Huawei P9 Lite users can taste the latest Android 9.0 Pie update with the help of AOSP 9.0 ROM. It is an unofficial custom ROM that brings several new features based on Android 9 Pie. Read on to download & install Android 9.0 Pie update on Huawei P9 Lite.
After the rollout of four beta updates of Android P to supportive devices, Google finally named Android 9.0 as Android Pie. The stable version is already released to various Pixel as well as devices that took part in the Android P beta program. Huawei still doesn’t announce its list of devices getting Android 9.0 Pie update. Until then, AOSP 9.0 ROM is the best option to enjoy the features of Google’s latest operating system. All credits go to XDA developer/contributor Askuccio_DROID for his efforts in developing the ROM.
Although the latest Android 9 Pie brings several new features over its previous Android Oreo, the most notable one is the gesture-based navigation system. Other features include Adaptive battery and brightness, App Actions, Slices, Improved Security features, Digital Wellbeing, New Accessibility menu, New Screenshot Shortcut and more.
