There is always an entry there. For any rom on any phone. It should be at about line 79 for this device. Might vary depending upon what version you are running. But also, keep in mind that you need to delete the # sign that is before it
My Bad... I searched the full word and didn't find. I should have searched for the density word. The correct text in the device is below. I changed to 480 and then changed the launcher - works as I want... I will use this, till the per-app DPI comes through XPOSED
# ro.sf.lcd_density=640

Currently wondering what the value for "ro.sf.lcd_density=" is by default.
It appears that it is 240...but the fonts did not work properly other than DroidSans.
Did yet another Factory Default to fix it.
lcddensity app works on the thrill and says 240. I changed to 220 just for personal preference.

Hey there,
I was wondering if there's a way to change the device ID for a specific application on my phone? Rogers launched Android Visual Voicemail today, but the application is only compatible for the Xperia X10 and Samsung Galaxy Q. Change the whole device ID could, I believe, create problems with my other apps.
What I'm looking to do is basically make the VVM application believe I'm using an X10/Galaxy Q, but leave my Raider ID for the other apps.
Is that even possible?
I did search around, but found nothing exactly related to what I'm looking for.
Thanks!
Yes, it is, you have to change a few things in the build.prop
ro.product.model=PH39100
ro.aa.modelid=PH3910000
ro.product.brand=cingular_us
ro.product.name=htc_holiday
ro.product.device=holiday
ro.product.board=holiday
ro.build.fingerprint=cingular_us/htc_holiday/holiday:2.3.4/GRJ22/172546.4:user/release-keys
and change it into the device you want
Maybe something in system/customize/CID but most like not

Would that affect ALL my apps?
I just want the Rogers Visual Voicemail Plus app. to think I'm using a Galaxy Q or a Xperia X10, not ALL of my apps.
Thanks!
It will basically make all apps see your phone as what you change it too. I'd think for the most part with those models you'd pretty much have access to the same apps on the market. What you have installed already shouldn't be affected I think. The visual voicemail from rogers needs to be signed up through them though so this method might not work properly. Just save a copy of your original build.prop so you can go back to normal if it doesn't work out.
Sadly it will. You could decompile the apk with apktool and edit the manifest but even that is not guaranteed.
That method is down here:

Can this make the switch in android id for a specific app easier?
Hi guys,
Anyone notice that 99% of apps are "incompatible" with the Nexus 7 from within the Play Store.
I couldn't even get Instagram to work from the Play Store, had to take the apk from my SGS2.
Could there be something blocking access to certain apps? Is it because I rooted the device? (I find both options to be unlikely, but who knows..)
The only game I noticed absent was Plants Vs Zombies.
Everything else I wanted was there, so I would say it's 99% compatible, 1% missing.
No amazon mobile, that's terrible.

its down to the individual app developer to make it compatible, not google

If you change your DPI you will notice that you can see some more apps, or lose more apps.

DPI is set to 170.
Again, the apps work fine after installing an APK, but it just seems strange that many apps in the Play Store are "incompatible with your version".

Derp, this is your problem. Valid DPIs: 120, 160, 240, 320. ANYTHING ELSE will be filtered if the app developer has put specific DPI criteria on their app. Period.
This is your own doing.
Beyond that, since the Nexus 7 has no primary camera, apps which require the Camera permission will be filtered. This part annoys me, as the front camera is good enough to use for such things but the permission isn't there, so the market filters it.

all of my games are compatible. i even added a few Tegra specific ones.
apps are all available too, the only exception is some are not optimized for the larger screen.
so its 100% for me so far and i have 4 pages worth of apps.

also, this is the first official JB device... many apps have not been adjusted to allow for that yet.

There's a simple app in store that changes the DPI for you and also has the feature to fix the market issues.
Amazon Mobile downloads directly if you first install the Amazon app store and use that.
I got the app store from Amazon's web site when I went there to search for Amazon Mobile.
Definitely recommended. Most of my shopping is on Amazon...

You cant do it in wanam. You have to download app settings. From there you can do per app dpi changes. If you look at the xposed installer you can download the up to date app settings program there. Id also get the play store dpi fix too so ya dont lose any app access with an unrecognized dpi.

Hi whats the easiest way to inrease the screen DPI? I have a SGS3 and a Note3 infront of me but I dont see anything extra on the Note3 it's just magnified. Really pointless...unless you have poor eye sight!

I set the dpi on an app by app basis. I left the system as is and just decreased the system font size. I feel this combo works well for me. I used Xposed App Settings to do this.

I installed Xposed App Settings and played around with dpi setting
of 320 and 480 in contacts and the gallery, but didn't see any real change.
Can you provide any help?

I actually didn't change contacts or the gallery. That's strange though. I changed other apps like the Play Store and Youtube to 400 just to make everything a bit smaller and they've changed accordingly.
To tell you the truth I don't have that much experience with this either. So you've installed the framework correct? Did you save the changes you made to the two apps you mentioned?
