Steps are very simple:-
1.Copy the ROM and Gapps to sdcard(i am using TK micro modular gapps).
2. Boot on the recovery( twrp 2.8.7.0 huge thanks to mickybart).
3.Wipe every thing except SDCARD.
4.Unmount everything except sdcard
5. Flash ROM.
6.Flash Gapps.
5.Reboot to system enjoy clean Chroma in my case it took 8minutes for doing all this and booting into the rom.
attaching some screenshots

We will have to wait a supported recovery and kernel for full selinux. Thanks for the screenshots :)

It's the new block based OTA method. The flashing time should be faster

every thing works fine but there is no layers manager in menu
Click to expand...
I removed FMRadio in the build, maybe I will consider FMRadio as an addon in future :)
There is no theme engine in Chroma, Chroma is using Layers(RRO).

Not sure how to use it? take a look here :)
@dxavinash you must install layers manager from play store first > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lovejoy777.rroandlayersmanager


I will add more details or instruction about Layers in OP
