i see official builds are coming up right now but no LOS official build till now
so it's coming this days ?
All Android 8.1 ROMs still have the exact same bugs. Just because dotOS or crDroid chose to already go for 'official' status doesn't mean they're any more stable than Lineage. It just undermines what 'official' should stand for - a ROM where everything works. I'd rather that development took its time and the 'official' status really meant something.

What does it take for a ROM to move from unofficial to official or is that not how it works? For example, I run cm11 official because its official. I would like to run cm12 but it says unofficial.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.. But... Unofficial is usually when someone compiles the build themselves and share. They sometimes add commits that have not been merged into official builds. Sometimes add add-ons that may not be supported in official builds. Sometimes a dev team may not have a maintainer for a specific official build. Most times unofficial builds aren't always as dependant as official. Sometimes they can be better.
As for CM 12. It went official last night. They are nightly builds, but they are official now. The thread is in the original development section. You can go to the CM site and it shows all the official 11 builds and then starting with 1/6 it is now on official 12 nightly. Hope that helps. ?
Just to clarify. The official CM11 thread is where to go for more info right now. Sure they will probably start a new one soon, but the link still takes you to CM and the latest build is the CM 12 from today 1/6. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=vs985&type=nightly
The situation with Nougat ROMs is a bit confusing for me so I have several questions:
First question:
@andr68rus is working on several N ROMs at the same time:
Resurrection Remix
Dirty Unicorns 7.1.2
AOKP ROM for LeMax 2
Can you tell which one's the best, most future proof project? Did he even stop maintaining on of them?
Second question:
What about the official Lineage Builds?
How well maintained are they? Is this the way to go in the future?
Third question: I'm currently using TeamWin twrp-3.0.2-1-x2. Do I need a new TWRP for N?
Thanks for eventual help.
Aside from Dirty Unicorns, most of the ROMs are Lineage based. I believe @andr68rus is taking a break from DU to focus on resolving issues in the Lineage based ROMs he's building.
In fact, I believe most of the Nougat ROMs (not just andr68us') are based off the work done for Lineage 14.1 so it will probably be the best maintained. I've switched to the Unofficial Lineage 14.1 for now and probably will go with the Official (assuming it goes official, though I don't see why it wouldn't) unless some other ROM has a feature that's "must have" to me.
With regards to TWRP, I think your's should be fine, but you might want to give MultiROM a try so you can switch between ROMs. I currently have LOS 14.1 as my internal, and DU 7.1.2 & AOKP - MM as secondaries. I'm using Lineage as my daily driver, but it's nice to know I can boot back to AOKP if I have an issue. I didn't have problems with DU, but I didn't place any calls and I saw some complaints about things like echo and call volume, which is why I went to Lineage. DU did feel a bit "smoother' to me, but I'm not sure if it's just placebo because it was the first Nougat ROM I used, or if it's because it's AOSP rather than Lineage based.
When using MultiROM, just don't freak out if flashing a ROM messes up your PIN codes in all your other ROMs. There's a flashable zip to remove the pin codes from a ROM (which really just deletes a few files) and afterwards you can add you PIN back.
Thanks for the answer. With Official Lineage I've meant the ROMs from download[DOT]lineageos[DOT]org/x2 . The thing I don't understand is how well maintained that is. Do they have their own people working on the ROM, or are those people from here?
Edit: I just realized that the ROMs there are 13.0 which is supposedly Android 6.0. So there are no official Lineage 14 ROMs jet. That's where my confusion came from.

I'm using your Lineage 13.0 UNOFFICIAL atm. I've tried AOKP but the battery drain was too high. The 13.0 seems fine. I guess I'll wait a bit till the N ROMs a more mature.
Since the last one month there has been no update, no replies from the developer of lineage os 15 oreo build which has volte. Nor the trees are being released, so that others can implement. We users here are like sitting ducks. Is everything okay?
Grow up.
Well tbh abhisekh has not committed to you or me that he will update los 15 daily , weekly or monthly . So you cannot say why there is no update . Its been a month or two.. it doesn't matter how many days have passed. He or any other maintainer/developer builds rom in their free time xda doesn't pay them for building roms .
Regarding updating device tree its upto him ..when he wants to push the updated codes /commits .
The only thing you as an user can do is just enjoy whatever you are getting or roll back to previous android version or go back to stock miui or get a new device which you think has a great development in Oreo ..
Guys I am on miui 9 but I want to swap to a custom rom. So which will be the best custom rom for the device (Indian Variant) till the date (Dec 17)? Testers and devs please reply. I hope this will be a useful for new users too on XDA.
There are tons of Roms to choose from...
Currently I'm on LineageOS 15 unofficial build by @abhishek987, this just Rocks.
About nougat Roms? Yeah, there are already bunch of Nougat Roms.
Bugs?
NOMMUCH, but the flash color is yellow (just an FYI)
I think Oreo is not ready just yet.. I am on RR and I enjoy it a lot! Alexey provides unofficial build frequently, and they have absolutely no problem. Everything is great, and if you need customization, it is the way to go. If you want a near stock experience go for LineageOS, 14.1 or 15, tor choice.
I would like a LineageOS based rom. Then What will be your suggestions on L14 Based stable rom? And I am recently following your Index of The device. Thanx in adv mate @sachin n
Yeah I am a Big fan of RR. Is the RR 5.8.5 stable? Cause i saw on the thread saying that It is Final but status is still Testing So If you can suggest me any stable nougat version of RR with link then that will be so much helpful and bugs in short if there any. Thnx you man in adv. @ToRt1sher
Ii has been incredibly stable for me. I think 0 crash/ random restart since day 1! I am on the unofficial build, which does not have a dedicated thread. But half the post on that thread refer to the unofficial one. The only bad thing is that there are 2 different builds, each with different LED notification driver. If it doesn't behave properly you will have to flash the other one, but that's like, a ten minute business.
Is this the Rom's link you are talking about?
https://sourceforge.net/projects/resurrectionremix/files/mido/
Please confirm if. If it is not then kindly share the link @ToRt1sher
@sachin n which kernel do you use with Linos 15 , stock or somthing else
Stock only
I recommand los 14.1 It's very stable, lightweight and you can root it without losing ota function...everything is fine!
This is the official. It is certainly very good, but outdated by 2 months. Alexey just made a final build a few days ago..

These are the 2 builds, with different LED drivers. Try them out, pick the one that works with your specific device.
Crdroid and resurrection remix
All the ROMS are crap here.... some form of bugs are present.. If you want to live with it, use them. If you are going to use BHIM for online transactions then rooted phones are not supported. Better to use official MIUI rom which has most of the features.
@viewedit Did you try magisk hide or root cloak (xposed) to use bhim? works on my slim rom?
I'm just wondering what are the possible reasons why an Official Lineage 17 isn't out yet. Is it because it doesn't have a maintainer or is it something else?
Proprietary_vendor_xiaomi is still down due to the DCMA take down... until they decide what they want to do with the material that contributed to the take down there will be never an OFFICIAL lineage based rom from them. There may be unofficial for sure which is going to be just as good but no official builds

Firstly, Official Pie builds are still up. So nothing is down or stopped.
Secondly, Official LineageOS 17 is not up because it does not exist yet for any device.
Tell me one device which has Official Lineage 17.
Let LineageOS finalise it first. You cannot have something that does not exist.
Please do not spread mis-information.
