I know my phone is not exactly contributing a ton, but I do like having Seti@Home running on it....

Recently I decided that I was going to keep my Nexus 6 for another year or so. It's battery life hasn't been great (it's three years old after all) and so, after some research, I installed the Pure Nexus ROM and the Franco kernel, as that combination showed up in several boards as being good for allowing power savings. Everything works great...except Seti@Home. Every task returns a "computation error". I've never really had any issues with it before, so I'm not even sure how to go about investigating what's going on.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Forgot some info...

BOINC v 7.4.53
SETI@Home v8
PureNexus version 7.0-20161116...shows as Android 7.0
Motorola Nexus 6 phone

When I look in the event log, I see entries like
Computation for task 24fe07ad.12634<blah blah> finished
Output file 24fe07ad.12634<blah blah> for task 24fe07ad.12634<blah blah> absent

Android 7.0
There is the problem. Seti's science applications only work up to Android 6, not on any above due to Google changing some key libraries. The Seti developer is aware of the situation, but has no fix yet. Nothing you can do, other than not crunch Seti, but instead perhaps another project (although, ask them first if their apps are Android 7 compliant).
