Running latest Play Store version of BOINC on LG Optimus G Pro with Android Kit Kat. BOINC was running fine for months but this morning it said that there was nothing to do. I tried restarting the phone but nothing. I noticed no projects were attached so I clicked on "Add Project" and BOINC crashed on me.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck. BOINC no longer works on my phone when it did yesterday. I uninstalled and installed an older version from the BOINC website and it won't work either.

Anybody know where BOINC stores it's data and preference files so I can wipe them clean and do a fresh reinstall?

Just uninstalling BOINC on an Android device should remove the data directory.

/data/data/edu.berkeley.boinc is where the app is installed too. If the app no longer shows up in the application list, I think it is safe to assume the data directory has been deleted.

Hmm, I can't see a data/data subfolder. I just have /data which has many app options except edu.berkeley.boinc.

I'm wondering if there is something corrupted in there that is NOT being removed when uninstalling BOINC. But I can't see the folder to verify that.

Edit - more information. It appears BOINC is working fine in the background...it's still chugging away on my phone, it's just the GUI that's crashing, not updating, and not letting me configure BOINC.

Ok I have an update. Rather than my usual method of attaching my BAM! account manager, I attached Seti@home by itself...and it works! The GUI is responsive and I have no crashes at all. I went and attached World Community Grid as well and everything still works fine.

Either it's the number of projects that it's hanging up on, it's the account manager, or it's something belonging to one of the individual projects that is causing problems. I'm not sure which one it is, and I'm also not sure why it suddenly started acting up the other day when it had been working fine for many months.

Given how it literally started happening overnight, I'm wondering if one of the executables downloaded from one of the projects gave it issues?

Can you report this at BAM as well? I'll forward it to our Android developer.

Sure. As I said, I don't know if it's an issue with BAM or with running a large number of simultaneous projects, but I'll be happy to send them a note anyways.
