Yes (with backups I found in temp directory on my computer).

No, there were no errors, except I think it did not reboot completly, so I rebooted manually and wiped Dalivik and cache.

I'm gonna give it a second try and keep you informed. Thanks.

What I did :

- restored original Phonesky.apk and GoogleServicesFramework.apk to /system/app and original build.prop with 240 DPI (there's a ^M in build.prop pushed by Google Play DPI Fix Tool for the property ro.sf.lcd_density=160^M)

- rebooted in recovery and wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache

- rebooted

- launched Google Play

- added my Google account (email and password)

- saw my apps : everything is OK, 37 apps listed

- ran your tool v1.0a with default values (240 and 240), Press OK as required (I see a force close before reboot)

- entered recovery and wiped cache partition and Dalvik cache

- rebooted

- saw Force close on com.google.process.gapps 4 or 5 times

- launched Google Play

- added my Google account (email and password), WHICH FAILS (tried twice)

Thanks

Downloaded and used.

On The first phase of installation I got the "Error Hit" screen, but continued.

When finished, I did a dalviK and cache wipe. Rebooted and tried using google play.

The first time it gave me a "Error retrieving information from server [RH-01]", i tried again and it loaded without problems.

Just in case, I used the 240 dpi cfg for both (google market and cel)

I rebooted and recheck my gmail (in case sync issues) and loaded google play (in case any other issue). Both worked ' A-Ok'.

Thanks!

I'd like to help you guys in anyway that I can. Which gapps version does your touchpad use? does it have a special build, or is it the default one?

Gotta know what I'm up against. I'm really unsure why it would only NOT work when reset for the touchpad. Perplexing.

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

For CM9 ICS 4.0.4 I believe the GApps pkg is 04/29/2012. I haven't loaded CM10 yet so I'm not sure what the JB 4.1/4.2 GApps is.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Have you guys tried to instead flash a pre-modded gapps to see if that works? most other people have made pre-modded gapps, and that could be a good start. If not I could always bake out one.
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Haven't tried a pre-modded one yet. As far as I'm aware there is no 4.2.x rom for the Touchpad. From what I'm reading apparently the TP hasn't even received a working 3.0 kernal yet. I believe the rom I'm using is based off of or is cm10 so I'm using the gapps version for 4.1.x android which I think is the November 2012 gapps version from CM since the one in december 2012 is for 4.2.x. Also I'm using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1811480 for the rom.

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

If that's for the TP users our market is 160 not 240 (file description says 240). If it was for someone else disregard this comment. I could be mistaken though.

So this worked for about 1 week, today market is broken again. :(
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Something is seriously wrong somewhere, I'll be reviewing the code, and I'll get back to you guys soon enough.
[Android Software Development] kolyan:
I think new market was released today so it overwrote the whole thing
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Try Repatching with the Market Fixer, See if it fixes it :x

EDIT: You're right on that one, 3.10.14 just rolled out, so your Play Stores is being overwritten and replaced. Someone could test if the market fixer works fine with this new version
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Yeah that's what I'm thinking because I had to accept google terms again. I'm going to rerun the program in a minute.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

Presently getting server error [RH-01] but I'll keep playing with it and let you know since repeatedly clicking retry doesn't work right now like it used to.

deleted google account, reran the program, booted into recovery wiped dal/cache, rebooted, cleared services and market, rebooted, put my google account back on, google synced and I had 2 update so I was like yay it works! Then went and updated them and saw it doesn't work. So yeah..:(

I guess I'll just use changelog droid to keep track of when there are updates and restore dpi, update, and go back until a fix is found....stupid google I still don't see why they don't allow any dpi for the market, makes no sense.
[Android Software Development] hello00:
nice job. didnt try it out but will do as soon as you make it work for the newest google play
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Okay.....so now it works?? I didn't do anything to my phone after yesterday's post. Didn't rerun the app and now I wake up and check the market and it works again. It showed all my apps on the app list. I clicked on ebuddy and it showed the black bar, and then the black bar went away. Very strange. It works again that's all that matters. I double checked to make sure I was running 200 dpi still and I was. Very odd..
[Android Software Development] kolyan:
Android been around for years now, I wonder why this DPI is still an issue. The only ROM that successfully "fixed" this is PA. With every other ROM it works for a bit and then stops. Unfortunately PA is not CM based anymore.....
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
... Might be coz the Framework is still patched.

PA Runs it per app, much like X-ploded frramework (I think that's what it's called). That's why it doesn't affect the market.
[Android Software Development] kolyan:
If you mean Xposed, that also doesnt work....i tried.
[Android Software Development] strifej:
Xposed doesn't work for me either. I tried both the 240dpi play store module and the Per-App module (set play store to 160dpi), but doesn't give me missing apps. k9 mail is missing from my nexus 7.

