Thanks for the response. Sounds great. I've loaded it up on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and managed to run some work units from the test site just fine - http://isaac.ssl.berkeley.edu/test/results.php?hostid=674
I'm going to see if I can get some theSkyNet POGS WUs running under this version. I'll post back. I'd also like to take a look at the VM used for development when it gets posted up, as I'm currently running a mix of different SDK/NDKs - mainly because of the gfortran toolchain requirement for POGS main app. Cheers Daniel On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 3:35 AM, David Anderson <da...@ssl.berkeley.edu>wrote: > Daniel: > > The software described in Rom's email (which I'll call "BOINC on Android") > is a version of BOINC for Android developed and supported by > the BOINC project.
