ARCore only works on 64-bit devices. It's possible that they're going to be releasing a 32-bit version, but some part of me wants to hope that this means the G5S Plus will be updated to 64-bit with the Oreo update.

Already Supporting....
Moto G (5S) Plus supports ARCore in Nougat. Just download ARCore APK from APKMirror and Install it. And Download AR Apps From Play Store and Start Using AR Apps.

There is no such requirement for ARCore, all that is required is the ARCore app from the play store, after which any ARCore based apps will run.
Tested on Stock Nougat.
Besides though, I think it's highly unlikely that an official stock version of 64bit oreo will be released since an upgrade to a 64bit device requires a complete wipe, which 95%+ of the user base for this phone simply would never agree to
If they do invest into find a workaround to somehow do this, I doubt they would take such an effort on a non flagship device

Yeah, they're telling as if they're working hard to build 32-64bits converted OS update just to fool customers.
As the companies like Moto&lenovo have plenty of product in line, it's really hard to concentrate on one particular product and conduct developments. You can take the examples of Samsung ( not in 2018). They had many models in their line, if they want to provide updates, they need to employ nearly 15-20 engineers only for software development and testing. But they'll not worry about this, and stay back by doing so just to save money. Because they can invest that money on new devices. Launching pros, plus and special varients?.
Whereas Companies like Oneplus have very few devices and can concentrate on product developments. So, we should take blame on ourselves for choosing this brand!
It's really very unlikely to get(even to expect) 64Bit varient

Download 'ANT Test' from the PlayStore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quantrity.anttester&hl=en
And then click on the downwards arrows to install the required services.
Then test.
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I don't yet have the A2 to test myself but would be grateful If someone could please test and confirm. I can however confirm the A1 does have it and I've used it.
Just tested here with app mentioned above.

Thanks for the test. It's likely I removed the ANT services hence they never showed.
Thanks for confirming. I use Ant+ and wanted to know before looking to upgrade.
the Xiaomi mi a2 has ant + support but after the update to Android 9 it does not work anymore. apparently the Android one version. it has not been suitable for the hardware that has the a2. the message it gives is that you do not have the ant + support in the integrated firmware
I'm running Android 9 (10.0.1.0 rooted). It's showing NO for built in hardware and HAL service not found...

Looks like Xiaomi broke it for many (all?) Phones with Android 9, I have the same issue with my A1, it used to work properly under Android 8. Really sad they fail at testing before releasing a major upgrade

I'm not sure they failed the test - they need to test it in the first place.
I create issue
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/130862180
I'm running Android 10. Following the instructions from GuestK00136 and allowing the "ANT radio service" to use ANT hardware, my MiA2 is now ANT capable.

Same issue
I have the same issue with the VOG-AL10 except I updated my EMUI version to 9.1. Im unable to find stock firmware for the VOG-AL10 to downgrade to test if it's what's causing the issue, but I've uninstalled all possible default apps and via appgallery package manager and am still failing SafetyNet Check.
You shouldn't have purchased the Chinese versions if you want SafetyNet.
There is no Google, and therefore no SafetyNet on phones intended for sale in Mainland China. This is nothing new. Don't try to save a few bucks by getting a Chinese version unless you know what you're buying and root + Magisk are documented possibilities.

Making baseless assumptions honestly isn't going to help anyone. Fwiw, I didn't have much of a say in the matter so I'm just trying to make the best out of the situation. Here's what I get when I run SafetyNet Check with the latest versions of: Google Play Services, Google Play Store and Google Services Framework. I'm likely just going to wait to see if ppl ever release VOG-AL10 firmwares for download, although I'm not sure if the original stock firmware will even fix the issue.
EDIT: nvm, can't post a picture, but essentially the following checks fail:
APK Package name match
Signing Certificate match
CTS Profile match
Basic Integrity

The only way to make it pass safetynet is to get rooted and use magisk as for all phones sold for Mainland China market. There is no other way to get it working (or pay and use Funky Huawei to "unbrand" your phone and change firmware region).
Good luck.

Did anyone manage to get Minecraft Earth working on Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite?

