OK, so so here is a thought. Since the stock ROM for the I9500 and the Korean SHV-E300 has all of the lib files necessary for creation of a ROM, why doesn't someone just use those to try to port a ROM over to see how it would actually work? I just came from the Exhibit 4G and that is pretty much how our device tree was created. Using other phones and our own libs. I know it would take a dedicated dev to do this or attempt it. But in the end it should be very rewarding. Tell me what you guys think.

any dev that can verify this ? possible or not ? any port rom would do Ex. MIUI Rom
It is kind of like porting but not really. It would be using all of our already made drivers that are in .so format and then using partial or full frameworks from the custom ROM sources to build. Just look at it like taking Ubuntu 13.10 and running Gnome 3.8 on top of it as the shell. Neither one of them get along with each other but there are ways to make them coexist and work well together.

Hello guys. I seen the new MIUI custom rom, which is very beautiful & full of modification along with numerous tweaks. I wonder all MIUI fan would love it. But this rom is presently developed only for sony Xperia S/SL but the developer assured me to make this one for our galaxy S3 too. But he need testers. So if anyone interested to enjoy this MIUI rom then please come & be the tester for our galaxy s3. So that he can start the new build for galaxy s3. Thanx in advance. Come soon
If most of you are ready to test this build then Required the following points by Dev....
How many you are presently porting ROMs for S3?
Which versions do you port?
Which the base and the port ROM that you opted for?
What are the Major Bugs in each of your versions?
What are the Major Bugs in your Official Release?
What are the Features that can still be improved?
Which are the Features that are Missing and Should be there?
How long would it take you to give me a very detailed testing report If I send you an experimental build?
Anything Else you would like to suggest or mention?
Anything else I should be aware of before starting working on it?
I want detailed answers on all these questions not just from you but from other users of your device who want me to start making ROMs for them. I hope you got the point what I am really trying to know here, As I don't have the device the only thing I could rely upon would be my testers.

Thats why i asked...
Thats greats who are ready to test this miui rom. But it is not meant to just download & get fun. It is meant to those who are expert & advanced users who can test the build properly to indentify any bugs,issue or any compatibility problem. So i request you only the well testers most wolcome here who can test this MIUI ROM.
I can test for you, tested almost every miui mintberry build. Pm me.
<=> minimal
Have anyone interested more to portting this rom for your s3?
I would like to test. I done lot of porting miui in my time. Not on s3. But the atrix.

lol, well the Nexus S 4G Developing Forum is pretty much dead except for the avatar rom really. I saw a couple people trying to get a stable 4.3 working but that was weeks ago. as for 4.4 i read that someone said you can use the Crespo version but you have to change a couple things and even with those changes it barely works
Yeah, this is a sad thing... If I had more time I'd try to build something...

I'm attempting to build CM11 for crespo4g right now.
We'll see how this goes.
I'm anticipating I'll run into at least as many issues as are plaguing the crespo. Plus WiMAX hasn't been working on any 4.3 builds, so I doubt we'll have it either. I'll post it here when I'm done, don't think I have enough cred on xda to post on the 4g dev section

CM 10.2 is very active. Getting Nightly updates, but it runs a little slow.
CM10.3, KK, should be better.

I forked CyanogenMod's CM10.2 crespo4g repo, and added a couple changes to update storage for KitKat, but most of the device specific stuff draws from the crespo tree, which is already at version 11.0 in CM's sources. I'm gonna try to start a build right now. I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'll also open a thread in the ns4g dev section as soon as I can.
If anyone wants to contribute code/tips/general know-how to this project it would be greatly appreciated. Also since I'm working from the 10.2 codebase, I expect the WiMax issue to carry over. That's something I'm willing to work on when I get it booting.
I also tried a dirty port from this discontinued crespo rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2526740. It just bootloops.
Here's my repo. Feel free to fork/make pull requests/etc...

can't help with building it but i can be the first to try it when you're done...
My thoughts would be to edit the bootclass path in the kernel from the nexus s ROM to work for the nexus s 4g, as well as whatever else code is important in the kernel, then get it booting since in order to dirty port a ns ROM to the ns4g all you have to do is swap kernels and then you'll have basic functionality, but that's my two cents, I could be missing something important idk

Just installed adityaxavier's unofficial CM11. Everything is working, including WiFi to 3G switchover (which wouldn't work in any CM10.2 build or Slimbean 4.3 build).
Wimax 4g is not yet working, but that is a minor issue for most.
I hope the Nexus S 4G development won't die out any time soon. This NS4G is my first smartphone, and I use it as a wifi only device. It was a friend's old phone, donated to me. I also have an original Motorola Droid (also from another friend's old phone stash), which I rooted and modded with custom ROMs and stuff. The Droid is now my little brother's first smartphone (also wifi-only). It's been a great learning experience, AND we get useful devices to use too! It's why I love it here at XDA so much.
NOT Dead! Because I found a few "newer", great ROMs to try out still. ROMs I tried and thoughts:
- adityxavier's unofficial CM 11, build 11 --> great, fast, smooth; but I get those errors prompts saying "process com.phone.android stopped working" after boot up. I tried a clean install, as well as a dirty install after factory reset. Still getting those errors.
- jc4gavejc's AOSP 4.4 for Nexus S 4G --> same as above, but also very simplistic, lean, and clean-looking, which I loved. I would've kept this ROM if not for the same error prompts "process com.phone.android stopped working"; or "process com.messaging.android stopped working". I'm beginning to think my phone can't handle 4.4 builds somehow.
- Slim Bean 4.3 --->fast, smooth, stable, minimalistic-looking, with none of the extra features that I'd likely not use anyways. I'm using it now as my stable ROM until I see a working android 4.4 that I can try out again.
- Helly Bean 4.3 -->Also a fast and stable ROM on my crespo4g device. Lots of extra features from Paranoid Android, which I don't really use. My stock battery charging animation disappears with this one. It seems to power on during charging, even after I turn it off.
- Official CM 10.2 --> easiest to install b/c of the cminstaller, but noticeably slower than the above custom ROMs.
Once I have enough posts, and clearance to do so, I'll post these comments, with more details, in their appropriate threads, to help give feedback on the ROMs I tried. Thanks to all the developers that spent time and efforts on these!

Not possible. If you flash any ROM other then that for your device, it will result in a bootloop. The only way I can see for you to give HTC's UI a try is to download a ROM (if there is any) that has the UI ported. If you don't like Touchwiz, you can also try Stock Android (CM, PA, C-ROM etc)
