I think I didn't explain myself correctly. I tried on a fresh install with this gapps (which have the latest play store): http://www.mediafire.com/?oaat2e5a939a2vf ( found them on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1536724) . I tried even before adding my google account.

Before that gapps, I tried with latest gapps from goo.im, but because is a very old package, the play store gets updated and then I have 2 packages (the original and the update), both named Vending.....more trouble with the same error at the end.

Could it be that Vending.apk and Phonesky.apk have differentes signatures?

Thanks for the help, and if there's any debugging I can do on this side, just let me know.
[Android Software Development] scar45:
I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for this! It worked perfectly for me. To confirm my setup, I'm on [ROM][4.2.1][AOKP/CM] Unofficial Vanilla RootBox [02/08][v3.6][Per-App-DPI][PIE] for the Note 2 LTE, using standard/latest JB GAPPS from Goo.IM.

Lowering the DPI is almost crucial on a device such as the Note 2 with its huge screen. I never felt fully comfortable installing (and tracking) modded APKs, so to be able to use this is a refreshing treat. I did have a bit of feedback/experiences to share though:

I have an Android emulator installed, and ADB picks it up. Therefore, when the DPI Modding App tries to access my device, it fails (it should be updated to use the '-d' switch to force connect to a device)

After setup told me to click OK to reboot to recovery, the device did so successfully, but the Modding App threw an error about the device not being connected, and ended with "Failed". This is obviously not a problem, but maybe you could better account for the device disconnection after the process is complete (or, was I supposed to leave it plugged in throughout the reboot to recovery process?).

After wiping Cache + Dalvik Cache, the Play Store ran again (I didn't have to touch my pre-configged Google account) however my Apps were missing. I just waited a few and also killed the Play Store app (from Recents), then they all popped up again

After everything is said and done, it appears to be working beautifully. Apps like NFS: Most Wanted show up in the Play Store and are installable on my Note 2. Now, whenever my ROM gets an update, I can just plug in, run this Windows app, and I'm good to go. It also works nicely alongside the Xposed Framework + App Settings module.

Huge thanks again!
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
@scar45, thanks for the feedback, appreciated :) Kinda weird about the 2nd one, and I didn't know it messes up with Android emulator, I supposed I accounted only for people with simple setups with single devices. I will be fixing these in the future.

After running play store, seems that you have to manually kill it, and maybe restart the device for them to show up again, not much I can do on behalf of that. :<

No problems.

I'll be a bit slow this week with any updates, because it's Chinese New Year... and well, I celebrate it :P I'll be out most of the time so nothing much will happen for maybe a week or two.

Thanks, and don't stops with suggestions and feedbacks, as well as troubleshooting. I can still help with those on mobile.
[Android Software Development] scar45:
No worries at all man! All of the stuff I said above doesn't hinder the actual functioning of the app, so none of it is a rush by any means. Enjoy the Chinese New Year, and I'll surely be watching this thread (patiently)! Cheers!

Re: [TOOL] Google Play DPI Fix (Custom DPI, Modded GSF, GB, ICS, JB) - v1.2a (7/2/13)

I ran the latest version, it changed the DPI to 175 like I wanted but in getting a lot of apps in the market saying my device is not compatible, is anyone else getting this?

[Android Software Development] runkle6:

thx, oppen
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
It'll work fine :)
[Android Software Development] runkle6:
doesn't work. my "lost" apps are still missing in the app store :(

[Android Software Development] st0nedpenguin:
For anybody else having issues with missing apps, there's an Xposed plugin that forces the play store to think your device is running 240 DPI so all the apps are there, then you can use this tool to change DPI and everything works great.
[Android Software Development] scar45:
I've tried out this module, and unfortunately, I still had Google Play deny certain apps for me. It appeared to work at first, but after a few days to a week, new apps (such as NFS: Most Wanted) were not showing up on my device (Note 2 LTE). rovo89 who made the module also claimed that it may not work 100%.

This is why I really like the app that hamsteyr has developed, as it uses my existing APKs and is a one-click solution. Shame that we have to worry about this DPI stuff all together, but I don't see Google changing their policy on DPI restrictions any time (soon at least).

If there's something I missed about the 240dpi Xposed Module, then feel free to correct me, as I'm just speaking from my own experience with it.

Cheers!

@oppen Try this:

-Go into Settings -> Apps and Force Close and Clear Data for both Google Play Store and Google Services Framework

-Remove your Google Account

thanks for the fast replay i dont know how to change adb to apps but this what i see on development

i dont know if i need to check any of this options i dont know what is it for
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
What device are you using, and what android version?

If you have Superuser (and not SuperSU) check the logs to see if it's denying adb superuser access.

I know that superuser doesn't play well with adb root access

Just try checking the logs as well, for supersu, to see if it's being denied access

I'll try and see what else it could be

Good to know it's just me screwing it up then. I guess I'll have to keep playing with it since you got it to work. What rom are you running?

Sent from hp touchdroid
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
@seen_bawl I know exactly what is going on. Your device doesn't have a /sdcard folder (that I use to push in temporary files). Because of this it's hitting an error.

I'll be posting up a fix soon, but I can't do so right now since I'm on Vacation (on my tablet) and won't be back till tomorrow. I'll find a fix around that.

In the meantime, you can try to push the new files into the device yourself, by putting it in the sdcard, and moving it to the /system folder.

-Force Close Play Store and services Framework

-Clear data for Play store and Framework

-Delete existing playstore and Services framework (Phonesky.apk / GoogleServicesFramework.apk)

-Replace with the new Phonesky.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk.

-Reboot device into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik-cache
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
@seen_bawl can you double check for me if the /sdcard directory exists on your device?
[Android Software Development] Raverrevolution:
I apologize, I replied too soon. After it installed everything seemed okay. I downloaded titanium backup key from the store fine, and then when I tried to download root explorer it would shoot back a 942 error. The only way to get rid of that was to clear out data and cache, reset and clear caches in recovery. And once I rebooted the market didn't fully show.

I tried the instructions to remove the Google account and reinstall and it never got back to normal.

I was really excited to finally have a solution for this and get to run it in its native dpi, but false alarm. :(

I'm running the latest CM10 experimental.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
There's nothing that would overwrite the play store or framework APK is there?

I can't think of any reason why it would revert back though :< did you run it over a fresh install?
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Yeah I've tried clean installs, then doing everything, and then creating an account like the instructions say. The apps don't all list the first time after doing it on either device I own, or as stated in the op on quite a few devices (white screen when you go to my apps). Closing and then restarting the market is needed and then for some reason all the apps will show, as long as they aren't incompatible. My go to app in the market to see if the compatibility error comes up is ebuddy since that app I guess hates dpi changes that don't match the market or whatever. I wish google would just allow all dpis on devices. LCD Density pro used to work before the market was updated sometime last year but the dev abandoned that app and no longer answers emails. So at one point it was possible to change the dpi on our touchpads, just not anymore...stupid market rules lol
[Android Software Development] Raverrevolution:
Actually yeah I did. I finally got around to installing CM10 with the new moboot and all and remembered your tool. I applied it first thing after the install so it was as fresh as possible. It's no biggie as I can still run the tablet in 160dpi and get everything working again.

It wasn't that the market was completely not working, but once I cleared data and cache all around the market wouldn't show all apps.

---------- Post added at 09:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

132dpi is such a sweet spot too. The 120 default is obnoxiously too big in my eyes and 160 is okay, but lags out the system a hair and the leftmost and rightmost parts of the screen look ugly in settings.

Bahh, I'm sure there'll be a good solution for it at one point.

Re: [TOOL] Google Play DPI Fix (Custom DPI, Modded GSF, GB, ICS, JB) - v1.2a (7/2/13)

I'm optimistically hoping this will mature to the point where the hp TouchPad can use this app to get to a solid 132dpi error free. I use 160 but hope at some point whether CM9 or CM10 this will work. Keeping my fingers crossed...
[RAZR i Android Development] mattlgroff:
Since the ICS root files fail to work on Jellybean, needed to work with new files to make it work. This is based off the open-source ChainsDD Superuser 3.2 (RC) x86 version, with an update-binary from the RAZR i to make sure it flashes.

On top of this, I added a live to remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. This is because whenever the phone booted, it removed CWM, and thats definitely not something we wanted it to do! So all is well. This file (RAZRiRoot2.zip) is included in the new Jellybean Vodafone (FR) Homemade fastboot of mine also. Its less automated for rooting since the boot.img method is weird with Windows drivers...

Anyway, here we go.

Requirement(s):

Unlocked Bootloader on Jellybean

Download:

http://batakang.com/ftp/RAZRi/RootUtility/RAZRiRoot2.zip

Instructions:

Flash this in CWM to root any Jellybean RAZR i firmware.

[RAZR i Android Development] tatazeuz:
I have stock recovery. How can i put CWM in my phone? The flasher tool doesnt seem to work now...
[RAZR i Android Development] Charlie.igg:
Same here for me

Edit - I was able after some trial and error to boot into CWM using ADB and flash this. The problem is that CWM is lost and wont work after I reboot to bootloader/normal powerup. If I want to ever boot into CWM 'on-the-go' it is now impossible. Each time i wish to use CWM i have to plug in and re-flash using ADB. Flippin' weird if you ask me.
[RAZR i Android Development] batwingnz:
What adb commands did you use?
[RAZR i Android Development] mattlgroff:
The flash tool required root. Fastboot it yourself :)
[RAZR i Android Development] batwingnz:
After fastboot flash recovery cwm.img, how do we boot it? For me it flashes without error then boots to stock recovery.
[RAZR i Android Development] mattlgroff:
You choose Recovery from fastboot, then flash the RAZRiRoot2.zip.

If you boot normally then it will wipe CWM, since the root zip never ran to remove the install-recovery.sh
[RAZR i Android Development] oroszms:
flash CWM + reroot

I have used:

from windows cmd, with USB debugging on

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery-razri-tryAtouch.img

fastboot.exe reboot-bootloader

selected recovery and installed the RAZRiRoot2.zip from external storage card.

now rebooted and my Jelly Bean is rooted and CWM remained the recovery :)
[RAZR i Android Development] fattymcdirty:
is there any way to get supersu working instead of superuser app? some apps are only working with supersu somehow... e.g. light manager.. light manager needs root to work with some apps, but the superuser app does never recognize light manager attempts.... any idea?

Yes you can update via OTA first. It doesn't matter if you unlock before or after it. But root after OTA with RAZR I Root 2 through cwm.

[RAZR i Android Development] cupioscire:
AW: RAZR i Root 2 (Jellybean 4.1.2)

The zip file of this thread is only for rooting. To unlock you need adb and fastboot software/driver on your PC. I think you can download this from the unlock thread.

Yes root without unlocked bootloader only work with the old ICS version ( 31002)

Probably I will update to Jelly via OTA, wait a little more time (to see if the phone came working well and wait for a rooting tool wihout bootloader unlocked). When you talk about CWM, it´s just install this apllication after unlock boot? So I go to an option like LOAD ROM or something and select the zip file?
[RAZR i Android Development] cupioscire:
AW: RAZR i Root 2 (Jellybean 4.1.2)

No I mean clockworkmod recovery, a custom recovery which allows you to backup your ROM and install custom ROMs and stuff like this. To install cwm on RAZR I you have to flash a cwm.img via fastboot.

I don't know if rom-manager app support RAZR i, but i don't think so.

And I don't think that there will be a rooting tool for unlocked bootloaders for jelly bean.

[RAZR i Android Development] WendelSchelhan:
Thanks! My phone actually is a Optimus L7, wich LG haven´t unlocked the bootloader, so I heard about recovery, custom recovery, Clockworkmod and other stuffs, but I have no clever idea of what are these tings (xda video was right, i´m a noob.. haha). Just a few more questions:

1- Fastboot is what we got after pressing the power button with Volume- button, right? It´s like a normal PC bios. How can I use this menu? Look like they are too small to touch, so something like Volume+ to Enter and Volume- to navigate in the options.

2- I need CWM to root, or can I use Fastboot?

3- To flash CWM (or root, if possible) in Fastboot I need to use the computer or I can flash the files in the SD card only using the cell phone?
[RAZR i Android Development] Hazou:
1. Ye, it is the screen after pressing the power and volume buttons. U can only control it with the phones real buttons. The touchscreen doesnt work in that state. Fastboot is a part of the bootloader. The bootloader is like the PC Bios. Fastboot is the part that let us flash fastboot compatible files to the phone. like recoverys (cwm) or whole roms (in an system.img), but be carefull with it and only try the flashing methodes that work.

2. To root u need cwm. For this phone there is no way to get root without cwm. (But on firmware .32 u can without cwm)

3. To get cwm on your phone. The first thing is to unlock your bootloader by the official way. Than flash the cwm image. All is done with help off a pc. After u flashed cwm u can get root with using the sdcard and the recovery.
[RAZR i Android Development] WendelSchelhan:
Ok. So i must extract the cwm .img file on the SD card and then restart the phone on fastboot mode. I can´t see on the videos what´s the options avaiable and what should I select to install the cwm. I imagine that if I choose the correct option, the fastboot will detect the image file on the SD, so what should I do? (Sorry about it guys, I´m just antecipating things to buy the phone)

And.. What will happen when I´ve installed CWM? It will replace the fastboot screen?
[RAZR i Android Development] Hazou:
No, you dont put the cwm.img that you downloaded on the sdcard. With a motorola phone you can only flash recoverys (cwm.img) by fastboot. It is not a htc phone.

First unlock your device. There is a great thread about that, that covers all the steps. When you have managed that you connect your phone with usb to your pc. Restart the phone in fastboot mode and flash from a commandprompt on your pc the cwm.img. Now put the root.zip (the zip file with the root files in it) on your sdcard and flash it through cwm.

The exact steps on how to do all those things can be found in the forums. I cant send the correct links from my tablet but u need those threads (dont know the names correctly):

1. Unlock the bootloader razr i

2. Cwm for razri

3. For ics the root.zip somewhere on this forum. If u are on jb than the razri2root.zip or something like that.

CWM wont replace fastboot. It replaces the recovery on your phone.

It is not a problem to ask all those questions, we help people where it is possible. But with a bit of own research on the razri forums u would know all those steps already ;) If it is your first android phone, do a little googling about fastboot, recoverys, bootloaders, roms and android offcourse. This is nessesary i think if u want to do more with your phone than the company lets you ;)

Do a little research and if u have some more questions, dont hesitate to ask them, even if they can be found quit easily :P
[RAZR i Android Development] WendelSchelhan:
Hey,

I tried to do some search on another threads and Google and Iooks like I´ve finally know exactly what do to. There´s really a bootloader unlock thread, and the procedure it´s really easy to do. Most of the questions were focused on install de CWM and after this root using them.

So, I saw this: http://www.android.gs/install-cwm-recovery-on-motorola-razr-i/ , and looking for CWM pictures, looks like when I select recovery on fastboot, I´ll found this: http://dottech.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ClockworkMod.png , and I must select to Install the zip of the sdcard or something else, that I will transfer from the PC (the Root.zip file, or Root2, depends).

I wanna thank you guys for patience and helping. My phone it´s a LG p700, and doesn´t have bootloader unlocked (so, no CWM, Cyanogen, and all those things).. Because of this the most difficult thing I´ve done on a Android phone was flash a new firmware (and on the middle of the procedure replace system.img.ext4 of the AppData KDZ folder) to get it rooted..
