I am presently on 6.5.6.1. It lags a lot. Miui is very heavy. Too much bloatware and system apps. Too less free RAM. I was wondering could any of the devs working on cyanogenmod or and other devs could come up or port a lighter and more snappy ROM for mi4i. I think cm will take time so is there any way of getting a better ROM earlier? Also are dev ROMs any better than these inbuilt global ROMs? Will they provide a better experience?

This is niche phone, it doesn't have as broad a following as Samsung, LG or HTC. You'll just have to wait. To answer your question, yes a custom ROM will be better in regards to memory as MIUI has some of the worst RAM managing I've ever seen. Damn this phone chugs through it's memory. MIUI is just too heavy.. And they still talk about how the Lollipop build is still new.. So.. In terms of responsiveness, I'd say Cyanogen or any AOSP rom is worth waiting for as MIUI is heavy and 8 cores in itself doesn't make the device fast, you can have all the cores in the world, but if they were all clocked at like 1GHz the simplest tasks would still be slow. These cores are not the fastest, so running MIUI on them is just a bad idea from the get go. Granted I hoped source code would have been released earlier, but now that Cyanogen is being tested, all there's left to do is wait. And yes, it can ONLY get better.
MIUI is **** anyways. Just putting it out there. ^^ - Sorry if that offends, but it is. I bought this phone for the price and to see if it runs AOSP well, if it does, it's a win. If not, I'll sell it again and go buy a phone that actually runs as if it's 2014/15.. Meaning that at least I can open Google Play Music without counting to 5 before it goes from minimized to ready on my screen, lol. How embarrassing. Cyanogen all the way. Light and smooth.. MIUI is everything wrong with bloated stock roms. ^^ This turned into a rant, lul.

Mobile gets rebooted continuously
Hi,
I am using mi4i phone,it was working properly, but since last night I am facing continues rebooting problem, even when I power off my phone, it does not get power off, it just rebooting.
I have shifted my rom from MIUI v6.7.2.0LXIMICH to MIUI v6.6.10.0LXIMICF, then also I am facing the same problem.
Plz help me to solve this problem.

Hi,
Is there a ROM comparison chart somewhere for Nexus S?
I'm looking forward to a ROM, which is:
based on 2.3.4.
has a notification power widget.
has 3G SIP calling.
(sort of) stable.
fast.
Some nice to have features:
Lock-screen tweaks.
Battery percentage hack.
Permission management.
Any ideas?
CM7 nightly seemed to be a good choice, but it freezes time to time.
I am using infin1ty. Solid as a rock and fast too.
I think it fulfils your wish list.

Thanks for the tips! I've just flashed the latest infin1ty.
There are some nice touch, like working Video Chat and a nice Battery icon, but two things bug me:
Skype crashes
Seems laggy to me a little, even laggier when CM7 nightly.
I'll keep trying it and we'll see...

I've been running Infin1ty for a few days, upgraded to the new version this morning and really no lag on my end. Hated the battery icon so built a new one in UOT Kitchen and now it's looking good.

i played arround a bit with the cpu settings (No-frills CPU control) and voltage settings (proton) and i got a really smooth fast and stable rom. so just give it a try

Just give them all a test ride and see which one you like best. I'm on superasop ATM and so far it's been the snappiest rom I've tried. Still not perfect though.
It has everything in your list though.

Use benchmark in the android market.
Just to give this a bump as I'm looking for the same thing as OP but would like to know more about what everyone thinks. I m on cm7.0.3 atm and its really frustrating how it restarts out of the blue or gets into a bootloop. with the features listed by the OP, which rom is the most stable?
Good idea...
SuperAosp has been really, really good to me. I did an original wipe and reinstall a month ago, and it is has been really good and snappy ever since, even through non-wipe upgrades to ROM.

I'm using ZuluZulu rom, fast and stable. Tried lot of cm based roms but this one is almost no random reboot like cm.

I've just flashed SuperAosp. First impressions:
Really nice icons and theme.
Nice animations!
Video chat is nice, but it works only one way. I can see both myself and the called party on the phone, but the called party cannot see me on Gmail. Might not be related to the ROM, though.
ROM Manager is crashing. I can live without that app, though.
Very laggy. I expect the operating system to react immediately, but sometimes it lags for 1 sec or more when the system is busy. This is most probably due to I/O scheduling issues.
I'll probably give other ROMs a try as well.

I've tested ZuluZulu: I flashed it, factory reset, set my accounts up, started to restore the Apps with Titanium Backup, and all of a sudden, it rebooted.
My first impression was that it is a pretty responsive ROM, but somehow this reboot did not make me happy.

Well even a stock rom gets a random reboot, just give it time. As long as a rom doesn't random hung or reboot in a call that's a keeper for me. Anyway you have your own idea on what you want in a rom. Hope you find one.

I'm currently on the Bugless Beast ROM, and it is very stable and pretty much like the name says without bugs, I have yet to have a problem with it.
However I have been thinking of going to MIUI, but I don't know how stable and/or fast it would be compared to my current ROM.
So what is your opinion?
Anyone know?
Almost-stable but..
Too low available memory and low speed makes me use CM9.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
MIUI is not as stable as the ics roms. I sometimes get lag such as the MIUI locker. There is still lots of bug. But it is stable enough for daily use.
But the recent update makes the contacts in small photos. So i switch back to codename android rom.
You can give it a try.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
Thanks, I guess I'll just say with BB, I like ROMs fast and as stable as possible.
Although, according to the ICS ROM Benchmarks Nexus S List, there are two MIUI ROMs in the top five. Catalyst MIUI, one of my favorite ROMs, is a bit laggy. Perhaps, because it has Force GPU Rendering and Keep Launcher in Memory checked but then again I haven't tried it with those settings unchecked.
I would give it a try. It is really a beautiful ROM (something different).

