[MENTION=3847629]Tk-Glitch[/MENTION] - Having some fun with this kernel so far today, thanks for all your hard work.. I really like the magnetic on/off feature, thanks to that I can now use my case again! (I had been having weird issues with the case in the past with both keeping the screen on while the magnetic cover is on as well as falsely detecting he magnet while I'm using my device, hence shutting my screen off on me at random haha)

Having a weird issue, which at first seemed to be my fault, due to my inability to follow instructions in OP. However, the issue persisted after multiple attempts. Here's what happened:

1 Went into twrp 3.0.2-0, did a full wipe. Flashed Pure Nexus 20160821, Glitch-flo-r520-full, Pure nexus Dynamic GApps 20160803, and SuperSU v2.76 20160630

2 Went into advanced wipe and formatted Cache and Data to f2fs (mistake as per OP I now know)

3 Reboot to system and get stuck at google logo for 2 minutes, then device automatically reboots to google logo, gets stuck, repeat

4 Long press power to power down, then vol down + power to go into bootloader then back into twrp, this time I formatted my cache and data partitions to f2fs first before flashing the above 4 files. I then do a full wipe.

5 Reboot after flashing above ROM, Kernel, gapps and superSU and everything is working. Use my device for a while, dust off my case and put that on, life is good.

6 Rebooted to recovery to check to make sure that cache and data were both f2fs and indeed they are. (I only checked my partitions in twrp, didn't change anything at all) Reboot system from twrp and step 3 happens again. Stuck at google logo. Unable to boot into Android at all.

7 Long press power to power down, then vol down + power to go into bootloader then back into twrp, this time I formatted my cache and data partitions back to ext4 before flashing the above 4 files. Repeated steps 5 and 6, and sure enough, I am yet again stuck at the google logo.

8. This time, I hard rebooted a couple times and was eventually able to get the OS to boot. I then went back into twrp to restore Pure Nexus with the kernel that came with the ROM, and everything is now completely back to normal. I've rebooted nearly a dozen times and it boots back into the OS right away.

My conclusion is, it's something to do with Glitch r520 and/or my device. I picked fairly stock-ish settings (L2/cache OC balanced, CPU stock 1.5Ghz, no UV/OV, default governor and sio for I/O scheduler, Fluxi's MSM Hotplug, disable magnetic, permissive SELinux, etc) as the main feature I wanted was to disable magnetic. It's annoying since there's no way I can get a log of what's going on when this happens since it's before the boot animation begins.

Sorry for the long post. TL;DR: having random issues booting into Pure Nexus from twrp after flashing r520, where my device just gets stuck at the google logo and will sometimes boot into the OS after forcing a hard reboot. I'd sure appreciate some help here since I am determined to get this kernel up and running. Am i flashing things in the wrong order, is something else wrong or does my device just not like this kernel? I have experimented in the past (KitKat days) with OC and my device seemed stable even clocked at 1.7Ghz. During all of my testing, my device go warm here and there but never hot. Thanks in advance for any help/advice on this.
