-- see below for update --

Bluetooth isn't working. The message bluetooth share stopped working appears as soon as I switch the toggle. Just letting you know. Great work with this build, I was able to make calls and send messages over lte on AT&T. Really great so far

Thanks, that fixed Bluetooth, also mtp notified me that it stopped working the moment I make my sd marked as portable storage, I'll check if that occurs again when I try to transfer from my PC. No other problems so far
Update - otg and mtp working fine

source?
Thanks muchly for doing this. Is the source that you used to build the zipfile available someplace I could download it?

The VoIP doesn't seem to work. I tried the stock stack and Fongo. On connecting a call the I can hear the other side, but my voice is muffled/crackly and very very quiet. If I switch to the external speaker everything works but switching back causes the same problem. To me it seems like a sound routing problem.

I had the same problem.
You need change those parametrs at build.prop:
use.dedicated.device.for.voip=true.
use.voice.path.for.pcm.voip=true.
change those parameters to "false"
At CianogenMod12.1(at this firmware Voip work fine), this parametrs are missing, maybe need simply deleting at Lineage 14.1. Today I use my smartphone whith those changes, problem resolved.

Worked like a charm. Too bad the phone has started having a battery charge issues. I had it dismantled for the last three weeks. Reassembled to test. I will have to keep those settings in mind for other VoIP android phones.

Could you post the link of your device tree, kernel, vendor and any other repos that you used?

I'll see if I can build one with the old touch driver. Touch worked fine on the Razr M both in recovery and rom. My Razr HD had the old touch driver but works fine with the new one.
The old Philz recovery probably won't support android 7.1. I'll see what I can do with it when I get time.

I'm using the chinese one for months and it does not have any issues.
Until this has stable status or official status I'm more afraid of flashing this one

It's always asking for the password. Even though i did format data using that chinese twrp, when i flash this, it asks for password again.

Don't Flash stock ROM/ official ROM .

'boot ' fastboot command in lastest platform-tools won't work in that way.It assume the file is a KERNEL,not a whole boot image.This will only make device go blackscreen.Check the binaries' help before run this command!

I found a problem.
If I use WIPE to format internal storage in TWRP and still can't mount internal storage after rebooting recovery.
It will not be possible to copy ROM files properly.
If you restart the system, re-entering TWRP after a successful system boot will restore the system to normal.
I wonder if it can be fixed?

ask Decrypt password everytime I reboot to twrp.
Help!

