1) Message boards : Android : BOINC app is too simple
Message 68220
Posted 10 Mar 2016 by ProfileJorma Oikarinen 		Hello !

I just noticed how basic and closed the official BOINC app is . And my question is, Will the Android app be ever like the desktop one ? Or at least like the 3rd paty NativeBOINC which I currently use

I mean :

-Being able to see/abort/retry transfers (In my case , I need to "Retry" several times since my mobile broadband is pretty slow)

-Include the "--allow_remote_gui_rpc" option in order to manage the client from our desktop computer

-Having the option to "Run always"


Well.. I'm not sure if the app is still under development or reached its "highest point" , But I remember the Beta version were even better

Greetings !

In my case I set the Manager to use the GPU only when the computer has been idle (no mouse / keyboard action) for 3 minutes and solved the issue .

Posted 19 Oct 2015 by ProfileJorma Oikarinen 		Hello! Is there any way to establish a connection to the Android BOINC client using the PC manager ? I tried using the phone's local IP , But went unsuccesful . Maybe the gui_rpc_remote option is not enabled ? I can't either find the password browsing the root filesystem.

Posted 5 Feb 2015 by ProfileJorma Oikarinen 		Hello ! I need help with this unusual question , i have got 2 PCs , My main computer is fast as hell and crunches for BOINC 24/7 , however , i got the second one at my office , which is reaaaally slow and not useful for projects(Via C3M @ 800mhz) i want this computer to monitorize the client of the fast one

The fast one has enabled the " --allow_remote_gui_rpc " feature , i want to make a short script on the slow one to launch the manager and connect automatically.

Something like this : " boincmgr --host (main computer's IP) --password xxxx

Is it possible ?

Thanks
