You can either flash the boot.img from the newer Releases with “fastboot flash boot boot.img” or FlashTool,
or follow the instructions of the TWRP Recovery installation to update from TWRP.

Against advices, I upgraded without GApps and now it crashes. Any way without factory reset ?

Yes there is, but nothing assures you’ll manage to do it fully & preserve all your data…
Once booted, keep saying Ok to all “Unfortunately, … has stopped”,
pull-down the notifications panel, press the Settings icon,
go in Apps, menu, Show System, scroll to Setup Wizard (green Android logo),
Permissions, and activate Contacts + Telephone.
Later, some Play Store apps may need reinstalling.
If not ok, try this : CM Wiki
If still not, then I advise a clean factory-reset reinstallation…

The AOSP Keyboard does not support swipe gestures ?

Unfortunately the sources for swipe gestures are not available
and Google still requires their prebuilt library to be there for AOSP Keyboard.
Download the following libjni_latinimegoogle.so API 23 from OpenGApps
