You can use the local GUI BoincTasks from the play store. Remotely you can use BoincTasks or the Boinc Manager. A new version that resolves connection issues with BoincTasks. https://efmer.com/android/download-boinc-for-android/
7) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103924 Posted 10 Apr 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	The next version will include a Windows exe installer, that should work just fine. Microsoft won't accept the app, because the BOINC client isn't in the App store, so maybe one day. You do know there already is a Windows version of BoincTasks.

More info is on the website, but just as myself, most don't read the manual. https://efmer.com/ click on BoincTasks -> BoincTasks Js
11) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103590 Posted 18 Mar 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	I got BoincTasks-Js working finally. The UI is quite hard to figure out. Only ever attempt to Edit one host at a time is the trick to making it work. The interface is different from BoincTasks original. I made some changes to address most if not all of your problems.
12) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103577 Posted 17 Mar 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	Both Deb and the Snapstore are available again. Tested on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS https://efmer.com/boinctasks-js/boinctasks-js-download/
13) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103573 Posted 17 Mar 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	The new deb package 1.06 should work.
14) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103536 Posted 14 Mar 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	It doesn't run as installed from the Snap Store. Running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS and the GLIBC 2.31 library as stock installation. I will check, it passed all the checks, but something is wrong.
15) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103535 Posted 14 Mar 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	The debian installation installed correctly. But no computers will connect. Won't let me enter the host passwords. The log is looking for the password in the wrong place. I don't have my BOINC installation located in the default location. BOINC is installed in /home/Desktop . The password... Do Computers -> Edit and you should be able to enter it. Reading the password file is probably futile as it's not accessible .
16) Message boards : Questions and problems : BoincTasks Js Message 103508 Posted 13 Mar 2021 by Fred - efmer.com	BoincTasks Js with all the ideas of BoincTasks build from the ground up, to be compatible with Linux, Mac and Windows.

17) Message boards : Android : BOINC for BoincTasks on Android Message 101681 Posted 21 Nov 2020 by Fred - efmer.com	Interesting. I'll run down my current v7.16.3 APK's cache, and take it for a spin. See how it gets on with my current rpc clients: BOINC Manager for Windows and BoincView (an oldie, but a goodie!). It should be compatible with any manager, if you disable "Use a secure password"

20) Message boards : GPUs : Inconsistent GPU enumeration: gpus: 0,1,2.. different for additional cards Message 86190 Posted 12 May 2018 by Fred - efmer.com	The GPU assignment is handled by the BOINC client. In case the cards are reversed this is how to solve this: Add <Device_position> to the GPU_SETUP <GPU_SETUP> <Device_position>0;1;3;2</Device_position> </GPU_SETUP> This switches reading of the third and fourth card. for an example file look here: C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle\examples Move the real file here: C:\Program Files\eFMer\TThrottle and restart TThrottle.
