The iode.tech website contains the page iodéOS official supported devices - iodé which
- lists officially supported devices
- links to a a list in this forum of unofficially supported models
Plenty of references is the LineageOS Wiki pages to official and unofficial builds e.g, Frequently Asked Questions | LineageOS Wiki
The /e/OS is different: here there are /e/OS “official” and “commuity” builds
That used to be “official” and “unofficial” (and “custom”), and there used to be a very clear statement of what qualified for each build type, which is the definition we continue to use for our unofficial IodéOS (and LineageOS for microG) builds : basically
- Official builds are made and released by /e/ or Iodé and signed with their official keys
- Unofficial builds are built using the same unmodified source code as official builds, but are not built by the company, and are signed with the builder’s own keys, or with test keys
- Custom builds are built with source code that is has been modified in some way.
That was admirably clear, and it is a shame they changed their definitions, to blur the distinction between builds made by /e/ but not fully tested, and builds made by community members. But the unofficial builds in this and other threads all qualify as ‘unofficial’ according to the definition: i.e. they are built using unmodified source code and signed with the keys of the builder.
As stated in another thread.
These builds are definitely “unofficial” … The fact that the name of the ROM zip files do not include the text “UNOFFICIAL” is a bug in the Docker image that we use for building , which I hope will be corrected soon.
