I look through the Dev forum here and I see a host of lollipop builds, some claiming to be official, some claiming to be unofficial, most seem to be derivative of CM12.
So Just what is the difference between an Official ROM and an Unofficial ROM?
Surely the only "Official" CM12 ROM is from https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=t0lte (for the n7105)?
I am looking to upgrade my p607t from lollipop 5.1.1 to either {RR-N-v5.8.4-20170808-lt03lte-Unofficial} or {lineage-14.1-20170816-nightly-lt03lte-signed}.
I would like to get some opinions..... which one do you prefer? I like what i hear about the customization options from RR, but I am concerned about the unofficial version, and how easy/difficult it would be to update it as necessary. I was also wondering how the battery life and stability compare.
Thanks all
RR unofficial has the same few bugs as Lineage unofficial, as they are from the same dev, Lineage official is said to be in a hardly useable state.
Are we never gonna have any custom ROMs for this device now :/ ? Can someone at least port a working Oreo/Nougat ROM from Moto G5 Plus for Montana?
I'll be highly obliged.
Thank you so much in advance.
There's already LineageOS 15.1 and CRDroid Oreo too, check it out
Hello guys,
There is a lot of customs roms for our OP3T but why there is no Oxygen OS roms unnoficial (based on the latest OOS build) for our OP3T, since OOS is a very good os, i don't understand.
It's not possible ?
Thanks guys
There are OOS based ROMs such as theOne3OS, Experience etc. They have mostly been debloated versions of the official ROM with some baked-in enhancements like Magisk modules. There are no OOS ROMs based on Android 10 AFAIK. Not sure how difficult it is to port stable official Android 10 ROMs from other OnePlus devices.

OOS is closed source - nobody (but OnePlus) has source code for. The non-OOS custom roms are source build (aosp and caf open source based). The OOS based roms are just repacks of the original OOS. OOS is no longer supported for op3/t - after OOS 9.0.6 there is nothing to repack.
Like the others said repacks are availible, if you want to try to run a newer oxygen os version than is officially availible you have the biggest chance with the unofficial gsi support route and a oxygenos gsi rom. But i don't expect it to work well so only do it if you enjoy tinkering with your phone and are an experienced flasher who has the neccesary backups.
OneUi is closed source too.
Why have old galaxy phones OneUi-costum rom from new galaxy Devices?

Hard to say on this general basis. Maybe gsi.
I suggest you read the threads of such roms and ask the dev if those threads doesn't answer your question.
Then you can do the same for oos. I'm sure many people will appriciate your work.
Hi, I'd like to know the difference between unofficial and official custom rom releases.
1) What is the difference between an official release and an unofficial release? Is there any difference in their updating process?
2) Can you explain me the process of birth of an official release since the source code release? How an official releaser is chosen? For example LOS 17 doesn't have an official build yet, is one year after its first release. Why?
3) Almost any other oneplus smartphone got 17.1 but 5T not. Why? Is it less supported by community?
Any additional explanation will be very useful and appreciated.
