When i lower my dpi, many apps dont show up or show up as incompatible, is there a way to force these apps to show up / download / update?
Settings - applications - all
Force stop and clear cache and data on Google play store and Google services framework.
Change dpi to 240 and reboot.
Open play store (so it sees correct dpi on first load).
Change dpi to whatever and reboot.

It's a shame that's the only way.

JB Market not showing me all my installed apps and not showing other app eligible for download or don’t pull up when searching market. Like facebook
Anyone?
Did you change the screen DPI or are using a MOD with a smaller Navbar?
Normally run 260..But I set it back to 320 every now and than to check for updates. and even at 320 apps dont show.Even after rebooting and clearing the Goodgle Play data and cache. No nav mods.. I was running JellyBelly 3.7. I love the JB roms but hate side loading apks to get the apps I want
When I first setup the rom (320dpi) apps show on the market..And after a few days my Installed apps in google play count gets lower and lower (260dpi). Which is fine ,if when i went back to 320 those apps would come back and if i could download apps they were not compatiable at 260 at 320...Wish LCD Modder Pro would get updated then I'd be fine.
So I am able to change DPI and screen resolutions for apps but there are many apps that I cannot get into tablet mode. So far I can only get gmail and my settings. I tried many different DPI's and resolutions for contacts, youtube.... is there a list of apps anywhere that this can be done or am I missing something completely? Such as downloading the tablet version or are my settings just wrong?

In the Xposed app settings, there is an option for Screen (dp). Usually setting it to higher resolution will make the app switch to tablet mode (800x1280 usually). For some app, you need to set the dpi of Play Store, forced stop, clear data and then install the app again to get the tablet version. I did this to get the tablet layout of Flipboard.
How to install the Xposed Framework and Use it ( Big Thanks to Rovo 89 for introducing this )
If u want to know what exactly this is about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
For the framework:
Download XposedInstaller.apk and install it ( download below)
Launch the Xposed Installer and click on "Install/Update"
Reboot
Done!
For any modifications/modules you want to install:
Download <module>.apk and install it ( first install the app settings)
Launch the Xposed Installer and go to the "Modules" tab (you will also get there if you click on the notification warning you that the module is not enabled yet)
Enable the module by checking the checkbox
Reboot
Done!
Instructions for using modules :
Starting with Gmail
At this point i believe u have rebooted your phone after installing app settings and before that the Xposed installer itself
Open app settings and search for Gmail.
To get the kind of result displayed below
1. Change Screen(dp) settings to preferably 600*1024
2. Change font scale to 80 otherwise the dual panel will look messed up.
3. I would suggest u change the orientation to always landscape - worked best for me - depends on your liking
press the save button on the right top corner (then press yes) and check your newly designed gmail app right away
You can tinker with the settings and change it to your liking
Now lets move on to System Settings menu. (Dual panel!)( If u dont use Liquid smooth or AOKP)
search for settings in App settings
in the settings menu
Change DPI to 160
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600
and font scale to 130 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE )
Now save and check it out!
For the same thing - But If u use LiquidSmooth or AOKP or PA or anything that already allows you to force dual panel )
Search for force dual panel in your system settings menu and check it.
Then go to app settings -> settings -> and then
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Save and enjoy!
Now one last example for the PLAY STORE
Search for playstore in the app settings list and enter it.
Change DPI to 160
Font Scale to 110
Screen(dp) to 1000*1600 ( ORIENTATION PREFERABLY ALWAYS LANDSCAPE - YOUR CHOICE - WORKS BOTH WAYS )
Additional Settings for each app:
1. u can check fulscreen to disable statusbar in that app
2. Check screen on to change display timeout to never!( it will always stay on in that ap
3. go to locale settings and select the language u want to display it in!
I will update this thread with links to more modules once the repo is up. At the time it is down.
Well nothing new.
It's for those who newbies who have not found a proper and easily explained guide for xposed frameworks yet!

Why not 240 for camera and FM radio if you've changed DPI and are on stock. YouTube, calendar have tablet versions some work well, others are interesting, set auto rotate for stock gallery. The over lockscreen setting can be used for clock app, calculator, torch app anything that personal info can't be taken from but might be needed quickly or by a friend etc also on the selected app in the app settings if you tap menu you can launch the app without having to go home and tap it

Yeah exactly. Users can change and tinker as they want. This was just to get them used to Xposed modules . I will add links to a few more modules in a while.

I have been trying for a while to get the right per app dpi settings with Songza to invoke the tablet display, but it seems like every combination I try I get the app to force close.
I'm not sure if I need to install a specific tablet version of the application from the market or if I can make the right DPI changes in App Settings.
I've included in screenshot of the tablet mode as a reference. Any help would be appreciated!
Every once in a while on my non rooted 2nd get box the app store will change completely to a grid layout and it will not allow me to download any new apps and most of the amazon apps do not work like netflix. I end up having to do a full system restore everytime this happens. Is there a better way to fix this?
