Is strange
I search in the AndroidMarket (Android 2.1) and I cannot find the app
but in a PlayMarket (Android 2.2) I can fin them search by the same keywords
both devices are not my but i have access to both (Mother 2.2 and bother 2.1 or sister other 2.1)
Keyword used, searches separated by commas , : arch, awo, awol, linux
Thanks for letting me know. What devices do you have? Perhaps your device requires some feature that I don't provide or vice versa. I would love to figure it out.
The app is indeed built for Android 2.1 and that's the primary emulator I use for testing:
<uses-sdk
android:targetSdkVersion="15"
android:minSdkVersion="7"/>
So we can eliminate that from our troubleshooting.
ok the 2.1 are both Xperia x8, I havenot have the 2.2 phone in this momment but i know that is a samsung...
noone are rooted or modiffied in any way, only updated for the lastest updates availables
So, my friend, I am at a loss:

As you can see, Google lists the Xperia x8 as a target. I notice it doesn't say what api version though. All is not lost yet. Either I made a mistake, or there is something else going on. Here is the latest release. You will be the first to use besides myself:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5Ui_9 … 0o2TExxeW8
Please let me know if that works and if it doesn't, what sort of message you get back. Thanks a lot!
EDIT:
Just in case you don't know:
plug in your phone into a linux box and ...
adb start-server
adb install the_apk_file_release.apk
...assuming you have all the android stuff installed from AUR. Or you can copy, find and open it on your phone, I think
