Im running Los17+ on an original N6 shamu image. I just ran a Treble test on it and it says I could run 64bit OS or Recovery because the hardware will support it? Any thoughts? I'm willing to try out different ideas or combination of software to test it if a developer is willing to guide me a bit if a crash. I'm old Windows Novell geek ...some what trainable... LOL. Thanks
Shamu is 32 Bit.
No chance to go full treble.
Treble was dead; flashship dont support treble; hope from heartly developer for all device

For a long waiting, Android 8 is finally here.
And ZR has working for 4 years
I wonder if our phone will have an Oreo update?
It would be cool, and a chance to revive our phone.
Thanks.
I read somewhere that it will only be available for devices with 64bit processors, so i highly doubt it

But my Cancro got it, I'm using it now
Dogo will get Oreo update.Android support both 32 and 64 Bit Architecture.
Is there a way to leave the firmware as it is and only increase it to 64bit without changing much?
no, thats not how that works at all.

The only possibility of getting to 64-bit is if motorola releases 64-bit source code after launch, and then someone creates a custom rom using it. This actually happened with the original Moto Z Play, so there is a chance. But we're not there yet.

Is it possible that it gets 64bit with the pie update?

Likely only if a device originally shipped with the 64 bit OS (e.g. G6 Plus). If you've got the G6 with a 32 bit OS, the update would likely be 32 bit, with you requiring custom development for a 64 bit custom ROM. From what I understand, moving from 32 bit to 64 bit may need a device wipe, which a lot of users (especially non-XDA or non enthusiast users) may not understand or happy with if that was mandatory for a system update.
What's the point in having 64bit on this device?

As far as I know, mainly the reason for wanting 64 bit on the G6 would be to use certain apps that are only 64 bit (e.g. Google Camera and in this case, fortnite). The G6 has 4 GB of RAM so the memory addressing advantage wouldn't be in use (unlike the G6 plus which can include up to 6 GB apparently), though could be argued you may get better performance from 64 bit. However, drivers may have to be re written or modified from the 32 bit system to work on the 64 bit, even if you could flash the 64 bit custom ROM, there may be bugs.
As a non-developer, it would be my assumption that the bootloader and vendor files would have to know how to interact with 64bit parameters. Despite our hardware supporting 64bit, the underlying software must support it as well. Like others have said, Motorola would have to release the source or build it for us.
I dont know a lot about this, but i think the Moto G5 Plus community got it.
They did the firmware 64 bit despite the fact that Motorola didnt do anything

@dejello is working on 64bit support. last i heard he had a 64bit kernel working in TWRP with a working display.
Guys plz share all benefits of 64bit os over 32 bit os. We can have 64 bit pie update I would request all of you to kindly provide them with all techinacal benefits here https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Moto-G...ncompatiblity-for-some-apps/m-p/4287821#M6880

I'm sorry, but the only way we can expect 64 bit Android on our phones is through custom ROMS. Motorola would have to rework too much of the OS for the G6 to be 64 bits and would probably take a full wipe to do so, risking losing of data and stupid users suing them for it.
I hope we can get official LineageOs with 64 bit one day, that would be ideal.

Then can release 64 bit pie OTA update we just have to agree them on the same

Xiaomi has recently said that Redmi 6A will neither get Android 9.0 Pie update nor MIUI 11 update. So it's only a matter of time before they stop providing updates at all, including security or bugfix updates.
So, has anyone been trying to develop a custom ROM for this device? To inform everyone concerned, it's kernel sources have already been released. Also, I'm no developer, but due to the fact that this device supports Project Treble, it shouldn't be too hard to build a ROM for it. Or at least someone could try and build an arm64 version of the ROM, if possible (This device has a 32bit ROM running on a 64bit processor).
So I politely ask the developers present here on this forum to try and make a custom ROM for Xiaomi Redmi 6A. We'll all be thankful.
i don't know how many mediatek devices out there have custom roms, but i think it's not as easy as qualcomm devices to have custom roms.
i've tried many GSI images on my 6A and none booted, despite this device being compatible with Treble. Also i've read in some sites that it will indeed receive the miui 11 update, we just don't know when.
I really hope someone make an actual rom for our device, because this Treble and GSI thing is just an unneccessary ummount of hassle and the result seems to be rather buggy judging from all fixes and patches you have to flash after flashing a GSI.
Anyone can port Pie 9.0 rom from Oukitel C15 Pro Helio A22 chipset?

As far as I know, this device has a 64 bit processor, yet the ROM is 32 bit. Any idea why is it like this?

it's an ARMv7 processor, if you want to test GSI roms you need an ARM/A only GSI image. I've finally been able to install a custom GSI image that works properly, albeit with minor bugs. Still a proper custom ROM is unbeatable in my opinion.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, this device has Helio A22 chipset, with Cortex A53 processor, which is ARMv8 64bit.
https://www.mediatek.com/products/smartphones/mediatek-helio-a22
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A53
Only the ROM (including the kernel and everything) seems to be 32bit.
Flashing an arm64 GSI wont work, because other partitions like vendor will still be 32 bit, and thus make the GSI incompatible. We'll probably need a real custom ROM with all its components compiled as 64 bit.

If the cpu has 64bit support then i don't know why they didn't use it. But so far we only have ARM GSI as an option for custom rom.
translate: this is a tutorial made in Indonesia that makes the vendor redmi 6a / 6 certus = cactus / cereus to boot the arm64 rom, the rom uses the nusantaraos rom https://nusantararom.org/

Hello to all,
For t715 with Exynos processor, it is a 64 bit ROM on XDA?
I don't find any thread with...
Anyone know about this?
I appreciate any feedback.
Hello,
While the Exynos processor is compatible with 64bit instructions, Samsung never enabled it from the kernel. No device with this processor was ever released with a 64bit version of the kernel, thus, all custom ROMs are forced to use what's currently available: 32bit ARM instructions.
Since the processor first got used inside the Galaxy Note 4 (which was launched on Android 4.4, before Android supported 64bit instructions) Samsung had to use a 32bit kernel. It was not worth the extra effort in rewriting the entire kernel from the ground up just to make it compatbile with 64bit instructions. And now here we are, 6 years later.
Hope that cleared up any question you might have had left. Have a nice day!
