Are there any OS even available for download? I tried to find Cherish, Cdroid and Arrow and semingly the files got deleted.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] escorpiompom:
Cherish OS is available for download, just use the pling link from the CherishOS homepage. You may have to use a download manager like IDM.

Arrow OS is available from the telegram channel mi439.

Crdroid: Do not use crdroid IAmDeadlylxrd releases as they are bugged and obsolete.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ro-mann:
Hm, am I daft, or is there no Redmi 8 listet on the website?

Downloads

downloads.cherishos.com

EDIT: I got it now, I think. It is this, right?

Cherish OS-mi439

Redmi 8 Seriesredmi 7a/8/8a/8 dual (mi439)

www.pling.com

Is there any reason why it's not listed on the official website?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] escorpiompom:
Yep, that's it. Actually, it is listed on the download page as a mi439 (unified) rom.

Be aware that the last build 3.9.5 has lag in camera ap. Maintainer said it would be solved in next version.

Apart from that, it is a very good ROM.

Also, use download manager if you use pling, people have reported issues with downloads.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ro-mann:
So should I use the 20220721 build then? It is both Android 11 I guess?

Yeah, the download breaks off all the time. But how can I use a DL Manager, if there is now actual link that can be copied?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] escorpiompom:
The ROM is A12L.

Older build are worse, only use latest build. If you like I can mirror it somewhere. You can check the hash to be sure it hasn't been tampered with.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ro-mann:
That would be great, thank you so much!

Where do I even see the Hash on the Pling site, haha?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] escorpiompom:
Yeah I see it isn't there.

Actually it is: MD5 hash c1a0e3908a2411a7c83cdeb8aabf6676

I've mirrored it on Mediafire, feel free to use it or not:

What a Best rom support Google services for redmi 8
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ivolank:
Hello, the rom is great but i have a problem. Phone not charging when turned off. Its critical problem, when i drain battery completely, phone shutdown itself and then i am unable to charge it. I must open the phone cover and connect battery to external power supply at least for a while, then put all back and phone turn on successfully. When system is running, i have no problems with charging.

I tried lolz kernel, reflash last stock MIUI then reinstall twrp and CRdroid, but i nothing helped.

i use the bitgapps but i ended up in fastboot mode., so i need to flash miui rom again and i used flamegapps to reflash again.,
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sourabh Gharde:
3 finger screenshot is already present. I didn't face any issue with app freezing or gestures.

Battery backup and charging issue appears to be fix in the new update. And now no need of custom kernel, default one is really good.

please dont spread misinformation, the 'official' site for magisk is github. while i have checked most non official sites, there might be a few that are bad...

WARNING, for android 11 (and maybe higher) dont flash as zip. i had 3 bootloops before learning my lesson. for modern droids, we have to install the apk and let it handle itself there. ill skip on rooting now since im busy ATM and cant mess around much

I did this to install Xiaomi.eu Papp54 ROM but it went to fastboot instead of going to recovery, but when I did not do this and then wiped the ROM I flashed it and reboot to system without any problem the device booted
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
same case to me., just format the data first., then reboot.to recovery .,then wipe dalvic cache,system and vendor., dont reboot.to recovery again.you will be ended.up in fastboot mode., and.you will lose whatever custom recovery you have., just simple.flash your.rom after wiping up.,
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Sourabh Gharde:
sorry I didn't know that this isn't official site. Thanks for correcting me
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amir051:
That's right, I did the same thing to install the Xiaomi.eu Papp54 ROM and the ROM was installed, did you install the CrDroid ROM the same way you said?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
yeah., same.procedure., i didnt.face any problem.,
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Amir051:
So after wiping the, I do no reboot in recovery and I go and install the crdroid ROM and Gapps then I reboot the system.

FlameGapps better. NikGapps sometimes lead to bootloop if install update via OTA updater
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
nope.there is.no option to do that ., unlike miui roms
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] IAmDeadlylxrd:
crDroid v7.8 update already published. Guys, you can update via OTA (if you use NikGapps and get bootloop from OTA, reinstall your gapps)
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
how about flamegapps? do we need to reinstall it.again?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] aljoscha81:
i use a open gapps 11 test build aroma installer and it works fine ;)

by the way crdroid 7.8 should be android 11 again .....or not ?

don't want to make to much hope but with build from 5th it worked don't got the ota update installed from 13th ;)

can report later
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Aviruk Basak:
Bug spotted, logcat attached

I'm on v7.8 13-Jul-2021 release.

Using NikGapps omni with abt 6 add-ons.

Infection symptoms:

- External file managers are unable to access /storage/emulated/0/ directory, even with Android 11 `Acess files and media` permission granted and `Reset permissions` disabled.

