[DEV][HOW TO][WIP] 64bits ROMs and TWRP

[vache]

First of all, yes, we can now run 64bits ROM on our phone.
But actually we have to run app_process (system server) as 32bits, mainly cause of sensors non working actually with a 64bits system server.

More to come next, vendor tree is still missing many 64bits blobs, and some of our proprietary services still run in 32bits mode too.

What's needed:

• Device Tree : https://github.com/BoulzorROM/android_device_motorola_potter/tree/bzr-64bich
• Kernel Tree : https://github.com/BoulzorROM/android_kernel_motorola_msm8953/tree/bzr-64bich
• Vendor Tree : https://github.com/boulzordev/android_vendor_motorola_potter/tree/bzr-64bich

Check commits history of those repos to grab needed changes.

my g5+ is still locked and I am too busy to unlock flash and test but 64bit rom may be worth time

 

[vache]

Added Validus and MultiROM to the list.

You definitely need to plan some alone time with your phone. For everything that it does for you do not neglect it. Don't you think your phone wants a 64-bit ROM just like all the other flagships.. so yes definitely set aside some time unlock your bootloader flash TWRP and get this ROM. Don't forget we are on arm64 gapps

So, some people here trying to take me down. You win. I can't handle haters anymore. Let us show how you can do better things
If you're maintainer, fork 64bits repos asap, i'll delete boulzordev potter repos tomorrow, as well as BoulzorROM org.

Happy flashing and happy #64bich

The normal people around know who does the hard work in bring up the device tree, etc.....why let one egotistic brat think he owns the world because he can do a repo sync of and already build devicee tree and sources....most of us know who does the hard work...just ignore the krackflashers...

Sorry for noob question. What's the advantage of using 64-bit from? Thank you

You get to use the Camera NX app from the Nexus 5x with Zero-lag-shutter and HDR+ on this phone now.
Rom is smooth af too.

Not everything is working, at least what I tried. Slowmo crashes the app and panorama as well. What is the version you are using?
