I know it uses 64 bit CPU but does it also use 64 bit OS? I can't find this information anywhere.
Apps seem to think it's 32 bit

I'm trying to install ubuntu 12.04 on virtualbox but it seems to be running very slow! I don't have a slow computer so I don't understand why its running so slow. I put for it to take up 50 GB and use 1024 MB of ram. I have 4 GB of ram in total and 237 GB of free space. Is there a special way to install it? Also when I choose Ubuntu 64 bit (because I have a 64 bit computer) and than start the vm it shows an error saying I don't have the correct kernel and I need to install x86 bit or x32 bit so thats what im using. Any help would be very appreciated. I also am not a noob at this so please dont call me that. Thanks.
Processor: AMD E-300 APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.30 GHz

It would be slow because you running a 64bit OS with 1GB of RAM, you really should use the 32bit version, it dosnt matter what OS your running as your host OS, thats the whole point of virtualisation you can run either

Actually im using 32 bit not 64 for ubuntu because it wouldnt boot up. How much ram is good eneough for 32 bit?

1GB should me move than enough, how much CPU time are you giving it? and have you enabled 2D/3D graphics in virtualboxes settings?

By cpu time do you mean how long its taking me? Its taken me like 1 hour just to get from the start of the vm to actually installing the files. It took like 20 min to boot up. And 30 min just to finish copying the files. And no i do not have the 3d and 2d accelerator enabled.

No I meant how much of the CPU are you giving to the virtualmachine to use (i.e 50% of the time etc) and you should enabled 3/2D acceleration as I have always found it gives a big speed boost as it takes away the GUI load from the CPU, unless you have a really poor graphics card

Where do i find the cpu time and i do not have a poor graphics card i have amd Radeon Hd 6310 graphics. And thanks i will check that when i get home and i will tell you if it works good. Also are those times that i put normal?

No not really which is why it sounds like the not enough CPU time it being giving to the virtual machine, I believe these settings are found in the system section of the settings for that virtual machine but I have not used virtualbox for a while so cant be sure. But you need to give it really atleast half maybe more if you dont plan on doing most in the host OS while the virtual machine is running

I think its called execution cap on system->processor because of the description. Im going to set it to 60% and see what it does.
EDIT: Still no good. I also cant find anything that has CPU time in it.
I've been looking around and i've noticed others are having problems with 12.04. I will try another version (9.04) and I will update on how it runs.
EDIT: I installed 9.04 and it ran perfectly fine with half the settings I used for 12.04. But sadly it cannot install git-core which is what im going for. Im going to try 10.10 now.

Latest Ubuntu comes with the Unity UI which is very graphically intense.
You have two quick options:
- kill the Unity UI (can be disabled during boot/login screen)
- attempt to get the guest tools installed inside Ubuntu so it can tap into the power of the host PC's GPU/graphics card.
I'd try installing the guest tools in Ubuntu, it's usually either easy and a success, or a pointless nightmare.
To kill Unity UI just google for it with the exact version of Ubuntu you've got and the results should be plentiful. It's a common complaint with the latest version.
I wonder if it's possible to get the moto e 4g running in 64bit mode and whethe what difference it would make?

It is possible. Maybe it has already been tried
Motorola stayed with 32 bit software mainly due to memory constraints. 64 bit software causes pointers to double in size, causing RAM consumption to go up. The 1GB of RAM in the Moto E is just enough to get by with 32 bit Android, but it's rather skimpy for 64 bit. The slight performance boost (around 15%) is is not worth it given the RAM shortage it causes on this device. You really want 2GB or more RAM to run 64 bit Android comfortably.

I'm well aware of the memory issues with using 64bit android with 1gb of ram.
It's purely curiosity with 64bit android and no doubt someone with try it out for the sake of it. As for practicality who cares just push the boundaries.
Hi,
After compiling different ROMS I notices that during the proces, my 8 cores do max out, but my computerram 16GB in total is not used to it's full potential, it stays around 3 / 4 GB. Is this because we compile with / for 32 bit Android? I run a hard machine with dualboot ubuntu/windows 3770K processor, 256 SSD and 1 x 3 TB and 3 1TB harddrives.
ccache is also enabled and working, so i was just wondering why it would not use more computer RAM. while compiling a ROM.
Thanks
I have an HP Elitepad 900 with absolutely no operating system on it. Windows was absolutely useless running on it due to its low spec hardware. Ive tried installing it a couple times with no luck due to its 32 bit CPU architecture. Would anybody happen to know where to get the 32 bit version of this OS' ISO to make an installation disk? Thank you for any help in advance!
Is the Redmi 8a using 32 bit or 64 bit? If it's using 32 bit architecture then I won't buy it, because google play store would not support 32 bit phones next year...
But I'm kinda confused because isn't Snapdragon 439 supports 64 bit? Can this be fix with changing ROM? I really want to buy the Redmi 8a...
Any phone with an 8-core processor supports 64-bit.
You can know this by using AIDA64 for example if the installed ROM is 32-bit (ARM-V8A in 32-bit mode) or 64-bit (ARM-V8A).
It is very likely that the 2GB version of RAM is 32-bit, but I'm not sure.
i already owned one, the Cpu is 64 but the OS is 32
Screen shot?
Please note that it's not true Play Store will not support 32bit phones next year. It will. The announced change means that they will no longer support 32bit apps on 64bit systems, meaning every 32bit app should have a native 64bit version available. If your device is 32bit (or, as is the case with many devices, 64bit hardware running 32bit Android), nothing should change for you (as long as the developer of the specific app doesn't decide to stop supporting a 32bit version of their app themselves, but in that case, it's the decision of the developer, not something Play Store is enforcing).
is havoc os 3.6 Gsi is 32bit or 64bit, how could I know

install CPU-Z from play store and open it, go to system tab, find kernel architecture , Look at the text in front of it , if you see armv7(or arm v7I) means 32 bit and if you see armv8(or v8I) means 64 bit.
Please let me know after doing this
sorry for my poor english.
thanks.