I installed the latest versions of Minecraft Earth & ARCore from 4pda forum and it works(at least it doesn't crash). Sometimes, the "Licence error" appears, so I need to reinstall the app. I can walk and, but when I try to use AR, it gets stuck on the "make sure you're in a safe location while using AR" screen. So my question is: Did anyone manage to get Minecraft Earth working on Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite without root?

You need to install ARcore from play store. Versions downloaded from any other place won't work.

Thanks... But Mi 9 Lite doesn't support ARCore. We can try writing to Xiaomi using "Services & feedback" asking to sertificate Google ARCore on Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite... :good: :good: :good:

I really don't get why Xiaomi can't give us AR support, it's not like the phone is incompatible, there are a lot of phones with Snap 710 that are supported, eg. Nokia 8.1, Oppo Reno, Realme X...

Probably licensing fees.

Yeah, and the Minecraft on Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite works excellent without bugs and errors. I think it works even better than on Samsung Galaxy A5. I'm playing on Meizu MX5 which is less powerful than your Xiaomi.

Do any good ROM's exist for Sprint version of Note 8 N950U?

It seems like everything is for the Exynos version of this phone. Just got my Note 8 today for a steal practically new for only $100, but the software bloat seems horrible. Just curious if there is any Lineage or Samsung based ROM's that would be a good starting place? All the late reviews in 2019 and here in 2020 says to install an aftermarket ROM on it and you got yourself a great device. Phone details below.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 N950USQS7DTA5 on Sprint in New Mexico USA.

The Sprint store did the factory reset for us, but given that I know my way around these devices I thought I would do my own Factory reset and start from scratch. My last Galaxy phone was the original, so I am sure things have changed since then and wanted to double check with XDA before making any mistakes. Phone currently sits 100% stock.
Any advice on a debloated ROM at the least? Or something else would be great too. Google just sends me here and all I seem to see is N950F devices, but I plan to keep on researching before I flash anything on this device, lol. EDIT: Just saw the US carriers Pie thread too for this device, and that seems to offer a pre-debloated rom.
EDIT: My guess is that there isn't much you can do with this device in the way of custom roms?

Your guess would be correct. The phone is bootloader locked that means no roms like N950F version..

Thank you for the information. Yeah I figured that was the case. Oh well, at least there is a debloated Pie rom. Maybe I can do a somewhat decent job of customizing it. But yeah I was hoping for 3rd party kernels and or LineageOS love. At least it's a better phone than the Motorola G6 that it is replacing, lol. Thanks again...

Android Auto not supported on Lollipop any more

Hello all,
I have a Samsung Android phone with the Android version 5.1.1. The phone has the Android Auto (AA) app that used to work well for connecting the phone to the car (a 2019 Honda) so that I could look at maps, control phone calls etc. on the car touchscreen.
Few months ago the app stopped working on my phone and doing some research online I have found that now AA requires a phone with Android version 6.0 or above. I know my 5.1.1 is on an old phone, but I am totally fine with that except for this problem.
It seems i can update the version on my phone to, let say, 6.0 or above. This is not an update my phone lets me do easily. I see that the procedures for this update require to go through the developer mode and before doing it i want to make sure i am not messing up. I am reading on the web about rooting the phone, about custom getting a ROMs based on higher versions of Android, extracting an APK for the AA app, etc., and about people that doing these operations have messed up their phone.
I am sure that tons of you have done these operations so I am looking for some advices and maybe past experiences. The phone is a Samsung Grand Prime SM-G530AZ
Thanks a lot!
Have you tried to uninstall AA apk from your phone and then to sideload an older version from apkmirror? Just search the internet to find out what architecture your phone has and then download and install an older version of AA from apkmirror site. Try this repeatedly backwards in time until you find the AA version that works with Android 5.
It is much more easier than to upgrade your phone's Android version, if the upgrade was not officially released.

I have tried to install an older version of AA, but then the App wants to update when it is launched. I was not able to block that. :mad
1. You can not install an older version on top of a newer one.
2. If you do everything as I instructed you, then when you find the version that's working, you go to the Play Store to your installed apps, find the AA app and disable the auto update.
See attached picture as an example. Your Play Store might look differently because of the android version, but you should get the idea where and what to look for.
