And yes i've read the other threads about it, there's no hamburger either on the "buttons" of the device nor boinc itself or anything else. After installing boinc i get this screen and can continue no further: Boinc 7.4.41 Andriod 5.0.1 |

That's 8 out of the 13 Android projects. Does your list extend to another page? What's the name of one the projects that you're trying to add? |

It IS relevant, because those 13 are the only ones that will be recognized. If you mean that you can't add any of those 13, then that's a different question to what you asked. |

I am trying to add a project that is NOT on the list and am unable to do so. Any help would be appreciated. |

Boinc 7.4.41 But what kind of device is this on? What do those triangle, circle and square buttons do? Having that bit of basic information would be nice, so someone could possibly go look it up. |

Boinc 7.4.41 It's a tablet, the triangle is "back", the circle "home" and the square brings up images of the applications I've recently used, that I can then scroll like a flip book through and just tap to re-open. |

Boinc 7.4.41 Hello, if you are trying to add a project that is not on the list then I believe you do this: Go to Project > then click on the three buttons to the right of the plus sign, that should bring up Add project by URL > After that add the url of the project as if you are adding it through your BOINC program on you desktop. I think I had an issue like this before where I was not able to see the Citizen Science Grid project. After I did that it shows up on my BOINC android app. Hope this helps :) I actually have the opposite problem where a lot of the projects on that list do not run Android apps, but still show up. Hopefully the android app will get more work. |

Boinc 7.4.41 OK, so how do I get project to appear from wherever it is? |

Boinc 7.4.41 Ahh, I see what you mean. I think the trick would be to actually attach to one of the projects that you see on that list. After that you would be taken to the menu that allows you to follow my directions above. Not perfect, but then you would be able to add your other project and you can always remove the "default" projects that are on the list after you add the one you want. Hopefully they will fix that issue in future updates. Let me know if that works for you. |

It's a tablet Brand? Model? Password to the secret partition? |

Can you show me an image of the first view of BOINC, the one you start BOINC with without any projects visible? Edit: never mind this question, I see that you already did in your first image. But what happens when you long-press your recent apps button (square) while in the choose projects menu in BOINC? |

Uninstalled and popped it back on again in case something was different: But what happens when you long-press your recent apps button (square) while in the choose projects menu in BOINC? Nothing, just the same as a short press. |

I reinstalled BOINC 7.4.41 and see its behaviour is now different from how I documented it before. I no longer have the menu option in BOINC, nor does long- or short-pressing the 'recent' button give me the option to add an URL of my own. I have forwarded this to the developers, because it now looks as if something somewhere has changed, without explanation. |

Once attached you’ll go to the attached projects list when BOINC is restarted. So, attach to a project before the menu button, and thus the add URL of your own option becomes available. |

Once attached you’ll go to the attached projects list when BOINC is restarted. So in order to add a project not on the list I have to add a project on the list first? Seriously? Yeah, not happening. I decide what projects I attach to, not someone else. And window of opportunity is my favourite episode. |
