[Q] Swiftkey X Beta LCD Density mod

I cannot find any help on this, is it possible to make Swiftkey X Beta work fullscreen with LCD density changes. My LCD density by default is 240, I changed it to 200 on my Samsung Infuse, Swiftkey X Beta is quite small and has a large black border around it that is unused.
Thanks for any help.

I don't think so, matte. SwiftKey X hasn't the option to change its density. If you will, you can try Thumb Keyboard. This one has that option and you may have what you need. But I haven't tried to change the device's density and then adjust the keyboard.
Good luck!

I'm running at 200dpi and mine looks fine...
which theme are you using?

default, I've never changed the theme...doing that now.
That would be a major facepalm.
Edit: none of the included themes changed it. Is there a place to download different themes?

I'm guessing that the apk acomodates with the settings of your ROM. I'm pretty sure that if you download an app that you basically see in the market it will work well on your phone without any glitches. Try delete cache and data of the keyboard and restart it. If that doesn't work, try to uninstall it and the reinstall it from market.
Are you rooted?

I am rooted.
I cleared cache and data of the keyboard.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled it also, same thing.
There are also plenty of reports of other people with this problem. I am surprised it works for anyone. I did also purchase and upgrade to the latest version hoping that would fix it. It did not.

It'll be fixed soon... YAY
Thanks for all the help!

LCD density and Android Market

I apologize if this had been addressed elsewhere but through some diligent searching I couldn't find the answer. Is there a fix for the market not showing apps and movies after changing the LCD density or am I stuck with going back to 240 (I'm at 220 now) every so often to check for updates and download the occasional app? Thanks for the help!

One other fix is to uninstall the update to the market app and then install the app you want, but keep in mind, the market will always update itself back.

If you freeze the Market Updater it won't update till you reboot the phone, still annoying tho, I like my lower density

i have an idea how to solve this, but I need help.
does anyone know enough about AOSP or CM7 to know how to find where in the code build.prop is called? or, really, more specifically, where is ro.sf.lcd_density or qemu.sf.lcd_density called? it's possible (and probably likely) that the entire thing is loaded at once, but if it isn't, it would make it easier.
the idea is pretty simple. have two copies on hand of build.prop (one in the standard location for the market to decide what your lcd density is), and another to be called to actually change your density.
i'd estimate that there's roughly an 80% chance it will solve the problem, but depending on how build.prop or the strings within are called it might be a huge headache. also, this fix would flummox any of the apps (like android overclock, etc.) which presently allow you to modify your build.prop.
I started a new thread because this isn't Bionic specific. it is presently located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288150

Wait, so there's apps that don't show up on market? which ones? Also ,you can get a hacked version of the old market, they can't update.

LCD Density seems to break too many things with only bandaid fixes for them. It doesn't increase resolution at all, just makes things smaller. Doesn't really make it worth it in my eyes.

I really like the smaller text. Not sure which apps don't show up but they do.....
I just uninstalled the update and used Titanium Back up to freeze market updater...

CM7.1: B&N Nook App does not seem to work @ 160dpi

Anyone else having trouble running the Nook Android App with CM7.1.0 stable with the default 160dpi setting? I just migrated my NC from 7.0.3 to 7.1.0 and I'm having issues with the magazines (they are all "on top" of one another when you try to expand the stack) and the informational windows are all the wring size. I tried clearing data from manage applications and also uninstalling and resinstalling the app. Nothing seems to fix it. It's kind of a pain.

It is a known issue and a problem with the app.

So, there is not a fix for it currently. What I end up doing is archiving all the magazines but the one I want to read and the archive it when I'm done and unarchive the new one. Its a long process but it works. I don't want to have to change my DPI every time I want to read. Maybe someone will decompile the API and see what they can do to it, just like the original Netflix APK.

Thanks for the info, guys. It seems ironic that the nook app would not work properly on the nook. I guess I will just do the archiving thing until B&N gets it straight.

Download LCD density set it to 161 ,reboot and your nook App will work as it should .

That will screw up the market. You can use it to change the density for the session but I would not set it to remain on reboot.

A possible solution for you
I use Nook Odds and Ends from the Market. Set dpi to 150 and all works well for me. I am on Phiremod, but it is based on CM7 so should get same results.

160 actually cause more problem for me so i've switched back to the stock default 169.3333
161 also work

Is it just me not seeing tablet UI in apps?

Hi all. Curious if anyone else is having issues getting tablet optimized apps to show the tablet UI. For example, Google Voice. Everything works fine, but it doesn't have the split plan like the Gmail app does. Another example is the mint.com app. That displays the phone UI on my Streak 7, but shows the tablet UI beautifully on my HP Touchpad. In fact, even the new Chrome Beta displays the phone UI and not the tablet UI as I'm seeing on my Viewsonic gtabet.
Thoughts? I'm running 120 DPI on DJ_Steve's ICS B4.

Your DPI settings might be preventing those apps to show their UI properly. Someone else can help you with the optimal DPI settings...

Why the F*** are there no compatable apps for this phone?

Yes, I know I can use the build.prop trick to download files that "aren't compatable" even tho they indeed ARE compatable. My question is why is the market not letting me download a majority of new apps??

Did you alter your DPI setting?

Im having this same issue. I recently purchased Lookout so i could use all of its features and there is an update that is available on the apps web page. I got the same thing saying that it was not compatable with my device. Ive gotten this for a few others, a theme for go launcher ex and slacker radio

Hey man just realized somthing. Went to download instagram and it said it wasnt compatible. But if you go under google play store on desktop or browser you can install from there and have it install directly to phone. worked for me, hope u can get all the apps you needed to download now. Not sure why its doing this but it worked for me! good luck!

A lot of apps won't install in the event that you use a custom DPI setting. People commonly reduce the DPI value from 240 DPI to 200 DPI in order to make everything on the screen be rendered smaller. The problem is that Android market is expecting all devices to have 120, 160, 240, or 320DPI. An app developer has to go out of their way to support make the market understand that their apps support arbitrary DPI values (it's trivial, but most don't know how to do it).
What's funny is that most all apps will *run* just fine at 200DPI, but the market won't let you install them.

Where can I change my dpi?

I am going to take a stab that you changed your resolution. For some reason the market won't let you install if your resolution is not default. I guess it is just meant to be a sanity check.
If this is the case, you will need to reset your resolution (I recommend ROM Toolbox) and then go into settings and wipe your market (play store) cash and reboot. I think the default is 240, but that could differ from device to device. I haven't checked what it is for droid 4. It was 240 for droid 2.
Pain in the dairy air because I do like custom resolutions. It just got so tiresome I finally just left it default. Would be cool to find a way to fool it some how.

The DPI for Droid 4 is 240 at stock. I have the same issue and had moved my DPI to 200. Most apps were fine and then prior to the release of the update (which I have not installed yet) the market started to not allow me access to apps which I had either previously had installed or wanted to that I know are supported. I will attempt switching the DPI back to 240 and wiping and will post my success/failure on here shortly.
UPDATE: - Restored stock DPI of 240 with Rom Toolbox. Rebooted. Opened Application Management in Settings. Wiped Cache and Date. Reloaded Market. Apps install/work fine.

Different utils make it easy, rom toolbox is my fav. Worth the couple $$

I also suggest Rom Toolbox. It is the easiest and most comprehensive utility for root users.
