What's best android 7.1 ROM for this device?
There are many: LOS, RR, AOSP 7.1.1 etc
And if possible, a good gapps package to flash. Heard play services is very resources hungry, but may be tamed

Dear MI 4i users,
We have got a lot of Nougat ROMs for our device recently and most of them are being actively developed.
You may have tried some of them, or may be wanting to try one now. But, with so many available ROMs, you'll be easily confused as to which is the best one yet for your daily use. So, here is little help for you to sort it out.
Note: If you have already tried the ROMs, please vote for your favourite one and help others to decide. You can also share your thoughts on the ROMs you've tried so far in this thread
List of best Nougat based ROMs for MI 4i
[*]AICP 12.1
AICP aka Android Ice Cold Project is highly customisable ROM with lot of features and best community. It also has highly active development with nightly builds, just like CM(used to be )
[*]AOSPExtended
AOSP Extended is an AOSP based rom which provides stock UI/UX with various customisations features along with the Substratum theme engine. The project has been made by cherry-picking various commits from various other projects. Being based on AOSP it provides a smooth and lag-free experience out of the box. We will constantly try to add more features and make it even better in future updates. A ROM by a user, for a user. #StayAOSP #ExtendYourDevice
[*]crDroid 7.1
[*]CyanogenMod 14.1
CyanogenMod is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 7.0 (Nougat), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.
CyanogenMod is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community.
[*]PixelROM
PixelROM is a custom firmware aka ROM for various Android devices. It is built from CyanogenMod 14.1 with additional features, performance and battery life improvements.
The idea behind PixelROM is to give users a ROM that is "blazing fast and buttery smooth".
[*]Resurrection Remix
Resurrection Remix the ROM has been based on CM, Slim Omni and original Remix ROM builds, this creates an awesome combination of performance, customization, power and the most new features, brought directly to your device
[*]Slim7
SlimRoms is a custom android operating system. Our main goal is to offer users a slimmed down yet feature rich alternative to other android operating systems.
The entire SlimTeam work together to bring you this tailor-made beauty straight from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.
[*]XOSP 7
Common features:
All ROMs are either LineageOS or AOSP based. So, at minimum, you can definitely see the feature set of LineageOS(or CyanogenMod formely) in all ROMs.
AOSP based ROMS like Slim7, AICP may additionally have their own custom features which are very useful and allow a high-degree of customisation.
Effectively, all the ROMs add their own flavour to the sweeetness of Nougat to make your device a pleasure in hand. :fingers-crossed:
Important : Go through respective ROM thread list of bugs and respective solutions, if any.
•=============================== A VERY USEFUL TIP ===============================• If you're flashing a new Nougat ROM on top of existing Nougat ROM, then there is no need to back-up everything everytime. Just wipe Cache and Dalvik/ART in TWRP and then flash the new ROM.
First boot will take 4~6 minutes irrespective of ROM and it's normal.
This works because all of the ROMs above have same base (7.1.1). I've personally tested this trick and it worked for CM14.1 <-> AICP12.1 <-> PixelROM.
It should work for other ROMs too. I'll let you know when I try or you can try and share the result.
A big advantage of this trick is that all the apps will be preserved and even the customisation you had done will be restored when you revert back to previous ROM. But note that this may break some Gapps because all ROMs don't support same package.
Finally, be warned: this method works only for switching between Nougat ROMs given above. Don't try this if you're on a different ROM.
that trick will works fine now
but when CM theme engine comes up
you can't dirty flash a CM theme engine rom with OMS rom :/

1. Of course. I'll warn when that happens. But, are you suggesting that LineageOS team is working on their own gene engine? Because, that would be great considering the simplicity of CMTE.
2. I have already added it to the list.

Can someone recommend me rom + kernel combo for the fastest expirience?
I am currently using cr droid and I find it perfect for my needs, but will a kernel help with the performance and make the phone faster? If yes what kernel do you recommend?

Substratum is not working properly on lineage
add aosip and aospext they are better
Aicp vs pixel rom...what do you think its better?
hey what about viper rom . plss develop one for mi4i also
Anyone tried slimrom.?? Is it stable???
AospExtended ?
crDroid is good, AICP 12.1 also works great.
BTW you should add AospExtended to your list.
In my opinion it is cleaner and smoother compared to other Android N roms.

AospExtended ROM
Hello, i'd like to know the difference between RROS, AOSPA, LineageOS and AICP roms.
What's the difference ? Is it software, UI ?
Hello
The difference of RROS, it's a better version of LineageOS based CyanogenMod with more features. For AOSPA, it's a rom based AOSP, a pure version of Android (Snapchat and Pokemon GO work in this rom )
What are these added features RROS have ? I've been looking around but I couldn't find.
The main difference in RROS is customizing buttons (if hardware ones), and modifications of every element in the UI (time, clock, recents...etc) unlike AOSPA which is close to pure android (what google have on pixel) with less features added on top.

RROS and Lineage have their own bases. RR is LineageOS based. Both of them have more features than AOSP(Android Open Source Project) AOSPA(Paranoid Android) is based off AOSP. AOSP based ROMs are smoother, have better battery in general but have less features.
like aosp but updated cause the one we have has no updates
You did not tell us if you have Osprey or Merlin phone. If you have an Osprey, like me:
I guess the ported stock Nougat ROM will be the most basic. Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/20.../rom-stock-rom-6-0-1-optimized-t3609991/page1
Check this thread for further ROM suggestions for Osprey:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/help/rom-moto-g-xt1541-osprey-t3658721
Or just search through the Original Android Development forum for all different G3 variants:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development
Lineage OS is also a great Nougat rom. Almost AOSP, no heavy customization and great stability
If you do go for more customizations AOSP Extended is great
Pure Nexus ROM: very stable (my daily driver and never found any issue), smooth and very simple and light ROM ?
LineageOS or aosp-caf, I’d say
I agree with @nubry Purenexus is my favorite for a close to AOSP rom.
in your experience with custom roms with marshmallow and nougat which is the most stable? ?

Viper OS, Lineage os 14.1 , and personally,MIUI 8 and Flyme 6, although it is if you are not very demanding with the applications that you use, if you are looking for something different
and well if you're interested in a rom oreo, Cosmic OS 8.0 and Bootleggers 8.1 is the one I have in use

Don't flash gapps. If you need playstore you will have to sign in to google.
You can flaah any rom without gapps.

Both becomes unstable after a few days. So I don't really use it anymore. Try Blackbird OS. It's the one I am using now. Just recently released. It's good.
