hello @pancakse, Welcome to the /e/ forum.

please can you rename the topic into somehing like :

i need arm32-binder64-ab version of GSI

about the moto g play 2023, do you know the codename or the model number ?

@piero

Model Number is foundable on a working device in the → settings → About the Phone.
.
To find your device codename you can run this command in the console of an adb enabled PC with you phone connected via a usb data cable (and "USB debugging selected in developer options)

$ adb shell getprop ro.product.device

What is android version of the current Stock MotorolaOS installed ?

How to install /e/OS GSI on a non supported device?

Once you know which system image you need, download it

• Arm A → treble_arm_avN (system-arm-a.img.xz)
• Arm A/B → /treble_arm_bvN (system-arm-ab.img.xz)
• Arm64 A → treble_arm64_avN (system-arm64-a.img.xz)
• Arm64 A/B → treble_arm64_bvN (system-arm64-ab.img.xz)
• Binder 64 A → treble_a64_avN (system-a64-a.img.xz)
• Binder 64 A/B → treble_a64_bvN (system-a64-ab.img.xz)

The current Android GSI includes the following major variances:

• CPU architecture. Support for different CPU instructions (ARM, x86, etc.) and CPU bitness (32 bit or 64 bit).
• 64-bit binder interface. In Android 8.x, 32-bit GSIs used the 32-bit binder interface.
  Since Android 9 doesn’t support the 32-bit binder interface, so both 32-bit GSIs and 64-bit GSIs use the 64-bit binder interface.

[piero]

@pancakse

these are unofficial what if these get discontinued and the sourceforge page for the gsis you sent dont exist

so there will be android 15 based unofficial GSI… in the future

@piero

current Official /e/-“Q” version is for devices running Android 10 or older…

i must have said : last Official /e/ version was for devices running Android 10 or older…
the update / upgrade is awaited since november 2023, and every new week see :

@Manoj

• GSI builds to be made to run on /e/OS T. As users may be aware the current GSI is on /e/OS Q.We will skip (Android 11) R and (Android 12) S and directly update the GSI to (Android 13) T.

ETA: To be announced

@Manoj

Ongoing Development Tasks

• /e/OS GSI on T (Android 13) … ETA will be shared.

trust me, in matter of getting discontinued, unofficial is more reliable !

[pancakse]

alright which one should i download since the sourceforge doesnt exist

[piero]

Ô my bad, sorry, try this one eOSBuildsRonnz98 - Browse /GSI at SourceForge.net

# What does “arm32_binder64” mean? #1222
arm32_binder64 = Is the equivalent to A64 ,

its an ARM32 System operating on top of a ARM-Cortex -M Processor that is able to process a 64bit Binder Environment.

Thats the most logical way of understanding it.
What it means in more easier words, its a 32bit cpu , that runs a 64 bit environment. (With this kind of specific CPU its possible to do this)
Example Helio G25 - Redmi 9A, since they’re limited by the cpu and kernel , they run arm32_binder64 systems.

The reason these phones are limited in RAM , they have 2GB , or limited in wifi capabilities and modding MAY perhaps be because of the CPU Arch being stuck on 32bits, indeed… Its not a 64bit processor, thats not true, they lied to us.

@piero

64-bit binder interface. In Android 8.x, 32-bit GSIs used the 32-bit binder interface.
Since Android 9 doesn’t support the 32-bit binder interface, so both 32-bit GSIs and 64-bit GSIs use the 64-bit binder interface.

i don’t think so, but i am not expert to GSI…

.
currently, only eos_u_2.7_20250112_treble_arm64_bvN.zip seems available,
if it don’t correspond to your device, you could take another device :

devices supported by Unofficial Builds

devices supported by Official Builds

[pancakse]

my only other device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ SM-X210

[pancakse]

also how do i install the gsi image from a PC since theres no TWRP for my phone i already got the bootloader unlocked months ago and i downloaded this file eos_u_2.7_20250112_treble_arm64_bvN.img

[pancakse]

the one u gave me doesnt work due to the fact thats arm64 i need arm32-binder64-ab aka a64
