Device: Asus TF700T freshly flashed to KatKiss 7.1.2
BOINC: play store one, 7.4.53

It installed but shows empty space where list of projects to add should be.
If I tap "Continue" it reminds to add to project (very sarcastic version it seems :/).

What to do?

Unfortunately, NativeBOINC has "unable to get access password" issue on this device under this OS so official Android build is the only way to use this device for good.

Going back to 7.4.43 fixes most problems: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.4.43.apk
(Can be installed by temporarily allowing Install from Unknown Sources from Settings ->Security, or Settings->Advanced settings)

Thanks, Jord, will try.
Just to have note that with such severe issue would be better to remove . 53 from Play store. It's counterproductive for new participants attraction to put buggy as default, especially for general audience that Play store represents.
People will just rate it by 1 star and go away...

To finish this case: BOINC 7.4.43 shows list of projects OK and I was able to connect to SETI with it.

Unfortunately that setup unworkable still (constant tablet reboots) but not sure if it's linked with BOINC and it will constitute different case.
Thanks for help.
