Are 2GB of RAM enough to run an Android ARMv8 64-bit version?

So I'm having this discussion with a friend that states that you need 4GB of RAM or even more to run smoothly a 64-bit ARMv8 version of Android. So basically my question is:
Will 2GB of RAM be enough for, let's say, Android 6.0.1 ARMv8 64-bit version?
Consider ARMv8 64-bit version of Android consumes more RAM casue 64-bit apps and ROM's are larger, so more RAM is needed. The Nexus 5X has a Snapdragon 808, which is ARMv8 64-bit CPU.
Does the Nexus 5X have a 64-bit ARMv8 Marshmallow version or a 32-bit ARMv7 Marshmallow version?

Well, if you don't know what a 64-bit android version is, or what ARMv7 is or ARMv8, then don't reply, lol.

pretty sure both the 5x and 6p are running 64bit android..

Do you actually have the Nexus 5X?
Can you check this?
It's to check if it has Android ARMv8 64bit.
1. See if you have the folder "lib64" in "/system/lib64". I think you need root to access "system" folder.
2. Install an app called AIDA64 from Google Play and see if it reports you have 64-bit ARMv8 CPU in the tab CPU, Instruction Set.
3. Install and app called CPU-Z from Google Play and see if it reports you have AMRv8l in the tab System, Kernel Architecture.
If all these 3 points are checked and true, then you're running Android 64-bit using ARMv8 architecture. The apps are trusted and you can delete them once you've checked what I told you.
Thank you!

Uh?
Well, I have an Android device with 2GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 615 ARMv8 64-bit and it basically has Vanilla Android 5.1.1.
One friend said 2GB of RAM was not enough for a 64-bit ARMv8 Android, so now that I know that the 5X can totally handle it, my smartphone should handle it as well.
My carrier is retard cause it installed a AMRv7 32-bit Android in it, and we're "pressing" it so it updates our phone to MM 6.0.1 ARMv8 64-bit. As I said, it's not a highly modified ROM, so it's practically pure vanilla MM.
Am I wrong in something?
Why?

Why do you think that a 64bit version is bigger the a 32 bit version? Do you know what the difference even is?
ARMv7 and ARMv8 these are versions of the ARM processor architecture. Physically how it is made. You can only run software designed for your specific phone, in terms of roms and versions of Android. They need to be designed to work with the physical parts of the phones. Apps interact with android not directly with the processor.
"My carrier is retard cause it installed a ARMv7 32-bit Android in it, and we're "pressing" it so it updates our phones to MM 6.0.1 ARMv8 64-bit instead of MM 6.0.1 ARMv8 64-bit."
So this makes no sense you can't upgrade the processor with a software update. Your carrier does not build the phones it is done by the manufacturer.

It's not about update my processor, it's about installing Android 64-bit so it can handle the ARMv8 64-bit CPU. Right now, with Android 32-bit, my Snapdragon is working obviously with ARMv7 32-bit.

Amlogic S905 devices and Remix support

Hi
There's the Tronsmart S95, and now also the Unuiga U1 that supports Remix OS. But does anyone know how updates really will be supported? By Remix? The S905 is quite a lot more powerful than the Alwinner in the Mini so it's quite interesting in that sense, but not knowing about future support...

Waiting for support Odroid-C2

yes even i am interested to know. Will it receive direct updates from Remix (Jide)?
Also any one already reviewed this device Unuiga U1?

If i'm not mistaken, the amlogic s905 is also featured in their new AIO so I believe that there will be official updates from them.

Install Remix on MXQ Pro
Hi, Since it can be downloaded from Jide web page...Does anyone know how to install Remix OS 2.0 in a MXQ Pro (s905), maybe like flashing a ROM?

MXQ Pro (s905) quickplay?

I bought the Vensmile u1 two weeks ago which is the same as Unuiga u1/s905. After updating the OS with the seller`s img file, there`s been one OTA update. So, I suppose it is supported officially.

That's just my Remix OS port for Nexbox A95X with couple of lines changed in build.prop. I actually made some effort to fix wifi/remote/etc and make it into a TWRP flashable zip. No credit given but what can you expect from 4pda...
Apparently MXQ PRO has similar enough hardware as the A95X (rtk8189es wifi mainly) that it works. It still has the Nexbox A95X kernel and all. Just feels so wrong to run something that is really not meant for your device.

Not your fault of course. It's good to know it also works on MXQ Pro. You'd deserve a proper port for your device, though.

I have remix OS installed in my MXQ p201..love it...but only ethernet works...no wifi. It lets me "turn on" the wifi but it doesn't scan or show any available networks...any suggestions...im not always able to use ethernet when I take the box to my basement.

Nougat for Redmi 1s???

This there a nougat development for our device? I hope there is as the new doze implementation will benefit low end devices like our Redmi 1s.
Thanks..

Not possible.
Redmi 1S most probably won't get Android 7.0 because of CPU & GPU restrictions. It will only support the following devices as mentioned in the article by Android Authority.
""Looking over the list of devices that will receive Nougat we find the following:
1) The devices cover a range of GPUs including Adreno 306, Adreno 430 and Mali-T860.
2) The devices have a broad performance range from the Helio P10 and the Snapdragon 410 right through to the Snapdragon 820.
3) Most of the devices have 64-bit processors.""

i think redmi 1s will get 7.0 with some limitations like no individual file-encryption system as it requires a high speed storage
and OpenGL

How can it better? Snapdragon 400 doesn't support vulcan.

That's right too! But is faster installation of apps based on storage or the Vulkan API?

No, Vulkan is basically something like OpenGL, it's a premade library that helps take the load off the GPU, but only if the game creators used stuff from that library.

hope so

You have to try cm13 boot.img because the version released is cm14 for falcon not the Mokee7.0 for falcon. So try with cm13 boot.img and report if it boot's or not!

This is the indication that possible to have a Android 7 in Redmi 1s.
I really excited about it.
Keep up the good work devs. If you need a tester, I willing to do so.

CAT S42 Degoogle using Treble + MicroG for LineageOS

Hello
I have just bought a Cat S42 H+ with the following specs:
Android 10, planned upgrade to Android 11
Mediatek MT6761D Helio A20 (12 nm)
Quad-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53
PowerVR GE8320
I also run a Surface Go with PopOs (ubuntu linux derivative). I’m comfortable with using the terminal.
I have unlocked the Cat S42 using this tutorial: https://highonandroid.com/android-r…bootloader-on-any-android-android-root-101-1/
I have also installed the Treble Check app; the S42 supports Treble and also has VNDK 30.0. It also supports seamless system updates and has an A/B system partition.
What do I do next? There is no TWRP for my specific device. I was intending to install LineageOS for microG as the stock rom doesn’t support signature spoofing, which is requirement for microG. I just want this phone degoogled as much as possible.
Thanks
