[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Uncensored:
Thanks. I have confirmed changing the LCD Density & deleting the Market app data is/was necessary on my rooted Photon 4G. I tested 160, 192, 200, 210, 225 (my original), 240 & 264. Along with app cache, sys cache, & memory dumps for each density. The only thing that worked for me was LCD Density 240, reboot, delete Market app data & system cache.

Immediately after & without rebooting I was prompted for a new agreement in Market & able to install previously incompatible app.

Now I need to figure out how to get Market to register Chomp as an installed app without having to delete & reinstall. It was installed by downloading the apk from their website due to this alleged incompatibility.

Weird thing is Market shows app installed when I search it. However it does not appear in my apps section of Market. Any ideas? Perhaps I should clear the Chomp data too? Lol

Worked perfectly thank you
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spl4tt:
wtf. so i need to change lcd densitiy everytime i want to downoad an app?

this sounds definitley ****

srsly, i just flashed the NexusHD2 ICS ROM and not even root explorer is compatible now. then i installed it via a apk from my sd card.

im switching back to GB..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gprash:
Switching back to GB won't solve your problem. This is due to the market app. The pro version of LCD density changer says there is way to spoof the market to think the LCD density is at 240 (which is the one that works). :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jedi Magnum:
Is that actually "LCD Density Modder Pro"?

My density is/was already set at 240.

Ok, I want to make sure I have this correct....

I have to buy an app that fools the Market into thinking I have the density set to the value that it already is?

Before I go to that trouble, I want to verify that the issue is truly with the LDC density and not with the model of the phone? I ask because, even after changing my build.prop to remove all references to HD2, and changing to model to "vision", when I go to settings/about phone it still says my phone is an HTC HD2. (complete steps I took found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23726581#post23726581)

Example: I went to [draw something] Plonga's official site via my phone (after repeatedly verifying the changes to the build.prop, rebooting, and then clearing the data from Google and the Market) and that site still verified that I was using an HTC HD2 and wouldn't let me d/l directly from the site.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jedi Magnum:
Anyone else have any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shanman-2:
I used MarketEnabler apk from the market to solve this problem when changing the lcd density did not work. The one that worked for me was vodafone ie . You can get the codes using MarketEnablerCodes apk.(both free apks)

Of course these apks have to be "compatable"..lol.

I back-up a lot and have had these apks for a while..if you need
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Spl4tt:
yes, i searched more and found out that there are two densities wich the market accepts.

first one is the standard 240 and the second is 160.

i used 167, and switched to 160. every app is working and "compatible" now.. i dont need any hacked market anymore
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dooshbag45:
I changed my LCD to 160, and the mentioned method worked, but now I have a black bar sitting below the notification bar in the home screen only. No apps do it. Any suggestions?

EDIT: I am using adw launcher if that makes a difference.

That's a question a noob might ask, but not a noob question...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jedi Magnum:
This didn't work for me. I've changed my dpi and build.prop information at least a dozen times, making the phone think its a samsung, other HTC, a Nexus etc. Used "Market Enabler" and faked every Country/Provider on the list with no success. Cleared the cache/data from the market each time.

I was foolish enough to purchase LCD Density Modder Pro. After following the directions by the app designer, multiple times, I can no longer get into the market at all. Completely non functional.

Could it be the ROM? I had just upgraded to Cyanogenmod7, Android 2.3.7, hoping that in and of itself would cure my market problems.

No matter what I changed or tried, the market always recognized my phone as a HTC HD2, and the "about" section of the phone indicated the same, in spite of my build.prop listing it as a samsung.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chrisrj28:
That's strange, I installed that app and got the hacked market installed just fine. I'm using 208 density with TBD
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jedi Magnum:
Problem solved. I bought a Samsung Galaxy SII and sold my HD2 on eBay.

For the record, the dev never responded to my PM nor addressed my issue.

Stole $3 bucks from me, but live and learn. Buyer beware: lack of support.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NuShrike:
A couple days after nand install of Typhoon CM7, 160 or 240 DPI, clear-cache+uninstall+reboot doesn't fix Market incompatibility.

edit: apparently, without a SIM, needed to use Market Enabler to set to TMOUS. Works, for now.

