Whats it like compared to MIUI? Any features you miss? And is the camera worse than on stock ROM (I remember no ROM could take decent pictures with my Samsung S5 back in the daY)

I used MIUI for a total of 6 hours maybe. The Camera is slightly worse I'd say. But in good lighting and a rock steady hand... You can get a good shot. This is because they don't give devs the kernel source or something like that. I dono.

I'll always come back to CM no matter what. The clean, smooth experience is just too nice. Even with the drawbacks.
 
I would avoid the last small software update. Suddenly experiencing battery drain, random reboots and intermittent cell signal where before it was all perfect!!!

Is Nitrogen based on CM?

I'm thinking of trying something else but can't decide what ROM to go for.

My device is feeling sluggish recently and I can't seem to ever have enough space. I have an SD card with all my media on, but my internal storage stays full because I can't move the apps to SD card (MIUI doesn't allow it)

Yes it is. Epic battery life and smooth. Make a back up of your miui and even if you some how don't like it you can roll back.

For NOS just clean wipe and install NOS file from thread after you have unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP. Sorry I can't go into details don't have access to my laptop atm.
 
Thanks. I only submitted my request to have the bootloader unlocked now so it might take a while.
 
If you use the unofficial bootloader unlock method then updating to the latest CM/LOS is no longer a possibility. The last update is 03 May 2017 iirc, from there onwards you need to flash MIUI again, apply for official unlock, and once you have it you can go back to the latest.

TheStrix made a post on Reddit about it a week or so ago.

Going to have to wait until the weekend until I go through that whole schlep...

Is that only for LOS? cos I'm on 19th May build of NOS with unofficial unlock
 
Where can I get one of these newfangled contraptions for cheap? Prepaid, of course.

Why do you prefer Nitrogen instead of CM? sorry for all the questions but I just wanna make sure. Flashing the Xiaomi is a bit more tricky than what it used to be on my Samsung Galaxy.

I'm also considering Lineage OS
