Not 8.1 exactly, but close - regarding the original firmware, of course:
lolinet mirrors - firmware, software, iso etc.
lolinet mirrors - powered by h5ai
mirrors.lolinet.com
If it comes to roms - just read the forum, there's plenty of approaches. Havoc 8.1 by Pranav Kumar was pretty good, as I recall.

[GAPPS][8.1] OpenGApps Unofficial Builds [arm|arm64] - Regularly Updated

We have a lot of Oreo 8.1 Roms for our beloved Z2 (plus) but most of those have links to an outdated or all together wrong version of GApps. Here are links to a regularly updated Gapps 8.1 for ARM and ARM 64
For Zuk Z2, download and flash the ARM 64 version (Nano is recommended).

Looking for RR v5.8.5 [N] ROM for Moto G5 (cedric)

Does anybody have this ROM stored somewhere? It's not available to download through official thread link anymore https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-nougat-v5-8-3-t3612427 and thread is closed also - that's why I'm asking here.

He was asking for 5.8.5 (nougat), probably for stability reasons.

Exactly. RR 6.0 didn't even started to boot. Also I'm trying to avoid Oreo CustomROMs as much as possible - in my opininon they're still glitchy and a little bit slower than Nougat ones. Until now, the best one (built on Android Oreo) was the AOSPExtended 5.4 ROM, but I wasn't as satisfied as I was with RR 5.8.5 and some other Nougat ROMs.

The latest LOS build update the minimal firmware.Maybe the next Syberia can work finely with the 8.0 firmware.
no sound lag video for syberia 1.4
Sound video lag on Pixel Expirience with 8.0 firmware ..
Latest LineageOS 15.1 supports this firmware, audio and video fixed

install official miui version first (developer is ok) and the reinstall the syberia. that problem appear with me on lineage too.
if you know how to flash separately the firmware from miui you dont need to install the rom just the firmware.

Z00D and Z00L support and monthly builds
Since the last couple of months, support for Z00D and Z00L devices has been added. Though testing for those devices is out of reach, feedback from several users has been positive.
Due to lack of developement for the Nougat branch, the building cycle will be monthly. Once security patches are merged, a new release will come out.
Don’t expect new features or big changes, Nougat future builds will be all about stability and security patches until LineageOS stops giving support for Nougat.

Confused: Why 32bit only OS on Moto G5 64bit hardware?

Hi!
If I understand things correctly, my Moto G5 phone is born with an Android OS version that only accepts 32bit code, although the hardware is 64bit?
Why did Moto do that? It sounds like selling a car with a 6 or 8 cylinders engine, and only use 4 of them...?!
And on top of that, I discovered they stopped updating that (primitive 32bit) Android 8.1.0 OS in February 2019...
Should I switch to a custom 64bit ROM? NB!: Stability and robustness is more important to me than fancy new features...!
I found 2 lists of 'Best ROMs for Moto G5'. The shortest recommends 8 here:
https://romsx.com/best-custom-roms-for-moto-g5/
So which should I choose?
NB: Moto G5 only has 16 GB.

You will have to ask Motorola for the answer to the first part
As for custom 64bit roms:
Lineage 17.1
Lineage mint (based on lineage 17.1)
ASOP android 10
Are the latest custom roms for this device (see dev section)
All will have the same issue with regards to camera/video recording not working fully

Thank you for your reply!
But what about ROMs that have been more tested in real life, where camera and video etc. work?
Yes - it is Motorola that should answer my first questions. I don't expect any answer from them... But others might have a comment...

All 64bit roms will have the camera issue as Motorola have not released updated camera libs
The roms I listed above are the latest roms which will have the camera bug minimised but you will still experience issues in some apps like only being able to take a certain amount of photos before the app freezes, camera not working in low light, green tint, video not recording/saving and so on. You can use various other apps but nothing is perfect and you may still experience issues
The only fully functioning custom rom with no bugs will be the 32bit lineage 14.1

That is the most useful information I have yet seen about custom ROMs - thank you!
But according to https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5/development/7-1-x-lineageos-14-1-moto-g5-t3611973 LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 is:
ROM OS Version: 7.1.x Nougat
Last Updated 2018-03-18
And the 'stock' OS on my Moto G5 is Android 8.1.0 updated in February 2019.
My intention was to UPgrade my OS, not DOWNgrade it... !
So THAT LineageOS 14.1 doesn't really seem relevant.
And on https://download.lineageos.org/ there doesn't seem to be a version for Moto G5(?) There are versions for G4 and G6, but not G5. (Neither under Lenovo - the actual producer.)
But thanks anyway!

Only official versions will be on the lineageos website
There is no difference between an official and unofficial version except the official versions are built on the lineage servers every week with any lineage side changes (not device side unless merged by maintainer)
However official versions have to meet certain criteria in terms of everything that works in stock rom must work in the unofficial lineage build submitted to become official.
As the camera doesn't work as it does in stock in lineage 17.1 it will never become official in its current state
They are listed under Motorola because that is the company that makes the phones
Lenovo is the parent company that owns Motorola

So when I want to buy a phone in the future:
Which other smart phone brands will probably not leave their customers with 'a choice between plague or cholera'...?

Samsung will have the most community support as they are the most popular phones
Google pixel will obviously have longevity
Xiaomi might be the best budget choice other than later Motorola models
