I installed it several times over each after perofrming a complete wipe, formatting /system /data /cache as well as dalvik, but I can’t seem to get past the boot animation. The blue head pops up and keeps ‘radiating;. It’s not frozen but rather stuck in a loop. FYI I’m shifting from aapav01’s marshmallow and for the time being will be returning to it. Any help is appreciated!
