So i'm experiencing the same issue encountered earlier in this thread where after successfully flashing Sailfish 1.1.9.28 to my Nexus 5 via multi MultiRom it hangs at the google logo indefinitely. I wasn't sure what steps were taken to resolve it previously aside from deleting sailfish and flashing again (which ive tried) and multiple reboots. Has anyone encountered this recently or are there new thoughts? It seemed the Mer wiki talks about order or loading property files?

I have Cyanogen 12.1-20150901-snapshot successfully working as the main rom. I installed Ubuntu touch from MultiRom as a secondary and that boots fine as well. Seems just Sailfish is having the problem.

Edit: just noticed that this port was built off of 11 version of hammerhead. will try using that specific version instead of 12.1.

Edit2: That was it, I was using the 12.1 CM base image for flashing sailfish instead of the cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip one. Using the CM 11 image I'm finally in and able to try Sailfish for the first time.
