Can I Install PixelExperience 64bit ROM to solve an app compatibility issue with a Moto G4 & Republic service? The Motorola phone is not compatible with the DJI drone app and this issue was solved using this method in a Reddit post. Apparently the moto is 32 bit on 64 bit hardware? Will this brick the phone or cause compatibility issues with Republic?
Copy of post below:
Reddit post link:
Generally third party ROM’s will cause the phone to no longer activate with Republic.
If it does activate it would be unsupported.
It is also against the Terms and Conditions and could also result in termination of your account.
Supposedly the LG Stylo 5 will work, so I may have to updgrade the phone, as I do not want to go outside of Republic. Is there a way to determine the type of ROM manufactured into the phone (32 vs. 64 bit)?
Unless the manufacturer specifies on the spec sheet I have no idea how one would determine if it’s using android 32/64 bit before a purchase…
However, since the LG Stylo 5 is in the Republic shop you might be able to open a ticket to get an answer about that. No guarantees though.
According to the https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/bb55514c it looks like your good to give it a go. Found the info you needed under SOC (System on Chip)
According to the original post the chip can be 64bit yet run 32bit android, like the Moto G5 Plus. So this just tells us it has a 64bit chip.
So, I guess this only shows that the LG Stylo 5 has a 64 bit processor, hopefully a stylo user could cross check using the app and process in a previous discussion where @johnny5 & @rolandh used a free app named Aida64 to check the software in this discussion
Thanks, There are apps that analyze a phone to determine the ROM spec., just hoping to not have to order the phone first to find out.
Understood, you may want to create a separate discussion … ’ Does the LG Stylo 5 use 64 bit OS’ and provide how to determine it using the referenced AIDA64 app
Our Help Team really doesn’t have any additional information beyond what is publicly documented.
Hi @stevek,
I would typically run to the lab, grab a Stylo 5 and check this for you, but since we’re all working remotely, it’s not quite that easy. I’m checking around to see if I can find a staff member with that phone who can verify whether it’s running as 32- or 64-bit.
Thanks
