Kampfmelone Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Hey, I would like to use BitTorrent Sync with my Phone, a Motorola Razer i with an x86 Intel Atom SoC.Google Play Store shows me a "Not supported on your Device", so i guess, its just running with ARM? Is there a Problem with it or was it just "forgotten" because x86 Devices are so rare?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Is there a Problem with it or was it just "forgotten" because x86 Devices are so rare? Please read the Unofficial FAQ - Android x86 support is coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfmelone Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 May I push this issue?Seriously i like BT Sync but it would be great if I could use it with my Phone. Are you using Binaries etc. you only have for ARM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanZ Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Kampfmelone, Thanks for reminding. For now we do not support x86 CPUs in mobile phones, only ARM. We would like to add it in future, but I can't share ETA for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsbwn Posted September 14, 2014 Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 Hello fellas. Is there any news about the topic? I've been told recently that the future begins today The FAQ mentioned by @GreatMarko says that it's still coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freigeist Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 I guess "soon" can mean this century. I am a bit disappointed as the devs focus appears to be rather on GUI beauty than functionality and portability. Also a MIPS build was promised and never came...

Filzfrosch Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Well ... I missed BTSync on my RAZRi too ... Last year, when I read "Is coming soon ..." I was happy. By now I think, it will never come ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsbwn Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I have moto RAZR i too, but there are more phones based on Intel x86 processors such as Lenovo K900, Asus Zenfone, etc. I believe that is the only business decision of BitTorrent --- do not release it on Android x86, because it doesn't worth it (x86 on Android isn't popular). It's a pity, when you have to chose your phone depending of the apps you going to run on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatMarko Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 all, I've moved this topic over to the Feature Requests forum; feel free to add your +1's, etc to this thread if you've not already contributed, so that the developers can gauge the popularity of this. The latest word on Android x86 support is as per RomanZ's post above from earlier this year: "We would like to add it in future, but I can't share ETA for now" Please bear in mind that BitTorrent Inc's resources are finite, and therefore priority has to be given in the first instance (especially whilst Sync remains in "beta") to the more popular operating systems/architectures. For example, in this forum there also are expressions of desire from the community for Sync support on Blackberry, Windows RT, MIPS, Firefox OS, Chrome OS, Illumos / Smartos... to name but a few, in addition to Android x86 support! (and there's dedicated threads in this forum for each of these as well) So, as the developers have indicated, they are aware of a desire for Android x86 support, and would like to add it in the future. In the mean time, the best advice would be to add your +1's to this thread so the devs can gauge the level of interest in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellert Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) I also use the Razr I and would really like an x86 app! I would like to use it to back up my photos and videos. Right now I'm using Dropbox for that, but I'm trying to migrate everything to BTSync. For the record, I was able to install the version that's on the page for downloading the Windows XP version of BTSync. The app seems to run just fine, but I have to find a workaround for the fact that Android 4.4 does not give me permission to let BTSync use folders on my SD-card. I'm by no means an app developer, but as far as I know, compiling an app for x86 in Android is actually a matter of letting the SDK compile a seperate APK for x86. I'm not sure how it handles native ARM code though, so that may be the reason the developers have not yet made an x86 specific APK.

Epileftric Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 I've been looking for this for so long and yet I still can find post from 2013 from staff/devs saying "we are working on it". Has something come out from that? Are you still planing on doing it? Have you canceled the migration? Unfortunately I might be some of the few owners of a Motorola 980i, which comes with an Atom CPU thus it has x86 architecture! Thanks in advance!

chicagonyc Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Any update on this? The x86-powered $199 Asus Android phone is very impressive -- but not if it can't run BTSync! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
