I just got a new Android phone, octacore with AArch64 Processor . 3.18.35 (Android 7.0) I run BOINC and SET@HOME. I can download work units, but within seconds of them starting, I get COMPUTATION ERROR for all units. I downloaded BOINC/SET@HOME in he last week, so fairly current , BOINC 7.4.53 Is this processor supported? and if so, what might I be missing? If not, when might it be supported. Thanks Ernest Cyber-ET |

The processor is supported, else you wouldn't get work. But Android 7 (and Android 8) isn't supported. As Eric Korpela told me and I posted in the forums several times: Yes, Google keeps changing the rules in the name of (a false sense of) security. What's worse, they keep changing the development kit so a command line build of the app no longer works. My last attempt at at an android 7 build resulted in an app that doesn't work. I hope to get a chance to try again soon.He hasn't had the time yet to fix it. If you have Android 7 or better, you can use BOINC, but not for this project. |

I am using Android 7.1.1 on an Ulefone smartphone with an ARM64 processor and a Mali GPU on board which is not used so far, but Raistmer says it could be used in the future. 801 SETI tasks run and validate,800 tasks all fail. Einstein@home tasks also run but the Einstein server does not see the GPU. Tullio |