This framework patcher works.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] kolyan:
Yep, I tried those 2. Their DPI changing method is different from PA and doesn't work on market. It changes DPI second after market gets launched not before, so no matter what DPI you set, market goes by system DPI

Meanwhile, I am getting used to 320 :) made icons smaller, using smaller font, etc.
[Android Software Development] F4M0U569:
It says GSF cannot be pulled from system/apps. I checked and it is there. I have root acces for apps and adb, android debbuging is on etc.Any help?
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Got ambitious/bored so I decided to try changing the DPI on my HP Touchpad again thinking even if it didn't work I could just use another program to track updates for me and revert back when enough changes/significant changes came about. Just reran the program, did all the stuff, and BAM it works on the Touchpad now...wtf confusing crap happening today lol

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

I have the HTC DNA and was wondering what the default settings are for the play store? The phone's dpi is 480 stock but your app doesn't show that as an option. I'm wondering if it has the same sort of circumvention that this app provides by setting 320 dpi for the app store while actually having it at 480? If not then I wouldn't be able to use your app to set it back to defaults.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
@F4M0U569 Possibly something to do with your adb drivers and pulling from your phone. Can you double check that ADB interface is shown in Device Manager?

@Chevyguy85 Lol. That's so weird. I think you may have been affected by the new play store, that updated it and overwrote all my changes that the app does. Good thing it's working though :3

@KyJelly69 I was unaware that they added a new stock DPI for the DNA. I think you could get away with setting the market to 320. It shouldn't limit the apps available to you.

If it doesn't work, you can always revert back to the defaults.

Sorry for lack of response guys, busy busy schedule over here. Even newer releases are taking a slight back seat for a while.
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
yeah it doesn't work anymore it unfixed itself the next day I think, or even later that day haha..It doesn't work on my phone right now either but I went to 10.1 and the newer market. I don't remember from the previous posts from everyone else if this plays nice with the JB 4.2 market or not. I need to reflash since for some reason I can't send/receive mms :(
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Re: [TOOL] Google Play DPI Fix (Custom DPI, Modded GSF, GB, ICS, JB) - v1.2a (7/2/13)

Okay I don't know if my devices (Inspire4g and hp touchpad) are screwing with me or not but I changed the dpi via build prop without using the program and neither say error. Did this on recently clean flashes, did goggle finally "fix" the market or is it slow to screw me over?

Coming to you live via my HP TouchDroid
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
That's really interesting, do let me know how it goes, or if it comes back.

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

Will do. Running cm10.1 Feb 21 2013 on my Inspire btw, haven't seen anything about either rom modifying market to allow dpi change either.

Coming to you live via my HP TouchDroid

*edit*

Well phone is down I woke up and went to market and had to accept whatever it is I have to accept and that was a bad sign. Checked my apps and I'm down to 35 instead of 50 something. Yep it was just teasing me. Touchpad hasn't changed yet though.
[Android Software Development] skubi07:
On Galaxy S Advance it doesn't works. App says ewerything is ok, but its only changed dpi on phone and still lot of apps is unsuported.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Newest version of the Play Store market may have broken something, I'm still in the midst of checking out if this fix still works.
[Android Software Development] xtonda:
Thanks for this nice tool.

I managed to make it working on my Samsung Galaxy Note with recently released Android 4.1.2. Since /system/app/Phonesky.app is only symlink to somewhere else it needed some manual file moving but finally it worked. But only for a while until I received new store app 3.10.14 (original was 3.10.10).

After while of playing with apktool and deleting Play and GSF data I made it working again with Play version 3.10.14, but another update will break it again. Any idea how to prevent Play from updating?

Also some more manual control in your tool would be nice, i.e. manually specifying path to Play apk including file located on PC.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Good to hear that it's working for you.

I'm not too sure how to stop it from updating, or how to inform the user when their play store has been reverted back, that's more along the lines of in app rather than the approach I'm taking.

In terms of Manual control, I'm looking to extend the functionality of the app, with several changes (including manually patching files on desktop) as one of the options.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions :)

I tried using this on rooted GT-I9100, 4.1.2, Jeboo kernel and it wouldnt work for me, It was telling me the GoogleServiceFramework.apk was missing but when i looked it was there in the right place, any ideas?
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
I'm starting to suspect that some devices require root to pull files from /system.

Can you double check that the naming is correct, and let me know if you have knowledge working in Adb, if so I'll ask for your assistance in debugging.

Thanks
[Android Software Development] runkle6:
edit: deleted. it works. thx again
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
For those getting the GSF Pull error, try running the attached file, and tell me what it returns.

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] Toichat:
Error Level: 1

Returned Information:

remote object '/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk' does not exist.

Running on a rooted one x, shows up with the adb devices command so I'm assuming it's all connected properly. Downloading the latest adb files though, as I'm being told my current version is out of date. Will report back if updating changes anything.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Thx for the info.

