Moto G4 Plus Gets Support for 64-Bit Custom ROMs

Smartphone manufacturers sometimes make odd decisions. For example, Motorola released the Moto G4 Plus and the Moto G5 Plus with a 32-bit Android operating system, despite the fact both processors are capable of running 64-bit software. It never made much sense — most Android applications require 64-bit software support, including the popular Google Camera HDR+ Port. But there’s hope: XDA Recognized Developer vache brought 64-bit support to the Moto G5 Plus, and now XDA Recognized Developer Dreamstar has come up with a 64-bit solution for the Moto G4 Plus.

The instructions are fairly straightforward, and were published on XDA’s Moto G4 Plus forums along with a download link for 64-bit LineageOS 15.1, a device tree, kernel tree, vendor tree, and 64-bit enabled TWRP. In 64-bit environment on the Moto G4 Plus and Moto G5 Plus, all of the system processes except for app_process — the system server — run in 64-bit mode. (app_process runs in 32-bit mode because the phones’ sensors don’t work correctly when it runs in 64-bit mode.) 64-bit mode allows for better energy efficiency and, in theory, better performance.

If you’re intrigued by the prospect of running 64-bit applications on the Moto G4 Plus, check out forum thread. Note, though, that due to the nature of the software, it’s very likely buggy — these sorts of ports tend to be tougher than most because custom ROM developers aren’t able to edit device drivers and vendor blobs without a little trial and error.

Check out 64-bit ROMs for the Moto G4 Plus!

Google Reportedly Paying Apple $9 Billion to Remain Default iOS Search Option

Image
It’s widely known that Google pays Apple a certain amount of money on a semi-regular basis to make sure that it remains the default search engine option on iOS devices. It has been said in the past that iOS devices equal about 50 percent of Google’s search revenue on mobile devices, so it’s imperative to the company to keep that spot on Apple’s devices. Before the end of 2017 it was reported that Apple was getting upwards of $3 billion from Google to secure that spot. But now, more than a year later from that report, it sounds like the company may be paying a lot more to Apple. Business Insider is reporting information shared by analyst Rod Hall that states Google is now paying $9 billion this year to retain its default situation on iOS devices. What’s more, Hall actually thinks that number will increase by next year, and Google could be paying Apple for those default rights to the tune of $12 billion. Hall also echoes those earlier reports, saying ...

Facebook Uses Your 2FA Phone Number for Targeted Advertising

Image
Being stalked from one website to another by persistent advertising is a real issue, but some companies, like Apple, have made strides to try and reduce its impact . But targeted advertising isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, especially if Facebook has any say in the matter. The company has recently confirmed that it does indeed go to some pretty great lengths to provide information to advertisers, with this latest effort definitely one of the social networking giant’s worst. A couple of days ago, Gizmodo ran a piece that outlined how Facebook uses the phone number some users added to take advantage of two factor authentication as a way to target those same individuals with ads. This is an extension of how Facebook already handles phone numbers saved to the platform’s profiles. How it works normally is if you add your phone number to your Facebook profile, and then add your phone number to some online retailer’s online presence, those two sources can match and b...