I also love MIUI due to its interface
MIUI is still in early development, so the MIUI team does not optimize the rom so much.
That's why MIUI has sudden lag and is buggy.

You could try MIUIXperience! It's a great option for MIUI with several tweaks and themes. Awesome ROM with great battery life and performance.

I really hate how I flash a new from every day. I though jb was good at first but not like everyone else I have my doubts. A little to "heavy" doesn't feel right on my phone. I really appreciate ics and it feels alright on my phone, but I really miss gingebreads reliability and speed, just curious, does anyone else feel the same? Should I just switch to gingerbread again? Is other a way to keep some features of ics on gingerbread?

I used to run CM7 and CM9 on my i9023 nexus s.. and I found CM7 to be really unstable. I switched to a CM9 nightly and it was a godsend.. smoother, more attractive and 10x more stable! but I found it sort of "slowed down" after about 3 months.. just a circumstantial observation though, didn't do any tests.
I'm hooking up my friends with a couple of Nexus S's shortly because they need phones. I'm thinking of giving them CM9, rather than 10, for better battery life. But I'm guessing CM9 is susceptible to the SMS remote wipe hack? haven't tested it.
Personally I never liked cyanogenmod up until 9.0 , I'm on cm9 right now but it random reboot & hangs :/ cm10 seems pointless to me.

I have stuck with stock one on both my droids. I find these roms useless because I have always found an app that can do what these roms can do
i try most roms out thier , the best are slim cm9, remics 1.1 both ics
Whatif the phone's rom memory gets a few bad blocks due to repetitive flashing?
Remics is probably one of the best roms I've seen put out for nexus s, so nice , but I just feel the need to switch sometimes. And I had no idea that that would effect my phone

true dat. I remember when AOKP came out with their first JB rom, it was so unstable; rebooted my phone every 10 mins and I flashed cm10 and was happy for a while but it then started to do the same thing. Then i went to paranoid and it was even worse; so i went back to cm10. and then AOKP JB build came out and i was skeptical about getting it because of my first experience with them but I gave it a try and I have been flashing AOKP all the way up to build 4 and let me tell you; BEST ****ING ROM ON JB right now. My phone never crashes; never lags, and is super crazy smooth/fast!

Thing is, every rom is fast and smooth right after you flash it. In order to talk so good about one, I'd say you need to keep it for, at least, 3 months. If it's still stable and fast, with no wipes needed, no daily reboots, I'd believe you.

AOKP JB is very stable now. I haven't wiped since the nightlies, up to build 4 currently. I flash new build/nightly as soon as it's available. 3 months? Don't think I can hold for even a few days after new build is released.

Okay so i have a nexus 10 and as most of you already know it is a fast tablet, but it is still kinda slow, in quadrant standard i could somtimes get it to bench above the one x. so i was wondering if you guys would tell me what i need to do to up its performance. I'm running cyanogen mod 10.1, i was thinking about going to paranoid or AOKP, but im not sure how well they do performance wise. I also want the rom to be pretty customizable also, im not sure what ''using a differant kernal'' means....or how to do it. Any help is appreciated

The AOKP PUB ROM for the nexus 10 has been great! There are tons of customization options as well. I have installed the Franco kernel and find the tablet to be much more responsive. This kernel is easy to install too, there is an app in the play store that let's you automatically flash the kernel to your device.
Thanks, so all I have to do is install the app....Im new to this and are one of those worried people who dont want to end up with a really nice $500 paperweight if you know what I'm saying?

Is there a forum consensus on what the best Jellybean ROM ever produced was? I remember using Jellyshot back in the day with Marmite kernel.
I am just sick of KitKat it runs like a dog.
I would prefer as stock as possible but with volume wake and voodoo sound mod.

It's tough, since all recommended ROMs seem to be dead, according to my research.
- Carbon: doesn't support crespo anymore.
- Pixel ROM (first place at Setting.Out's chart - unless I got the wrong chart): discontinued
- Helly Bean: apparently discontinued. Can't find a download link.
I tried C10 and 11 and both battery life and performance (my main - and almost only - concerns) have been miserable.
There seem to be some new ROMs, but not much info about them. Right now I too don't know which one to use.
Give me some time and I'll upload a folder of ROMs I have, so you can try them..
Sent from my A001 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah its a shame about the lack of development for the Nexus S but I don't blame them. Nothing last for ever and the devs want to move onto bigger and better devices.
I am currently trying the latest CM 11 nightly and its pretty good! I think I am going to stick with CM11 and see where it goes. Battery life is not as good as other ROM's and I also miss the dpi of Slimkat, but I suppose I could try a custom launcher if I want to change that in the future.
So CM11 all the way! (for now )
By reading Setting.Out's posts in many different threads and realizing how many hours he may have dedicated to this device, I concluded that following his steps would be the most sensible thing to do atm. Therefore I'm now trying CyanAOSP (straight from his signature) with his amazingly light Gapps package, and for me it's working way better than the CMs I tried before. Will search a bit more for possible improvements in kernel, governor and most likely Greenify, but I think I'll be ok with CyanAOSP.
As promised
-here- is a link to all the files I had left on my computer.. they are still uploading (+/- 17gb)
HAPPY FLASHING
Strawberry / Metal Dragon Overlord by knzo is the best jellybean rom.