- Apps affected (under my observation) include `Google Files` app, `Libera Reader (com.foobnix.pdf.reader)`.

- Google files `Internal Storage` and `SDCard` sections' file lists are empty.

- Media and Documents sections of Google Files app are not empty of files. They still show PDFs and pictures.

- Strangely enough, `Google Files` has a permission for `Install from unknown sources`. If enabled, this seems to fix the problem (for Google Files app only ofc).

- Tried denying and re-granting permission. Tried clearing app data. Reinstalled Libera Reader. Rebooted. Nothing.

- Granted `Install from unknown source` and you know the rest.

Here's the logcat:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/11VEWqReVHWzBl8lUgzk9QC6JAuFP2xEw/view?usp=drivesdk

At first I thought by messing with the Developer Options feature flags I did this. But a reboot resets the flags.

Also, until v7.7 Pixel Launcher 11 had a developer options enabled on enabling the system dev options. With 7.8, it's gone.

Edit: As of Jul 14th release, bug persists.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Slawas87:
I can't install this rom.

First, I've downloaded clean rom for my device:

olive_global_images_V12.0.3.0.QCNMIXM_20210511.0000.00_10.0

and installed this using XiaomiADBFastbootTools 7.0.3

Then I've boot this rom once, and do configuration to the end

Then I've downloaded lastest TWRP twrp-3.5.2_9-0-olive and put this on my phone

Then I've run TWRP - format data, write "yes" and restart to TWRP

After that again custom wipe - wipe: dalvic cache, cache, data, system, vendor, internal storage

Then install crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210714-olives-v7.8 , vipe dalvic cache again and restart

And my phone is booting in "fastboot" mode, system won't run, only fastboot mode all the time, can't enter TWRP, vol+ + power not working, fastboot command "fastboot reboot recovery" also not working...

What I'm doing wrong ?

ps. I was trying to install crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210713-olives-v7.8.zip with same result, just can't, only fastboot mode

ps2. I was trying to install crDroidAndroid-11.0-20210705-olives-v7.7.zip with same result, just can't, only fastboot mode

In the previous version, the same as in the one from July 14, the microphone does not work in duolingo app. Granted all permissions. My phone: Redmi 8 (olive), crDroid 7.8, flame gapps. Clean flash, then updated from the version 7.7 to 7.8.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Aviruk Basak:
Technically, you are unable to boot it. You have installed it successfully, just as the recovery said.

Try flashing any non-stock vbmeta.img. You'll find one below.

I believe the stock vbmeta prevents other systems from booting, be it a GSI, or a ROM.

MegaNZ

Once on the site, open folder in browser and download the vbmeta.img file.

- If your ROM and gapps are already installed before you got stuck in fb, flashing the non-stock vbmeta and rebooting should work.

- Or else, put your installation zips in an sdcard or something and insert it.

- Flash this vbmeta image and then the recovery image. Try to boot to recovery from fastboot and carry on with normal installation.

Alternatively, restore the stock rom and firmware using the XiaomiTool.

- Then remove any screen locks and boot to fastboot.

- Flash the non-stock vbmeta and recovery and use fastboot to boot the recovery.

- Carry on with normal installation.

Note that if you don't remove screen locks, after flashing the new vbmeta, recovery will fail to decrypt your Internal storage.

[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
it shouldnt be because that build is a GSI whereas this build is a full custom rom for our phone. just follow the steps in the 1st post. same is true for the OPs havocos. id also recommend switching to TWRP as i dont think orangefox supports A11 yet

you should really be careful and not get hit by ARB.

plss dont.remove the camera app and.browser., that is the most important apps .,in crdroid 7.7 july 5th version,.the.camera and.music.app are both intact in rom but suddenly removed.it.for.no reason

I also have a problem where the phone doesn't show up when I try to use USB file transfer is there a fix for that?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
did you check the default USB connection under developer options? it defaults to nothing (charge only) on most custom roms
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
Yes that's already set to file transfer also here is some more info about the device when its connected

Spoiler content hidden.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
weird, works fine on my win10 and lin (mx and arch) PCs since they have most drivers preinstalled. its also weird how its detected as a nexus, but yeah i guess try installing nexus drivers?

if youre on the same network, id suggest using wifi transfer (usually called FTP transfers). IMHO its easier overall once you get used to it. if you need an app, id suggest 'apkmirror mixplorer' and choose a non alpha/beta/RC. im using 6.56.5 BTW

