Kindle Fire 7in (the $50 cheapo one) 5th generation, running the Amazon version of android (https://developer.amazon.com/appsandservices/solutions/devices/kindle-fire/specifications/01-device-and-feature-specifications)

Installed the 5.9.x to the SD card, not the internal memory, as per the online instructions on the nativeboinc website if you're having issues.

Given the instructions from this link, your english has improved dramatically, and I'm confused/lost as to what I should do to fix the problem. http://nativeboinc.org/site/for_users/troubleshoot

I've reinstalled it on the internal memory, installed the 4.7.x (or whatever 4 version it is).

I've done a bunch of BOINC installations of various kinds on various computers - linux, mac and windows, and I got nativeboinc to work on a MID android tablet (google play store app killed itself, so download nativeboinc.apk to microsd card) running android 2.2 to pool.gridcoin.co account manager - that's my ultimate goal for this tablet.

I've done all of my installations by transferring the apk files to a microsd card, then using a file manager to install the app from there.

I've reinstalled nativeboinc to the internal storage, to the external card, installed the 4.7.x version, the 5.9.x version. Uninstalling takes about 5 minutes, while installing takes about 2.

Here's a curveball for ya - if I install the official BOINC android nonnightly app from the website (https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php), I get a different error when I try to run nativeBOINC - something (I forget the entire error) about native client, and the message about unable to get access password goes away.

If you can't help me or I give up, I'm going to attempt to put cyanogen mod on it so that I can get nativeBOINC to work.
