64bit os? - Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers

My kids use a Samsung A6 to play Pokémon go. It's pretty great for it. But recently just announced they are dropping support for 32bit and the A6 stock seems to be 32bit OS.
AIDA64 says 64-bit arm v8-a (32-bit mode)
What can I do to get this running as 64bit mode? thanks
Edit
This looks promising but the thread is closed
gsi-64bit-vendor-arm64-gsi-t3951110
Also mine is a sm-600fn so not sure if compatible. I've also never flashed any Samsung devices before. Not sure how similar or different they are from Nexus / htc devices...

I was searching for this too. Maybe a custom rom or rooting and then editing build.prop would work. But rooting on the A6 is hard as far as I know.

[Q] Clockwork Recovery

Has anybody heard if perhaps we could see something from unrevoked?
I love ROM MRG, use it on several of my phones.
Would love to have it on this thing too.
Dennis
If anybody is up for the challenge, they can compile Clockwork recovery for the Galaxy Tab by following these steps:
*EDIT* - seeing as how I'm not permitted to post links yet, you can find the steps by simply Googling 'porting clockwork recovery'
It's written by Koush on his website.
I don't think the SGT uses MTD though, so you'll have to use dd to dump the boot image.
I'm not up for that. I would happily do it with some help, but not on my own.
I know there are plenty of people here capable of doing this much quicker than I would. Considering I would be learning as I go.
I'm pretty good at figuring things out, but I don't have a build environment set up and really would only use it for this.
No takers?
D
Yeah,there are plenty of people capable, but weneed to wait for them to get a Tab :/

I'm happy to supply whatever is needed off mine. For some reason (maybe that I play too much) I never feel safe without a NAND backup.
What I needed to start this I am willing to help. I got the TMobile Samsung Galaxy Tab?

So does Clockwork Recovery have a lower level recovery than Titanium Backup? I am just curious because I am new to all of this and am looking for a backup solution myself.
Looking through Titanium Backup help files, it seems that you are left on your own with recovering the ROM. The ROM MRG function you mention seems it would take care of even that.
Thanks for any further light you can shed on this topic for me

I was looking into building clockwork,
But my ubuntu is being stupid and will not install java-5jdk
It will only install java6 and java 6 is incompatible.
I will look into this a little bit more.

I built the entire Android Open Source Project (AOSP Git/Repo code from the master Froyo 2.2 branch) on Ubuntu 32bits from inside a virtual machine running on Mac OS X 64 bits, using Open-JDK/SDK Java6 (v1.6). The official Android documentation says it's impossible, but there's a workaround, maybe that can help:
./core/main.mk
=> comment the "error" statement that makes the build fail when testing for: ifneq (64,$(findstring 64,$(build_arch)))
./external/clearsilver/cgi/Android.mk
./external/clearsilver/java-jni/Android.mk
./external/clearsilver/util/Android.mk
./external/clearsilver/cs/Android.mk
=> change from 64 to 32 in "LOCAL_CFLAGS += -m64" and "LOCAL_LDFLAGS += -m64"
Easy
That looks like a fix for 64-bit to 32-bit.

XBMC on WebTop

Now that we know that it is running custom version of ubuntu, anybody want try compiling and running xbmc on it ?
XBMC trunk already contains most of the patches for tegra 2 and more will applied soon according XBMC developer ( davilla ). We should be able to test it now ..
<davilla> ssh in, install build tools, git install xbmc trunk, build for tegra2 and see if it works
That would be AWESOME!! I myself was wondering about running XBMC on webtop.
I tried installing git, but apt-get threw a bunch of dependency errors. I tried "apt-get -f install" but it wanted to remove most of the installed packages because they were not needed.
Any updates ?
Instead of trying to install via git why not download the tar of it and extract it ...
Hey guys!
Any news about it?
I really would like to see XBMC on webtop´s atrix!
I found this for the bravehearts.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-
TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide
NOTE: I have not tried it. You are in the DEV section, any mod attempts that YOU make to YOUR phone are YOUR own responsibility.
It is not listed here .... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/armel?text=xbmc
So it probably has not been attempted.
I already did this steps but can´t work.
The XBMC is the most important thing to work for me on Atrix. I´ll wait for someone do that work,

I tried a couple of steps too, dependency hell. Not sure if it will be figured out in DEV section since it's more of an app thing.
I thought I saw a VM once that dev work could be done on. I'm on travel next week 10 hours of flight time plus sitting in Chicago for 3 hours both ways. Maybe I'll get motivated.
Oh man!
I hope you get motivated!
Really thanx!
You would need an x86 emulator or VM to run this I believe as it is only coded for x86. Running it through an emulator would be slow and unreliable or just plain broken most likely. Not to discourage anyone from trying.
XBMC Official Hardware Support List
Asking for a port of it would go in XBMC dev forums

