Porting 64 bit roms to 32 bit device? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know if this is possible yet? Any idea what special steps need to be taken to make a port like this work? I have a Nexus 6 which is 32 bit and I am trying to port MIUI lollipop. All of the lollipop roms for MIUI that I have seen are 64 bit. Any help with this would be appreciated.

In theory you can run a 32 bit ROM on a 64 bit device but not vice versa. In short, it's not possible to run a 64 bit ROM on a 32 bit device.

thanks. that is what I was afraid of

MIUI 7 runs on the Nexus 4 and 5 as well as many other popular phones, so surely not 64 bit exclusive. http://www.droidviews.com/port-miui-7-rom-available-69-devices/

No, but teorically you could just if you port libs from 64 to 32 bit.
If you use a 64bit app on a 32bit it will FC.
You must use an original 32bit base and port apps from the 64bit ROM.
That's why exists ports from Note 5 to Note 3, from S6 to S4 eccetera

[Q] I want to build my custom or CM9/AOKP...

For about a week or two I have been reading up and researching on how to make a ROM and I used to run Ubuntu ( I used W7 as my primary OS on an SSD ) on one of my extra hard drives but I recently realized that it would be better for me to just run Ubuntu in a VM and therefore I am using VirtualBox. Okay to get to the point I would appreciate any tips and helpful advice on how to build a rom correctly for our device. I also am curious on how much ram I really need because in my machine I have 16GB as ram but I only dedicated 3GB to Ubuntu and it says that I need about 16GB just to Ubuntu here. If I have to I can purchase more ram. Also which would be the best version of Ubuntu to run for this? On the site it says 10.04.
My Computer Specs:
GTX 580
16GB RAM 1600 MHz
Intel i7-980x
Chronos Deluxe 120GB <-- Windows 7 x64
300GB 10,000RPM x 2 <---- One of them has Ubuntu 12.04 x64

I don't think that at all, new phones will include 32 and 64 bits devices, new android O should be released as open source and can be ported to any of them, also gapps will remain supporting of 32 and 64 bits devices.

Are you sure some people say that android O and gapps are only for 64bits based on the dev preview 1

I have Samsung A10.It has 64 bit chipset though it it is running on 32 bit android.Can i get this mobile to use 64 bit android by flashing google gsi for arm64.
No, it won't run arm64 gsi
Why ?It has a 64 bit chipset which is needed to run arm 64

But it doesn't have the necessary libs inside the device to run 64bit GSI. Samsung removed them and only left 32bit available.
Hello, I would like someone to please recommend me a custom rom to install on my samsung A10s (a107m). I have not been able to find support information on official pages such as Lineage Os. I have everything soon, download FWUL and TWRP together with Magisk, I just need a compatible rom. Thank you in advance and I hope someone can help me ... or I better change my device
I had great luck with some of these. Haven't tried them all.
