Merging security patches to lineage OS - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Anyone knows how to merge security patches to lineage OS?
Tree for lineage OS 16 from Payton got last update in 2020 (https://github.com/LineageOS/android_device_motorola_payton/tree/lineage-16.0) but I would like to continue using Android 9 pie.

Just build the ROM.
Code:
~/bin/repo sync
will get the updates

Security updates?

I have the sm-t713 variant. Security update of August 2017.
Does Samsung send out regular updates for these Tabs?
I'm coming from a Nexus 7 with an Oreo ROM and was spoiled with monthly updates. TIA.

I came to this site looking to security updates, too. My Galaxy Tab S2 (wi-fi) , Android version 7.0, shows Android security patch level: April 1, 2017. I have tried "Download updates manually" and it says it is up to date. Is there a way to force a newer security update? Do I have to root and install a custom ROM to get this device secure?
Well, the LineageOS builds are up to date in Security Update matters... ^^

I have the 2016 S2 8.0 but my patch level is August 2017. Since the security patches are now at least 6 months behind, I have a feeling we won't be seeing any more. Is yours the 2015 version? Maybe that's why it's even further behind than mine. I will probably flash LineageOS 15.1 at some point although I don't need its features.
BTW, you don't have to root to flash a custom ROM. Just flash TWRP with Odin and then flash a new ROM and Gapps with TWRP. Rooting is optional on LineageOS.

One more question if I may? After installing LineageOS or other custom ROMS, will they get the regular monthly security patches?

LineageOS generally has weekly updates so every 4 weeks or so, the security patch gets updated (as long as the developer maintains the ROM.) Some of the less popular ROMs may not see updates as regularly.
Right now we are @ 05.01.18 as patch level, next one will follow soon
EDIT: Like... now: @ 05.02.18

Security patch

Is it better to have an Android 10 rom without a security patch or a rom with a security patch? Are security patches really useful?
Thanks

Keeping my P9 up-to-date. Recommendation please.

Hi Folks.
I am running my P9 with OpenKirin LOS 16.0 Built_6 and [8.0.0.540+] Insane Kernel 1.0.2 for Huawei P9
Now i think there are no more security updates for Openkiri, last Update Oct 2020 (?).
Which LOS derivate should be used, possibly with microG? I have minimal specs but want to have security updates...

Have you looked into P9 ROMs and this thread:
Thread '[ROM][Treble][microG]LineageOS 16.0 for HUAWEI P9' https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-treble-microg-lineageos-16-0-for-huawei-p9.4078383/
