@felipovicc Thank you! But I see I posted a wrong command in the op, could you check "getprop ro.boot.radio" too? Thanks

Also, is CM 32 bit or 64 bit?

This seems to be a 32 bit device, then CM will be 32 bit

I'm so confused, i thought the 410 was 64-Bit http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a53-processor.php i mean it's not a big deal but i just wondering why it uses 32 bit software?

Snapdragon 410 comes with two versions, 32 and 64 bit.

The Cortex A53 in this phone is 64 bit capable. One can build a 64 bit kernel and it can be made to run on this hardware. Motorola decided to stick with 32 bit for the E and G because 64 bit Android behaves poorly with 1 GB RAM. Motorola's binary blobs are 32 bit, and thus custom ROMs wil be 32 bit only for now.

We would have probably had 64bit software if not for the 1GB model... Going 32bit also makes their work easier.
@squid2, so is it possible to change the software to 64bit unofficially/
