Custom ROM Lineage OS 13.0 Marshmallow For Huawei P8Lite (Kirin’s) ALE-L02, ALE-L21 & ALE-L23

Lineage OS is another awesome custom ROM that is based on the CyanogenMod firmware and focuses on speed, customizability and stability. Personally, I have used this ROM on Huawei P8 Lite as well as Ascend G7 smartphones and it has worked wonderfully on both of them. The creators of this ROM are active as well as helpful people. The Lineage OS sees constant releases and is being updated on a regular basis.

There are a lot of features in this custom ROM for Huawei P8 Lite but it runs extremely smooth on the device. Gone are all of the bloatware Samsung has installed with their own skin of Android and this really helps speed up the device.

However, these Lineage OS is worth trying at least once because they bring better battery life, a smooth and clean UI, stock Google Apps, bug fixes almost ever other day. So if you are not bugged with downloading the full packages of 300-400 MB every time, then custom ROMS like Lineage OS are best for you. You will also need latest TWRP, and Gapps.
