I have a Redmi Note 11, I am planning to install a custom ROM. This is the first time I’m about to do something like this.

How good of a reputation does the Paranoid Android OS have? Will I get good long term support? How functional is it?

    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.
