[Q] Official MIUI or custom MIUI (ie WIUI)?

Hey guys,
I have flashed an ICS ROM 3 days ago, but it doesn't really work that well it was my first custom ROM I flashed in my life
But I decided to try MIUI. So I found this guy called Wajk, and he made this ROM called WIUI. My question to you guys is, can I expect the same (or even better) of a custom MIUI ROM as an official one? And even more important: Will I get the weekly updates?
Maybe some of you have had expierences with custom MIUI ROMs, should I choose the official MIUI ROM or a custom one?
Thanks guys!
P.S. Hope I'm doing this right, first time here on XDA for a long time
You'll get weekly updates if the developer updates his/hers rom every week, and you flash it again every time. But this is unlikely.
I'm myself using a custom MIUI rom, and I love it. Only problems are the built-in screenshot app doesn't work, and the Extended Settings app works neither.
Anyways, it is worth at least trying. Frankly, I think this is the best rom for my phone. All kinds of themes and lockscreens work.

There is currently no official release of KitKat for your device. I don't know if Samsung will ever release KitKat for your device.
What you can do is try to find a custom KitKat rom for your device. I haven't searched for any, but if there is a custom rom for your device, it's sure to be on XDA.
Flashing a custom ROM means you will lose all Samsung software and S apps like S Planner, S voice..etc. But you might end up loving your phone even more and the stock android experience. Plus, there are a lot of new features that you can find in custom roms.
To get started with custom roms, you will definitely need a custom recovery installed. You should start reading on what this means. A lot of reading. You can easily find information on google, videos on youtube, and lots of sites with instructions.
Flashing roms can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing. Make sure you read very carefully and flash roms, kernels and recoveries that have been made specifically for your device. Anything else will probably brick your phone.
And always search on XDA, or post a question if you are not sure.

Custom Rom with pushed updates?

Hey guys ! I'm kind of slowing down on flashing Roms now. What are some Roms that have pushed updates into devices? Besides cyanogenmod?
Bump looking for roms that have included otas. I see omni Rom has them, any others?

Question Custom ROM updates

Hello, sorry for the newbie question but I am new to the custom ROMs thing.
I'd like to install the OxygenOS Port on my X3 Pro and I am wondering if, after doing so, I'll be able to install updates OTA. Or I will have to install every future update manually.
If not possible, what good custom ROMs provide that, if any ?
Thank you
ArrowOS has working OTA updates, idk about others.
