I've just installed the latest ics stunner rom on galaxy note everything is working great very happy but a lot of apps (most of the good ones) don't show I'n the play store and when on the play google site it says these apps are incompatible with my phone, but there not I know they work and they do if I download the apk. Google tech support say its because I'm using a custom rom :s anyone else have this problem? Any fixes? Thanks in advance for any help.

You running on stock DPI ? 320 or 240 or 160(tablet)mode?
Thanks for quick reply. Im currently running on 200 as seems to work best but I have tryed all settings with full reboot/market data clear etc with no change.
Edit: it seems no one else has this problem, maybe its the chain fire ics repack that's causing the problem? I can't think of any other reasons, is there a newer version of this firmware?
Basically, the market (I refuse to call it "play store") is crap. In Euphoria Control set both dpi settings to 240, reboot, clear market data, reboot, and then you should be able to use the market. I never managed to make it work with DPI other that 240 for more than a day before it craps out again.
There are also hacked vending.apk versions that work with any DPI setting, but they tend to have problems, like not allowing to buy apps.

Market recognizes the apps and device based on the DPI. Use the stock dpi values like 320, 240 or 160 to get apps. After every dpi change and reboot remember to clear the market data. After installing the apps you can switch to the dpi u choose to!! This is the limitation of market and not the rom!
Cheers!
Thank you for this useful information, Abhi.
(Well, it's good manners for someone to say thanks, isn't it?)
Thank you very much I have sorted the problem sticking to 160 dpi with the phone fc fix is working great, I now have all apps accessible thanks everyone

Trying not to start a new thread, I've read everything and tried all the fixes to fix market so I can install flash and get hulu plus working...
...I was on 7.0.3 SD with EVERYTHING working just how I like it....then I was reading that the nightlies were great! So I upgraded to 157...market and hulu plus stop working (market won't let me download flash, hulu plus says device not supported) so I found the threads with the lcd density going from 161 to 160.....it worked, got them both running, got flash installed, for two days....then same thing happens...so i REinstalled a nightly...up to 166....market and hulu plus broken, retried the lcd density trick...market works, no hulu plus (I did follow the delete all--install TB backup trick)...I'm now on 177, same thing...got market to work by 160, hulu plus still borked....i also went to 240 and got BIG displays and icons saying Device Not Supported, so I am now staying at 160, but hulu plus not working.....
What should be my next step..? BACK to 7.0.3? Please help!
PS...I DO have flash working, but market says I shouldn't be able to have it cause it isn't compatible....so I only need hulu plus working at this point.
Yes, you totally needed to make a separate thread on this.....
ROM is irrelevant. The market filters on the Google side. What the DPI has to do with it I don't know anyone knows the details on, but this would happen on any ROM.

Really? So going backwards to where it worked won't help?
Just a note that the newly released GTA III port (http://bit.ly/vZjhEn) works fine on my Gtablet running the newest repackage of CM7 for bootloader 1.2. Frame rate is great, graphics aren't missing textures, and the game plays well. Quite a good port.
Also works on my friends gtab running veagantab rc1 bl1.1

160. I changed it because I prefer the larger fonts/look.
I just downloaded it from the market and then let it do its thing. No workarounds; it just worked.
It doesn't work on froyo roms. Bummer. Ill just wait till the. 36 kernel is done
For some reason I cannot get GTA3 to show in the market. I even bought it in the browser market. I'm running Flashback 10.3, any suggestions?

Looks like the barrage of negative reviews about incompatibility caused Rockstar to list a lot of devices as incompatible. Since I can now see all the old Flashback ROMs I used to run on the list of devices, I can tell you they're all now listed as incompatible. My Epic is as well, so.... well, looks like Rockstar should have tested it a bit more.
Hi All:
I'm running CM7.02 Repack BL1.2, and and +1 that GTA III 10 yr Ann. version works with no problem on the gTab.
I did have some issues to be able to load it due to having over 15 differnt ROMS previously installed (yeah I know).
Issue #1 Screen Density, I had it at 120, changed it to 160 (thx tedlogan42). If you are have texture issues with some other games, try dloaing BuildProp editor, search or google it, its free and xda has great posts on how to use it. Basically you want to:
In the /system/build.prop file, I changed this line:
ro.sf.lcd_density=120
to this:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
(save and reboot to apply change)
Issue #2, cant find GTA III in the market, or a game that used to install now says its not compatible to your device, well after you changed your screen density:
-goto Settings>>Applications>>>Manage Applications>>>All Tab
-scroll to Market
-Force Stop
-Clear Cache
-Clear Data
-Reboot the Gtab
Once Gtab is rebooted and stable, launch Market, you should see the "Accept EULA" window. Click accept, search for your game GTA III or whatever game that used to run.
Hope this helps someone....

Decided to try this out on Flashback 10.3 (HC) to see what happens. Setting LCD density to 160 does not play nice. I undid the changes and things are working fine. There may be a way to adjust other variables to make this work better, but that is beyond the scope of my knowledge.

