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.
Found the solution:

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

Recently I updated my HD2 from HyperDroid GBX to CM7, since I restore my Apps from Titanium backup / AppMonster, I didn't take notice if some of the Apps I'm using can be found by CM7 Market or not.
Not until last week, some of my Apps alert for updates, and I try to update it through market, and suprise me that it didn't shown up.
I did encounter this problem in GBX before, that's is because Market updated to new version. However, this time I checked that no Market update occured.
May somebody help me on this? I know that Market 'filter' out some of my Apps because the config (or requirements I guess) does not match with the Apps, so it didn't shown up. Is there a way to fix this problem? It is quite annoying as I need to find the apk elsewhere, and not all can be found.
Many many thanks.
I just reading the Hyperdroid cm7 thread because there is a new release. I notice the author mentioned a point to the ver 5.6 is that even lcd density is not 240, Market will treat it as 240.
So I try to modify build.prop and change it from 192 and 240, a lot of Apps update (**but not all**) appear in the Market now.
How can I know what exact config is expected by an App?
Give this one a try:
ro.product.model=Vision
ro.product.brand=htc_wwe
ro.product.name=Vision
ro.product.device=Vision
ro.product.board=Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-google
modify lines above in the build.prop and reboot.
With this I can get all Apps i want to have.
Some Apps arent compatible with the HD2, cause its a WinMo Stock Device
You could either name the App you want, i search the market and post if this one is compatible with a build.prop as mentioned above
DO you think flash to 5.6 can solve the lcd density problem? It is quite annoying to change to 240 and reboot (as I like 192)......thx.
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
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.

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
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.
Weird problem appear suddenly.
I have the device for a week.
The device is 802 inter include root only.
The photo show how the screen look from inside the camera apk.
Already tried to delet camera apk cashe files and gallery apk cashe files & tried Titanium backup.
did you change your dpi settings? it does that to me only when I change the dpi.
Yes, but I changed it back to 420.
Still the same.
You should change to 480, not 420.
Try it.
Root only eh

how can I change the camera dpi only?..
Using Xposed Installer > Download > App Settings
After that, enable the module.
Launch App Settings
Your camera should be fine after that.
So, the question is, after change to 480DPI, is normal right? So I assume not hardware problem, only DPI problem.
Ty, I perfer to reinstall the rom.
