Root CM12.1 Unofficial Beta

So I downloaded the December ver from page #87. I followed the install instructions to the letter and after that tried every other conceivable combo to flash this. Every time it will boot up, blue alien shows up, then setup will load the 87 apps. After that it loops back to the blue alien (now longer on this screen), then repeats the process over and over.

I tried without wipes, with selective wipes, and full wipes. Clean flashes and dirty flashes, then followed with and without cache/dalvik wipes. Also tried factory reset from recovery. No dice.

It almost seems as if the SystemUI is borked, since always looping at that spot. Do I need to pull anything from the Sept build? Is there something I'm missing or forgetting?

EDIT. After the phone is booted and loops back to the CM head, it will do very slight vibrations (1 is double short and other vibration is one same duration) in a group and 5-6 seconds later it repeats over. When "android is starting", vibrations stop. Then it loops again.

I know this isn't really any help, but just for future reference, the blue alien is named Sid :p

it might mean a wrong Google Apps is installed.

EDIT: NOT YAY(not working)! Ok no its definetly when i install the gapps, cause i flashed CM, rebooted and keyboard was functional....Im still gonna trouble shoot what is wrong, i did the pico/full/stock gapps, and they all got me the same problem

I also tried clearing the cache/data for the keyboard app itself, no luck..If you know whats the problem, that would be amazing!!!!!

Im not sure if this was already answered (cause there are 90 pages...) my keyboard is not working for some reason, it says keyboard ASOP has stopped??? Need help please

EDIT: I think i installed wrong gapp? IDK im pretty sure i got the right one, can anyone confirm or show me which one i have to install?
No, it only does that to me on all of the CM11 roms. Even before I flashed GApps. It's not doing it on this ROM though (Sept build)
Yes you can use/install another keyboard, if you like. I don't have a link, but SMART KEYBOARD is really good - plus its highly customizable. Smallest memory footprint of any of them too.

Which build are you using? Also what is the full name of the GApps package you downloaded? Did you get it from opengapps.org?

This is the build that had the working camera.
Well I thought this was the December build, then I looked at the title again and saw 1/12/15. Well, I couldn't get that to boot anyway (see my posts above).
So the December build is the one in @spock1104 post on page 87?? What changes were made from the Sept build for the December one?? I've got a working front and rear camera without any green tint on Septembers, but no NFC or screencast. Everything else is working great!!! (I'm on the September build right now.)

I was talking about only the camera when I had the issue in may 2015 with my previous volt.

You need 5.1 gapps, arm version

Thank you guys so much!! It now works!! Phone is fully operational with the newest update :)

And also, they should really update the first post and have the right Gapps cause they didnt work for me an probably wont work for other people
