In 2014 and 2015 I have been using many custom roms such as Paranoid Android , Carbon ROM , etc . But now most of them are inactive or dead . What is the reason behind this does anyone know

Why don't you ask them personally?
Because they have issues in Real Life™, just like all of us. Might be personal, might be not so personal, or might be a technical problem.
http://www.androidauthority.com/paranoid-android-calling-it-quits-648429/
Paranoid Android couldn't continue after OnePlus hired few of them.
Possible reasons:
1. Big vendors hired part/full ROM dev team
2. ROM devs lost the interest
3. Rom devs thinks its useless to continue cause the special ROM features are now integrated into aosp
4. Personal problems in the life of the ROM devs
5. Problems in the ROM team itself

It's sad to see that PA is no more, it was one of my all time favourites, but i wouldn't say that Rom development is dead for the Mi3, we still have regular updates on MM roms, including Official CM and RR. But i did notice that kernel development completely stopped very suddently...
First of all, it's amazing how far Mi5 has come in terms of development and developer attention. There was a time when all this subforum had was 2-3 unofficial TWRPs, and that's it.
Now there are an amazing number of ROMs available. But the increase in variety has brought with it increasing confusion. A lot of the features overlap. Which ROM to flash? Do we just keep on cycling between them till we find the best match for us?
So I would appreciate if we could document the differences between the various ROMs in terms of features, stability, lack of bloat, etc., to help users choose the one suited to them.
@33bca, your input would particularly help, since you've provided almost half the ROMs in this subforum.
Marshmallow:
Official CM 13 (stable snapshots)
-really light
-boots really fast
-no network traffic indicator
AOSP (JDC)
-has substratum theme engine
Dirty Unicorns
PAC-ROM
AOSP-CAF
Paranoid Android
AICP
Mokee
Old ROMs (not recommended):
Hexagon
AOKP
crDroid
BeanStalk
SlimROM
Tipsy-OS
H2OS
BlissROM
ZephyrOS
Resurrection Remix
-quite a heavy ROM (system takes up 10GB )
-boots slower than CM 13
-fast charging LED blinking issue still exists
Nougat: (CM theme engine and firewall missing for relevant ROMs)
Lineage OS 14.1 (Official)
AOSP JDC (OMS) (Official)
CypherOS 3.5.1
AICP (Official)
AOKP
BeanStalk
Resurrection Remix 5.8 (OMS)
Slim 7 (OMS)
SlimDragon 1.1 (OMS) (Official)
Nitrogen OS
crDroid 1.9
Mokee
Zephyr OS 6.1 (OMS) (Official)
XOSP 7.2
XenonHD
DU 11 (OMS)
Xiaomi.eu
UnitedMIUI
In my personal opinion, at this stage, the only Marshmallow ROM you should consider flashing anew is CM 13 because it's the only one with weeklies, and hence actively maintained. The other ROMs will not be maintained as the developers have moved to the Nougat ROM base.
All Marshmallow ROMs except CM13 contain the laggy performance bug below 5% battery.
The nougat ROMs so far are quite stable and usable.
There's just the issue of a missing CM theme engine on CM based ROMs, which is easily resolved by using Substratum Legacy. The OMS compatible ROMs of course can use the latest Substratum framework.
There are little features missing here and there, which probably won't affect usage for a majority of people:
In the WiFi menu, we can't select WiFi frequency between 2.4 GHz, 5 GHZ, and automatic.
Your input is right, having more roms dont mean basicly its better. You have more roms to chose, thats right, but you also have more roms which are basicly the same with the same features.
My experience is, that all the roms with a lot of modifications (like DU, AICP, RR, Beanstalk and so on) are basicly the same, they have an external app for all modifications and near the same options.
Other roms like Paranoid Android, AOSCP, JDC and Cyanogenmod, try to keep the system clean while they still offer some modifications built into the system app to keep the AOSP feeling.
AOSP is AOSP, there i dont have to say much about
Thanks, man. So is it fair to say that DU, AICP, RR and such can be clubbed into the same category, as in "Install any, they're all the same", while it would be more useful to differentiate between AOSP, JDC AOSP, CM, AOSCP and so on?
I'm unwilling to flash ROM after ROM to find out the differences between them. If anyone has the experience of flashing two or more ROMs, please contribute to this thread so that it can become a useful guide to people. I'll keep adding the info to the OP.
Is there a bugs free custom ROM based on cm13 or cm14 so far? What about Mokee?
@selmandeli The best you're going to get is of course the relatively stable weeklies of official CM13. Since it is being maintained by an official CM developer and has had several months to mature, a lot of bugs have been fixed.
Apart from that, most of the 6.0.1 ROMs should be fine, even though they're unofficially built, as the code base is stable and only some kernel changes were needed, which, thanks to the awesome dedication of bgcngm and h2o64, we have.
No 7.1 based ROM is stable yet, since the CM code base is being actively updated. Even here, your best bet is the unofficial CM 14.1, since the developer maintains and fixes bugs himself.
The other 7.1 ROMs depend on CM development, and additionally on whoever their active developers are. The guys we have do a great job of keeping the respective code bases up to date though.