Unlikely, if not it would return an "error:device not found" instead.

This just means that it can connect to your phone just fine, but for some reason or rather, it's unable to pull anything out from system. It may have everything to do with permissions and root access however.

Though just to make sure, the file does exist in /system/app yes?
[Android Software Development] Toichat:
Yeah, everything's where it should be.

edit: can't connect to the phone through adb when it's powered on though, so it looks like it may be permissions related. I'm looking into it now, not used adb before so learning as I go.

edit 2: trying other commands, nothing seems to be able to connect to the phone, so I'm thinking it's probably a driver issue in my case at least. Probably won't be much help to you until I can connect to it properly :s
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
I just uploaded a new version, v1.2b. Give that a shot and tell me how it goes.
[Android Software Development] Toichat:
Same error as before unfortunately. Remounts system as readable/writeable then fails on the pull command :s
[Android Software Development] scar45:
This could be related to an issue that I posted a while back, specifically, if you have an Android emulator device setup. Today I was reminded of the issue, as I had an emulator listed in 'adb devices' (although it was 'offline'). Hamsteyr, I was noting that a possible fix would be to use the ' -d' switch when issuing ADB commands to force them to be directed towards a device, thus ignoring the connected emulator.

Not sure if it's related to the issue that Toichat posted (side Q - Toichat, do you have an Android emulator setup, or appearing in 'adb devices'?), but I hope that it helps in some way :)
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Ah yes, you reminded me of that. I have yet to implement it though. Have been quite busy as of late. I should throw that in in the next major release.

On that note then, are you running any emulators of sorts, Toichat?
[Android Software Development] Toichat:
No emulators running afaik, but I've tried running other commands 'adb logcat' for example, and nothing seems to be able to get files from the device. Looks like it's probably a driver issue for me at least, so not sure if I can be much use until I get that sorted out :s
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Hmm... Maybe so then :\ adb devices only returns one device then?
[Android Software Development] Toichat:
Yep

List of devices attached

HT23MW105109 recovery
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
:| The device is in recovery mode? it should be listed as just "device" and not recovery.

I've never tried my app in recovery mode, and it's not designed to work in recovery. Possibly that then?
[Android Software Development] Toichat:
It's powered off, which I think uses recovery drivers yes.

As I mentioned before, attempting to connect to the device while it's powered on hasn't worked so far, list of devices comes up with a blank.

Though I'm almost certain that's a driver error, which I'm currently trying to resolve. Apparently htc doesn't play nice with win 8 :s

Edit: Driver issues resolved, worked fine once I got it to connect while booted into the android os :)

Edit 2: Changed the DPI settings, everything seems to be running fine. Hope I didn't cause any headaches :s Thanks for the help.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Could be just a matter of Custom ROM (If any) on the device. I have experienced issues with some ROMs not showing up on adb, because of just an installed ROM.

I could be wrong though, if lets say it has worked before on Win7, but doesn't in Win8.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Even newer version of the app has been released, v1.3.

Aside from the small modifications to help smaller compatibility issues, I have addressed the issue where it stops working with the 3.10.14 update. This is because Android downloads the new update to the /data/app folder, and this takes precedence over the modified (older) one in /system/app.

The App now finds if you have an updated version of Play Store/ GSF, turns it into a system app, then patches it as per usual.

This new version should fix a lot of compatibility issues with devices that have been running for a while with updated versions of their Play Store in /data/local, instead of /system/app.

Tested to be working on my device, feedback is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

EDIT: Also added -d for interfacing with usb only devices (thx to scar45)

[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Forgot to mention that 1.3 locked up like the first version or two and I had to force it to close via task manager. Restarted program and it worked fine, just like the other versions. Not a big deal since it's an easy fix on my end just thought you'd like to know.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Locked up? in which process did it lock up? :\
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
I believe it locked up sending to the device. Which if I remember right is where it locked up before. Force close and restart works fine after that though.

Strange problems. They have never occurred to me, so I'm a bit unsure how to emulate them.

edit: now it's showing that i have not purchased the apps that i have previously purchased.

edit: took a couple of reboots, but now they show as purchased.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
@Chevyguy85 I'm not sure what to think of anymore, except that it may be an issue with the TouchPad (Or that specific ROM of the TouchPad) instead. Possibly something to do with the device ID that it registers as in PlayStore perhaps, given that TouchPad was never meant to run Android in the first place, hence it must be emulating another device in Play Store.

I say this because on all the devices I have tried them on, I don't encounter that error anymore, so the fact that it doesn't run well on the TouchPad has be befuddled.
[Android Software Development] Chevyguy85:
Yep, and since as far as I know there has only been myself and another user in here with the touchpad it's hard to tell if it's just me or the device.
