Question What's the benefit of Custom ROM developers? Why do they build custom ROM?

[sim3hstu]

I actually much interested to know the benefits of custom rom providers. Why do they do it? Are these roms secure enough? TIA

There are millions of developers around the world providing free and open source softwares out of their free time. Not everything in the world is for money or getting something. Many do it for the passion. It's what they love.

Official roms is safe

Pretty sure this was from official Evolution X ROM. While I doubt that it was the maintainer who "hacked" their account (using a name that can be traced back to you is kinda stupid IMO + this isn't their first ROM), how do you make sure they're safe? Are the codes compared to the source before being distributed? Do people actually looks into the source code before installing them?

The way I see it, a lot of actors can turn these ROMs malicious, from the dev team to the maintainers etc., so you're just relying on trust. I'm not saying they would, I'm just saying they could and most people probably wouldn't notice. Hopefully, someone can prove me wrong and easy my worry.
