
Which Rom? If you're on cm10, then you could shift to paranoid android which doesn't have any such issues and allows very specific dpi and layout customization

It's latest CM7 nightly from maniac103.

Hi,
To change your LCD density but avoid apps incompatibility, set your density back to 213 (240 for moto defy).
Now, create a file in /data/local.prop and type in it :
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160 (or anything you prefer)
You can change the density to whatever you want, save and reboot
Please press thanks if I helped you

Hi,
I have just changed density on my Nexus 4 with LCD Density Modder and now I can't boot :-/.
My N4 is rooted and I have CWM. I tried to go to CWM and wipe data/Factory reset and it didn't work.
How can I fix this?
Thanks for your help.
Re-flash the ROM.
How?
go back into clockworkmod and click "install from sd card" and select the ROM zip file.
Ok, but how can I transfer the rom to mobile? Debugging mode is disabled :/
Problem solved. I did it with NEXUS 4 TOOLKIT (option 9)
So, we can't change density on Nexus 4? Or have someone managed to do this successfully? How?
I have just edited build.prop manually and it works.
But Google Play Store doesn't show every app :-/. I have 280 density setting. I have tried to fix it with LCD Density Modder, but i can't install GSF. Does anyone know solution that really works?

play doesnt work with nonstandard dpi and so do many other apps. dont do this to your poor phone. paranoidandroid was originally written for this purpose, it started with hybrid engine. every single issue has been cleared out for you. things work, no compromises, nothing crashes, nothing to small because you choose size on per app basis, size is separate from the layout which you pick from a list of actual UI's an app offers, you treat the phone interface in the same way as any regular app, set it to this and that size and UI without trashing anything else, you control all this with a handy little panel thats giving you the changes you've made on sight. i lost half a year of my life to help getting android get over this build.prop nonsense - make use of it. it has found its way into a couple of roms, so flash something else if you hate pa, but use hybrid engine for goodness sake, there is no alternative that can compare to it. :highfive:
ran into the same problem as op, running liquidsmooth rc2 with franco. everytime i changed the lcd density to anything other than stock and rebooted i got stuck in a boot loop and had to go into twrp and wipe cache/dalvik just to boot. changed lcd to stock and no more boot loops. sucks because i really like running 280.