YOUR WARRANTY IS VOID IF YOU CONTINUE
A noob friendly guide on how to get the most out of your phone. The Xiaomi Redmi 8 has been touted as one of the most sold phone during the release alongside the Note 8. As of mid 2021, there have been a rise of actively developed kernels, recoveries, and finally custom ROMs. There were only a select few before, and may be dormant now. While the Xiaomi.eu custom may be enough for some, others may want a more different approach.
DRIVER
Windows
Generic "Universal ADB Fastboot" drivers are multipurpose drivers that support a wide range of device drivers using ADB and Fastboot. It may be a better idea to also install Xiaomi specific drivers if you also want to enable "USB Mode" as well.
Required drivers may be installed automatically via "Device Manager", selecting the device, then updating the driver. Windows 10 automatically installs required drivers for ADB, and USB Mode drivers on first connection.
Linux
Most mainstream distributions have them in their official repository. Searching for "android driver" usually includes ADB/Fastboot. USB Mode drivers can also be found by searching for "mtp" which usually has FUSE support builtin to the Linux kernel.
FIRMWARE
The official site for Xiaomi firmware usually only shows the latest drivers, and is hard to find more specific versions. The unofficial site does also include many archive versions. Although it is not required, it is more recommended to use what your phone shipped with. For example, my phone (global indo) came with PCNIDXM 11.0.2.0, and I will use the last A9 11.0.7.0 release. I prefer using the latest release, as A10 does not have the last release status yet, I chose to stay with A9. You may try upgrading your OS to A10 (A11 might also be released for our phone), but beware of "Android Anti Rollback" and always use an upgraded/higher firmware.
As it turns out, many members in the group have said that ARB is not active on our devices. It may be wise to stick with your region firmware and not another region to ensure compatibility.
BOOTLOADER
ALL DATA WILL BE ERASED. If you need to take backups, do it before starting. Copying backups to another device (phone or PC) is more reliable than an external SD card.
Requirements
3 days account age
7 days of usage
Enable "Developer Option"
Settings > About Phone > Build Number > Tap 7 times
Settings > Additional Settings > Developer Option
Enable both "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlock"
Mi Account link
Xiaomi Unlock https://en.miui.com/unlock
Xiaomi Cloud https://i.mi.com
Find your device, it may help as the unlock tool has been buggy
Launch the unlock tool with admin rights
(optional) upgrade both the app and driver via the menu icon
Follow the instructions
You may require both SMS and data quota available in SIM 1 (the middle slot)
Turn off your phone, then turn it on with POWER + VOLUMN DOWN to boot into Fastboot mode
Start the unlock
A successful unlock shows an "(unlock icon) Unlocked" upon booting before the boot animation. It may show an unsuccessful unlock, but once your phone reboots, it may turn out to be unlocked. Your phone will reset to factory defaults.
FLASHING
It is not required to add ADB tools under your system's path. It does make future usage easier, and you also learn how to use computers, and is beneficial in the long run. Binaries and libraries are linked together. Simply copying the platform tools folder to another place, or vice versa, and launching the tools should be safe.
FIRMWARE FASTBOOT
Flashing an entire firmware is more safely done while in Fastboot mode. While there are also recovery archives, they do not include the entire partition library for a full clean install. There is also a risk of hitting an ARB http://xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone. There are GUI tools available, but they are very prone to bugs, and may not work well compared to simple CLI. Fastboot images also include "flash_all..." for both Windows (.bat) and Linux (.sh). To ensure better results, make sure the extracted path is short and has no unique characters (such as spaces) in the names. On Windows, it is preferable to use "Command Prompt" instead of "Powershell" as the latter is not as stable. Running the preferred terminal as admin/root is also a favorable.
Most users require an unofficial "vbmeta" patch to bypass "Android Verified Boot" for more advanced usage. The attached vbmeta bypasses builtin blocking.
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
RECOVERY TWRP
TWRP is a general purpose recovery without too many features. It is much better than every stock recovery, but may have less features than the newer recovery projects. As a starting point, many other recoveries require having at least a custom recovery installed. While it is possible to Fastboot install other recoveries by extracting the archive, flashing the image, then copying over the default configs. This should not be relied upon as there may be additional scripts that are required to safely install other custom recoveries.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The official documentation for Fastboot states that not every phone supports 'fastboot reboot MODE', our phone does. We can safely append recovery to reboot into recovery mode from Fastboot, and expect it to work without rapidly trying to enter recovery mode via hardware buttons.
fastboot reboot recovery
ROOT MAGISK
It is recommended to backup the boot partition with TWRP. If you are using a custom ROM, a boot.img is inside the archive.
It is safe to flash magisk directly using TWRP. We should download the APK, rename it to ZIP, reboot to recovery and install, once it is done installing, rename it again to APK, boot to system and install it normally. Since our device qualifies as an exception, the boot partition is flashed instead of the recovery when reading the installation guide.
KERNEL
Other than the LOLZ kernel available here, there are a few additional kernels available in the Telegram chat group. I will try to provide more information later.
GAPPS
Like it or not, Google is here to stay. With so many GAPPs variants (respective packages, and addons), which should we choose? There might not be a correct answer as they are always evolving. The only thing most users MUST care about, is whether or not their recent changelog may include major stability issues such as 'fixed bootloop' and decide for themselves.
Most of the time, it should be more preferred to choose the core installer, then manually installing from there, YOUR required additional GAPPs (either via addons or the store). Fewer cars do mean fewer pileups, and not having too many apps installed will also cause less headaches.
ROM
The meat of the guide, and what most people seek when searching around the XDA. There are two main groups of ROMs, Generic System Image (GSI), and full custom ROMs specifically built for a device. Many devices may share common drivers with each other, such as the Redmi 8 series and the 8A. While not going too in-depth on a particular selection, one should take note and at least read through the installation instructions. Typically on modern A11 ROMs, most follow similar steps as followed;
reboot recovery
format data
reboot recovery
wipe cache, dalvik, data, system (sometimes vendor and internal)
reboot recovery
install archives
some may have a different step which are required for it to install. If one were to follow another guide for another phone, and ask for support on your phone's ROM thread, welp.
GSI builds have been around since A9 with treble support, and might have been a great idea. It allows users to try out a ROM not available within their reach, or try a completely new system such as UBports. It works much like a PC OS installer, but with PC experience, most users are required to finish their installation with needed tweaks. Additional drivers, security patches, custom user services and so on are the many examples that can easily be installed with minimal PC experience. Phones also require device specific tweaks to get the most out of GSIs and may vastly differ from each other. I am not against GSIs in general, but do hope for major breakthroughs in the development.

