Hi. I would like to move from lineage 17.1 to try your rom. The lineage is a combined gingko/willow rom. I see there is no weekly rom for 8T. Will the gingko work or will I lose NFC?
 
No, you won't be able to flash ginkgo ROM on Redmi Note 8T, and you shouldn't even try.
You'll have to make do with the Stable ROM for willow.
 
Thank you Igor. I assume there are no plans for an Android 11 based ROM for Willow?
(I think I'm not supposed to ask....)
 
Seems like both Xiaomi and Lineage have given up on the 8T....
Well, those Snapdragon 665 devices are pretty low-end... no idea why specifically Redmi Note 8 got the Android 11 treatment, and why only in China...
 
If you feel like it, could you tell me why the Xiaomi.eu ginkgo ROM wouldn't work on the 8T as I am running a ginkgo ROM on lineage?

1) Because the flashable ZIP won't let you.
2) Because the ROM has firmware update that, if flashed to willow, would brick it. Custom ROMs built from source usually don't include that.
3) Because the ROM itself was specifically configured for ginkgo.
