Good point but.
I have some low end apps (great apps but not much developer money) that I use and they work fine.

LCD Density
If you have changed your pixel density that will make it so certain apps can't be installed. For the odd app that wont install through the market I just download the apk from whoever has it (google it).

I have flick golf and it works perfectly.

It's not a good point at all. Programs don't have to be designed to work on dual core, they'll just use one of the cores. They do, however, have to be designed to take full use of the dual cores.

9mm plays but the graphics are all pink textures during gameplay.
Flick Golf works fine on mine.

i flashed the sb rom, but when i download apps i cannot open them. anyone else have this issue

What would the pixel density have to do with any of that? That absolutely is not true as I have the ATT version of the phone and my room mate has this version of the phone. Both are rooted and his is still stock ROM mine is listed below in my signature. My Pix density is 200 and his is stock 240. Both of our markets show as having not compatible apps for our phones such as Adobe Flash and Netflix...Yet We both have the apps on our phones just older versions. When you search them out they are there and claim to have updates but will not let you install. I flashed an update to my ROM just a few days ago that did a wipe and reset of the phone and after rebooting and customizing (including changing the build.prop file for density) for a short period of time I was able to search out and update Flash to version 11 and the latest Netflix. I go back after a few hours and noticed one of my apps "Make your clock" was the old version after restoring from TIBU and went to update the app and uh oh no can do, not compatible with my phone. And yet the day before I updated that very same app before TIBU restore...So your theory about density seems really thin and unless you have actual proof that this is a cause then I would keep from confusing anyone with it.

Guys, I don't think it is a question of the app(s) working fine. It is the fact that even if you have an older version of the app(s) working and there is an update is it:
1. Listed in your Market?
2. If not listed in your Market can you search and find it?
3. Once the App(s) in question is located is it listed as update or downloadable?
If all of these factors match then why is it happening this way and what is preventing from downloading these files to the phone!

This seems to be an ongoing issue across the board with most phones...I will see if I can research and find some results to post.

I find it interesting that PD was the only new change I had made prior to my new problem of incompatibility.
So far these are the apps that no longer are compatible:
Picasa Tool
Firefox Beta
Moboplayer
Adobe Photoshop Express
Best Buy
Maxthon Browser
I tried resetting my PD back to stock, but that didn't help.

So that I am clear about all that you did was PD change...Did you restore anything from backup? Or just loaded everything from the market as a fresh install?

I found this issue only when using viper rom when i was stock and now running starburst ive had no issues...

My Maps Editor doesn't work,
It used to work with my HTC EVO
I dont know if google blocked it completely now to where you can only edit maps through PC 100% of the time only but I used to be able to use it until recently.. version is 1.1.6

I bought madden on my samsung epic, and it worked perfectly, but now with my gs2, its not compatible anymore I spent $6 on that app for getting to play it 5 times lol. It doesn't show up in my market, and I checked online, and it is also listed as incompatible for epic touch 4g. blahhh

These apps were installed from the market but now cannot be updated at all.
Add to the list ttorent and the official Newegg.com app that are no longer compatible.
Again running ZedomaxEpicTouchKernel with stock ROM and a PD of 170.

It is definitely related to PD. I just reset mine to stock, but this time cleared the data from the market app. Boom, now everything is compatible again and updating perfectly.

PD is definitely the cause of some Apps not installing and being seen on this phone but what's up with the rest. I've had Apps on my epic that aren't compatible with this phone. Doesn't make any sense.

IMO Minor and welcome changes

I got mine from android central this morning. Looks good.

Subtle changes that make it much better looking.
Like the auto update default setting.
Mine updated itself overnight.

From what I understand it should work with both because it's not a theme, its just like an app which will replace /update to the new android market.

I don't have the new market yet... And I DON'T want auto update set automatically... I don't want to lose a working version of an app because the developer updated his app and broke something.

It autoupdated on my unit but, It is not showing all apps including paid apps and gives me this unit is not compatibly with certain apps. running Starburst 1.9.5

Well then uncheck the box? lol
I like it, makes it easier than having to constantly check.
Also, honestly, how often does an update break an app?
I've had it happen to me once.

