Hey, all. If you're like me, and was hoping for extended AR support on the Razer Phone 2, seems like there finally might be a glimmer of hope.
Recently, a Google developer tagged a bunch of open issues on the ARCore Github with the "device support" label.... including one about the RP2! It was tagged on Jan 27:
https://github.com/google-ar/arcore-android-sdk/issues/963
It could mean nothing, but it could also mean something. Not every open issue about device support was tagged (though, several were).
As of the latest update to Google Play Services for AR (formerly ARCore), Feb 6, it still doesn't support RP2. Though, this last update was less than two weeks after that update in Github, so it'll probably take a bit of time for support to get added (if it does, that is).
Either way, man, some transparency on this would be great.

You can get ARCore with a rooted RP2

It's been a long time since I've done anything like that... I think the last time I rooted a phone was the Motorola Droid 2, haha... So, I'm a bit rusty.
Would it be possible to root my phone without needing to wipe it? And can root status be hidden from apps that refuse to run on rooted phones?
Either way, official support would be nice, so it wouldn't be necessary to go this route.

Unfortunately you need to wipe your phone to root. And yes you can hide apps from root.
I agree, it would be nice to have as a native feature.
