[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pathologo:
Your fix and the one from LCD Density Modder Pro seem to be the only working ones, as both also include a patched GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

The other fixes - like L.D.B. - can show all the 'incompatible' apps, but are not able to install them, instead the store gives an error message.

The only question now is - will you update your post with every new version of the Google Play Store? :)

Maybe you could also help Tsjoklat with his fix, as his GoogleServicesFramework.apk patch doesn't work right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yank555:
Oh well, might I put pathologo's question slightly differently, just in case you wouldn't want to update every single future version, you would mind explaining what needs to be done ?

This is THE most important mod I (wanted to write 'have installed', but I actually really mean) NEED on my phone since I'm running at 184dpi and can't live with 240 :(

So in essence, I'm willing to do it myself, but I don't know what needs to be done exactly and would be very interested to know this.

JP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blindfold_NL:
Thanks. This finally solved having to switch to 240 every time I wanted to install an incompatible app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cole2kb:
I would also like to throw in a request as to how this is done exactly. I want to write a guide for my phone on another forum on changing LCD Density, as there are quite a few users discouraging others from doing so due to the issues with the Play Store.

Semi-related, can I mirror your files on my post and give you credit, or would you like me to link straight back to this thread?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] syl0n:
Doesn't work on CM7. After flashing this I lost my market app and had to re-flash gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blindfold_NL:
Plagueboy,

I never got the CWM package working, but replacing the files worked perfectly.

Have you ever contacted ROM creators to see if they want to include your changed market files in their ROM's?

Because it's great we can fix the problem with your files, but it would be even better if this fix would be default in all ROM's so we don't have to update the market files after each update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PlagueBoy:
You can mirror them, if you haven't already. Sorry for the delay in response I have been away for work for over a month and running short on time.

I haven't really reached out to any of the ROM developers... I guess I just never thought of it since it doesn't seem like a very large portion of the community actually changes DPI. Also, there seem to be a lot of options for getting around the Google Play issues when DPI is changed, so it just seemed to fit better as a mod in my mind. Glad I was able to help you though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yank555:
Any chance to get to know how you need to mod both files ? I'd really like to be able to do it in case of a Play Store update that breaks this mod :(

And you're not around to help us out immediately :D You know patience is a virtue so little of us have :o

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Porkchops:
anyone else lose their purchase apps?

I was able to just manually replace the files and it's working great, with one exception: Any apps that I had previously purchased but didn't have installed aren't showing up as having been purchased anymore... Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if anyone knows if there's a fix for this?:confused: I just copied the files over, set the permissions and cleared data on the Google Play through Manage Applications. Running 4.0.3 ICS...

Hi men, I have been using your mod by 3 days and this is my findings.

1. I cannot purchase any app from my phone because always I'm getting an error in the process.

2. It seems that your googleframework mod breaks some authentication betweet google and other apps. (I'm talking about tasks, that when it request google auth to have my tasks it couldn't resolve it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blindfold_NL:
I don't know if this is the same way Plagueboy does it, but I found a guide for this. This still refers to Vending.apk, which has been replaced by Phonesky.apk if I'm not mistaken, but for the people who want to try it out themselves:

Unfortunately I cannot paste links yet to properly link to the source of this guide, but I claim no credit for this. I just found it.

Great work PlagueBoy, gcf modified by you works on andromadus audacity beta 5 (ics) on desire Z. But can you tell us step by step how did you managed to modify GoogleServicesFramework.apk in such a way that it create no problems with google talk etc? I wanna know because I want to modify it on my own for my older device which is running cm 7.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] PlagueBoy:
Once I get back state side I will sit down and actually write out a little tutorial for you and all the other people that put out a request for this. It will be easier since I have to completely redo the project as the laptop I was using for development was actually stolen while I was in Germany. Anyway, once I get my replacement laptop and can figure everything out again I will put up a tutorial and fix the CWM download in the original post that seems to be causing problems for people.

Sorry for the delay everyone, but having my laptop hampered my ability to actually work on this and many other projects.

What do I need to do? I assume it's more than just installing the apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Yank555:
Well you need to replace the Phonesky.apk in "/system/app" with the modded apk to install the modded Play Store. I'd suggest you clear data for Play Store after that and a reboot couldn't hurt either. Or the cleaner way would be to make a flashable zip and flash the modded Play Store in recovery.

By doing that, you're on the modded Play Store. But as I said, happiness will not last long if GoogleServicesFramework.apk isn't modded as well, for custom dpi that is.

If your question was about how to change dpi, either you edit "/system/build.prop" or you use an app like "dpichanger" from Play Store.

JP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boostmx:
I honestly just installed the APK. LOL. But I did run this mod fix prior though...so if things go kukoo i'll be sure to report back. So far so good though. All the apps that I knew would say "incompatible" are coming up fine.

New Version 3.7.13 is on the OP

The download is up there...

As for the tutorial: If enough people respond to the new file and let me know it is actually functioning then I will include the information of the two lines that were edited. Since the original laptop I was doing this on was actually stolen while I was in Germany I had to restart all my projects that I had been working on. At least now I have a new laptop and have actually been keeping notes verse my usual "bash around until it works the way I want" style. Let me know what you all run into. I will get the tutorial up, I just don't want lots of people making edits based on the tutorial only to find out that this solution literally only works for me on CM9, or have it cause a ton of other issues I wasn't prepared for.

So please, if you do download the new version then give me a quick note as to whether it works for you a few days from now after it is confirmed to be working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] boostmx:
Thanks OP! I'll give this a spin now and let you know if it works. :good:

UPDATE: Flashed this on CWM, cleared data the first time around and had no luck. So I just cleared cache, data, and rebooted the phone the second time around, then accessed the play store, and so far so good. Apps that were incompatible before are coming up and installing no problems.

Thanx again !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blindfold_NL:
I just updated to a new ROM with the 3.713 Play Store, so I used the new files and everything appears to be working fine.

I hadn't actually checked the Google play version when I upgraded to my new ROM, so I had replaced the files with the old 3.519 changed files I still had from previous time and this caused errors when trying to install applications from Play store.

So for the people that have commented in this thread that they have problems with apps not installing: after replacing the apk's with the updated files: Please check if the store versions match, or this might be the cause.

I'll keep testing these latest files, but until now, no issues at all.

SO, I put the old screen back in, turned it on, Motorola Logo again and the then the screen dims to where you can hardly see what's there, but it goes through the boot process.
