Anyone else finding this phone is not compatible with a lot of android apps?. All the apps I purchased (about 75) were compatible with my Samsung Galaxy W. Now half of them, if not more, are not compatible with the S2X. A phone that's twice as powerful.
Is there any way of fixing this?

I realized this is main problem, thank you. DPI was set to 200 and now I reverted back to 240, many of the apps are working again. Although some apps are still not compatible

Your dpi needs to be that of a native resolution. 160 240 or 320.
Or you can use a hacked market and Google services framework which always returns a constant value for your display resolution.

The second link looks more promising. I've tried a couple and have gotten a lot of other errors not related to compatibility. So I modded my own. It has simply JUST the dpi hack nothing more nothing less.

i flashed the 2nd link, i can now see all my apps and update them (sweet!) but still missing the movies and book section of the market and the categories of apps like "top apps" and "top paid" only show like 5 apps... weird. i posted there to see what he says.
UPDATE: I can confirm the second link works perfectly. The whole market is there, all apps are there, displays all currently installed apps and able to update all apps.

I remember buying gta 3, nova 2 and modern combat on my gnexus. I updated it to gummynex 4.0.4. Now I cant find the apps on google play. Is there something on my ROM saying that my device isnt compatible?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I know it's compatible cause I've bought theese games before.. I don't understand why I can't find them anymore
Have you tried searching and installing them from the web interface?
Try this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rockstar.gta3
Thanks, but that's not the real issue. I'm wondering why I suddenly CAN'T search for ANY of theese games on my google play account any more... It's so annoying!
More than likely an issue with info in the build.prop
Compare the build.prop of your previous ROM to your current one to see what's different.

Yes, but when you clicked my link above what did it say? Did it give you the "not compatible" error?
Yeah.. Not compatible :S Why in earth would gummynex change the build prop to not support theese games? Can it be because I've changed the dpi?

You can download LCD Density Modder. This app can solve the incompatibility issues you are having. (only with paid version) I had the same problems like you. This app tricks the market into thinking you are at the rigt dpi settins.
Thanks man! Bit first I need to change it back so that google play can recognize it. Isnt 320 the right dpi? Because I STILL have the issue..
I take it that this lcd density program needs to be installed on a device that ALREADY works with google play at first hand...?

Any sort of build.prop editor should work as long as you're rooted. Change ro.sf.lcd_density to your required value. This should almost guarantee computability with JB.

Thanks. Glad to know. I didn't know Rom Toolbox could so that. And I have the Pro.
Link to the toolkit? I was unaware the 7.0(?) had been updated to support JB.
EDIT: Nevermind, didn't realized it was toolbox that was mentioned and not toolkit.
I didn't check I just did it on the off chance . Every ROM I've used ROM toolbox has always been able to change DPI where as other apps haven't. So do it anyway see what happens lol but its fine

Even if u break down to the lowest???
It should at 196.
Can someone post the steps to get Google play store to find certain apps when it doesn't recognize my device because I have the DPI set low? I remember when I was on aokp it had the steps built into the ROM but I don't remember how. Play store either doesn't show what I was searching for or it says device not compatible. Also what is the lowest you can set it before the play store can't recognize it? Thanks!

Change dpi, reboot, clear market cache, enter market, accept.
As far as dpi for market, depends on what you consider working. As you move away from stock, you start having different things happening like movies+tv disappearing or apps being not supported. You have to mess around since no one has yet posted a list of trial and errors. To get around the apps issue, download the modified market app. It will remove the app restriction, but be careful you don't try to install something you shouldn't.
Download LCD modder pro. It gives you the option to download modded market. Works great for me
I use rom toolbox pro to change dpi, reboot, download 2 files from lcd modder pro, install and reboot. You might see a bunch of things fc while its prepping to reboot but its fine

Haha! I know the feeling!!! Just a quick note!
When you replace the files. Delete the app cache for the market and Google services framework via settings then flash the modded market. I'm gonna look into Google services framework as well and see what role that gas in market compatibility. Also after replacing files, reboot to recovery and clear bother cache partition and dalvik cache. That should help.

Did you change the DPI before adding the files? or did you change the files then change DPI and then reboot? It being JB shouldnt really matter as the android market is pretty universal as GB market works on ICS and etc. However they may have changed it.
Can you provide an exact step by step as to what you did?

If you are rooted, you can achieve this by editing a line in your build.prop
Screen density, i believe--- change it from 320 to 160, reboot, and clear your Play data and voila, your phone now thinks its a tablet.
I haven't tried this out, myself, but if you have any issues, just change the value back to what it was originally, and clear the market data again.
This is why im hoping someone ports paranoid over

I tried to install an .Apk file for the tablet version of sketchbook pro. And while it worked the screen only showed the very middle of the window. So if there was a way to get the app to resize itself without changing the build.prop file that would be nice too. I'm not rooted either.

You can edit build.prop or download an app that will do it for you. For the least amount of headaches you should download the modified version of the play store which will allow you to have various densities with having to wipe Play Store data.

why exactly would that happen?
I want to change it to 260 ppi but I'm going to have problems with google store. I stil have not found a modded google play for 3.10.9
Playstore compatible ppi are:
ldpi low-density (ldpi) screens (~120dpi)
mdpi medium-density (mdpi) screens (~160dpi).
hdpi high-density (hdpi) screens (~240dpi).
xhdpi extra high-density (xhdpi) screens (~320dpi).
So go for 240 if you want the stock playstore working
It is so perfect the way it is! Why would you want to change it? That was actually one of the first things I noticed. I was like, "Yay! I don't need to mess with build.prop."
I tired changing my dpi to 240 and for some reason i can't get past the google logo now. think i will have to sideload a stock img to fix.

Yeah. It happened to me. There is no way.
I'm running 200 dpi and I haven't encountered any compatibility issues with the Play Store or any other apps.
However, after a couple hours, I have to relog into the Amazon app store. Not sure if this is dpi related (pretty sure it isn't).
Are y'all using an app to change dpi or manually editing the build.prop. I'd definitely recommend the latter to avoid any issues.
