CM7 Market Problems: Solved?

taosaur · 10-01-2011, 08:37 AM

It seems like Google and the CM7 developers have managed to meet halfway and clear up the compatibility issues with the market. For a couple weeks, it hasn't been necessary to repeatedly clear market data once your dpi was set to 160, and 160 dpi has been the default in nightlies of the past week or so.

My market has been fully operational for at least a week or so.

Forgive, if you will, a noob's queries. I had help rooting my NC to my SD, and am not a developer myself. I do make an effort to follow xda, along w this & other android forums, but my base knowledge is elementary...

I've had app compatibility issues, incl w Google Books [last night] and Body [RIP].
1) How to set the dpi to 160?
2) Do we need to un/re-install a more recent build of CM7 to solve the compatibility issues?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

If you've already updated to a post-202 nightly, then you'll want to change density in build.prop.

You'll need Root Explorer or another root file explorer. Go into the app's settings and make sure root or superuser is enabled.
Navigate to /system folder by going up or back two directories from /sdcard.
In /system, mount R/W. There will either be a R/W button up top, or an option under Menu > More.
Long-press build.prop and "Open in Text Editor."
Find "qemu.sf.lcd_density=161" just over halfway down and change it to 160.
Reboot.
Run Market.
If you see a Movies category, you're done.
If not, close Market, long-press your Market icon, Application Info > Clear Data.
Repeat 7 thru 9 until it sticks.
