These were not native builds of the operating system. Instead, they were often Hybrid ROMs. Developers would take the base of the Redmi Note 8 Pro’s stock firmware and overlay the System UI and framework files from a OnePlus device (usually the OnePlus 6 or 6T).
Xiaomi devices come with a locked bootloader. You cannot install a custom recovery or ROM without unlocking it.
However, because it is an unofficial port on a sensitive MediaTek chipset, always maintain regular data backups and be prepared to troubleshoot minor bugs.
