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!
1. Yes

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.

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.
Installed 5 th one in that image thn device says architecture error ?
Am trying to get google assitant so that i need to update google play service .

Moto Z Play is not arm64.

Moto Z Play is actually a ARM architecture device, not arm64.... ARM v7
Use AIDA64 app:
64-bit ARMv8 A (32-bit mode)
The CPU is a 64bit architecture but the OS only runs at 32bit. So you need the 32bit arm apk
Vulkan api flashable zip available for redmi note 3,is there anyway to get vulkan api for g4 plus such as flashable zip etc...?
I'm fairly sure vulkan libraries are a requirement for all official OEM 7.0 ROMs.
The ROM I'm currently on (Slim 7) has vulkan support.

There is no vulkan support for g4 plus as of yet rather there's no vulkan support for sd617 devices, however it won't make a huge difference.?
No other rom can support vulkan if it's not on official firmware

Unfortunately a ZIP with the Vulkan's API does not exists, because any Adreno 400 series GPU isn't (so far) officially supported, and we have Adreno 405.
The only CPUs officially supported are (Snapdragon 430, 625, 650, 652, 820, 821, 835), and they have Adreno 500 series GPUs (Adreno 510, Adreno 530, Adreno 540).
Theoricly, this CPUs: Qualcomm Snapdragon 415, 615, 616, 617, 805, 808, 810 are planned to be supported, all with Adreno 400 series, but i really doubt that this will happen someday... taking in count that they are "old" SoCs.
Does anyone know the Root procedure on this Device?
Android 7.0 Nougat
Quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 + Quad-core 1.0 GHz Cortex-A53
Chipset MediaTek MT6750
GPU Mali-T860MP2
64 Bits

Hello, can I ask if we can flash the custom rom from cross device development like Alexis Rom?
afaik, NO.
a "cpu" (snapdragon 845 in our case) from a smartphone is more than just a regular cpu as we are used to think, it's a SoC - system on a chip, so it's a completely different system...
people from cross device development use models that have Exynos
@luws im not familiar with exynos 9810, its not an SoC like the snapdragon 845?
