What's the deal with Skype? - HD2 Android Themes and Apps

I had skype installed a couple of weeks ago and now the market won't let me download. There seem to be forum posts of people using it on the HD2 so I'm confused. Do I just have to look for the apk file? Is it actually not working?

If your using the build in your sig then I am running the same build and skype is on my device. Did you perhaps change your density? I read this prevents many apps from showing or from being downloaded.

Hm. What should the density be so that I can download it? I think I played around with it at some point. I don't remember what it was originally though.

240 is standard, if you look in the nand thread for americandroid there are instructions in the OP on how to change for reference.

It runs fine in 167, 192 and 217. I never had problems with Market not letting me get apps other then the new market crap that's going on. Then again, I'm running a different ROM then y'all.

Thanks for your help! I used an app to temporarily change the density. That way I could install it. Had my old density back after a reboot and skype still works.

Swapper For Root Users gone from Market?

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you have or know where I can get the latest version of Swapper for Root Users.
I have been out of the Hero/Sense/Espresso game for a while and between then and now I lost my swapper apk. I need it because I am flashing over Eugene's Espresso V3 right now, and I don't have a swapper app at the moment.
I looked around here on the forums and I could only find the 1.4 version. The lastest was 1.5 and was hoping I could get a hold of that one because I didn't really like the 1.4 and for me it seemed the 1.5 worked better.
I know that there is the DroidSwap, and I have tried that in the past and I just did not like it.
Thanks in advance everyone who takes a look at this.
What is wrong with editing the conf file?
Computer is going to be gone for another month. best buy warranty sucks. I'm doing this all from my phone or a friend's computer whenever I get the chance to head over there.
Until I get my laptop back, I would like to have that app to be able to change my settings on the fly and not have to make the trek to his house which is on the other side of town.
search user.conf on the market, there is an application that will create it with visual options. But you can also edit the file with a text editor on the phone.

I've looked there. The latest version on that thread is .0.1.3
.5 is what I was looking for.
Edit: That was the one I was looking for, but the versions just weren't labeled right I guess. Thanks Dumbest Crayon.

Thanks, I looked there and only saw .0.1.3, but I took a closer look and it said that that is the same version as the 1.5. Wouldn't have noticed it if you didn't point it out again.

Uninstall market access, and any changes it made should be undone as well. You can also try restore the default back to the AT&T carrier string, but I don't recall the code. If you backed up your settings before you applied the changes, they should be stored for you.
I think the market might be down right now, as many people are reporting problems, including myself....

its down
Whew ok, I was playing with my build.prop file playing with the DPI tweak and Market wasn't working so I was playing with it's file properties thinking I messed something up rofl. Makes me feel better.
while were in the app subject.. how come there's no dedicated website for the market? Or am I just a blind man
Well, there are sites like AppBrain and AndroidZoom, though not sure if that's exactly what you are thinking of...

He is wondering why there's no official market site to see available apps. That's my best guess at least.

Anyone Have The Latest Facebook.apk?

The latest market has this issue with telling me apps aren't compatible with my device, and it just decided Facebook is no longer compatible. I removed it and went to download it again but it won't let me.
Can someone post a link for me to the apk, please.

Sorry to hear, but it's good to hear at the same time. I've been getting that a lot as well and am tired of it. I thought it was just specific to us in Belgium. Is that Google's way of getting us to upgrade from the N1?

Yeah, Yahoo Fantasy Football says its not compatible as well. I've been seeing it lately out of no where. It's really frustrating.
Are you guys using density changer? I read in another thread that it will cause the not compatible issue.

Yes I am. I changed it back to normal for a day and got the same results. Should I of waited longer?
I do mine manually through build.prop but yes, I do change it.

That was it. Reset to 240 (N1 default), cleared all cache from Market 3.1.3, basically running it for the first time, and I had 18 updates available. Thanks for the advise!!
I didn't have any issue with the update for Facebook at all.

Android Police got a leak off the apk on from ICS.

When I installed it it keeps going into it then immediately FC. Can anyone fix this and post it or know how I could fix it?
having the same problem. would love to see this working but i cannot figure out the fc issues either. tried clearing data after signing in and a restart and still fc's. even tried pushing to system/app. someone help us )
Same thing here. I uninstalled the previous version, cleared data...no dice.
Btw, i'm on hero deck 1.3 (2.3.7) with firerats mod.

if it was leaked from ics than its probably formatted for ics framework and hdpi screens so it wouldn't work anyway

Actually on the Eris people have gotten it to work but with different roms. Also if thats true why would the Google+ and new market ICS leaks install an work?
+1 here! I have tried all current versions (i.e. 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.1.5) I can use version 3 with no problems. I have tried upgrading and on a fresh install. I have also tried clearing data and allowing sync as was suggested in the apps thread. It seems the Hero is the only one FCing. If anyone figures out a work around please let me know.
same problem here
Looked around on other forums, I was amazed, almost every phone had a fix for this... maybe our phone's finally obsolete... I hope not though.

