I don't have this device, but I'm pretty sure most likely has a 64 bits processor. You can confirm it yourself by installing and checking an app like Device Info (or similar) from Play Store.

Will we have Android 8 Roms?

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

Is it really? I mean, the Exynos variant is 64 bit capable, is it not? I know Samsung never did anything with it's still a 64 bit chip

Being capable is one thing, Being disabled in boot-loader level is another. Yes the 5433 Can handle 64bit. However in Note 4s case. The bootloader is locked to 32bit, which means the kernel is locked to 32bit, which means its impossible to run 64bit libs on the OS. even if you somehow managed to source 5433 64Bit libs (which is impossible unless you are samsung)
Take another example. my other device the J530F (Galaxy J5 Pro) it has an exynos 7870 which is a 64Bit enabled chip, However the bootloader is Also 64bit capable (which means the kernel is 64bit which it is) so a device like that, it could be debatable that it could get 64bit if someone we source 7870 64bit libs. But Note 4s case, its just not possible. regardless of android version

Aaah, got it. Thanks for clearing that up
I guess even if it was possible, there's not much you would be able to actually do to take advantage of the 64 bits with just 3 GIGs of RAM, right?

Aside from RAM , the main benefit would be using 64bit apps, so Bixby voice/vision for example.

Well.....we might have a chance of getting Google Camera to work on the Note 4 if that's possible

Hello, sorry for late question. May I ask how you realized that it's a 32bit-only bootloader?
I am trying to mainline this device, and there is support for exynos5433 on the mainline kernel. However it is only in the arm64 folder, so if the bootloadfer is 32 only i don't think its possible to mainline. thanks!

64bit Rom

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.

New canary version with 32 bits

Just a question. I am using a device (Galaxy A6+) with 32 bits, and I can not use the current canary version. Will next stable magisk version support 32 bit or only 64 bits?
Thanks a lot

64bit ROM for Redmi 9c

Guys...I understand that this forum is devoted to solving Redmi 9c issues and providing software....I just am asking if anyone has 64bit ROM for this device....since google is closing in on 32bit apks and this is becoming a problem for Redmi 9c users...anyone please chip in to help if you have any means...Thanks!

this phone has a 32-bit vendor means nothing 64-bit won't work on it. Unless xiaomi will publish 64-bit vendor or make the MIUI 12.5 update 64-bit but i don't think they will.

nope. 9c has 64 bit hardware but only comes with 32 bit vendor. Therefore, a 64bit vendor is possible

i did not say that this phone has 32-bit hardware, it does not, i know that the G35 is a 64-bit CPU.

i said that vendor is 32-bit not the hardware
Guys, all it takes is an acknowledgement of saying something that's misleading.
Gabiblocks ought to have clarified in his 1st response that even though t pgone has 64b hardware ....
I too wud hv been misled hadn't I'd known better.

I have good news for you there is a 64 bit ROM compatible with the redmi 9C it is CR-DROID under Android 11 the disadvantage is that to flash this rom you must already be under MIUI 12.0.10 . there is also a problem with the network which is fixed by installing a magisk module (hotspot) and there is low sound during calls. And it takes the NikGapps.I will make a post for the tutorial

This is exactly what I've been hoping for! You'd be doing a great service by posting/linking to the post! If not, could you maybe point me in the right direction or where to search for it?
It's downright annoying running a 32bit ROM on a v8-a chip
