Someone need to unlock 64bit mode in kernel for better preformance and apk who need 64 bit mode ??
That is very difficult because our stock kernel is made as 32 bit by samsung. If you know anything about kernels, you know that if you are creating a custom kernel, you are just modifying and patching the stock one, or in our case the msm8916 generic kernel.

And this thread does not belong here, this is the roms, kernel, developing forum. So please remove, move this from here or pm an forum moderator.

OK gotcha @francisco, thanks for sobering & disillusioning me. I guess it's time for me to leave this good but ole J5 2016 behind and ascend one or two levels higher in the device hierarchy :)

It's almost impossible, and even if you could use 64 bit on this phone it will lag as hell
Sorry for asking but just wanted to clear my doubt, I have a lenovo tab which has 2 gigs of ram and 16gb internal storage but it runs 64 bit more smoother, even it has only 2gigs of ram, currently it is running android 8.1.0
Then why this device will hang.

Because this device wasn't designed for 64-bit