---

anyone else noticing high battery usage? i left it on overnight for a few days with most things disabled and found it too high. im getting -2Ds here, but with the same environment with xiaomi.eu A9 i can get +3Ds. i havent tried A10 yet...
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
Maybe it's using the wrong drivers for me?? can you show me the drivers it installed for you
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
on win and lin it shows up as a redmi8 (thankfully). i dont know where win10 driver infos are since it autoinstalls everything for us like a plague, but i did have nexus and samsung phones. this phone is correctly using xiaomi drivers.

i rarely use data cable mode since thats how my first droid broke.

something is very wrong with your phone, id suggest a full fastboot flashing and hope for the best. thankfully fastboot uses boring generic google drivers, i remembered flashing when i first unlocked the phone a 2Ys ago
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
Can it be because I flashed vbmeta? or maybe its using some random driver on my pc?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
it should autodetect itself just fine. what does the vendor ID ('brand' code for xiaomi is 2717) read under hardware info? when showing ADB it should autouse generic drivers as well. does it work? have you checked fastboot?
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Yisus_Neo:
Hello, users of a Redmi 8 olives.

Would this Cutom ROM also work for the Redmi 8A? Is there any installation guide for this device? It is that I found an error when I wanted to install it. Error 255 in TWRP and OrangeFox.

I will try to install it again to see if I have more luck.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
GL, AFAIK youre the 1st 8A user on this thread. just make sure you follow the 1st post exactly. all of those reboots are necessary for modern androids -_-

i also tried searching for 225 but got mainly dull results. it probably just means you have a corrupted zip. i also suggest switching to TWRP because i dont think orangefox supports A11 yet.

you probably have just a dead system if you can boot to recovery, and can flash this ROM. if you have a PC; download it from there, check the hash, adb push it. IIRC i installed this ROM using an OTG USB and it worked.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Irate_Vendetta:

haha your welcome dude., im just sharing my experiences to all of.you.,
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] mrjoker18:
i think the rom that you.downloaded is a corrupt file or maybe the twrp version you used.is.outdated., just download.it.again ., before you install .,just do a format then wipe dalvic cache ,system,data and vendor.,do a clean flash
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] POQDavid:
I managed to fix it by right-clicking on the ADB driver and update it to USB Composite Device does yours also show as a USB Composite Device? also should mention that ADB also shows the device just fine

Update:

I figured its a driver conflict which it kept installing Google Nexus ADB Interface (USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE2\17BFD3109807) and I just removed it by selecting remove the software and now it just detects it fine
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
yep, forgot to mention ADB also uses a generic driver (usb composite device, IIRC TWRP too). did you fix your filetransfer not working from a few days ago?

[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
where did you download the ROM? from your phone or a PC? ive noticed sourceforge mirrors having a bit of issues lately with a bunch of corrupted zips.

more importantly, did you read the OP correctly? ive flashed this ROM thrice without any issues.
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
is the vbmeta required? IIRC im still using stock and ive successfully flashed like 5 ROMS already, i havent tried GSIs (not worth it IMHO).

No actually I kept thinking about what you said and I was like maybe windows didn't figure out t`he change thanks

I also had to use vbmeta hmm I got the global version of the phone
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
friends whove tried win11 have all said its worse for PC oriented users. wonder how derpy win11 couldve been LOL

for comparisons, my phones stock firmware is still A9 global indo. ive had friends say they regretted upping to A10, and i havent seen a good enough consensus to up it as well from here.

Hi!

Many of my apps are crashing when I try to start them. Photos is crashing even without touching it. Have anyone experienced this? Could it be because I set the microSD card as internal storage?

Log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-OHyrsVr-sf8xlUkTII_SpGJFu3wncH5/view?usp=drivesdk
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
took a quick look at your logs and most of the issues are google photos related. did you install a bigger GAPPs pack? most custom ROMs do suggest we install the minimal version, then install whatever else we need instead of taking the bigger package. if you can access the phone, try disabling/deleting if possible.

a few users in previous pages also reported crashing when using bigger packs. some also reported nikgapps might not be a good idea

if you did any special tweaks to photos, also disable them. it looks like youre blocking it from running in the background, starting, syncing ETC. you should also send a bug report to them that somehow photos crashed your OS (CPU+memory leak)

as for an external, IIRC most ROMs do say we should use portable mode instead as there are a few bugs
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] banciii:
thanks, I re-flashed again with the basic gapps and without SD card, now it looks fine, at least that part. now I realized I dont have mobile data at all. not in single sim mode, not in dual sim. checked the operator's APN settings which has been set fine. I don't understand :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 8 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] fonzacus:
i dont think ive had any issues of no network on this phone yet. have you tried the usual troubleshooting like airplane mode, turn off, cleaned out the SIMs, turn on? if the network is readable, internet should turn on by itself and shouldnt be affected by hardware.

when flashing this ROM, where did you come from?
