Its not available for my device (Redmi Note 11)
Here you go https://xdaforums.com/t/rom-14-unofficial-lineageos-21-for-redmi-note-11-spes-spesn.4674496/
I've already seen this page before.
The title says [UNOFFICIAL] and the rom isn't available in the actual LineageOS official website. Is this version really safe?
I'm running the unoffical one on my Samsung S8 without issues since it's been released. Unofficial only means it's not supported and compiled from the LOS developers. They're safe and stable
Do the unofficial builds get regular security updates, though? Even if they do, I don't think it's the best idea to rely on two independent developers at the same time, I'd rather not have multiple points of faliure.
Yes they do. At least the maintainer for the S8 releases them regularily. That's not something i would worry about. When the unofficials get a stable state they're fine and only get the latest patches from LOS. I'm running customs since 8 years and i never had problems.
I hope they do the same for my phone. Any way I can check if it's being maintained? Thanks.
Since the latest release was in June i guess they added the latest security patches. Click on the download link, it will forward you to the github page. And since this rom has OTA updates they definitely incorporate patches
Thanks a bunch!
Sure, you're welcome :)
Ah. Sorry, I should have looked it up for you before I commented. I see someone else posted an unofficial version. You'd probably be happy with that, though not being official does kind of remove the advantage over other ROMs.
Oh don't worry about it, mistakes happen.
Paranoid Android seems to be working on Android 14 right now and they are regularly publishing updates on their discord/telegram groups. They seem like a pretty active team, I'll just go ahead and flash the ROM I guess.
