Hey

I was wondering if there were someon who had found a solution to run GNEX in tablet mode with the phone functions

It all works with the 160/180 dpi. I can send and receive SMS but not call!

I have installed AOKP 24

If you have a solution please write straight (and no comment whether I should go back to 200 + dpi )

I'm looking for a solution and not a change back

Thx :-)

The modded market looses functionality periodically and requires a 'clear data'to get it working again. Just like the free version of the modded market posted here...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Thanks so much for the thread :) Has anyone got it working perfectly at 160? I've tried the DPI settings built into AOKP, but the soft keys and the status bar have disappeared :( It's a shame, I really love the tablet-optimized app on my phone in landscape mode :D Typing notes with Google Docs is also amazing on that DPI :)

I currently use button savior in place of the soft keys, but I hope to get it fully functioning soon.

If anyone could test this out using the method posted in this thread, or if they have a fix for the status bar and soft keys disappearing, please let me know. (Preferably PM)

Thanks so much,

Mosh

i can help u :D

1) Download "Shake task killer" from market and "lmt" from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1330150

Now u can control u device with gestures instead of softkeys!

2) disable the buttons before changing the dpi (make your device fullscreen)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497558

3) and last change the dpi to 180dpi via rom control in sittings

4) reboot the phone :D and then your have table UI with some phone functions

I purchased the paid app and installed the latest modded market. I have a recurring error with the modded market. I always get an error when trying to purchase and dl any paid apps. Any help with this would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bonis666:
Trying to change with ES file explorer, but get "error while saving file" is there any special encoding stuff you need to change ? Im rooted and on AOKP M3, so i should be able to change but need 241 due to the music app bugg.. and AOKP only gives 240 as option. Any tips
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stringar:
I have run into a problem I can't seem to find a response to. I installed the app, changed my DPI to 240 with no issue. looks great (minus the soft keys being push to the left but I have not looked into a solution for that).

Since I had been up all night I decided to just go back to normal setting until I could look into it more. So I changed the DPI in the app to 320 and rebooted. Only now, it's still at 240.

When I pulled the build.prop file, it said the DPI is set at 320. I changed it to 240, pushed file back, rebooted, pulled file, changed to 320, pushed back, rebooted and still stuck at 240.

Does anyone know what's going on here? I tried a bunch of other DPI numbers too with no luck. It's stuck at the very first DPI I changed it too, and I can't change it to anything else.

FYI I'm using gummynex 0.7.6 with the gummy gapps 4.0.4, and 4.0.3 radios.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koray00:
Hello, it didnt work on my GNex!

I always get an error: "an unknown error occurred while saving DPI value
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] koray00:
Does anyone have the same error? ?

Thank you for your help!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mekanismen:
Now I'm having the same issue. Every time I try to download an app it gets stuck at "Starting download..." or whatever it says in English.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mcg:
follow the instructions on AOKP and step #5 gives options for 241 and even custom settings. you probably didn't follow the instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
What is the solution to upgrading to Google play (new android market) after having already installed this modded market? New market may work at various dpi changes. Has anyone tried it yet on gnex, changed the dpi, and have success?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
good question, I'd like to know as well...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Running AOKP B27 with 240 density seems to work now all around. No problem with the new Youtube HD app and the Video camera works fine switching from the regular camera. Don't really see any negatives now in running 240 and the market recognizes this density so you do not get any compatibility issues. Of course you still need to change your launcher to Nova or Apex but why wouldn't you do that anyway. They both offer so much more over stock...

Also, in case people are not aware, if the text is to small for you at 240 go into the settings and under display there is an option for text size. Changing this will make it larger throughout most of the system. Also, some apps have their own option regarding text size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zealotki11er:
Can you go higher then 320?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_GreenTree:
Thank you for the updated play store/market OP!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Salem24:
I updated to Play Store but the trick in the OP doesn't work for me as it didn't with Market. Don't want to pay for the modded Market as it seems not to work perfectly.

Any solution? I am on 260 dpi. 241 is to0 low for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Barlow:
I'm having issues with it not working either, I'd wait a bit, the dev will get it working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
updated to latest play store 3.4.7

cannot download ANY apps...it just hangs on "starting download"...anyone have any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
I'm using 241 dpi and the temp fix no longer works with the updated market.. is there a work around or a fix for this besides buying the app?