@andy356 DU has some original features built into it. Not sure about the version for MI5 though.
Thanks @mintyx. Could you elaborate a bit so I can put it in the OP if it applies?
@WhyOrean Do you plan to continue with your custom CM 14.1 like you said in the thread? Or will the focus be on other ROMs?

@andy356 you should search for Dirty Unicorns Fling, Pulse and Smartbar. These are their original ideas. I don't know if someone else has used it in their rom. It is open source so anyone can implement them.

Nope. When it seemed like most of the bugs were gone, and devs could then focus on it, Nougat code was dropped. Now there's again a mad rush to get the major bugs out on Nougat ROMs.

Yeah..
@andy356 Thanks for your precious feedback, it helps to understand the difference between the different ROMs. May I ask you to do an update version of your feedback since a lot a things have changed recently.
Thanks man!
@nicoula91 Right now I have a stable Marshmallow ROM that I want to stick to until Nougat ROMs become stable enough. When I'm ready to flash a new one I'll take that opportunity to flash all the Nougat ROMs and look at what's different. That sounds really troublesome, though.
I just love that rom. Today i got my new device and i need this rom, but unfortunately some bad thing happened to their team ans we will have to wait some time. Any alternatives?
I will check Resurrection Remix ROM .
If you liked Exodus (I was a big fan of it myself), then RR probably won't satisfy you. I would honestly say that stock OOS would be closest to Exodus as far as features go. You could use Gravity Box with it too. Besides that, I would suggest CM14.1. I'm fixing to try TipsyOS, and there's also Tesla available for the 3T right now.
we have lineage and rr (one build for aicp) and one unnoficial du but links got removed soo
is there are some new roms coming out or it's just the way with these two rom?
Du will be official in a short amount of time so stay tuned.
Aicp was full of bugs that's why I closed the thread. What roms u want more?

Hello guys.. yesterday I bought to my girlfriend a new mobile phone and I got from her the old one... And that is the mighty Mi max 2 ...
Please feel free to inform - advice me which rom and kernel is complete best for mi max 2 end which Google camera APK you use for better shots..
Thank you all.
You can use pixel experience rom with hardrock pie kernel for best performance and battery life along with gcam support
I've tested tonns of roms for Max 2 and now I'm on stock developer ROM with root and latest kernel from Hard_Rock. If you want gcam then install it using root, if you want smth else - then you can also install it via root.
This is my opinion of the best for this phone.
ArrowOS is most stable ROM currently. Using that paired with Hard Rock's latest Pie kernel will give you the best build. Pixel's Gcam is already baked into the firmware as well so you won't need to flash the modded Gcam like before.
i also have tried lot of custom roms and so far works for me best PixelExperience
I am also fan of hardrock roms and his roms are awesome and well optimized.
HERE THERE ARE FEW SCENARIOS:
a) IF U WANT TO UPGRADE TO NEW ANDROID VERSION AND U DON'T HAVE ISSUE DEALING WITH IN CALL VOLUME(oreo was joke):
Here are best pie roms:
1) for well round best balanced rom with balanced extra features go for arrow
2) for best plain and simple roms almost like stock , go for pixel experience or lineage
3) if u want huge extra features and u like to play with more and more features then go for havoc
** Kernel should be hardrock v1.6 for pie .great backup with speed even beats flagship devices in normal performance
b) IF U DONT WANT EVEN ONE SINGLE BUG AND DONT MIND STUCK AT NOUGAT THEN:
1) Best will be miui since no bugs, best sounds, everything is fine..you can choose between different miui modded roms..every rom is almost same
2) if u r custom rom lover then go for lineage 14.1 enforcing..best simple rom yet in nougat or Xenonhd (remarkable) which is best overall quality and media with customisations.
**Kernel always be hardrock kernel since top notch performance and huge control over kernel..u can get maximum out if ur device lol.
Hopefully above suggestions will help:laugh:

You created a whole thread for a simple discussion dear.. and even in ROM, KERNEL AND RECOVERIES DEVELOPMENT GROUP,
YOU MUST CREATE THE THREAD IN MI MAX 2 DISCUSSION GROUP..
pls try to ask these things in any development post , rather then creating a whole new thread for such simple questions..
Thanks you..
