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?

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
