So about the WiFi not working, idk if it was because of the order I installed them (I just followed the front page instructions exactly) but basically when I went to install the firmware for my "willow" it told me "this is a ginkgo" and wouldn't let me install it which I knew was wrong but I had no idea installing the wrong firmware would both actually install and hard brick my phone.

I mean it's completely my bad I accept full responsibility for it so I'm not complaining about the rom. But in regards to people with a "willow" maybe the order of the installation should be firmware and then the rom? idk if that would help though, thanks for all the work anyway, your rom made the note 8t a lot better than stock.

sure, but the order doesn't matter actually
I'll change it in the post anyway since flashing firmware before sounds cleaner to me while it might make 0 difference.
Regarding different firmwares for both the devices, I've mentioned it properly in the instructions that we've seperate firmware for ginkgo and willow by linking separate links to their firmwares.

I am going to be very honest with this, recently we've grown a lot and now we've over 10 officially supported devices for PixelOS. All the test builds and release builds are automated and are compiled on our CI server. We started using pling as a download site for all of our builds (you may have to search for how pling works) which is ad-free and helps us cover a small fraction of our server costs.
XDA doesn't allow pling download links, so I have decided to post one version older builds here so people can still use it instead of discontinuing this thread.
I hope you understand.

I dirty flashed "PixelOS_ginkgo-12.0-20220101-1205.zip" which I downloaded about 40 minutes ago, over the 26/11/2021 version, and it couldn't decrypt my files so it threw me into a bootloop. I almost reset my phone, but I reflashed the older version and my data is intact, thankfully. Now I see that the files on SourceForge are being actively modified and a new one has been added. Could it be related to my issue? :D

I recommend doing a clean flash since you're on a really old build.

So yesterday I decided to give this Rom a try for the very first time. As I clicked download button it redirected me to sourceforge website and I downloaded the earlier build ( November build) just Cz the file wasn't updated there but was updated on pling.
All this time I thought I was using latest build.

    PixelOS is an AOSP-based ROM, with Google apps included and all Pixel goodies. We aim to provide an experience similar to Google Pixel phones with numerous performance enhancements and a small amount of useful additional features.

    Code:
    /* Your warranty is now void.
    *
    * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
    * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
    * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
    * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
    * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
    */

    Device-specific issues:
    • You tell me.

    Notes
    • Ships with QuicksilveR-v2.5 kernel
    • MIUI Camera is included
    • Enforcing Build

    Keep in mind ...
    - DO NOT try to change the included kernel
    - DO NOT USE any other recovery than the recommended TWRP or PixelOS recovery which is included
    - YOU MUST CLEAN FLASH IF:
    - You are coming from any other ROM or MIUI
    - You are coming from previous Android Version

    Clean flash (coming from a different ROM):
    Clean flash involves formatting data which means you will be loosing data stored in the internal storage of your device, data in SD Card should not be affected. I will not be responsible for any loss of data.
    - Download ROM, TWRP recovery (click [here](https://sourceforge.net/projects/win-abs/files/ginkgo/Teamwin%20Recovery/recovery_FbeV2.img/) for TWRP) and firmware (you can find it under the 'Archive' on website) to your computer
    - Reboot the device to bootloader (Fastboot Mode)
    - Flash the recovery by running fastboot flash recovery <path/to/recovery.img> in terminal
    - Reboot to recovery by running fastboot reboot recovery in terminal
    - Go to Advanced > Enable ADB Sideload
    - (Optional) Flash the firmware through ADB sideload by running adb sideload <path/to/firmware.zip>
    - Flash the ROM through ADB sideload by running adb sideload <path/to/rom.zip> in terminal
    - Go to main menu > Wipe > Format Data > Type "yes" and confirm
    - Reboot and voila!

    Dirty Flash / Update
    There will be no loss of data if everything goes well. Keep backups incase of any mishap. I will not be responsible for any loss of data.
    - Download ROM file to your computer
    - Reboot the device to recovery
    - On your phone [which is in recovery mode], go to Advanced > Enable ADB Sideload
    - Flash the ROM through ADB sideload by running adb sideload <path/to/rom.zip> in terminal

    Encryption FAQ

    Encryption means converting your data into an unreadable (encrypted) format which prevents it from being read without first being decrypted, increasing security as those who don't know the key (in this case password or PIN) to decrypting the data won't be able to read the data, they'll just get jumbled characters.

    On the other hand, leaving the phone decrypted or forcing decryption will allow anyone access to that data without issue.

    Most ROMs are encrypted by default. When formatting data during the flashing process, this allows the data partition to be encrypted when the phone boots.

    In short:
    1. If you prefer your data being secure and aren't planning on changing ROMs frequently, leave the builds encrypted.
    2. If you plan on flashing different ROMs on a regular basis, decryption may be an easier option though less secure.

    Can I flash magisk on encrypted builds with PixelOS recovery?
    Yes, you can sideload it

    How to flash encrypted builds?
    - Reboot to fastboot mode
    - Flash PixelOS recovery fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    - Sideload ROM using ADB
    - Go to Advanced and Format Data
