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

it works fine if you email the .apk file from another device like your phone
I have not had this problem and actually have instagram installed following root and unlock. Something is up with your tablet.

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".

Change your dpi to 160 and magic in the play store will happen.

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.

Shouldn't 213 be listed
also, this is the first official JB device... many apps have not been adjusted to allow for that yet.

yup no worries, I had to change it from 213 somehow, right?

He said the risk of doing, not how to do it. ie changing the dpi and the market issues that brings with it

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...

Misread that, my bad. Anyhow, changing the DPI to 160 did not solve the problem..
just rooted my note 3. now looking for some good apps for rooted phone. I installed titanium back up. also what is best app for overclocking
Install xposed framework and wanam xposed. It will give you so much control over customization and features.

I second this notion, also while you have Xposed grad "App Settings" if you're like me, and wondering why you see just as much content in most apps on this HUGE screen as you do on any 4.5-5in phone.
Root Explorer is a very useful app

What DPI are you using in App Setttings?
Squuiid said:
Thank you both for your replies, appreciate your help!
You're right, all seems fine now that I soft reset via software.
Does anybody know the technicalities of why this happens?
What is the difference between using the pen to reset and using software.
What exactly is different?
(I'm now using XCPUScalar to soft reset BTW)

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.

Techweed,
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?
Thanks,
Neil

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?

Bladerunner,
In the above thread you referenced, you stated you used rom toolbox to changed your whole system to 320 dpi
Where can I find that feature in rom toolbox?
Thanks,
Neil
Its the build prop editor open it and scroll all the way down and look for the LCD =480. Change it to whatever ya want then it'll prompt ya to reboot and after that DPI will be changed

When your open rom toolbox, Swype to the left and you will see the build prop editor button.

All,
Here is a copy of the Samsung Apps APK that I have modified to remove the touchwiz requirement. Just download and install. This should provide the Samsung App store to custom roms/GPE edition roms on your devices.
YMMV, but this works perfectly on my device.

Just to be clear, will this fix the notification problems ( such as notifications for hangouts, text messaging, gmail, etc.) that are found in non TouchWiz roms? Thanks and happy new year!

What exactly was done ? Was the framework removed from the android-manifest file ?
I've installed it on nexus5, but it says country/device not supported. Does buildprop edit make a difference?

Yes. I removed the tw framework from the manifest for this apk, rebuilt and resigned using a development key.
It's not that simple for the rest of the gear stuff, unfortunately. :/

Since I don't have such a device to test on, you might give it a shot after making a backup of your current build.prop file.

This could be an issue with non Sammy devices. It's possible a build.prop edit would fix this, but I'm not sure
