I somewhat naively updated my Nexus 5 phone to Cyanogenmod 12 (which is based on Android 5.0.2) today... This resulted in BOINC still working (using the latest version) but the seti binaries fail to run because they are not Position Independent Executables. Are there any plans to support Android 5?

The Einstein@Home project now supports Android 5 (http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=11155), but I've seen no announcement that the SETI staff have found time to recompile/deploy for Beta testing/release a SETI app yet.

My Android phone just updated the BOINC platform to 7.4.41 and the notes for it said it was a release to handle Android 5.0. So, maybe the apps are not far behind.

Einstein runs fine indeed, I've set the other projects (including this one) to "no work" for now to prevent downloading unprocessable tasks.
