I understand that probably there is little interest if you are a device ROM maintainer to embed a backdoor into it. But it’s still possible. Lineage has a fairly simple and open build process. Should I do it on my own? Or should I trust the maintainers and not bother? What are your thoughts?

    even if you compiled the code yourself, unless you can audit code yourself you still have to just trust the developers

    That is what I was referring to. What I was saying is even if you cant audit the source code you still have reasons to trust the code

      Yeah, I have many reasons to trust the code. Definetly. If it is in build and nothing else then we are good!
