Yes, but ignore any steps about using the global vendor image and dm_verity. The installation instructions are a bit outdated. The developer himself is using xiaomi.eu stable as vendor/fw, no need to mess around with encryption that way.

After flashing twrp format /data - this will delete internal storage. It will ask you to type in "yes" to confirm. This gets rid of storage and /data encryption and is required to flash xiaomi.eu Rom.

Flash Xiaomi.eu stable for proper vendor/fw

wipe /system /data /cache in twrp

Flash Syberia Rom

Flash open gapps micro or smaller

Optional: Flash Magisk 19.3
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
Ok, that means coming from MiUI Global I should flash MiUI EU before proceeding?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stoffl_:
unless you wanna keep encryption and constantly have to flash dm_verity - yes.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
Another question: in the instructions for installing the xiaomi.eu ROM the following is stated:

- FORMAT /data partition (NEVER wipe System or Persist!)

- Copy our ROM to the internal storage

- Install our ROM

Why wouldn't I wipe system, which is essentially done before installing any ROM on any Android phone I have owned so far (mostly Nexus devices) and is also part of most of the instructions for installing custom ROMs for the Mi 8 (see post #663 in this thread).
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:
So... Is your Mi 8 running Syberia yet?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
Hopefully it will on saturday (this evening I will finally be able to unlock the device)....I know, my question above is not strictly Syberia-related, but it is directed towards the installation procedure of Syberia, with installing xiaomi.eu being a prerequisite, as it seems.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] gozzaa:
Here is what I did to get a totally clean install with no issues so far.

Flash latest global stable through fastboot

Install twrp

Flash stable xiaomi.eu

Format + transfer files from pc

Wipe system, data, cache

Flash syberia, gapps, magisk
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:
Just flash the latest xiaomi.eu so you'll get the latest vendor. Then wipe & flash Syberia.

You'll get some reboot anyway. Flash the latest CAF based kernel to solve it.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] thanostonia:
Sphinx is a CAF based kernel? If not which kernel do you suggest?Thank you

hi guy

Now, i using MIUI Dev 9.6.20

can i up rom to
Syberia Rom and use Anx camera with this rom ?

or i must down 9.4.18 then up to Syberia rom ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
As far as I know newer firmware/vendor should work as well .

I have tested the ROM now for a few hours and I like it, seems to have everything I need .

However, Chrome performs noticeably slower than on MIUI global (loading webpages), and the geekbench singlescore is also somewhat underwhelming (between 1900 and 2000), multicore on the other hand seems alright (8000+).

Is that maybe kernel related ?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:
I'd say so...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] Stoffl_:
No, not recommended. Either stick to global dev 4.26. or use xiaomi.eu stable like the dev does.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
The Play Store crashes (white screen) on boot up, the issue can be temporarily fixed by deleting it's data, but then it does not recognise installed apps, hence it also won't able to update them.

edit: had to clear all Play Services Data, then Play Store data again, now it seems to work again

Worrying is as well, that the Play Store, in trying to function, does have some impact on battery performance, at least according to the battery statistics.

I'm using Vendor from 30.05, Stock GApps (but most Google Apps I have are in beta program). Runs well.

I've heard in the vendor+firmware thread that the vendor from June is quite unstable...
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JimmyEatFood:
rom seems really stable and fast.

one minor annoyance though, my navbar seems to change colour a lot more often than on previous roms I have used. is there anyway to disable this?

also anyway to speed up the system animations?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
System animation speed can be increased in developer options.

News regarding Play Store issue: if the Play Store is unresponsive (white screen), it is sufficient to delete only the Play Store's data (not Play Services'). The Play Store will then function again, but it will take a while, till it has recognised all installed apps again (might depend on amount of apps installed).