Interesting tidbit, after clear-cache+uninstall+reboot doesn't fix Market incompatibility, just changing the sim-operator and going directly back into Market without any other clear-cache+uninstall+reboot+dpi changes, it "just works". So we know one of the checks Market does when the Activity "resumes".

RomToolBox Pro

I realize this thread is pretty old but never had a problem until today. I'm running CyanMobile X v2.3.8. Despite how I loathe Facebook I was pretty pissed when I got the "Device not compatible" message.

My LCD Density was already at 260. Clearing Cache didn't work, neither did Clear Data. I removed Market Updates and tried an old version. Fail.

I'd also like to mention that I didn't get past the first page of this thread before resolving the issue so if there is information or a better solution deeper in, please don't flame. :cowboy:

Anyway I opened up RomToolbox Pro and went to AppManager/Backups. I happened to have an old FB backup so I restored it. It works fine. Honestly my biggest problem was remembering my password. :mad: There is a message at the top of my newsfeed telling me it's an old version and they suggest I update but it works fine and I don't care enough to waste anymore time on it. Until an app I really care about is affected anyway.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] justom:
Change LCD density to default 240, then reboot.

Then you must clear data of Play Google.

It should work

Hello,

Can someone please help me here? I am having the same exact issue. My PD is set to 240. I have uninstalled updates, cleared cache, and even reflashed the entire CM7 and GAPPS img's. It still shows a black bar saying my phone is incompatible.

I am truly stumped and I have scoured the net for hours now. I am lost, heartbroken, and very pissed off. Please help. PLEASE!

Hello all,

I, as many others, are having issues with dynamic reflow of text in the default browser. I realize there is another thread on this in the SGSII forums but I wasn't sure if there would be a different fix. Anyone else having this issue? Any potential fixes? I love the smoothness and the few addons that Samsung has done to the stock browser (Dolphin HD has been my go-to browser on my N1), but dynamic reflow is a must-have for me and I'd prefer not to use Opera.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] iruleyounow:
So I wanted to buy another phone to tinker with. Obviously not a brand new one just something older. But I have no idea what to get. I just wanna have a phone to mess with and also a backup. So any suggestions?

Infuse running infused v2.0.2.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theROMinator:
Nexus one :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
the nexus one is like a perfect phone. i really like the trackball notifications and the slim pocketable profile

it also gets the latest updates though that may change soon for all i know but it will always get back ports

other cool pieces of hardware are the droid (if you are on verizon) its only 500mhz or so but has the same gpu as the droid 2 and iphone4. it was ahead of it's time in many areas with support hardware and can be often overclocked to 1ghz even up to 1.3 for the lucky few that can handle it. and had good (480x852) resolution

the aria is cool if you dont mind low resolution small screens. it is plenty fast because it doesnt have as many pixels to generate but is a pain to type on.

remember with any of these phone apps to sd is used a lot due to the small data partitions so get a class 4 or better sd card. i dont think class 10 is needed but class 6 might be a good idea.

there is also the hd2 which is the ultimate mod phone as the boot loaders can multi boot different operating systems.

On Google Navigation, GPS Essentials, GPS Status, it can never get a fix. Everything needed is enabled, tried multiple reboots, etc, still not working. Left it there for like a hour and after still no fix. GPS Essentials doesn't even see any satellites while trying to get a fix.

Any fixes for me or is this just a hardware issue? :(
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
Are you testing in a big open area? That's where I would test first. Is your 3G data working? With 3G data, it locks significantly faster than without it.

it's definitely a hardware issue, have the same problems.

SNR values stay below 30! Insufficient to get a good fix.

Tested many gps fix apps, all not able to solve.

Fixed my problem by using an external Bluetooth GPS Antenna (old Nokia) and GPS Bluetooth app from the Market. Now GPS fix in seconds, SNR values above 40.. constant fix never looses signal etcetc...

Antenna on device is to weak!
[Nexus S General] X1111:
of course ,see the post no.9 in that thread

i did that by using XXKD1 radio ,now i'm on XXKF1 and think it has weaker GPS config....

edit : dont forget to turn on GPS and WiFi for downloading data
[Nook Touch Android Development] nickveldrin:
I know you said that it's not compatible with v1.0.1, but is there a reason why you don't have v1.0.1 firmware on your nook? It's been out since July/August and works just as (un)well with the rooting scripts out there.
[Nook Touch Android Development] traycold:
mostly, just because i'm lazy! :) and on changelog it's just mentioned that 1.0.1 hav some improvement on wifi, that i don't use at all.

