There's a nifty workaround in case of unsufficient internal space - worked for me on a Galaxy with factory-set internal 256 MB.

http://en.androidwiki.com/wiki/ADB_Shell_Command_Reference
The setInstallLocation command changes the default install location
0 [auto]: Let system decide the best location
1 [internal]: Install on internal device storage
2 [external]: Install on external media

Therefor, ADB is needed.

I was able to get heaps of free space then, but still I'm unable to tell which directories used for WU's.

[...] but eventually I got Primegrid to cooperate.


Didn't work for me, in lack of some matching science app.
"Message from server: Your app_info.xml file doesn't have a useable version of PPS (LLR)." However.


Now I'm working on a MW task. Hopefully it goes well.


I'm halfway through a 34-hour-MilkyWay task (29604 GFLOPS on a 800 MHz ARMv6 without *any* Caches).

Just in case I missed that, aren't there any ARMv6-compatible third-party-compiles for Android (specifically, S@H)? NativeBOINC for Android on my Samsung.

Gripe: as mentioned earlier by others, no Messages tab anymore (Strg-Shift-M still not working for me?).

Kudos: everyone who's Volunteering!

May, June, October, I see... would be very interesting who's the "oldest" user, possibly one of the S@H scientists ? ;-)

why did it take so long to get to 100K when you have such a powerful i7-2600 with a GPU? is it a new system? from now on it will probably take you 13 days to do what took 13 years on less powerful machines. :)


Had some old Intel P, P2, P3, even AMD's running, up from Linux 2.0, some running concurrently, without a network. Real nostalgia, nothing comparable to today's modern systems.

Should boost his production nicely.


More than. I enabled HTT lately, resulting in 8 WUs plus CUDA. Even considered a Hexa-Core before.

Best,
M.
