Took a chance and installed on MM bootloader and modem{J500F}, as I was on Lineage and Validus 8.1 before. Booted up, and it has been running fine ever since.

Edit. The only small issue so far is that the battery percentage is not shown even if force percentage shown is selected in AOKP settings. Not a big problem though

Nevermind, got the battery figured out. Forgot the show percentage setting in standard battery settings. All good now.

Installed it from MM bootloader
The rom is smooth as LOS 15.1 And it supports theming ( unlike LOS )
Totally loving it
Edit : bluetooth audio works , but button control works on some apps like phonograph and doesn't in power amp beta and mx player
Can some one confirm it's not only my issue ?
