My s3 was showing 59 hours to completion at the beginning. After 30 minutes the time had dropped and 5% was completed, however then I got an error. Maybe it's not quite ready for prime time yet.

Hi. I published debug version (available here:http://files.nativeboinc.org/debug/seti-debug-distrib.zip).
This version generates /mnt/sdcard/seti_fault.txt, which contains info necessary to catch bug (for me).
Please, download file, put in some directory named as 'SETI@Home.zip' and install via 'Update from sdcard'.
I didnt expect segfaults.

thank you.

PS: Can you give me work_unit.sah file for debugging? It would be great help for me.

You want the v6 PG series (4 short Wu's of different Angle Ranges) from eithier MB test WUs 1/2 or MB test WUs 2/2,

Lunatics Test and Benchmark Tools

If you can get the KWSN Linux MB Bench v2.01.08 bench program working under Android then great, that'll help to see if the Wu's will validate.

Thank you Claggy. But I am interesting your failed workunit (it will be great help, when you could save your failed workunit, if possible).
If you can, please install debug version. Information generates by this version will helpful for me. It generates only info about faults.

thank you.

And you really really want to build a V7 app at a revision not earlier than r1671 or you'll find your work pretty much obsolete in a few weeks.

Never learned my way around the repository properly but I think
https://setisvn.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/seti_boinc/
has the stock v7 build and
https://setisvn.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/branches/sah_v7_opt/
has optimised cpu, CUDA and OpenCL code.
No idea which might be the easiest to port from for Android.

i compiled version from repository. This is 'sah_v6'@1793 branch.
I didnt use sah_v7, because it didnt provided by server (workunit was available for sah6).

Oh right.
V7 is in beta - setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/beta
sah_v6 is outdated - previous release. We're about to transition to V7.

The difference between V6 and V7 WUs is additional tags in the WU header:
<autocorr_thresh>17.8</autocorr_thresh>
<autocorr_per_spectrum>1</autocorr_per_spectrum>
<autocorr_fftlen>131072</autocorr_fftlen>
that tag is used by the opt apps to switch between code with and without autocorrelation.

Our devs may be able to help you further. I don't code I'm just there for the unimportant bits. (like doing installers)

The Wu of mine that failed can be got from here:

http://boinc2.ssl.berkeley.edu/sah/download_fanout/17/16oc12ad.3218.143753.206158430224.10.105.vlar

I'll get that debug app installed in the morning.

Currently, I am running my app under valgrind to catch bugs (ofcourse, it is computing failed workunit). I am waiting for results.

Thank you.
Unfortunatelly I couldnt catch bug with using valgrind :-O (!!!). My HTC sensation was computing a failed workunit over hour and couldnt catch bug.
(I was trying, valgrind works fine). I can try later.
I suspect, that bug is in boinc api (possible, that can be encountered when app works under a boinc client).

thank you

Yes. Theoretically. I added support for ARMv6 VFP and ARMv7 NEON. I was testing app for VFP and NEON. yesterday, I ran seti app (from boinc client) on HTC Wildfire S with ARMv6. Works fine.
