The above page say that BOINC 7.24.1require Android 4.1 or above. So my android 7.0 tablet should be able to install the BOINC software.

Also, I would like to suggest the supported OS version be included in the release note

Post:
I am using a Raspberry Pi 4B running Ubuntu 22.04
For BOINC I am running 7.20.5 from the following source.

https://launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+archive/ubuntu/boinc

Is it possible for me to run a newer version of BOINC. E.g. 7.24.1 or above as that is already available on windows and Mac.
Either from another ppa or other mean without compiling the code.

Please offer the .apk file on BOINC client download page.
This will stop the reliance on the Google play store.

What you mentioned (edit the APK to add GRCPool to the list) is only for older version of BOINC on Android. The GRCPool is a valid option in BOINc for android now. But After I enter the username and password. It will show "fail"

Please forward this issue to the development team to fix.

I tried to add another account manager (GRCPool) to my BOINC on Android and it is also not working. So I suspect this add manager function on android is not working at all.

If I un-select "Pause computation when screen is on" in preferences and run for a few hours. My phone will shutdown without warning.
I suspect it is because the app use up all the resources on the phone.
Can someone on this forum try it on their phone to see if it is an issue that happens on other users/phone.

BOINC version. 7.16.3
Phone Samsung Note 8 SM-N950U
Android version 9

I am using acer5251 running 64 bit windows 10 home version 1909. But I cannot run the BOINC 7.14.2 (64 bit version) after I install it.
The error is "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b"

Similar to the following problem.

Can you please help me to resolve this problem.

I end up just install the 32 bit version of BOINC without Oracle VM.