In any case, this doesn't matter for my mod, since i downloaded the manual upgrade file from B&N, so that it would be easy to apply the mod to 1.0.1. I just need to find some time. I hope i will do it during the week-end.

Regards
[Nook Touch Android Development] nickveldrin:
Okay thank you! I will look forward to the 1.0.1 release.
[Nook Touch Android Development] mad_scientist:
Another option is to use Cool Reader 3. It has Nook Simple Touch features (e.g.: type of refresh - full, fast; you can map the physical buttons) and, starting with cr3.0.51-20, it automatically creates one folder (currentbook) in screensavers and saves the current book's cover in that directory (deleting all others when the current book is changing). You can then choose that directory in the standard screensaver option of your Nook.

Not to mention other nice touches not present in the standard reader (showing the clock and the battery percentage or bars while reading a book, very customizable).
[Nook Touch Android Development] koltzu:
Yeah, problem encountered when I try reading or going into settings.. here's the log:

http://pastebin.com/fGGJVnGQ

I'm using 1.0.0

EDIT: Restored the backuped files, reader's back online, settings still not working :[

This particular error appears when I'm trying to launch the settings panel:

No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.SETTINGS flg=0x14400000 }

Touching the wifi icon doesn't open up any popup, it just fast reboots the nook
[Nook Touch Android Development] traycold:
hi,

sorry for your issue.

Actually, i also had some issue just opening the wifi-tab of the settings. I didn't found it before simply because i don't use wifi at all, so normally i don't have any reason to open it!

To solve this issue, you just need to update the file settings.apk, following the instruction on post 1. I updated the file "Settings.apk" in the firtst post.

In your case, if you reverted to original file, then there is no trace left of my modification, so i really don't understand what may occur. It could be useful to get a complete logcat trace since boot. To do so, launch the logcat command, as soon as the Nook is booting (tipically, as soon as the Nook drive appears on Windows): this way, you don't miss the first log lines that could help understanding your issue.

Additional advices: check that, after reverting to original files, you set the right permissions; wipe dalvik-cache:

adb shell rm /data/dalvik-cache/*.*
[Nook Touch Android Development] koltzu:
Thanks for the answer, I did as you told and the settings started working [by using your apk] but the reader died again. Replaced it again by using my files and the reader started working while the settings menu stopped working.

I seem to be unable to do a logcat while booting [can't connect through cable for some reason].

I blame all of these problems on my own previous tinkering with my nook.

Luckily I have a backup that I've done before rooting the nook. I'll just restore it and try again on a 'clean' and newly rooted Android system as soon as I get my hand on a microSD card.

If I bang into any more problems after restoring, I'll let you know

Hey tray - thanks a lot!

But many of us here have already installed modified versions of android.policy.jar and services.jar...it's not possible to release a patcher, right? Can't ask for too much, and don't mean to be belittling your contributions...

And, btw, I'm seeing all these different patches here...does anybody have a primer on patching these jars? Or at least some intro? I'd google it but I'm not quite sure what to search for...
[Nook Touch Android Development] persichini:
That would be awesome if you did bring it to 1.1. I under stand developers have lives outside of development thank you for your time.
[Nook Touch Android Development] met67:
Since you are going to patch Reader.apk, how hard would it be to modify it so that it can be launched from standard drawer as any other app?

It would be great to be able to add a big icon (e.g. with Desktop VisualizeR) to the home page that opens the book your currently reading... :D
[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
Hey trey- instead of releasing a jar file, which many of us have modified, what about just giving us whatever you modify in the smalis, and then we go ahead and apply the patch ourselves?
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
You could also take the stock 1.0.0 files and make the patches yourself.
[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
LOL, right, if I knew just what the heck I was looking for...:)
[Nook Touch Android Development] mali100:
You don't need to know! Decompile the original files, decompile the files from this thread (apktool). Make a diff of the to decompiled folders (diff -crB folder_with_decompiled_stock_files folder_with_decompiled_files_from_this_thread > diff.patch ). Now you know what has been changed and you can try to use the patch with the 1.1 files.
[Nook Touch Android Development] LastSilmaril:
Thanks...I've never had to really use diff for anything before so I never really thought about it. I'll try it out, but likely not today - I need a break from Nook testing/hackery already (see my dhcp thread...)

