The initial play store screen shows only apps, magazines, and music.
Everything else seems to be fine.

I think what he means is that certain apps, in the store, will not show up as compatible for your phone based on the density you select. This is true even if your phone is actually compatible with it.

I used texdroider dpi worked good with jmt

It's the lcd. Change it back to 240, or downgrade to a 2.x.x market.

Yup, that's the problem. One of the few negative effects of changing lcd density along with the offset dialer

Screen DPI?

I downloaded an app that changes the screen dpi. I have it set to 180 dpi now. Can anything bad come out of doing this?
Is this a good dpi, or is there something better?

It can cause issues with Google play, some apps might give you an error saying the device isn't compatible.

But it wont cause any physical damage?
If you want to change DPI I recommend you try Paranoid Android. It's a pretty solid ICS rom and you change between phone, tablet, or a hybrid UI and change the DPI accordingly.

LCD Density app?

I'm on Jedi Mind Tricks ported rom. Anyone know of a compatible density app? Modder won't boot thus far. Any help or suggestions fam?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
Download play store and framework from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639213
Then use Rom Toolbox to change your lcd density.
I've never been able to boot after using lcd modder even with darkside.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Even better, use root explorer to open build.prop. scroll until you see the density: 240. Change it from there and save, reboot. Just keep in mind your phone may not boot regardless of how small of a difference you make so always nandroid first

I used ROM toolbox and it works like charm.. I set it to 200 and also play store will display apps incompatible , to fix this use LCD density modder and click on fix market issues and install it..then u r ready to go.

[Q] Xposed Per app DPI not working?

I've installed and updated Xposed framework, and Xposed App Settings mod and the mod is enabled. Still I see no effect after applying DPI changes? Why's that?
Some DPI changes requires a restart to take effect.
Nope, nothing. I tried System UI and Awesome Note, changed to 160 DPI. Nothing - it's all the same.
Do you have the latest version of the xposed app settings module installed? Some apps wouldn't change dpi for me until I installed the latest one.

Nope. Not working either - updated and tried the method, no difference. Do you have to restart every single time with every app? It works on nothing for me, I've tried restarting a few times after applying, can't bother doing that anymore though.
If it works on nothing, are you sure you've installed the xposed framework properly? As in, you've launched the installer after installing the apk and pressed "install/update" and rebooted afterwards?
I've had no issues with the xposed app settings on either Samsung or cm based ROMs.

Yeah I know how to edit build.prop, not exactly what I'm looking for. Does it change per app DPI?
For most of the apps it changes the DPI. I am not sure whether the DPI changes for games too, cause all the games are same as before.

So I can change the DPI of apps INDIVIDUALLY? Gimme the link then.

I think he means, something like AOSPA. For instance, changing gmail to tablet UI, instead of phone UI. Not necessarily just the size.

Dpi/playstore problem

So I have my gn2 set at 268 dpi which is fantastic. But there's lots of apps in the play store that I can't download because of my dpi. Does anyone know of a way I can get around this without changing my dpi back to 320 all the time? Thanks in advance.
