Moto G4 with 615 chipset ??? - Moto G4 Questions & Answers

I thought our phone was supposed to have the 617 chipset but when I ran CPUID it says I have the snapdragon 615 chipset... Anyone else ran into this...

The 617 is based off the 615, but with a different clock speed and upgraded modem. CPUID is just detecting it incorrectly.

617 has a better overall modem;
More memory clock speed - 933MHz [615 has 800MHz];
Better eMMC 5.1 [615 has 4.51];
Bluetooth 4.1 [615 has 4.0];
quick charge 3.0 [615 has 2.0]

[Q] 32-Bit Mode Exynos 5433

So I was reading a discussion about 64-bit exynos processors and a guy mentioned about sth intresting. What do you think, is this possible?
You are writing: The chip's firmware and drivers are running on a "CAL".
So I suppose it is not hardware limitation.
Could this change when they (or someone else) update their firmware, so that it becomes 64bit capable?

From all the various threads I've read making the exynos run 64-Bit is bootloader dependant. As the bootloader is closed source I think only Sammy can so it. I stand to be corrected on it though

If it is sammy dependent as you say, they won't make the exynos run 64-bit to keep it equal with Snapdrogon version since 805 is 32-Bit. Each processor has their our pros and cons depending on custom staff, performance and even a chance 64-bit support. It's really hard to choose...

Adreno 420 Drivers from Qualcomm site

Hi,
I currently use a custom TW based firmware for my 910F based upon POF2 firmware. I'm a software developer and developer an app that uses OpenGL ES 3.1. Now I have a problem which seems to be connected to the old version of the Qualcomm Adreno 420 drivers that came with the ROM. Every shader I want to compile fails with the error: "Built-In invariance mismatch". Those shaders worked on the same phone with all 4.4.x based ROMs before. So I now wondered if I can use Adreno 420 drivers for the Nexus 6 (Uses Adreno 420 as well) downloaded from the Qualcomm developer page (drivers from August 2015) and just flash the file to my phone? I already looked inside my system folder and the files on my phone are the same just much smaller and older versions. I'm a little scared if a break everything if i try this. So maybe someone with a little experience with Android drivers for GPUs can tell me if this will be possible?
Best Regards,

SM-T533 ROM Compatibility

Hi,
I just bought a new Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 tablet and the model number is SM-T533. From what I've seen, the only difference is that the processor is a 64-bit snapdragon 410, vs the 32-bit snapdragon 400 from the other models. Does anyone know if ROMs for T530NU are compatible?
Thanks in advance .

Yeah, I know. I'm just wondering if the T530 ROMs are compatible or even if they can be installed at all. Maybe I'll have to wait until devs compile a version for this processor.
There is no custom recovery as far as I know as there is no source code for kernel. No way to root either unless you are on very old firmware.

chipset and kernel relationship

is the chipset and the kernel versions are related to each other ?
I have observed that phones using Snapdragon 617 chipset are you using the kernel version of 3.10 checked with Moto G4 Plus and on other phones like nubia , BlackBerry dtek, etc
while phones using Snapdragon 430 chipset are using kernel version 3.18.. for ex redmi 4, etc
so my question is kernel versions like 4.4 and other newer versions can't be developed by manufacturer or what? for Snapdragon 617 chipset

They are not at all related to each other. Even in high ended smartphone you will notice 3.18 or above. As it is the minimum requirement for oreo build to function.
They are updated by oems and are maintain by company and are updated via ota.
As lenovo owned Motorola has officially announced oreo for moto g4 plus. As a pain in **s they have to update kernel first(which takes hell amount of time) n then have to push oreo update.
I think i was clear here.[emoji6]

If you're referring to Moto, not a chance. It's too much work to rework the kernel to a such a new version. I suspect that is the same reason there's a much higher delay around with phones that release with Oreo (very few at this time, even the OP5T comes with Nougat).

Can anyone develop a 64 bit rom for our device?

For moto g5 plus there is 64bit custom rom will our device get 64bit to get Google camera 5.0 working.

Actually, g5 runs snap 625 which is a 64 bit architect processor, where as 617(just functional is each for us).
So now you may have understood that its not the rom but the support from processor.
One should have easily rom it till now. But what the use of psp in rural area[emoji16]

Snapdragon 617 is also a 64bit processor but stock rom os is 32 bit same as g5 plus and htc a9 has same processor but has 64bit os .

True, i checked in snaps official page and 617 is a 64 bit processor, sry for posting w/o verification.
Pn developer about it, may they can reply more efficiently and tell us also what they says.[emoji6]
If you gays are not soooo lazy you have done some research on the active threads and found the the procesor is 64bit but the bus is only 32 so is not worty have a 64 bit os since the bus will need twice cicle to transport the data.
Htc a9 has 64bit os and it work fine

Here it is.

It is really nice that the developers are trying to make a x64 build for athene, but is los 15.1 the best option?
Because it is not stable by itself, and trying to make it stable AND 64 bit compatible at same time, isn't it too much effort? I understand that one way of thinking is "we can make it stable with 64 support already!", but maybe a port from 14.1, which is more stable, for 64 bit would show if it is worth or not (it will show what a 64 bits build can and cannot do, also performance), and in mean time, try to make 15.1 stable
I know that Dreamstar is doing almost all the job alone here (15.x and 64bits builds), so I'm thinking in try to make the 14.1 build port. I can code, but never did anything like that, not even close
