I managed to install BOINC 8.0.4 on an Android/Google TV (made by FPD), connect to WUProp and Einstein, and tweek some of the settings (like CPU usage and storage space). There appear to be two things I can't do: * Bring up the per-project menu that allows setting "no new tasks" or detaching. I can select the project entry, and the grey highlight will flash to show BOINC knows I pushed the select button, but no menu popup. * On the task list, I can apparently only expand the first task to see task details. I have not yet tried the "Expand all tasks" option in the main settings menu. Also, it appears to default to the default "1 billion ops/sec" for 'Measured floating point speed' and 'Measured integer speed', as reported to the projects. Some of the TV details, as reported by BOINC to WUProp: Domain name android_091b7a80 Product name KTC EcoTV A - SDK: 30 ABI: armeabi-v7a Local Standard Time UTC -6 hours Created 30 Jan 2025, 3:56:54 UTC Total credit 2 Average credit 0.20 CPU type ARM ARMv7 Processor rev 0 (v7l) [Impl 0x41 Arch 7 Variant 0x2 Part 0xd05 Rev 0] Number of processors 4 Coprocessors --- Virtualization None Operating System Android 4.14.187+-ab351 (Android 11) BOINC version 8.0.4 Memory 1.5 GB Swap space 0.59 GB Total disk space 4 GB Free Disk Space 2.42 GB Measured floating point speed 1 billion ops/sec Measured integer speed 1 billion ops/sec Average upload rate 6144.37 KB/sec Average download rate 3052.76 KB/sec https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ |

Update with some random trivia: * I can stop BOINC as a whole, using the button on the upper right. (This was tested before I attached any projects.) * Event log does have entries; logging appears to be happening. * A WUProp task has returned, validated, and the Einstein hours were logged. * After 1+ hours, the running Einstein tasks haven't crashed. Will find out if they complete and validate in the next 12+ hours of runtime. (Experience on phones is Einstein takes around 14 hours. Validation isn't certain on any specific device running tasks, but is usually 80%+.) https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ |

Can you can use a desktop PC and something like BoincTasks to see/change various settings, tasks, etc? |

Don't have access to a desktop; just some android phones and the new TV. https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ |
