Installation of the NativeBOINC is easy and can be made by newbie Android users. To install NativeBOINC, enter to GooglePlay and enter 'nativeboinc' on the search field and get application. If you installing from my site, before main operation you should enable one of the certain option on the system settings: 'Unknown sources' (this option can be found at Settings->Applications or Settings-Security in the new Android 4.0 kinds). This option allow to you install application from internet or SDCard. In my site, NativeBOINC available as standalone binary file is here.
Enabling the required option: Unknown sources
After downloading and running the (NativeBOINC) main application, you will see first installation screen. Choose installation place for main BOINC directory (internal device memory or SDCard memory) and simply click on the 'Next' button. Downloading and the first running of BOINC client will have been performed.

Next screen will have two options, which you will can use at installation. There are 'Access password' and 'Hostname'. First option allow to you determine password, which will be used during the authorizing remote connection with other BOINC manager (for example on the desktop PC). In this case, password is needed to make remote connection. Next option is the hostname setting. You can use to choose own hostname.

In this step you can choose from two ways to add first project. First option is standard 'Add project', but you can add project via BAM ('Synchronize BAM'), which facilitate management of the your project accounts (very often used by BOINC volunters). We recommended to use second option, when you are using BAM.
An Adding project by the standard 'Add project' is easy. Simply, choose project from list of the supported projects (this is next screen) and choose 'Create account' or 'Lookup account' when you have now project account (yet another screen), and fulfill fields. Finally click on the 'Add project' button.

An Adding project via BAM is also easy. Fulfill two fields (username, and password) and click on the 'OK' button. Next, you can speedup an adding project by using 'Synchronize with BAM' (in Manage Client menu) option after installation. BOINC doesnt automatically synchronizes with BAM and this this operation will be needed.

 Waiting for benchmark finish... |
NOTICE: Before installing a project application, BOINC will run benchmark, which will take over 30 seconds.
After successful installation you should see last installation screen. Just click on 'Finish'.
