Right, low-res (ldpi) devices filter out applications that are not
marked as compatible.

You need to build with at least Android 1.6 to get support for multiple
resolutions. Only starting with Android 1.6 can you provide "alternate
resources" to account for variations in display sizes and densities:
typically, images, at least the mdpi and hdpi versions.

Two ways to do it: either add supports-screens, or set minSdk to 4.

If you wish to retain compatibility with 1.5, use supports-screens (and
be careful to not use any Java classes / methods new with 1.6).

Start by reading this, see if your application follows these guidelines:

No (see above).
