How do I get SETI v8 to run on NativeBOINC, i.e. how do I get rid of the anonymous platform? It was pretty easy to get it to work since it was installed automatically, but how to remove it?

Detaching and reataching to the project via the GUI on the phone did not help, doing that thru other computer gave me one WU, however it was than instantly deleted because of the app_info.

14/03/2016 17:43:28 SETI@home Sending scheduler request: Project initialization.
14/03/2016 17:43:28 SETI@home Requesting new tasks for CPU
14/03/2016 17:43:29 SETI@home [update_apps] dont preempt suspended (cpusched)
14/03/2016 17:43:30 SETI@home Scheduler request completed: got 1 new tasks
14/03/2016 17:43:30 SETI@home [error] App version returned from anonymous platform project; ignoring
14/03/2016 17:43:30 SETI@home [error] No app version found for app setiathome_v8 platform arm-android-linux-gnu ver 800 class armv7-vfpv3-nopie; discarding 17se10af.16619.14386.12.39.141_0

Any suggestions?

You said it yourself.
Move it or delete it. Restart boinc.

if phone rooted delete app_info.xml and restart NativeBOINC
if it's not rooted, delete SETI@home project and attach again, but this time entering URL manually as it would be unknown project.
This way you get stock binary.
P.S. I use NativeBOINC with 3 rooted tablets and 2 not rooted phones currently, all crunching SETI v8 just fine (stock binary).
NativeBOINC still way better than stock one IMO.

That far I have come by myself. My question was "how to remove it?" This is not Windows, where I can simply navigate to the project folder with Windows Explorer or whatever.

Thanks. I found now also another way to do it, for those interested it is in the "native client" menu, something like "delete project applications (from app_info.xml)". The words might be little different, I use german GUI.

Doesn't your android device drain battery really badly when you run boinc on it? Or doesn't it get hot? I have several android devices, but if I use them a lot, they'll get very warm. I've seen boinc for android and I've not used it because I didn't want to damage my devices.

1) I set NativeBOINC to crunch only on plug so no battery drain (actually, computation stopped when 95% of battery level reached to not stop tasks just on re-plug).

2) Devices get warm, not hot. Samsung Galaxy mini, Viewsonic G-tablet, HTC Evo (warmer of all but tolerable even in case).
