Find out the differences from a quick knowledge base of MIUI ROM below:

Stable vs Developer ROMs

MIUI Stable ROMs are the most stable ROM with the least amount of bugs. Stable ROMs are made by MIUI Official Developers and are updated once per month, bi-monthly or even longer without a specific update frequency depending on how much time needed for solving bugs. Users who prefer a stable and bug-free release and doesn't want to try out new features immediately, should stick with this ROM.

Developer ROMs (also known as Beta ROMs) are also made by MIUI Official Developers but is updated weekly. MIUI Dev ROMs receive quicker new features but are more prone to bugs and thus is not recommended for users who use only one phone. Ordinary users should not stick with this ROM unless if they have some adventurous souls.

Ported ROMs are made by unofficial or third-party developers and are mostly based on the Developer ROM. Ported ROMs usually contain much more bugs than Developer ROMs as the ROM it's based on is not made for the device but rather a device of similar specifications.

China vs Global build

China Build MIUI ROMs usually come with more features than Global ROMs but DO NOT contain Google Apps and Services (GAPPS)/ Instead, there are some Chinese apps and services. This build is intended for Chinese users. However, any users around the world can still use this build since it also has English language included.

Global Build MIUI ROMs usually come with English as the default language and with multilanguages for certain devices. On the contrary, this build comes with full GAPPS and without the Chinese apps and services. International users should stick with this build.

Recovery vs Fastboot ROMs

Recovery ROMs are usually used to flash the current ROM you're using or to flash an update file without much fuss and no risk of losing data. It can be flashed to MIUI device easily through MIUI Updater app.

Fastboot ROMs add in the capability of flashing to an older ROM but has a steeper learning curve. It requires Mi Flash tool and the device should be in Fastboot mode.
