[marin_ljubic]

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: Zenfone 4 ze554kl
Firmware Version: official Oreo 8.0
Rooted or not: no
Frequency of Occurrence:
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app): Splendid app and audio Wizard
========================================
Hi, If I update to beta Pie version can I install Splendid or other ASUS proprietary apps since Pie version is not Zen UI, but AOSP.
And are there any bugs on Beta version, or it is solved?

And is there Dark mode on Beta Pie version?

Hi marin_ljubic
Thank you for your asking. The interface/system design of ZenUI and AOSP are quite different. If you still prefer Android 8, we have an official Android 9 beta to Android 8 downgrade tool. Please backup your data before cross Android upgrade and downgrade process.

Hi, thank you for answer. But still, what is the difference in AOSP Pie and Oreo? Are ZenUI apps available like Splendid or Audio Wizard for installation or only reserved for ZenUI? Is dark mode available on system level? Are bugs with WhatsApp solved on Pie version?
I am asking the same questions again.