So I have a little problem wis this:

NOK if I read an ebbok on sdcard

Anyone have this issue ?
[Nook Touch Android Development] persichini:
all my books are on internal memory so i havent noticed
[Nook Touch Android Development] Tired_:
I followed the instructions using Root Explorer, and the device lost all my ADW settings. What did I do wrong, and can I get them back?

Edit: Apps won't launch from ADW, either. ADW itself launches, and the Barnes & Noble stuff works, but nothing else. Even Button Savior is gone (although the custom buttons I had set in XorZone's mods are still there).
[Nook Touch Android Development] traycold:
hi,

i haven't an sdcard installed, so i didn't test it. Anyway, this week-end i will make some tries. I hope to fix this issue.

hi,

sorry for the inconvenient. I just have a plain Nook, with the only addition of XorMode application, so no custom launcher, market or any other application; therefore i couldn't reproduce your issue.

Anyway, the only cause i can think of is the deletion of file packages.xml.

While i may not be sure they will work, i can just suggest 2 possible fixes:

disinstall (in case, using ADB or simply removing the APK with RootExplorer and re-booting) and then re-install ADW and any other application that don't work (of course, after having installed my mod); i hope the file packages.xml is re-generated automatically;

in case you have a back-up without my modification, and you restored it (i.e.: without my mod); then, you can try re-installing it but without deleting packages.xml, and instead editing it and removing only entry related to Settings.apk (i know: it's quite a long and a bit difficult procedure, since you need to: 1. pull the file packages.xml to your pc; 2. edit the file, removing just the content related to Settings.apk, without making any other modification; 3. push the file to the Nook using ADB, and then setting permission; that's the reason that i just though of deleting the file at all: it's simpler and in my case worked);

I would suggest expecially option-1 as first try.

If you try, let me know if it work.

In any case, thanks for your feedback, and i will add a warning on first post about your issue.
[Nook Touch Android Development] persichini:
Did you set the permissions correctly on all the items... if you didn't set the permission correctly on the settings apps then it will cause all kinds of issue with all apps from what i've seen
[Nook Touch Android Development] Tired_:
I'm fairly certain I set the permissions correctly. Terminal works (about the only thing that does!), so I can check. -rw-r--r-- on Settings.apk, and all the jar's in /system/framework, is that what they're supposed to be?

On further inspection, it looks like all the settings, for everything, have been lost or restored to default. ADW lost the Minimal theme, my custom keyboard settings are gone (but the keyboard still functions), etc. Apps that function on the device with default settings are OK, everything else not so much. I didn't think to make a complete backup before I applied the mod (I renamed all the files to name.bak as suggested, and figured that'd be enough...obviously not!), but it's not even a week old, so starting from scratch isn't a huge deal. I'd like to help chase down the problem so others can benefit though, but I'm too inexperienced to do that myself. What should I look at next?
[Nook Touch Android Development] erreur404:
cool ... many thanks

:)
[Nook Touch Android Development] traycold:
hi, did you red my previous message? i suspect your issue is caused by something related to file "packages.xml" being deleted and then manually regenerated. Possible suggestion: you may try to compare the packages.xml as it is before my mod is applied (i think you still have a packages.xml.bak) and the current one.

This file should have several sections, basically one for each application (file apk) in the system. You can replace the content of the current one with the content of the old one (where everything worked), except for the section of Settings.apk, that need to be kept as the current one in order for the system to work correctly. Of course, after modifiying packages.xml, you need to reboot.

Regards
[Nook Touch Android Development] Tired_:
I hadn't actually fully read your message. I ran a diff on the two packages.xml, and tried to reconcile the differences. That got most of my apps working, and reinstalling Gapps from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20069301&postcount=11 got some more working. Market is the only one that doesn't work...it flashes the screen then fails to launch. Also, widgets silently fail to add, but I think that's something wrong with my ADW settings.
