How to flash this thing?

I wiped dalvik, data, system, etc and flashed the Rom via TWRP, but after rebooting it stays in loop... Any idea what I did wrong?

Thx

Make sure have the latest squid TWRP.

Then

1. Factory Data Reset
2. Wipe System , Data , Dalvik Cache , Cache
3. Flash *just the ROM*
4. Reboot

I'm not sure if this happened because I had to install GApps (otherwise Setup Manager would crash because of Nougat GApps already installed from previous ROM) or it is an issue with the ROM itself:
There's no keyboard, solved by downloading GBoard apk from apkmirror, placing it in a folder, and copying this folder to /system/app/.
There's no home app, solved by installing one from Play Store.
Now, some things I've encountered (not related to how the ROM works, but just to give advice to anyone).
1. Dolby Atmos (used the one from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-dolby-atmos-axon-7-oreo-port-t3740508) not working, the app crashes.
2. Squid's kernel does NOT work with this ROM. If flashed, the phone will keep looping at Google's logo.
3. Superuser (tried this with Magisk) has to be installed always BEFORE booting up for the first time, otherwise, loop at Google's logo.
On the other side, it works pretty good. I haven't found anything not working, and haven't noticed the phone heating or lagging. Everything is smooth.
Nice work and thanks! :)

Does anyone else have sound issues? I don't get any sound from the main speaker but phone call earpiece works as well as headphone jack.

I'm going to test other roms in the meantime to check if it's my hardware. I was unsuccessful restoring my stock backup =.=

edit: nevermind. not a rom issue at all!. slapped the phone to fix speakers

Is this running the Android Go optimizations? My only experience with Oreo is on my OnePlus 3 (which obviously doesn't turn on Android Go) and I'm not sure is the Go system is turned on by default for devices that meet its requirements.

You can flash a zip from what I've heard to use Go optimisations and stuff.
