Yes, you need clean install (factory reset) and then just flash rom & gapps

 

[Guestx00205]

THX. As I see in first post: photo working, video not (front, back or both)? GPS unknown mean not tested yet?

I got this problem and the rom wont boot up.. any advices?

UPDATE: Nevermind it booted succesfully now.
OMG the CM recovery is so annoying, if I'm going to flash the TWRP again using fastboot it makes me stuck in the twrp until I install again the CM14.. need to figure out this somehow

 

[St.Jimmy90]

Flash twrp from your device using the dd command. You can find a how to in the thread as well as on the official twrp website

Just enable the integrated CM root access in developer options

 

[BSHD666]

So, its necessary to do a clean installation and if I do this i lost my files from my internal storage due to the unification?

 

[fenix888]

[quimilink]

[LukaPochi]

I found a bug, the GPS (stand alone, without the internet access) dosen't track the position at all.
