"aDosBox could not be installed on this phone." on G1 in Canada (called HTC Dream)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there, 
Thank you for porting Dosbox onto android, I've been waiting for this 
for a long time ! 

I have an HTC Dream device (which is the same hardware as the G1, but 
it was renamed in Canada). 

I got my hand on the WVGA APK file, and my app manager complains 
this : 
 "aDosBox could not be installed on this phone." 

Do you have an idea? In your videos, it works fine on  the G1, I 
wonder what could cause this. 

BTW I tried using both ASTRO and AndroZip as the installer, and have the same 
issue. 

Thanks and keep up the good work !

Since G1 have 800x480(WVGA), BUT HTC Dream only have 480x320(HVGA). You need to 
get HVGA version.

I have my adoxbox on HTC dream working now, but it still have problem. Since 
HTC Dream does not have actually keyboard, no matter what I set property value 
to keyboardlayout inside dosbox.conf, software keymapper cannot be shown. Dos 
box become a dummy. Cannot take any input into it. Any suggestion ?!

I set keyboardlayout to: none, auto. I also check ( 
http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/KEYB ) to see if we can activate keyboardmaper in 
HTC Dream. None of this can be done to work. Can anybody help me how to popup 
keyboardmapper inside HTC Dream ?!

I follow instruction as follow,
================================================================================
==
Installation:

1.Download and unzip the tarball.
2.Connect your Android phone to computer
3.Install the the apk to your phone using command: 
adb install name_of_apk_file
If you see output message like "[INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]", it means the 
apk has been installed. Use following command to uninstall it: 
adb uninstall org.hystudio.dosbox
or directly use command 
adb install -r name_of_apk_file (-r means reinstall)

4.Copy file dosbox.conf to SD card of your phone using following command:
adb push dosbox.conf /sdcard/dosbox.conf
If you don't have a SD card, use following command
adb push dosbox.conf /data/data/org.hystudio.dosbox/files/dosbox.conf 
5.Have fun! Don't forget to leave feedbacks (Personal feedback, aDOSBox group)
================================================================================
==

By the way, I didn't see /data/data/org.hystudio.dosbox/files/ folder inside 
it. Should I create those folder list and put doxbox.conf into it and try again 
??

As I said, the G1 is called HTC Dream here in Canada, and like the G1 it has a 
keyboard. Your HTC Dream has no keyboard ? Hmmmm... Are you sure you have an 
HTC Dream? 

See: 
http://www.android.encke.net/android-emulator-htc-dream-landscape-black.html

Of course, I tested both HVGA and WVGA apks, and all I get is this "aDosbox 
could not be installed on this phone" message. 

What's annoying is that dosbox is running well here:

(I have this exact same phone except it's written "HTC" instead of "T-Mobile" 
on the front)

My bet is that the installer auto-check some version information on the phone 
and if it does not recognize specific strings, it will exits, even though your 
hardware can run it. 

I tried installing the SDK, and install the apk from there, and all I get now, 
is Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]. Well looking into it anyway.
