Hi guys! I have some questions to you. I have Android phone with only 1GB of storage for applications and I use BOINC with connected SETI@Home and Einstein@Home. And I have a problem that BOINC applications uses > 100 MB that is too much for my phone. When I remove SETI@Home (there are no tasks for this project at that moment of time and application uses 120 MB of storage) and then add it again SETI@Home downloads 1 new task (I want to repeat: there was no SETI@Home tasks before) but I see that now BOINC uses only 80 MB and even with one new task! So as I understand there is some old files which can be removed without any risks. So I see several possibilities to solve such kind of problems: 1 - Make an option to remove unused files (even if they will be download again later). Here we have risks of using too much traffic but some warning can be added here too. 2 - Make a possibility to move unused files to external storage (or even all files except executables and very neccessary files). I understand that than we can't start some project if we have external storage unmounted due to some reasons. But the corresponding warning can be here too. 2.1 - Maybe it will be a good decision to move to the application folder from external storage all neccessary files used by projects. Maybe you can add something else.
Also I want to say that this problem is very important to me because I want use BOINC and I don't want to remove & readd projects from time to time. I've never developed for Android platform but I can try to implement behavoiur if you can give me an advice how to do it better because I don't know BOINC architect as good as you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime: email: [email protected] skype: aenvampire phone: +380689724910 or +380663256789 Thank you all!
