Hi there,
Here is a p905! I have been a happy user of Valera's developed Lineage OS 14.1 then I dropped the tablet for a while and came back resurrecting it nowadays. There are many viable possibilities YetanotherMarshmellow, CrDroid 10.1, LineageOS and so on but... do you feel secure using custom ROMs while logging your personal account on common apps or accessing your master email? I mean, back to days I used to flash every security update but every time the entire unofficial LineageOS for Note Pro 12.2 version was changing I opted for a full wipe and a fresh start instead of a dirty flash (it was a bit of a hog of time because of setting up everything from scratch), especially because since the new version came out no security patches were released for the older one.

How do you feel about sticking to an older version of your custom ROM without up to date security patches? :confused:

Is there any ROMs for this hardware where you can easily update security patches without being forced to jump to a new version, so avoiding the probable loss of features (palm rejection, for example), new bugs and related?

I am looking for a custom ROM mainly to be back drawing on this beautiful screen and to take notes, but I'd like to feel at the same time enough secure of my data: feel free to suggest!

Thank you :fingers-crossed:
