 Hi everyone. I saw in the Wiki Boinc was available for android 2.3 and further, but the app in GooglePlay is for 4.1 at least. Is there an apk available for 2.3, maybe a legacy one? I still have some Android 2.3 devices. |

 Boinc 7.4.37 was built without PIE support: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.4.37.apk Don't think 7.4.39 will work, as they increased the from minSdkVersion="9" to android:minSdkVersion="16" for that version, don't know why through. Claggy |

 Boinc 7.4.37 was built without PIE support: Thanks. So is 7.4.39 release compatible with 2.3 ? I am asking the same, why min version api 16? I saw it in the source code's manifest too. |

 Boinc 7.4.37 was built without PIE support: Not sure, probably not, that's why i gave you the link to 7.4.37, that doesn't have PIE support, so will work on devices that don't support PIE. Claggy |
