it will work. but the CN version of the roms for the 5S and 5G have TONNES! of bloatware. all asking for express permissions for storage and internet.

if you don't mind giving nubia literally all your data, go ahead. but the newest update for the 5S NA/EU will be out soon, v8.07 and it should install and boot on the 5G

Yeah I noticed that. I just deleted all of the bloat apps one by one

The RM5S firmware works perfect on RM5G. The only problem is it won't let you use a different launcher. But I also haven't tried root on it yet either. I will post a link if people want to try it out.]
Can't you change launcher ?
I have the Red Magic 5s and yes you can select a default launcher, i have Nova as the default launcher
the steps that you need to do is

open settings -> app info -> top right corner click on the 3 dots -> Default app settings -> Desktop and select your preferred launcher

i cant take credit of this as someone over the 5S forum section provided the steps
