Android 8 GSI list done, Now I am going to share the list of Android 9 Pie GSI list that I have been tested myself had successfully booted on my ASUS Zenfone Live L2 Android phone.
Nerdizen.xyz — Is Oreo doesn’t enough for you? How about Pie? 😁 It’s come back to you whether you prefer Android 8 GSI or Android 9 Pie GSI instead. If you prefer performance, I suggest stick with Android 8 on your ASUS Zenfone Live L2.
But if you just boring or want to fee new features, you might want to consider installing Android 9 GSI instead as it will bring you new features and fresh looks to the UI for your ASUS Zenfone Live L2 Android phone.
And again, these GSIs below will not very far away from phhusson’s Treble Experimentation patches and fixes. Sadly, Miracast not working anymore on my ASUS Zenfone Live L2 on most of them except: Bootleggers, AOSiP, Derpfest and Arrow OS (Oh, what magic did they patched inside their ROM 😃).
Still don’t know how to install a GSI on your ASUS Zenfone Live L2? Then head to this post: How to Install Generic System Image (GSI) on ASUS Zenfone Live L2 Android Phone.
I also recommend to use ARM64AB version of the GSI whenever the built is available as I found running Android 9 ARM64A GSI with Oreo vendor on my ASUS Zenfone Live L2 always caused me battery drain issue.
