Android OS - custom roms - is it safe?

Question

I just wanted to know is it really safe to sign into your google account through custom roms without risking leakage/ stolen password or having your google account stolen?

Thanks

Answer 1

That will depend on the custom ROM in question. Basically, I suggest you stick to the well-known ones, such as CyanogenMod and Modaco (and others, according to your device). When working with an unknown ROM, I usually use a newly created google account for the testing.
