I'm stuck in boot for like an hour. I don't think that's normal?

Edit: Am I missing something? This is the first time I'm upgrading to 7.1 from 6.0 and no matter what ROM I try I get stuck at boot.

what is your stock firmware that you use it before? is that 15.4.A.1.9?, what package that you're flashed after flash this ROM?
I haven't used stock in years now so I don't remember the last firmware I was on. I've been on CM13 for the last 7 months or so and then I flashed your ROM and then flashed opengapps after. I also tried booting without flashing gapps but I still get stuck on boot. The problem also occurred when I tried flashing AOSP 7.1

trying to re-flash your stock firmware based on your device model, and try to flash it with latest firmware with full wipe. I don't know too why, if you're only flash rom and stuck on boot. You're not flash any custom kernel right?
but i'm not sure that from firmware, since you can install lollipop and marshmallow without any error. Have you try to flash any Pure AOSP or AOSP CAF for nougat on your device?
And try to not include supersu as flashing step, try only flash ROM only.

Request for a rom

@Nicklas Van Dam
great work here .Slim roms are great and are low on resource utilization . :good:

Can i request you a few things?
1)Ambient display-I guess i could be added to device tree so that it could work (you did it before with mods )
2)puse hand wave features(the one in which notifications are shown is ambient display mode when phone is removed from the pocket or hand is waved over the proximity sensor - again releated to ambient display and proximity sensor
3)Can you also build Aospa (paranoid rom) - its also based on aosp (so lighter ) and has few additional features too (though most of them are still private for now)

Thanks a lot
Btw if you need a tester my xperia m dual is now my secondary device so as long as something does not hardbrick it ,i can test pretty much everything
