Here in this /e/ forum I’ve already written numerous comments on the Redmi Note 8 + Note 8T (please use the search function at the top right), therefore only in short form: The Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and Redmi Note 8T differ only in that the Note 8T is additionally equipped with NFC. There is different stock firmware for both devices but only one custom ROM. Compare specs

My old ginkgo (Redmi note 8) come back to life, thank you very much @ronnz98 
Hi Folks.
I was surprised to find this topic. Very nice! I have 2 note 8 devices. They are in need of new software. I found another option on the web that I tried already
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gogreenxiaomi/files/ginkgo/Rom-e/
I don’t know who they are but the rom is quite excellent and contains the xiaomi camera as a bonus for significantly better photo’s. Any chance that we can see a rom with that camera app here?
I can also confirm… The ginkgo is nice with the e.OS U Build from Ronnz… I flashed the Rom with Twrp v3.7.0_12-1 to solve the problems with dynamic partitions and earlier recovery versions…
Thank you 4 finding another e.OS unofficial Rom… I will test this too, because I also have 2 of the ginkgos…
PS: Maybe the Cam App can be saved as .apk for distributing it here or elsewhere for people who are interested in?
Greet’s
Hiho,
good work !!!
The image run without problems on a Redmi Note 8.
Thanks
Ronzz build had been running tremendously well on one of my devices.
Now all devices (3 in total) are receiving updates to E/os 2.8. Any plans on providing that update?
Update for /e/OS-U 2.8
Great! It willl be tried out right away! Thanks!
I have 2 options:
Will I loose data if I do not decrypt data and doing a dirty flash? I am not eager to start all over with that phone.
Any suggestions? (another recovery perhaps? )
