Security Updates - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi,
I was wondering if security updates were roll out by LineageOS or the developper of the device.
For instance, if I want to install an unofficial rom, do the security updates will come thanks to the dev of the rom or LineageOS ?

There are several components. LineageOS contains proprietary components from device manufacturer. Its dev's job to include latest "blobs". Also the kernel is most probably home brewn by your dev. All other components come upstream from lineageOS and get their security patches there each month. Dev has just to synch.

LineageOS official vs unofficial?

I see that there are no official Albus version of LineageOS. Does anyone know why?
What's the difference between official and unofficial builds? Why doesn't LOS just take the unofficial build available here and add them to their official builds?
Sorry I'm a little confused (and disappointed that LOS doesn't seem interested in Motorola's latest devices... Which could only be me misunderstanding how it works)
Well, it's a mess to completely explain this but I don't have anything else to do.
When we are talking about unoffucial builds, they are more likely to get bugs and stuff like that because "developer" is still working in it for fixing bugs of the device tree and all that things.
Once the ROM is official, basically the only difference is that you can have OTA updates by the official updater of the ROM or download the software from the official website (download.lineageos.org) and you may have less bugs because the ROM has to meet certain requirements to be an official one.
LineageOS isn't the one who works for the devices, it depends on the developers that buy that device to work on it. Lineage only provides the main source and support for certain devices with high end specs.
And finally, there's no official LineageOS for our phone because it's still too alpha for it.

Z00D and Z00L support and monthly builds
Since the last couple of months, support for Z00D and Z00L devices has been added. Though testing for those devices is out of reach, feedback from several users has been positive.
Due to lack of developement for the Nougat branch, the building cycle will be monthly. Once security patches are merged, a new release will come out.
Don’t expect new features or big changes, Nougat future builds will be all about stability and security patches until LineageOS stops giving support for Nougat.

No but there is really no difference as I do not change anything but if there is anything wrong I probably could not fix it. Remember RR is bases on lineageOS so as thy have an official Rom bugs get quashed quite quickly and i think RR devs do the same. I do monitor both of these.

[ROM][15.1][Unofficial][LINEAGEOS OREO] [NO VoLTE] Aug Security Patch

Unofficial Builds Honor 5x 15.1 by @wileyc

A note by @wileyc
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
with android 16.0 a device as with 2gb ram started hanging. Even with the These Zram Compression Tweaks , this device still wasn't performing optimally. Wiley already creating ROMs for many other lineageOs devices for prior generations. So I, had asked him for same if that can be done with HONOR 5x also. And he did that. And as from community i am very thankful to him.
Notes: This flashing procedure is same. If you are coming from any other ROM clean flash is needed. And obvisouly latest gapps.
Please do not ask anything in official to official lineageOs thread. And neither do I or Wiley will be looking at any error. These are builds are coming directly from lineageOs sources.

Custom ROM security updates

Which custom ROM is most consistent in providing up to date security updates and patches as well as other updates for Redmi Note 8? I currently use Paranoid quartz 4 and the last security update was July. Are there any better ROMs in security?

why you care about security updates ?
your update (july) is old
the most consistent up to date roms are
Resurrection Remix/MSM Xtended/Havoc/corvus/bliss
(MSM stop releasing A10 roms and start working on A11)
i suggest Resurrection Remix and MSM Xtended
