FAQS

Q. How to enter recovery while you are facing a booloop?
A. Hold power and volum up for 10 seconds, when the screen goes to black release volum up and hold volume down until the phone vibrate, release power and keep holding repeatedly volume down until you see twrp splash.

So how much space does it have after flashing?
EDIT: So I flashed it, and there's still bloatware which i can't uninstall.

No solution to create a zip, can be simpler for many users ?

ADB doesn't work

I have installed latest ADB and Fastboot drivers but everytime when I try adb shell it tells me that my device is unauthorized, I try to fix this but I can't. I change the USB cables, nothing ask me for usb debugging when I plug my phone. And i'm sure this is for the first time that I'm using ADB with this ROM, I delete abdkey and abdkey.pub in C:/User, but it doesn't work. I unistall PC Companion, nothing change, I reinstall ADB driver, I install driver from adbdriver.com but it doesn't work. I try to remove misc/adb with Root browser but in adb there isn't file. I restart PC and I try adb kill-server, then I restart phone but it doesn't work. Can you fix this issue or I'll back to Android Lolipop, sorry for bad English :laugh:
