Can you please remove the projects from the project list in the Android app that don't work anymore or have been discountinued or whatever, so people don't waste their time trying to make something work that doesn't work anyway?

From my testing, only WCG, asteroids, and einstein@home currently work, so please remove the other projects from the list.

kasdashdfjsah, Please quit posting FALSE INFORMATION and do you research FIRST.
Besides the projects you listed the following ALSO have Android tasks;

WuProp (nci) ALWAYS has work for Android.

Rosetta has intermittent work for Android.

Moo! Wrapper has work for [b]OLDER Android V7.0a clients ONLY[/b].

Thst first is not on the project list, and account creation is disabled.

Rosetta has unstable WU availability, and Moo wrapper doesn't work.

If projects are not on the list, and don't work on the latest devices, Android OS versions and BOINC version, they're not attractive and practical to use, in my opinion, and I won't recommend other projects than the 3 I mentioned before, and this is simply feedback, I don't care if you do anything about this issue or not, I've done my part in providing the feedback, which will give new users the best possible BOIC experience, if hard, they won't bother.

But repetitively providing the same feedback is counterproductive and will lead to the type of response that you have just seen.