Was the issue with other phones similar to ours (i.e. FCing)? If so what was the issue and/or work around? Maybe we could try to find a work around ourselves!? I wonder if V. 4 requires a newer version of OpenGL. I know the previous versions required V. 2.0 of OpenGL??? Let me rip apart the apk and see what I can find.

Yes, the majority deleted the old music.apk then pushed the new apk to system/app and changed the permissions. I tried this, didn't work... Maybe OpenGL is the issue, I know the LG optimus subforum has it worked out, not sure what OpenGL version their phones run. But if you find anything I'll be glad to help test!

Well I looked at the apk and V.4 calls for OpenGL V. 131072 and according to my phone running FauxICS beta 2 I have version 65537. Not sure if that is an issue or not. I also noticed "android:hardwareAccelerated="true". I changed the OpenGL version in my build.prop to match version 4 but in the end it still force closed. Then I tried changing the hardware accelerated to false but that made no difference. I'll look and see if I can find anything else but does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

i too tried these things. lets hope someone chimes in and gets this going. thanks for your effort bud!
Anybody had any success getting the market version installed? I saw back in May it was pretty easy to do (change the opengl line in build.prop), but when I tried that today, it still wouldn't let me install through market.
I'm running a 3.0.333 .apk that I found online somewhere, and it works great, but it might be nice to see what I'm missing with the update
i love google music

Not to resurrect a dead thread, but it's suddenly become relevant again. My non-market APK just auto-updated to the market version 4.1.513, and it works flawlessly.
So that's cool.

[Q] Setting per app DPI - How?

TP with CM9 Nightlies
Does anyone know how to set the DPI for a specific application? I want to run the system UI at 160 and a single app at 120 DPI. I've seen this done on other devices/roms, but not on CM9 -w- TouchPad.
Thanks in advance

Those are tablet ui type ROMs for specific devices like my Galaxy S2 that has a tablet ui option... seriously before asking something such as this pretty much proves you didn't bother to read even the opening posts of ANY of the ROMs here in the forum which needless to say is pretty lame

Good morning to you too. While I always appreciate help and guidance where I can get it, I do not appreciate condescension. I have read the opening posts on many of the ROMs. I did not see where it says "All your DPI questions go here". Also, I've posted on the ROM threads and PM'd a ROM dev but not received any answer yet.
My mom is going into surgery and then a lengthy hospital stay. I gave her a tablet so she can a bit more comfortable and entertained while stuck in bed for weeks. I am trying to figure out how to fix this one app's display before she goes in.
I ask you a favor, what is my best shot at getting a specific answer? Your expertise would be much appreciated.

It's that blasted "Words with Friends". She's hooked.
You can't see the chat portion of the app at 160 DPI, you can see it at 120 DPI but then the rest of the TP's UI is too small for her. So I'm looking to get just WWF at 120 while leaving the rest of the Tab's DPI at 160.
Is this something that has to be cooked into the ROM?
Any ideas?

Of course, its an app I dont use. lol. I've never heard of changing the DPI for each app. But maybe you can change it to a DPI somewhere in the middle. I use 140 and it looks great. I've heard changing the DPI can break the play store, but I have never had a problem with it.
Also, I've seen some apps that dont fit on the screen like you describe. Does it do that in both landscape and portrait mode? The ones I have seen only do that in one orientation.

I have tried 132 and 140 only 120 shows all the UI. And it's hard-wired to go landscape on the tablet. I tried to get it to go Portrait with no joy.
Dagr8 over on the SG Note threads has made a "Per App DPI" ROM which is very cool. I want to do the samehting on the TP but I did not know if it was a ROM thing or just knowing where to set the DPI thing; example in "build.prop" file.

Simple answer... the function is not available for the TouchPad and only available for a select FEW devices (phones) as there really isn't a need for the function considering the size of most tablets... you can stop looking or stressing waiting for an answer as that's pretty much it..... its a great feature on my SGS but convincing a dev to do the work for a tablet is quite a task

There is no "how to" for the functionality yet (a todo i think), but there is for the implementation.

That looks like its specific to that ROM. It modifies the build.prop file as well as adds a hyb.prop file which controls the different app DPIs. I'm not a dev so I wouldnt know how to add that to the TouchPad. But it looks like it might be possible. That would be awesome to have that modified for the TouchPad though. Especially since our DPIs are all over the place. But as it stand now, I dont think we have that option.

Most 12 year olds have to clean their room before they can go out to play. This can make some of them angry and bitter. Just remember they are mad at their mom, not you.
As an adult and experienced tecnophile, I am humored by their social ignorance. I take solace that the real world will kick them in the "you-know-what" someday.