I may just decide to use 240 if all else fails..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shock2sys:
I changed to 241 dpi and i have not run into any trouble. the only minor issue that I have is that the custom launcher icons are slightly cut off.

The market works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Use nova launcher, looks amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anfozy:
i was experiencing the same problem, i was using 240 dpi, downloads always hang, as said in previous posts settings-apps-clear data

BAM!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
I installed the new version with the GSF mod and now nothing related with google services works (signal bar stays gray, force crashes of all google apps). I already tried removing my google account and readding it. Nothing works, help!

Im on AOKP M4, SGN GSM

I had to wipe and reinstall the rom, for those of you who are on the edge, dont install the GSF mod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
All, this can be fixed by installing BusyBox and then re-installing the PlayStore + GSF apks afterwards.

There is a bug in the BusyBox detection code
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
It you have DPI issues, ty this modded Vending.apk, it should fix all your problems ;)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7812701/Vending.apk

Copy and replace, in system apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
Just want to thank the dev for all the support and updates he is giving to the lcd density modder pro app... I installed the new play store and GSF mod and it's working great so far! I'll never go back to 320 DPI again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbyeung:
Still doesn't work for me... after installing GSF, all Google apps (Mail, Maps, etc.) keep force closing. Playstore can't connect to anything either. Any ideas? AOKP b27, nova, running at 241dpi. Thanks.

I can install apps via browser fine, but the Playstore app doesn't work (and I have more incompatible apps on browser)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
New market is out, version 3.5.15

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Anyone try this?

Hope to see an update for LCD Density Modder Pro...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theb1rdm4n:
I just released LCD Density Modder Pro v2.4.0. It includes the Play Store v3.5.15.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Does the vendor file do the same thing as modder pro?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks, time to grab the update...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Anybody getting apps getting stuck on "starting download" ..and how do I update the new vendor file. It won't let me uninstall the old one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nascasho:
To be safe, go into System/app and rename Vending.apk to vending.apk.bak or something, then take the new one, drop in its place, and change permissions to rw-r--r--
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
Yes, but make sure you do a back up of your old vender.apk just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Thank you but how do I change permission? I'm using ES file explorer.

EDIT NVM GOT IT.

EDIT2: Some apps are still being stuck on "starting download"

what gives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Barlow:
Hey Birdman,

I'm having the GSF problem like others as well. I have busybox v. 1.19.3 installed with jrummy's busybox installer.

Running Bugless Beast 3-16-2012

I've also tried manually moving the apk's into the app directory, still no luck.

EDIT: Tried manually moving the apk's, first it would connect, but the store would FC, I tried installing the store without GSF using your app, still incompatible

EDIT2: SUCCESS! I manually moved GSF to the system app folder, installed the market with your app, reboot, clear GSF data, reboot again, now it works!

EDIT3: Nope, lost it after a reboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
This is ridiculous. With the temp method, (reboot into 320, clear cache, diasble updater etc), it works for a while then apps starts showing as imcompatible.

With the modded vendor file for the latest one, some apps I get a error msg saying "the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."

I'm on 241. Not sure what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dark79:
I haven't been able to get any of the GSF mods to work on Bugless Beast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
What is the GSF mods? I installed it through the app and everything works fine but not sure what that even is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Barlow:
GSF is the Google Services Framework that's needed for a truely permenent mod I believe. What version of Bugless and Busy Box are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maddler:
Looks there is something wrong with AOKP.

I've just updated to Build28 and my apps just disappeare from patched market.

I've tried re-downloading it and cleaning data but nothing changed.

I've installed gapps-20120317.

Any clue, fix,whatever?

thx

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I was using Axiom Rom and AOKP build 28. I did not install Bugless or Busy unless is was cooked in...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
latest version with latest play market and GSF still craps out google services for me using AOKP milestone 4.

Had to just extract the stock GSF.apk from my rom to get it all working again.

I have busybox installed, it just seems like the GSF mod is incompatible with a lot of Roms
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mr. Barlow:
That makes sense, I noticed that modded GSF wasn't even in the Apps menu. Is there anywhere I can see what modifications were done to the app? I wanna try doing them manually with BB's version of GSF to see if that can work

hi again

help please .

I have the galaxy tab 7 7 with Honeycomb ?

