ROM's don't load anymore. After flashing crDroid then GApps it boots into the OS for a second then everything force closes and it goes into a bootloop. :(

Any suggestions?!
That's probably because of selinux contexts. Setting it to permissive would fix it. You can be sure if it's really selinux by flashing a custom kernel with permissive selinux like hybrid after flashing ROM. If it works fine consider setting it to permissive. Another fix is to "restorecon -RF /data" and "restorecon -RF /data/media". Flashing different Roms may change selinux contexts, and different android versions have different contexts. Another easy fix is clean flashing cm 13/los 14 without gapps and then clean flashing this ROM

I'm not on that level of understanding, but I'll google it and see what I can find and how-to's.

Over the past 6 years+ I've been but a simple man flashing ROM's here and there. :p

An easy way to fix it if it's really selinux problem is flashing a permissive rom first. So do a wipe and clean flash cm 13 or lineage 14 (you can find them in by searching) without gapps. Next do another wipe and clean flash this ROM and gapps. Problem should be fixed if it was related to selinux.
Alternatively, you can flash hybrid kernel (you cam find this as well by searching) after flashing this rom without having to flash cm13/los14 but if you want stock kernel either do the first or just fix selinux by writing the commands(of my previous post) in terminal

From what I've learned from flashing this smooth crdroid ROM, you can easily migrated from XenonHD, than the latest stock rom. That's mean, XenonXD before crDroid, if can flased XenonHD on your note 2, you can flash this rom with no problem too. In my case, I use magisk 16 as root option. Good luck!

That's exactly because of the selinux contexts.

My point is, it's easy to flash XenonHd from any ROM, as long as you clean flash (wipe all but internal). From XenonHd you can easily flash crDroid with clean or dirty flash and it's work.

Thanks everyone. :)

Worked. Although I probably didn't need to, I flashed the correct region XFA stock ROM, then XenonHD, then crDroid and it's working!!!
Thank you so much!

Now I'm hitting a different wall...my Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting after a few seconds to a few minutes - even though I'm right next to it, haha! Wow! I just cannot catch a break :p

Crdroid is a bit weak in signal but it shouldn't be disconnecting if you are right next to it. What modem do you have currently ?

My current router is a Netgear DGND4000. I ended up having to use the wifi dongle in my PC to connect to the internet (setup as a Hotspot).

What I'm not understanding is that my signal says "good" but it keeps going from "connecting.." to "saved" in under a second.

My router's currently down stairs - near the stairs at the bottom and I'm near the stairs at the top (I understand signal is distributed horizontally not vertically). With crDroid, RR-N, Dot-OS, etc. I'm getting the same issue with wifi connectivity. Colt Seabreaze is the best I've managed to get on connecting to the 5ghz antenna but I found the OS sluggish on my device, for some unknown reason (probably need to reflash).

Currently, I'm using RR-N edited by Marc. This is somewhat giving me a 40% better chance to connect but it's still on-and-off...more off, though.