Decided to try this without the change to screen density to see what happened. No love. I imagine the screen density in build prop must be altered before trying this. I may try changing the screen density, clearing market data, accepting EULA, trying to find GTA III, and then restoring my screen density. No time now, but perhaps on Xmas when I'll have nothing to do.

While your suggestions didn't help me due to ROM differences, I bet they'll help someone with a similar setup to yours. Additionally, you introduced me to Root Explorer and Build.prop modifications. Something awesome that I didn't know about. Thanks for the knowledge and taking the time to reply!
CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 works but no sound
The game shows up in Market with CM7.1 and it installs fine but there is no sound. Also, the controls on the game is hard for me to get used to. There's too much happening with too many "buttons" on the screen clustered together to make them useful. I wish it would have game controller support.
Can't wait for a Ice Cream Sandwich ROM since I've read that it's supposed to have built in game controller support.
Hi All,
As the title asks... Is anyone else having issues with apps not displaying "fully" on the screen of the Note?
I have an issue with the "Scrabble Free" game where it runs ok but it only shows the game screen in the top left corner of the screen. It is showing the WHOLE page but it is less that a quarter the size of the screen.
Can someone maybe download this game and see if its that same for you? Its free. And if anyone has other apps that they have this issue with then perhaps share them here so we can make a list of these "wonky" apps.
If you know how to fix this then please advise as well.
Thanks,

No. I have not changed the DPI settings at all however I am running Darky Note ROM... Perhaps the ROM has changed my DPI settings? Everything else seems normal on the ROM though except that in the Dialer for example and in the Task Manager app - the Selection Bar that is usually in the top of the screen shows now at the bottom but I thought this may be a feature of the ROM...
What is the standard / stock DPI of the Note?

Thanks for the info. Would you mind perhaps DL'ing the Scrabble game to see if it does the same for you? I have an email out to EA Games on this but have not heard back yet. Perhaps I can get them to update the game for the Note if needed so that this issue can be avoided in the future...

The stock DPI is 320.
But if you have not modded it the chances are that it is at the stock value.
Nevertheless, install any DPI changing software from the market, they generally show the current value. if you are at 320 dpi then it most probably is the problem with the app. otherwise just change to 320 reboot and check

I should mention that one of my chess clients also does not display properly. Granted chessboards are square...
It's an app issue. Various old apps have this problem.
For some apps, you can download spare parts and enable the compatibility mode.
If I do this for bonsai blast, it runs full screen but it is choppy.

Spare Parts eh? Is that what the app is called in the market? Just "Spare Parts"?

Iam using Spare Parts+ (Plus), It fix this problem for some apps, but some apps are not made for Note, so it will not fix them , for ex. iGO Navigation
Ibrahim keyboard a keyboard for Arabic language. .. Does not show right. .. Smaller and looks funny. .. ..
Also have some app, not the main content of the app, but just the loading is no displaying fully (Match En Direct)
Hey Guys.
I have recently discovered how to change my LCD density using Rom Toolbox. I have changed it to make everything smaller, kind of zoomed out. I was so happy until I wasn't able to install apps off of Google Play. My question is: why does LCD density mess up market downloads and can it have a negative impact on the device? IE: does the screen have to constantly re-draw to set to new density?
If anyone is knowledgeable about how LCD density (build.prop) effects the device, can you please post below with your smartness Thanks.
i have seen how this work in my galaxy s where they had higher density roms.
i dont think it can actually hurt your device.
i have tried it on an ics rom on my n1 and i dont experience any trouble to install apps from play. may be its gb problem or specifically your rom?
actually i was surprised how well the system adapted to the new settings
except a few graphical artifacts everything looks ok.
btw i used 200 value on medroid 6.1 if i remember correctly.

Yea, I tried lowering the density and I couldn't install any apps off of the market. I had to set back, reboot, and clear Play's data in order to download more apps. Happened to me on CM7.2, not sure if it is a rom limited problem or if that's just how it is.
The apps themselves aren't coded for such low (or high) pixel density for your device.

Hi Guys,
I've been trying to find "Badass Battery Monitor Pro" on the play store, however it doesn't show up. I did some digging and found that its something to do with the DPI (i was running at 260). I've changed it back to 320 (rebooted a few times and it still doesn't show. )
I also have the same problem with Juice Defender.
I'm running the German Official build of ICS. Other than being rooted and changing the DPI i've not modded the ROM in anyway.
Does any one have any idea why its not showing?
cheers

Not sure if you want to change to a custom rom, but if so I can recommend paranoidandroid. It's a rom based on CM9 but it is easy to change from phone mode to tablet mode WITH a working market in both modes. I am impressed and feel like this is the rom the Note deserves.
Thanks guys that sorted it.
Cheers for the help and I'll check out the ROM.