I did hard reset my tab but it still problem to start up

I used the LCD Density Modder Pro v2.4.2

it mess up the my tab

I don't know how to fix this problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truedis:
Is anyone else using LCD Density Modder Pro for its patched versions of Google Play that supposedly override the density checks and let you install apps/get updates at non-standard DPIs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pongalong:
Has anyone gotten the market to behave properly with a alternate density yet? I haven't tried the vendor.apk method here yet since most posts are about failures.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darll:
I currently use the lcd modder pro app and i have downloaded the alternate market app and the gsk apk associated with it..

I am currently on 241 dpi for my galaxy nexus and have not experienced any market incompatibility since i started using the modded market apk about 2 weeks ago....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeeholim:
I've been using my Gnex on LCD Density 240 with AOKP B30, Trinity Kernel, and haven't encountered a single problem.. Everything is working just fine? o_o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
The new update of Google Chrome wont work with 240 dpi on my Nexus. Just crashes right away. Switched to 320 and it starting working....Anyway around this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhericurls:
You tried 241?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
No as i dont feel like trying to get the market to show all my updates and the issue with incompatible apps in the market. Its way too much a pita running modded markets plus i have had no issues before on 240....i also doubt 241 would work for this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Please forgive me if this is already in the thread somewhere but I searched and didn't see it. Is anybody successfully running LCD density modder pro on 4.0.4? I had everything working beautifully with 4.0.2 and now with 4.0.4 (unlocked and rooted) I get "an error occurred while saving the dpi: /data/data/com.birdapi.android/dpipro/build.prop.bak: open failed ENOENT (No such directory or file)" and "Saved DPI: always says "N/A."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
Everything is fine here with 4.0.4 at 240 dpi
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Well that's weird as hell then. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program with no luck. Anybody got any ideas from my error message?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
Because. Bak is your back up file not your Prop file..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
So how do I tell LCD desity modder pro it's trying to change the wrong file? I didn't tell it where to look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rroronoa:
What happens or does it even work if you change dpi higher than 320? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ArmanUV:
fine here (aokp b33)

that seems like a permissions problem. Do you get the superuser access prompt/toast when you try to save the dpi?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SKYLINESSUCK:
Yes I get the SU prompt and allow it of course. I also just reflashed my phone due to a botched OTA update. I'm now on a clean install of the newest version of 4.0.4 and same exact issue. I'm very confused.

can someone please re-upload the files needed to be able to take advantage of all the new space when you set it to 240 on the home screen? I'm stuck with 4 x 4... because the links in the OP are dead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IIIPowerIII:
I don't have the file but you could install nova launcher, you can customize everything.

Chrome Beta is not working, it force closes at start up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _atlien_:
I am running @241 dpi. The market wasn't showing many different apps for me. Wallet, Kindle, Netflix. I ran the market compatibility inside Modder and it fixed everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.sonic:
I am on 240 and market 3.5.16 was bad. Today market got updated to 3.5.17, and now it's showing all my apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AnimeLoverX:
why change lcd density at all?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hubik.j:
More screen real estate. Galaxy Nexus has huge high resolution display, but you don't get that much more space on the screen compared to smaller phones (still 4x4 icons on homescreen etc.). In stock settings the higher resolution just makes everything nice and smooth, but many people have good eye sight and want more (smaller) stuff on the display. And this is the solution.

For everybody who has problems with Chrome:

I read about issues at 240 dpi, so I tried the 241 and everything seems to be ok ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilude56214:
Really want chrome beta run in 240 dpi for the much more differences it has than 241dpi, 241 looks like 260,280,...Any chance for this ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Chrome betas not that great to begin with IMO.

I use 241.. how does it not look like 240? It doesn't break the music app, that's the main reason for me using it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilude56214:
Message, dialer, settings,..and more stuff that you could see in page 1, though 240dpi is not so stable as 241 dpi but it's the difference

Gmaps Crash

Hi Guys,

I have SLIM ics and it seems that gmaps in 241 keeps crashing. It does that in 320 but less often. I have no problem with any other apps.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] druhaul:
does this work with jelly bean?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] warrenis1234:
it does for me, but the lock in the slide lock screen doesn't center. small annoyance.

i was using Rom toolbox, wanted to go back but the slider ended way before the stock 320, so i tried to use another app and after reboot, never boots all the way.

I'm sure it's my fault, just sharing to possibly save some hassle

Sent from my Galaxy Sexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
There is some **** up about the way certain apps do the DPI change..i dont know how that is possible, I thot the only way to do it was change the actual line in the file....

