Download link please for this miner as I want to try it out.

i 2nd this!

+1 and also a litecoin address to donate back to the op!

I'm mining away at 7.21 h/s right now just seeing if it works.  I like the settings page a lot more than the previous setup.

That's using pooler's JMiner. It was a mistake I made when I coded my first Android LTC Miner. It's too slow and worthless, and was the reason I removed it from the Google Play Store. Now that I compiled the C version CPU Miner, It's a lot faster and more efficient rather than using Android's JVM. And yes, the miner already has a UI

Any chance of making it compatible with Android 2.2? I want to burn out my cheap tablet by trying this, but it only has Froyo and can't be updated.

It will be compatible with Android 2.1 and up.

So 0.1 is JMiner-based? I get
18 H/s on an atrix (tegra 2, dual core (1 thread), 1GHz, A9, neutrino rom (android 2.3.7))
35 H/s on an atrix (tegra 2, dual core (2 threads), 1GHz, A9, neutrino rom (android 2.3.7))
16 H/s on a Galaxy S (hummingbird, single core, 1GHz, A8, cyanogenmod 9)

Both at normal priority. So the nexus 7 should get > 80 H/s on Jminer.

12 h/s on HTC Envy  

Edit: Wont let me set the miner as a service so cant do it in the background yet.

I just sent it to my Nexus 7, I'll post results in a bit

lol i wonder what my iphone would hash at....damn...i guess i gotta wait until its built for ios.

By then I might have mined half a ltc

In case you guys are wondering, the current LTC miner on Google Play Store isn't mine. Mine is called AndLTC Miner which in 3 days will be up. I'm currently on vacation with the family... be back on Thursday or Friday.

The ARM core on Kindle Fire has 128-bit registers in addition to the usual 32-bit registers. This could give a 2-4 times speedup, depending on the exact details of the core used.

Unfortunately not. I have already written a version of the scrypt core that uses NEON (it will be released in the upcoming cpuminer 2.2.3), and the speedup is only about 40% in the best case. There are various technical reasons for this, most importantly the lack of an instruction for bitwise rotation and the fact that current NEON coprocessors can only execute one instruction per cycle, with rare exceptions.
The basic ARM instruction set, on the other hand, is pretty optimal for implementing this kind of hashing functions (thanks to the barrel shifter), but of course it cannot compete with the SIMD implementations of performance-oriented architectures.

An example: a Samsung Galaxy S II (dual-core Cortex-A9 at 1200 MHz) can do about 1.64 khash/s with the current cpuminer code (hand-written ARM assembly), and about 2.3 khash/s with the to-be-released NEON implementation. The speedup is even more modest on Cortex-A8 processors.

this is important stuff, and I guess shows how an arm based system designed to mine litecoin might perform. at 125w, about 166 arm cortex a9 cpus could thus mine only approximately 210khs if I'm doing the math right (cortex cpu ~ 750mW when running neon code fully loaded).

I really don't want to put pressure into you doing this, but are there any updates? Don't forget to tell us when you achieve some more progress...

[Simran]

The app is out on Google PlayStore! Read OP!

[gbl08ma]

When I asked you to make it compatible with Android 2.2, it was because I was already guessing it would only be compatible with 2.3 and up, like most Bitcoin and Litecoin apps. I guess it's some problem related to certain libraries not being present on 2.2...

[Simran]

The mistake I made was that compiled the miners using the 2.3 toolchain.

I'm running LTCMiner now on my Galaxy SIII and am getting 61.867 hs/s

You can get faster speeds if you use my Android Miner... 0_o
Why does everyone think that's my Android miner? Maine's in the OP.

So I just installed yours, I'm getting for thread 0 = 1.09 khash/s and for thread 1 = 1.15 khash/s

Not bad for a phone pulling in roughly 2.25 khash/s


This app is definitely faster, but I did like the fact the other client could save your profile, where as this app requires you input your data everytime.
