Android 4. Deleted BOINC, can't redownload from Play Store. Options?
I was having issues with one of my phones not crunching. I tried restarting, clearing the data, and trying again. Nothing worked.

So, I uninstalled it.

Went to Play Store looking for BOINC and I don't see it there.

Do I have any options with re-installing Android BOINC?

Is there an APK I could perhaps side load?

Upgrading the Android version is not an option.

Yeah...I went to add 2 phones over the weekend and noticed it was missing in the Play Store. I had to go to the Berkeley site to download it as well.

Hmm, I think I have an old tablet running Android 4.1 - I don't know what BOINC version it has, but I guess old versions have to die at some point right? The touch screen was going batty with the Android tablet, but if I turn the screen off, it crunches work units! So, I've kept it plugged in while it works on OpenZika units! :)

If you need an older version just change the link to the version you are looking for. Also, if your device only crunches when the screen is off, that is typically an option within the preferences within BOINC for Android.