But using ROM toolbox or root explorer (or adb push, change, adb pull I would think would work too) boots up fine. Do not use any "Density changing apps" i have no idea what exactly happens but it screws it up, and it never gets past the "Google" screen, or even to the point where logcat service starts up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
So should I bother with jellybean if I rely on 240/241 dpi?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dew.man:
I'm running jb at 240, and its the smoothest, best running phone I've ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _atlien_:
Running Jellybean at 280 so that I can have the phone layout (vs tablet) Seats for some apps while still gaining real estate on the screen. It's great. Rom Toolbox rocks.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesInsights:
Hi everyone I am running Bigxie 4.1.1 ROM that released yesterday.. Tried to change DPI, my phone would not boot up. It is possible to pull the backup file of your build.prop located in /system but what I did was to just wipe cache and reflash the ROM. Just a heads up for anyone trying to lower the DPI on this ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Don't use the app, modify the build.prop manually. It worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
Just did this for the first time ever and it's amazing. I'm on jelly bean source. I did it by manually editing the file. Works great no issues so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turnuslives:
How do you make the launcher take advantage of the real estate? It is still 4x4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Nova launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imablackhat:
Nova launcher is awesome. I'm 5x4 ATM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
240 DPI and 7x6 grid is where its at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alvin.durant:
Anyone has solution on lowering DPI but with centered lockscreen ring?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloz46:
Any solution to jellybean?

no it focuses the unlock screen. : S

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fixyourtech:
I notice that problem to, I have mine set to 240dpi.

It doesn't bother me too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Molitro:
I'm looking around to see if someone has come with a patch to mod the GSF so the market stops misbehaving in Jelly Bean, but no luck so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaboleo:
Should have read this before! :(

Now I am kind of stuck in this situation.

I downloaded the free app that is suggested in the initial post of this thread and changed the density to 260dpi. After rebooting the phone doesn't really boot up. It shows the white text "Google" logo and the small white (open) lock.

The Bootanimation (the Nexus "X" in the case of Jelly Bean) doesn't show up and no controls work. When pushing the "Volume Down" key it seems like it reaches "vibration mode", but the screen remains black!

Changing the density setting back in the build.prop using adb pull, manual edit and push to get it back doesn't work in that case!

/system was mounted correctly as read-write, because I checked if the changes were saved by pulling the prop file again. And my manual edit from 260 back to 320 was in that file.

Not I don't really know what to do :(

I didn't use any custom rom and I want to return to the stock one.

So I guess using "Google Nexus Toolkit v7.5" to download the 4.0.4 build directly from google, flashing this using the toolkit and then updating again to Jellybean and (if neccessary) again unlocking/rooting/flashing CWM recovery is the only way to go, right?

The wasted time could be accounted as "valuable lesson learned...never ever skip a Nandroid Backup, seriously...never". :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevilStrider:
i want to try this but I like everything working so I'll pass.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spaboleo:
Just to keep you updated...

I located the app using adb. "com.birdapi.android.dpi-1.apk", which can be found in /data/app on the Galaxy Nexus.

adb uninstall didn't work and gave me the answer "sh: pm: not found".

So I used "adb shell rm -f /data/app/com.birdapi.android.dpi-1.apk", which removed the apk.

As uninstall should not only remove the apk but more over uninstall the app, the data and settings, I was looking for other traces of this crappy "LC Density Modder Free".

In /data/data/com.birdapi.android.dpi/ I was able to find a file called "build.prop.bak", aswell as a "build.prop.temp".

So I pulled the bak and found out that it didn't contain anything else than my previous settings with the 320dpi. So it's a backup of the build.prop done by the crappy app.

The temp file whereas contained the setting that caused trouble the 260dpi.

I even edited the temp file using the previously mentioned pull / manually edit / push method using adb. But it didn't help at all.

Wiping /cache and /data/dalvik-cache didn't help as well.

Now I am really running outof clues what is causing the problems.

Seems like that app did not only effect the build.prop :(

Or Jelly Beans handles changes to the build.prop differently.

Does someone know?

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

Okay, I gave up and flashed the 4.0.4 Image again using the Toolkit.

Now downloading the Jelly Bean Update again.

Learned lesson:

If you start a new app, which exact function you don't know and that wants root acces, make a nandroid backup first.

*sigh
