It's an old(er) version of the Asteroids app.

Another thing I've noticed: when I suspend BOINC, the popup in the notification bar disappears; it only appears while BOINC is running.

I've been getting Einstein on my Android 9.

Rosetta does produce work occasionally (I was fortunate enough to get two task a couple of days ago, on an Android 12), but the server status page is currently reporting none available to send out. Ralph hasn't had any tasks for awhile.

So far I've notice one difference: before, I would have an issue with trying to run more than one Rosetta task at a time; it would usually bring up the "battery" issue ('Battery needs to be at xx%, battery currently at yy% [usually at some value higher than xx]') within a couple of hours. Now, I've managed to run two Rosetta tasks for nearly three hours without any pauses.

EDIT: This is on the Android 12, with 2.8+ GB RAM.

I did my occasional check of the download page, and saw that version 8.0.0 is now available to download. I now have it installed on three handsets: Android 9, 11 Go, and 12. They are currently running tasks, and will see soon how they deal with task-switching.

I have a screen shot but am unsure how to add it to this post.


As far as I know, to the best of my knowledge...

You would first need to upload the screenshot to a hosting website (Google Photos, Photobucket, etc.), then link to it in a post using the [img] BBC code.

Just to clarify, this is Rubning Mint within VirtualBox, and trying to get work from within that instance? Or is this something else?

It's a known issue (e.g. "Annoying Bug"), with some discussion on how to fix it in a future version.

Universe@Home seems to have gone down in the last 15-20 minutes. The only reason I noticed is it sends an "update" of some sort (especially when tasks are running), and it currently has a back off timer of about 10 minutes. Trying to access the front page results in a stalled page load.
13) Message boards : Android : Resetting project "debt" (Message 113056)
Posted 10 Nov 2023 by JLDun
Post:
In a future version, would it be possible to add a feature to reset the "debts" between each project? (e.g.- If, for some reason, Einstein has run for 30+ hours more than Asteroids in the past two weeks, 'reset' them back to near-equivalent run times)
14) Message boards : Android : Running three projects; deadlines in the next two weeks; expected behavior. (Message 113033)
Posted 2 Nov 2023 by JLDun
Post:
I am currently running Asteroids@Home, Einstein@Home, and Universe@Home on a Nokia C100/N152DL, two cores (it has 4 total, but as we know, BOINC works better running on just half of the cores at a time). Due to fiddling around with one of the settings, I currently have:
* Asteroids: 6 WUs, deadline November 10 11:45 UTC, expected runtimes ~22-23 hours
* Universe: 20 WUs, deadline November 13 23:44 UTC, expected runtimes ~12-15 Hours
* Einstein: 16 WUs November 11 0:43 UTC, expected runtimes ~15-16 hours.

It is currently running 2 A@H tasks concurrently, and has been for a couple of days. I would expect, given that it would finish the Asteroids tasks before the deadline even using just one core (I have BOINC running nearly 24/7) that it would also try to switch in tasks from one of the other projects. I know that some of them are going to likely time out anyway, but why not try to get in as many as possible? This is version 7.24.1.

On the /dl/ page, seeing 7.22.1 is available.

Any news on this?

Why isn't the newest version in the Play store btw?


From what I understand... Google change its policies to disallow apps that download other apps/programs, which each project needs in order to run. (Apparently if you app is already posted from before the change, it is still available, but just won't be allowed to update after that.)
17) Message boards : Questions and problems : How to receive tasks that need less than 4 hours to run... (Message 111137)
Posted 27 Feb 2023 by JLDun
Post:
It depends on the project, and how long their tasks are expected to run.

(As an aside, on Rosetta@Home they have an option where you can pick the task length, from 2 hours to 1.5 days, in increments of two hours. There's no guarantee that every task will only run that long, though.)

I just tried installing on an Amazon Fire HD 8, and it wouldn't install. (Had that problem with 7.18.1 as well; it's currently running 7.16.16.)

Post:
New setting: "Always expand Task Information"

New feature: "Disk Usage" (on the Project 'tab')
- Universe is showing 1.66 MB
- Einstein is showing 25.18 MB

Granted credit for both appears to be correct.