Nope I've seen XBMC running on a beagleboard native, As well it ran very well. We have 2x the ram and 400mhz x2 more speed. So it should run.
I downloaded the XBMC through official site and one of the Readme file (README.armel) talks:
"
This is a port of XBMC for use on ARM Architecture.
As this is not an official version of XBMC, in-depth testing on various setups has not been done. USE WITH CAUTION!
For the purpose of this port, the following Hardware and Software was used.
Software: Scratchbox (cross-compiler) on a Linux (Ubuntu) machine.
Hardware: BeagleBoard (ARM Cortex-A8 with IMG POWERVR SGX).
The source code is based on XBMC for Linux - version 9.11 (Camelot)."
So, I think its possible to run on Atrix, correct? But I have to do a lot of hard things to try it and I´m not able to do it, but it´s a good news.
I think I'm getting lost here....
What is the intention for using XBMC within webtop? Streaming to or streaming from phone?
I've found these apps
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.plexapp.android
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.psa.android.media
http://code.google.com/p/android-xbmcremote/

Download media locally to device's SD card
Stream media to device
And here's the VM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992178
xPerfect virtual appliance - Android SDK r10 / NDK r5b - dev
dicksteele
I´ll try to explain (sorry, bad english)
I´ll conect my Atrix on dock HD and 2 hd extern (plugged on dock usb´s port).
So, trought the webtop, I open the XBMC and this show me the files (movies and tv series) on my HD´s.
XBMC has a nice e configurable interface.
I´ll look this apps!
Thanx!
Interesting......
I'd try it but going on travel tomorrow and I need my phone

Hi man.
I´d tried it (the armel version) but appears a lot of dependecies and I could´t try to install it.
Here is xbmc dev forum with it but for tegra 2 reference board though:

You need to use xbmc trunk which contains all the patches for tegra 2. Can you post what you have tried ? Any errors ?

I don't believe it's running as a VM, it's running as a full instance.
From what I can read on the XBMC threads there are some problems.
But I found a guide for the BeagleBoard that might help people get going, dont think it will run out-of-the-box with this guide.

[DEV]Chroot-Linux on Xperia Devices Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders(Debian,Ubuntu,BT5up)

Hi,
I have just bought a new Xperia Pro and Here is My first Contribution.Hope you guys like it.
I have tested it personally on the Unoffical MIUI port for PRO.But it should work on other Kernels and Xperia Devices as well.
I am posting a few Screens for you guys and as you can see lxde is already pre-installed for you guys.
Feel Free to comment

What is chroot?
A chroot image is like a Virtual Machine where you are running an O.S within an O.S.The point of this is that you have a whole Linux System running on a phone where you can ofcourse access all the utilities available in Linux.and as it runs inside of android you dont need to flash anything and can use both the chrooted O.S and Android together.
Things required:-
1)Terminal
2)Root
3)Sdcard with atleast 2GB of free space
4)A Brain

Hi! Have you tried this on stock kernel? I believe stock kernel doesn't have loop devices enabled and MIUI is a rebase of CM? Not sure though that's why I'm asking.

The Miui i used was on Stock Kernel.The Kernel Does Support Loop devices.Miui is a Rebase of CM but the loop functionality is related to Kernel.So,Yes it Works on Stock Kernel on Locked/Unlocked Bootloaders Both as we are not flashing anything.
Anyway Give Ubuntu a go.

Thanks! Just clarifying things out I haven't meddled with stock kernel that much that's why I am asking. Well the kernel sources sony provided has loop devices disabled by default glad that it's enabled on the official precompiled one.
Anyways! Try packing backtrack that should be alot useful than debian w/ lxde or a classic ubuntu image.
I got backtrack to run on Pro sometime ago when I was still using gingerbread.

Hi! seeing that you're a fanatic of these perhaps it would be useful if I give you these.
http://50.56.186.177/filez/
Those are packed and reduced sizes of debian & fedora arm images made to fit for chrooting on mobile devices. I made those for my previous device and is very stable already with 256mb RAM
the debian image is a squeeze version. Plus included is the fix for pulse audio. I'm not sure if it would work out of the box for android but with just a little bit knowledge with basic linux stuffs you could get it running perfectly

THANKS for the link...Meego wont chroot..tried it on the optimus a few months ago and failed..problem with zephyr..will give it a go later.fedora I had as well..but the thing is ...Does anyone except me even use these here????
I do but not that much. Like I said I just only tried backtrack and obviously I use it only when needed
Say do you think it would be possible to include a custom kernel on a chrooted image? It would be cool if we have backtrack here with monitor mode enabled. I think the wlan drivers/hardware of Xperia devices have the capability.
Or also try posting this thread to some other Xperia Sub forums. Arc/Pro users seem to be not very open to these kind of works. They just care on custom ROMs
In short they aren't geeky enough They aren't even that interested in dual booting.

In theory yes its possible.but changes will have to be made to the arm kernel to chroot.when u type uname in terminal the output inside the chroot is different than the android kernel.but I think native booting will be better than chrooting..not being interested is just odd....its so much fun having linux on the go

Actually I know I am going to say something Off-Topic
1) People on XDA are now the people who have got a smartphone just because they can afford one and wanna make their phone look "kewl" than the others with the same device
2) People do dumb things like cross flashing kernels.. They dont even read carefully what the OP says..
3) Running linux on a phone would be the best thing.. specially on an xperia pro where you get a harware keyboard..