Started using this a few days ago and so far so good. I like the small changes they made to it and so far all of my apps show up fine.

Works great on both of my phones. Thanks!

Yea actually worthy of use now that he removed the on screen buttons.

I do have to say it is quite laggy though.

Definitely has some bugs to work out for sure
Sent from my Epic Galaxy S2

whatever you do don't try this on our phones, the lag is so bad the epic feels like a Samsung moment trying to run ICS for real. I actually lost my whole rom cause after a reboot it would not even allow me to get past the lock screen. Had to format system and reinstall fresh, then I tried it on a fresh install to see if it had just been a conflict with something else and once again I had to rinse and repeat... it may work well on other phones but does not play nice with E4GT.

Did u have it set to default before u rebooted? Cause I've noticed on this phone if you change launchers and then reboot without setting it to default the phone won't go past the lockscreen.

[Q] Apps needed.....

Hello everyone. I am new here so I may have missed what I need so please be gentle if I did.
I am running Team D.I.R.T. Dark Light Rom. I am finding some of my GB apps don't work. First is Sprint Zone. Is there a compatible apk or not yet? Second is Life is Crime. Again says is not compatible even from GPlay. Is there a program I can install that will run my apps in compatibility mode or are they just lost apps?

Sprint zone will not work. As far as life is crime I have no idea. So I would assume they are lost.
If u mix Taco Bell hot sauce, with Ramen noodles, it taste just like poverty.

I know that in ROM's like Cyanogenmod and Deck's Reloaded, there is an app called Spare Parts which has a 'Compatibility Mode' option. You could try that. You could also try to fix permissions from the recovery menu.
Then again, if you can't even install the app to begin with, you may just be out of luck.
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand

I can install them because I have the apk. They just don't open. I will try Spare Parts to see if that works. Thanks.
Edit: That didn't work. Sprint Zone installs but Life is Crime didn't this time. Oh well maybe Sprint will get this fixed and I will contact the developers of the game for a replacement apk. Thanks for trying.

Crap like Sprint Zone I why I rooted my EVO and installed a custom ROM.

I rooted to remove junk also. For me it was Amazon,Kindle,Google Play and the majority of things put in by HTC and Sprint. Sprint Zone is the most useful of everything pre installed. Is his I manage everything about my account.

Flashaholics/themeaholics

Hi, my names Chad and im a flashaholic. It all started when I got my Sprint Galaxy Note II. After rooting and flashing my first rom there was no looking back.
I have found a daily driver and I'm not going to drop any names. Every dev involved with creating these mods and roms for this device are amazing. While performance is important, I like moding, EVERYTHING.
I would like to know what everyone else likes about flashing roms. What is important to you? Maybe some screenshots of mods you've done to your phone?
Here's my keyboard. (=

Nice job bro....
Sent from my enormous note 2 tapatalk 2 beta 4

I actually flash a lot less than I did when I have the Evo 4G. I'm more modded, but I'm mainly just changing files.
I'm running doexidezed stock MC2, Persues Kernel 3.6, with the 4-1 reboot, all mutliwindow mods. Changed the Spen detection sounds to ligh sabler, changed boot anmination to Andy's Pee On Apple, changed boot sound to Lexus ISF start up and engine rev, disable shut off animations, using only one homescreen page (no widgets), use the Trev E Mod WiFi tether beta 3.3 and folder mount.
I'm interested in the cyogenmod when it's out of alpha. I'm waiting for the mutliboot mod to get completed. It's getting closer on the international. BootManager on the Evo4G was the best app for flashaholics. You could have a daily and as many ROMs as your SD card could hold. I usually had three--barebones Sense rom, Cyogenmod (Android 2.3), and Cyogenmod (Android 4). Here and there I would have a forth or fifth to fiddle with.
The other rom I'm interested in trying out, and it's extremely early, is more of port of the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I've seen a couple screen shots, pretty sweet if you're into the mutlitwindow/mutlitask thing.
Right now, deoxidized stock meets my needs well. Nothing, other than Google Wallet, appears to be borked. And a few mods, I able to more.

