Managed to get this working with POGS using anonymous platform, as the project currently doesn't support ARM natively. Few things I had to do:
- Gain root access using modded boot - this is just something I do when working in restricted locations. I revert back later. - Add /data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/client/remote_hosts.cfg so I can send project attach commands using remote UI. - Dump POGS project files into /data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc/client/projects/ec2-23-23-126-96.compute-1.amazonaws.com_pogs - Send attach command remotely for project (no built in option at present). - Modified computing preferences to always allow network activity and run whilst on batteries etc... Some reason this didn't set for newly attach project. Some things that I noticed: - When the screen dims it sets all tasks to "waiting" except one that runs in high priority. - When force closing the app, the BOINC client hangs around in the background. This I noticed from running a ps inside my SSH shell to my phone. Overall seems very promising. Great work! I'm guessing we'll be seeing project command features and further computing/network tweaking capabilities in the future? Is there any chance of modifying the default manifest to include android:debuggable="true" so we can use adb shell run-as edu.berkeley.boinc? I don't use this feature, but there might be some out there that don't want to compile their own apk and want to debug this way using your version. Here are a couple screenshots of POGS crunching on your test version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zfzi2uydh30sc59/pogs_berkeley_android1.png https://www.dropbox.com/s/lz019q27f7orjj0/pogs_berkeley_android2.png If you need a hand doing further testing or whatever let me know. I'm very keen on ARM related projects. Cheers Daniel On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 8:25 PM, Daniel Carrion <dcarrio...@gmail.com>wrote: > Thanks for the response.
