What is the difference between OFFICIAL custom rom and UNOFFICIAL custom rom ? - Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers

Anyone plz tell me
Thank you.

Official ROMs are usually better supported and have a quality certificate from the developers. There aren't many official ROMs for lavender now, but for example the unofficial OTA LineageOS is both full-featured and stable enough for daily use.

Why UNOFFICIAL roms are not getting OFFICIAL for lavender ?

Because the devs don't have time to support them. They would need to do it to remain official.

Official roms require commitment from the dev, like periodic updates and not filling the rom with features not present on other devices...

N9005 roms and official 7.1 builds ?

After a recent disaster with my S5 I replaced it with a Note 3 n9005.
Am very happy with the phone but it has so much potential to be better. Are there any 7.1 roms that are actively being updated and is there any chance of official builds any time soon.
I would love to put 7.1 on this phone but don't want to get stuck with bugs I have to put up with for extended periods.
Thanks for any advice in advance.

There are always bound to be bugs when dealing with unofficial software like ports or ROMs, they're not perfect. As for an official Nougat release for a 4 year old phone that doesn't even have an official Marshmallow release? I highly doubt it. I would suggest just sticking with stock.
Thanks for the reply guys.
I know Samsung will never upgrade this phone to nougat or above but the custom rom community have done some amazing things bringing the latest versions of android to older phones when their manufacturers stop supporting them to make you buy their latest an greatest phone.
When I asked about official builds I was referring to Resurrection Remix or Lineage LOS 7.1 builds which get weekly updates. There will always be bugs I know but weekly builds help to fix them.

If I may suggest, I would try out a Note 7 port. I know it's not Nougat but in my opinion, Marshmallow with the Note 7 features is just as good and a lot of people have tested them out and are really stable. But as for more Nougat ROMs, RR and Lineage I think are the only options but I haven't tried them myself.
There is an official Note 5 Nougat rom out, so it should be possible to port that. We just have to wait for someone with the knowledge and interest to do it.
I'm running the Note 7 Phronesis Marshmellow rom, and I highly recommend it if you don't want to wait for a Nougat rom.

Thank you am currently trying the Phronesis Rom N7 v5.2 and am liking it very much very smooth and seems very stable.
And if i'm reading the forum correctly there should be a V6 version becoming available in the next couple of days.
thanks for the recommendation this rom will do very nicely until or if someone ports the N5 nougat rom which we can only hope for.

Up-to-date ROM with OTA updates?

Hello,
I'm looking for a ROM that has OTA updates and is actually being developed. What I see is that half of ROMs are abandoned, and other half will be abandoned in the nearest future, which imo is a real issue with custom ROMs.
Do you know any ROM, that will live for at least 1 year, will received updates, and won't be necessary to wipe data for every update?
Shamefully I see that there's no official LineageOS ROM for this device, which would be really great
Noone can say how long a Rom will be developed for at least 1 year. I changed from unterwelts Aicp to DotOs which is uptodate with security patch.
There's no official custom rom for markw, so no otas on any rom.
You don't need to clean flash if you're updating the same rom.
Markw is already a 2 year+ old device, looking for custom rom with 1 year long support commitment is ambitious for us, as there's not so many devs out there for markw. What they're offering, we're grateful for that.
If you don't want the hassle of flashing roms manually, want a stable device, I guess official miui is the best choice for you.

Why there is No Custom ROMs

So finally realme 2 pro got official bootloader unlocked OTA. With kernal Sources. So why we not seen custom roms for this device? As we all know it is an very popular device in past time. And so many people waiting for good and stable roms bcoz color os is so laggy. So anyone know how much time we wait for good custom rom???
Incomplete Kernel Sources
Because Realme Has Released incomplete means they have Released Lite version of kernel not full Source Wait Till Full Kernel Source To Be Released

First the realme not released the full kernel source to develop the custom ROMs and the how much time going to take to custom ROMs? It's depends on how much developers take interest to developing a rom. It's depends on their will to do so. If none of the developers want to develop the ROMs for this device then you don't get the custom ROMs forever unless you develop yourself

Why redmi note 7 did not get official stuffs?

Hi guys,
I'm wondering why redmi note 7 doesn't have official stuffs. Most important is TWRP.
But it don't have pixel experience or Lineage too, the 2 most biggest rom.
I know unofficial build exist, but personally i don't really like to use them. We don't know what they did put into them, what they did.
Is there any technical explanation or just every dev bought a redmi note 7 pro? But i don't think so because the pro isn't launched worldwide.
I'm really missing an official twrp at least
smae with me bro...
there really won't be a difference between unofficial and official. the only "benefit" from official is having the download link available on the rom's official page; daily usage wise they should be identical. if anything a rebase after going official might make the rom buggier in the short term, but roms here are stable enough as they are. it's only your loss if you refuse to use working roms simply because they are unofficial, and sooner or later they will have the official status anyway.
your point about official twrp is valid though, having 3 twrps is really confusing.
Well, official TWRP isn't there but official OrangeFox recovery based on latest TWRP is there.
Also there isn't official Pixel Experience ROM but there is official AOSP Extended ROM, SybarianOS ROM, Evolution X ROM.
You just have to wait for those, which aren't has official support. As far as I know, after a week or two the official Pixel Experience ROM is coming.
Like I said up there, you have to wait. Don't be hurry-ish like that.
OrangeFox is already live, and stable, it´s way better than twrp, abour roms, just hang cus it might take some time before get lineageOs and other going official

What is the advantage of unofficial roms over their Official versions

I am fairly new to this flashing of custom roms and stuff, but I've noticed that ROMs like LineageOS have a thread with their Unofficial versions recently updated even though LOS officially supports it, is there a difference in their features or what?

There is no difference between official and unofficial in features. Unofficial build have some small bugs. Due to this bugs it is rejected for official build. This bugs can be neglected by users.