My name is Jamice Welbon and I am a flashaholic I first introduced to flashing through my friend Treo Central.com he get me hooked flashing my Treo 600, 650, 700p and 710wp but soon after that treocentral.com was not cutting it for me so I tried ppc geeks. com and started flashing my touch pro 2.
I tried every windows ROM I could find and even experimented with some android. With the introduction of Windows phone and the stifled future future ROM development I knew I needed something stronger.
I went to Xda developers.com and started using Android on a regular bases. I first purchases the Samsung Epic then I tried the Epic Touch 4g and I am currently using the Galaxy Note 2. I have customized my boot animation (My Little Pony FIM), converted my phone into tablet mode, changed my font, added a hack version of Google Wallet, but I am currently using a non hack version since the Note 2 is now an official supported device. I have a hacked mod to remove the unsupported device message from Google Wallet since my device is rooted.
I am currently using a ROM which is half touch wiz and half stock Android. The dialer and contacts are stock Android. I even put a mod on my phone where I can customize the DPI for every app on my phone. I can even open up as many apps as I want and have them floating on my phone's desktop. I am fening for the Galaxy Note 3.
I am currently thinking about modding my shut down screen.
I need help and that is why I am on this forum. It has affected my job and my relationships in a negative way.

I too am a flashaholic and also pretty new to the phone
Speaking of which........
I have only had one rom on this phone and i love the phone! I am currently running maks allstar rom and i am ready to try another. I was looking around and saw that there are some floating window mods now! WOOHOOOO SOLD!
I looked around and found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139684
So I assume im on MA7 with my current rom whatever that is and I need to get MC2 roms for the floating windows?
The choice between 5 roms what ever shall i do? Does anyone have any suggestions? I like bling and great sound mods and all the bells and whistles including wifi tether and lightsaber spen effects!
It seems like there are alot of different versions of this phone. I assume im in the right spot with a sprint note 2? The mackrom allstars has been working great.
Thank you much!

Flashing adventure
So i ventured off to my flashing adventure. I first tried jelly 16.0 which was pretty awesome and the flash works in regular browser which is AWESOME but it didnt seem to have floating window. I tried installing the apk switcher thingie and it didnt even show up. I found the thread for the floating multi window installed it and nothing..... I flashed the sprint zip file for it and then the phone wouldnt boot.
I installed wolfpack and i still dont have floating windows...... i am going to install the apk next and will update my progress
Ok so im supposed to have a toggle icon which i dont and waiting for answer in the rom forum. Also the flash doesnt work in the desktop version of the browser something that worked in jellie rom 16.0 =(

Im running MacksRom (Plain Jane MA7) at the moment and have multiwindow desktop mod. It's in xposed settings.

No. It's a framework work. As mentioned above, you just need install the Xposed framework APK. I've used it on a deoxidezed MA7 stock rom. MC2 is just more performance tweaks and bug fixes.

Ok i understand more but now i lost multiview
i did the installer i activated the plugins in teh installer i set the resolution on android system to 1280x800 i have rebooted and no multiview now. i cant get it back =(

Moon, check your pm's.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I finally got it worked out
I checked out the OP in jellyroms post where it talks about installing the framework. I factory reset cleared caches dalvik etc and reflashed. Once flashed i did exactly what it said minus the downloading the items because they were alread in the rom. Now i have multiwindow. I didnt mess with the DPI though only set the resolution to 1280x800 and it works. I am scared to use the DPI changer though because although it looks really super cool. I lost the multiview doing it. I even tried setting the multiview to the same dpi. the com-flash whatever file and reboot still no luck... So it does work but im in regular phone resolution which isnt bad i guess because you dont have to mess with all the apps dpis etc? the internet built in was FC'n during my mess of flashing etc.....
Any ideas or suggestions on why i lost the multiview? I would like to change the dpi at some point but i dont want to factory reset (which is what i had to eventually do to get the multiview back anyway.
Thank you for all that put up with my frantic questions.

Glad you got it up and working!
