I didn't touch my dpi settings... And the problem arose with the first launch after a clean and fresh install. Don't know what can be causing that.
installed the xposed play store unlocked, but it didn't really work : I can now see my apps, but I get an error when installing. Well, I guess I'll have to sideload them.
I'm not on mahdi myself, I was more wondering aloud whether the dev has altered the dpi settings.
It should be at 320.
I'm actually going to try to get this rom flashed this evening so maybe I'll be more help then.

Just checked my build.prop, and it seems to be set at 270. Could be my Play Store Unlocker module's fault, though. Gonna try to disable it and change back to 320. I'll report later on.

Edit : just rebooted, and nothing changed. Icons definitely look bigger - and so I think the rom is set to 270dpi on launch - but my games still seem to be "not available for my device". I can't be the only one, can I ?

I'm a bit confused sorry. Have you actually tried the games with the build prop changed to 320?
I'm guessing the dev has dropped the setting to 270 just like the dev on slim rom. It's great having so much display real estate and it sorts the massive dock icons.
But I should try changing back to 320 and testing. If you have already, then my apologies and that's me out of ideas. I don't use my tablet for games so I'm not much use there sorry,
Good luck, rich

Thank you for your time.

In fact, I already went from 270 to 320, and to 270 again. Everything runs equally well with both density, games included. My only issue is with the Play Store : it won't let me install some games, saying they are not compatible with my device, no matte what dpi I use. Strange thing is when I sideload these games, they run just well.

Have you cleared your playstore cache and data after switching DPI?

The latest build comes with 270 as the default DPI. You will only see this if you are doing a clean flash. Otherwise, the LCD Density backup will backup your current DPI and restore it for you.

I can't believe I didn't think of it... I rebooted and rebooted again, yet it never occured to me I could wipe the play store data... Thank you, you are a effing genius.

Hi dev
Is it possible to enable stock smartstay feature? I mean that the screen does not shut down if you are looking at it...

I am getting a fail flashing this ROM. It says something like...this is for V500 only, you have a Wi-Fi device. Am I missing something?
