Thanks...but its not very clear with: Do a factory reset from recovery, wipe everything under /data or you will face a bootloop.....
You mean wipe only data or all.....under Wipe...Advanced Wipe...Dalvik/ART Cache....Cache...Data...Internal Store and System and then
By using fastboot in TWRP (USB attached and holding Volume down when booting) flash boot and system images and Reboot...Did i understand it right or not?

Now I understand, you have twrp 2.7.0.. Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache but if you have problems try to flash suggested twrp

With twrp 3.0.2.0, when you go to the Wipe section you will find "Swipe for Factory Reset" on the bottom of the screen and that's enough for get the rom booting

No brightness control
Only SIM 1 detected
No BT
No FM Radio
No Camera

Haha ... That's awesome news Gabry. Can't say for how long I waited this, really good job mate ! I'm willing to test when I have some free time and don't need full working state. Only issue that retains me to flash it right now is the gps I use daily for trafic ... other than that, other features are useless for me. Hope to get my hands on soon. Keep it up ! Cheers.

You got a way I(we) can donate to you?

 

[Skorpi58]

Dear @gabry3795. i installed the Rom yesterday ... Pure Android is really Super ...thanks for your effort and work...
but as also you know, there are really many bugs and it closes the launcher, gallery, camera etc by itself ... I also couldn't restore my apps from the backup of TWRP and also Titanium backup again....

Thank you for this thought, and thanks to everyone wants to do it, I really appreciate it. I updated my donation info on my profile. I'm sorry to offer only an unstable beta, result of an occasional work, for now but it's the best that I could do.