reserved - misc tips and tricks
While this guide was written with the Redmi 8 in mind and body, in can be put into good use on other phones as well.
MAGISK
With the current development of Magisk, it may be wise to wait on a new development path. Currently, there are reports of Magisk still working for some, but not for the vast majority of others. There are many workarounds, but as stated, will have varying success.
RELOCK BOOTLOADER
A forewarning for those that decide to relock their bootloader, there are people with destroyed systems after relocking. It is fully recommended to first full fastboot flash a stock firmware before attempting to relock. Simply unlocking again can successfully reboot the device, hinting there is a bug within Xiaomi. Some others have been unlucky and can cause EDL mode where only official service centers can unlock.
Others have also tested out many methods to workaround issues like these, and are having doubts as to how modern businesses are run.
MIGRATE
Migrate is a specially built backup/restore tool that makes moving from one ROM to another easily as the name suggests. It allows us to perform batch backups of apps, data, and/or permissions into a flashable recovery archive. Then finally completing the installation once we have fully installed the ROM by selectively restoring all/none of what has been backed up. It is possible to restore without TWRP, but using TWRP is recommended as it is more direct and user friendly.
Most of the time, it should be technically safe to migrate from OS versions since it only backup/restore user apps, one should take note of different min/max version specified in apps. A quick workaround is to find a trustworthy mirror, and download an universal app. At first launch, it is also recommended to do a quick test run by backing up an app, then restoring it by recovery.
backup app|data|perm
full install a ROM, GAPPS, magisk
boot system to complete the magisk installation
reboot recovery and flash the archive
boot system and complete the installation
The last reboot is not required, and can be manually cleaned up.

reserved - redmi 8 custom list
This is not a complete list of all available ROMs. I have purposely left ROMs unannounced in the XDA, GSIs, and dorment releases out. If one were curious, you could search for many more available, about twice the amount listed here. There may be a good reason they are not announced to the public, and we must use them with caution.

Redmi 8 development is seeing a huge spike recently with many available full customs, and some more unpublished here. There is also a group that is working on an alternative operating system, aiming to bring Linux (I usually exclude the 'GNU/' part) here. On top of that, there may be future attempts to not only bring UBports/Ubuntu Touch, but a few more arm64 ports

With the release of Android 13, many ROM devs are switching to an RDP (retrofit dynamic partition) scheme to allow A13 to install on our phones. These new ROMs require a modded recovery not currently released on official sites, nor in this subforum. To find these RDP type recoveries, see my signature that mentions a TG (Telegram) group.
The group is the main driving force, and sadly many of them are not an active part of this forum.
For those wondering, the MI439 release tag includes Olives (both lite and wood) and with the Redmi 7A. With RDP schemes currently the norm with ROM devs for our phones, it may be worth joining the TG to avoid installation missteps.

Impressive. Thank you

Is it really possible to have Ubuntu mobile on ginkgo ? That would be interesting.
Besides, I'm didn't find how to downgrade from A12 or 11 to A10 here.

GSI = generic system images. something like PC OSs. they can be installed on all hardware. but we 1st must know what our devices need (like a specific vendor partition)
this is mainly chatting about olives, dont know about ginkgo
for olives only, all you have to do is flash what android version you want to down|upgrade as you want

My bad . I was doing a lot of searching and didn't realize that the thread was about redmi 8 and not redmi note 8. Sorry.
Thanks for explaining