XPOSED on an Intel Z8300 chip?

Hi, I'm using a Chuwi HiBook, I rooted and unlocked and I flashed xposed-v84-sdk22-x86.zip but now it's not booting, i had to reflash android.
The kernel version says "3.14.37-x86_64-L1-R517
What should i do? I mean, does that zip work for my device? Maybe the 32bit version doesnt work on this yet and I'm making a dumb move
Thanks
EDIT: More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/chuwi-tweaks-t3316556/page2
The system is ARM but there is no tablet with this chip with xposed working on it.
Any clues?
Hi, i think flashing xposed disabler can help you. Just try it.

Agreed, Right now I am searching for MiPad2 xposed.zip without luck.... My cpu is also Intel cherry trail x5-z8500 14nm , The CPU is x86_64 armV8a architecture.
My devices runs as Dual-OS, switching between full windows 10 and full android lollipop within their respective home-screen widgets. That's nice...
I have root and a kind of official aosp, although the official firmware is MIUI.
If someone someday will come across xposed.zip x86_64 then post here a link, please!
Thank you!

I got bootloop (and not a single uninstaller working with that too, tried those zip special for MIUI Mipad2 . The other xposed zips are for arm64 and other kinds of arm but not this model one .
I've spoke with the "deliver" too of the flash zips, "Papka__" and SolarWarez and he got them from another place, but none of theme work with MiPAd2. Overall the device is very fast and doing well. Having windows 10 besides as a multiOS.
Also, I've read somewhere that Rovo89 will never get involved in those CPU x86_64, mainly because the vendors have heavily modded ROMs. :crying: I gave up , never ever give up , and now I'm forced to use other kinds of firewalls.... The Xprivacy module was very nice, because I could see in very detail what was going on on each app and a lot of other modding modules.
:good: Thanks anyway for your trying.
Intel the creator of those SoC has dropped the manufacturing in phones and tablets... So there aren't enough big public and demand, which doesn't encourage developers spend time on the hack!
Intel is investing on IoT (internet of everything) and CPU's for drones, The Future Conquer army weapons. Also Intel investing in more power consuming Goldmont CPUs with 6-12watts that are very powerful for bigger mobile devices.
Solved. Except no feedback for MIUI. Cheers

Huawei GPU version

Hi there People, I have a Huawei P9 L-09C432B378 (Nougat) and i would like to know a way to see our GPU version (Model I know that it is Mali-T880) but what I want to know it's the driver that this sofrware (B378) is using.
If someone could help me I would aprecciate a lot.
Thanks
Phones doesnt work exactly like PC, so there is no "driver" that you can update/check separately and there is no separate settings file that you can modify to mess with it a bit.
In terms of spec, P9 have mail t880 in Midgard architecture
its version MP4 that contain 4 cores clocked at 900Mhz in boost mode and it use simplified driver interface AMBA4 Ace-Lite, so it provide power depending on task with less data pushing though memory.
It also support almost all modern APIs:
OpenGL® ES 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2
Vulkan 1.0*
OpenCL™ 1.1, 1.2
DirectX® 11 FL11_2
RenderScript™
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Basically there is no specific version number of drivers used in P9, its all in system it self, that is provided by huawei with android ROM.
You can mess with few settings for MSAA, video quality, but beside that nothing. Its GPU on SoC that is maxed out from the box, and only way to sped it up is upgrading chip it self to version MP8 or MP16, and of course its not possible :]
My question was all about this:
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=1046 (this is a driver for 7.0 (Nougat) with a driver version 465.204.476)
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=920 (This one it's another driver ALSO for 7.0 (Nougat), but with a diferente version number (511.1023.4095))
Which one of those it's the one in ou P9 L-09C432B378????
And there is another that came out today:
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=1132 (this one it another one BUT it's for 7.1.1. (Nougat) with the same driver version number as the second one (511.1023.4095))
My question it's if is it possible to know which driver version number do we have on our P9 and if it's possible to install the latest driver version as a zip file just like the guy as the (P.S.)
http://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/displayreport.php?id=1132
P.S. My question was all because of this threat:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/mod-adreno-vulkan-drivers-snapdragon-t3555141
This guy made na flashable zip for their Sony Devices with Adreno 430 and 530 so they could install them and appreciate all the good things that vulkan can offer to them.
I think that this is a good subject for some question and an AWESOME answers.
ok.... so i just downloaded Hardware CapsViewer for Vulkan (apk) and It says that driver version it's the 465.204.476 so it's the first link that I shared.
So now I was wondering what device as the other one that as the other driver version, the 511.1023.4095 one? Cause for what i undestood, the 511.1023.4095 one it's allready autorized for 7.1.1 Nougat
There are march drivers, but you have to selfcompile it.
