ARMv7 or ARMv15? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Which one does the S5 resemble? I compiled a kernel using toolchains optimized for ARMv15 and my S5 seems to run just fine.

It worries me you are compiling kernels when you don't understand ARM architecture.
Arm v7 or v8 are the two types: generally the 64bit processors come with arm v8. S5 is v7 as far as I know. The v15 thing you mentioned is actually professor model types: ARM do a9 and a15 cores along with their newer a53, a57 cores.

Thanks for the quick response. I have since compiled a kernel with the proper cross compiler and source code.

Flash 10.1 will NOT work on Galaxy 3

Hello everyone.
I see a lot of people complaining that the Froyo releases of the Galaxy 3 do not have Flash 10.1. I opened this topic to inform everyone who doesn't know that Flash is currently only supported on ARMv7 processors, namely the ARM Cortex A8 processors.
The Galaxy 3 has an ARMv6 processor, which is not currently supported by Flash. Adobe has mentioned that Flash might be supported on lower end processors in the near future, but right now it can only run on phones having an ARM Cortex A8 processor.
So right now, Flash is a no-go on our phone, even when the final Froyo update is released.

[Q] arm v8 or arm v7

Can any body tell me , snapdragon 615 has arm v8 type cpu or arm v7 ??? As from many websites ,i came to know that 615 has arm v8 cpu but in yureka, system info shows that it has arm v7 cpu.

armv8 if the os is a 64 bit and armv7 if it is a 32 bit.
so after u get cm12s ur info will show armv8

Snapdragon llvm compiler

Has anyone tried to compile a kernel using the snapdragon llvm compiler and if so what was your experience with the end result?

Why not 64bit ROM?

I know the SM-T580 has a 64bit ARM processor. Is there some other reason Samsung hasn't developed a 64bit ROM for it? And, no, cost is NOT a satisfactory answer.