Another issue: the slow CPU. Can someone with Syberia installed do a Geekbench 4 benchmark and post the results. I want to find out if the low scores on my phone are the result of thermal throttling or Kernel-related.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
Thank you for testing, so it is indeed unlikely that the poor single core performance is related to thermal throttling (which is unlikely for single core testing anyway).

However, these are still very underwhelming scores we're getting.

I know, other kernels are not officially supported, but I might try another one, as I am not content with sacrificing performance for unknown gains.

Since your multi-score is exceptionally low, active background services might be (partially) to blame for that. Your equally low single-score however should not be affected by those services.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:
Yeah. There was a random reboot when I was sleeping (phone was being charged).

But other than that, super smooth as usual ?

What vendor are you using?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] redcquiem:
I obtain in single-core 2100 with the vendor 9.6.20 and multi-core 8500 in the last version, in the past one I obtained the same score as you.

With other kernel the single-core score is similar (2200) but in multi-core it increases to 9031.

In general I think that it's not so bad the score in the syberia's stock kernel, although if you need more performance you can flash other kernel.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] JimmyEatFood:
In your experience mate which kernel provides best battery life/lowest temps when used in conjunction with Syberia?

Last update kinda messed things up. Not 100% sure right now, but I believe I am on 9.6.4. I would update FW+vendor, but I believe that last time I tried it reset my Google Pay and to such an extent that I had to clean flash to regain access to one of my cards. As for kernels, so far I liked Disrupt most, but sticked to stock for a while.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:

Flashing again the rom
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:

Syberia uses Simple Kernel, which can also be found here on xda.

You can just download the zip & flash it
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
Please elaborate? Flash new Vendor/FW, then ROM again?

edit: nevermind, to get stock kernel again I can of course flash the ROM again, you are right.

Alright, I'll check it out, but probably not before the weekend. I absolutely need the phone in the coming days and apart from the camera and the occasional play store hickup everything is working fine.

Overall I am very content with Syberia with respect to its features. Bugs and stability is a concern, however. Maybe OP can update his installation guide regarding the vendor issue. :)

Ok, I properly checked, and I am on FW 6.20, as expected (installed xiaomi.eu on June 22nd, then Syberia from June 14).

The last couple of days I had a myriad of problems, like occasional black or blank screens, Swiftkey keyboard not showing (but being there), text disappearing on the homescreen (or other launcher related menus), Spotify stopping to work in the middle of a song, and of course the cameras. I now uninstalled my old version of ANXcamera and installed the latest one via magisk, which included a couple of reboots. Now the main camera of ANX works again, but various functions (Portrait, zoom with second lens) are still broken. Surprisingly gcam seems to be fully functional again.

I will try the latest Sphinx kernel tomorrow, as others seem to have no issues with the newest Syberia and 9.6.20 (although isn't the latest sphinx kernel already in Syberia?)

edit: forgot about the most serious issue, Telegram messages and sometimes other push messages not showing up despite having been received by the device. I don't know if that is ROM related though....

weird, for me all works flawlessly when I use Syberia 3 days ago including ANX Camera. try to clean flash it.

the default kernel in Syberia is Simple not Sphinx.

also regarding notification on Telegram, did you install Telegram through Play Store or from other such as TB, Migrate etc?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] HenryLolsen:
oh, my bad on the Kernel, let's see then.

Telegram is installed from the Play Store, I might try Telegram X and see if it makes a difference.

At the moment, camera is broken again completely (basically overnight while the phone was doing nothing). I also noticed that it effects the front-IR camera as well, so I removed face unlock (sucks anyway), but it does not seem to be a long term solution, as cameras are broken again.

I will try to fix my current install, as clean flashing means a lot of work in installing and setting up everything again. :(
[Xiaomi Mi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Dev] TeeHoang:
The vendor from June might be the culprit here. I flashed 9.6.27 & everything gets black after boot.

You should also notice the kernel base that you flash. The latest Simple Kernel on Syberia is based on 4.9.184 so other kernel that you flash should also be based on that version.
