Moto Z DPI change - Moto Z Force Questions & Answers

Hey guys I changed the DPI of my Moto Z from 640 which is so annoying to 580 on the phone. When I did this on my Galaxy S7 Edge everything looked great but now the play store looks a little weird (coloums where you see your downloaded apps and some weird triangular looking icon appears), also in Chrome in Bookmarks the icons next to the website are all big and fuzzy looking. Is there anyway to do anything about this or am I SOL? Please advise, anyone with knowledge of this... Thank you so much in advance!

Did you use ADB to change the DPI? Try resetting data on the Playstore and then rebooting. That may fix it. If it does, we can talk about the bookmarks. For the record the DPI is totally wrong and you were exactly right to change it. With Android 7.0 it is right in the settings and we don't have to root or use ADB to change it or deal with any Playstore problems.

Did you reboot?
Changing DPI causes some weirdness until a reboot.
I changed to a few different DPIs earlier, 534, 540, 560, 580 and 600, all throw Moto Display off. That was a deal beaker for me.
-edit: Just checked at 560, no weirdness in Chrome Beta or the Play Store.

market rant - No more facebook!

Okay, I was going to complain before, but held off. No longer.
It's stupid that the market totally blocks programs that it "thinks" you can't run.
Right now facebook, which I've been running perfectly fine for months, is now marked incompatible with the note.
But a big warning/disclaimer if you have to. But totally block?
It's just plain annoying, especially for apps which 99% work.
1/21 edit: it was my modified dpi

Works fine for me

yea, but you can't download it from the market anymore, which is going to annoy any new purchasers.

Same with google voice search which I have on the phone already but themarket seems to think I don't have it installed and when I try to instal latest version from market it tells me not compatible with my device and can't download it.

No such problem for me. Just to sure I uninstalled Facebook, rebooted, and reinstalled from the Market.
What happens if you try and install from market.android.com? Does it show as being incompatible?

yea. can't see it at all in the market on my phone. on website it says my mytouch4g is compatible. and not my note.
strange how it works for you - perhaps its regional? I haven't actually looked for the app in the market for ages. many roms ago, hah.
i found that reverting to stock dpi, 320, fixes this problem. i think its uncompatible if u set u to non standard dpi values.
im pretty sure thats how i fixed mine.

Take the original file you saved in a safe place before editing it and put it back.

I don't have it. I edit using ROm toolbox.
So how? The only value I change is the DPI.
Already set it back but no change.
Factory reset will restore build prop?
Set your build prop back to original. Then force stop and clear data for both market.apk and Google services framework. Then restart.

thank you very much, it works. i am able to install those tegra 3 apps now.
wonder after i install and switch back to tablet mode will it work again.
i dont like the phone UI at all.
Swap back to tablet ui
The market is good now. I can install tegra 3 games.
I think this issue started after I flash the battery icon mod. After doing the wipe data for play store and Google service, all is well. Thanks every one for replying
Noob here, rooted yesterday, same thing happened

most of the Google apps don't support my phone

hello there got my nexus yesterday it's rooted currently using xylon ROM but the problem is most of the Google apps don't support my nexus. can anyone tell me why is that happening. also I changed my LCD density to 292. can that be a issue with play store.

yes, it is the issue.
Change back to 320 dpi.
I personally havent tried this but you can check it out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37326035
whenever you change display density you have to go through a process to make the play store work. i believe xylon guides you through these steps under their xylon settings. maybe under general or user interface, but those are just guesses but i know its somewhere
well thanks very much guys but I also figured out that clearing market data also helps a bit.I mean those app shows supported for a while then turned back to not supported. I'm gonna try that play store DPI fix tool then will report back here.
thanks again

Motorola Boot Services 4.0.0
Motorola Camera 5.0.47.7
Motorola FM Radio 02.00.0045

Handful of new permissions too... Didn't keep track as they went by, just approved them all.

Sometimes the Play Store gets bugged and doesn't notify you of updates right away then weeks later they all show up at once.
Hey guys I actually noticed something.
The playstore updates of these apps removed the moto option from settings.

New Moto Camera update broke the camera on my XT1550.. using it with dpi modded to 280. Front camera / video recording buttons are out of place, which means tapping them takes a picture. Uninstalled and reverted to original version.

What exactly does that matter? I just checked and it still shows up on the apps menu which is probably the only place it should be anyway.

Same here lol flashed a few different roms and then went back to stock just to see. Kinda stinks because I like to use nova to hide any apps that can affect system wide functions so when it was in settings it had a nice home.

Android Pay can't be used

So Android Pay isn't working on my device I get the following error
"Android Pay can't be used
Google is unable to verify that your device or the software running on it is android compatible"
I was using it before without issue, then it just stopped working. I have even factory reset my device and I still am not able to get it to work. And no I have not used Package Disabler to remove anything, in fact, I do not even have it on my phone. And I am obviously not and have not previously rooted since (last I saw) it's not even an option.
Any thoughts?

You'll have to disable it to use android pay.
One of my friends had the same issue, you'll most likely have to wipe cache and data for android pay after you disable condensed mode

Thanks for your help good sir, I am sorely disappointed that this is happening. I love the condensed look....
I have the same issue with condensed dpi. Anyway, Samsung Pay works better.
