Yeah this kernel does NOT over clock/activate 2nd core presently. Really digging the fact that some development is going on for my new device. I would help port cm over but I'm not familiar with porting to new devices. Thanks for the work, can't wait to get the final product!

You need to change how the zip writes the image. Apparently it's not erasing the old image properly.

Change
Code: 
write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

To:
Code: 
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/dev/zero", "of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/boot.img", "of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot");

It takes longer, but it's guaranteed to work successfully.

I tried the build from earlier today. No luck. I just red downloaded from the OP, and the file sizes were the same. Went ahead and flashed it anyways, without error. 1.18 is still my max clock. Something is not right.

EDIT: And thanks cooldudezach for your insight. I am still pretty excited to try this out
 
Here's one to test. I just built it and swapped it into his kernel zip (and fixed the bug). Test would be good. It has no overclocked GPU, but the CPU is OC'd to 1.944 GHz! :D
Edit: Removed for a second.
 
OK, So I fixed the typo in the updater script, Signed the zip, installed, went without a hitch.

UNTIL REBOOT.

Upon reboot it boot loops, even after a data wipe.

Then my dumb self, didnt make a backup first, should of thought about it ahead of time but im not fretting yet. im sure one of you guys would loan a fellow a backup if in dire need right? just of the standard kernel

Unfortunately I'm at home on VM throttled interwebs or else I would throw you my cwm backup
 
shoot, I dont know why I was thinking cwm could make a kernel backup... if it can, it would be under advanced backup. besides that I guess ill have to wait for this one to be fixed but im not worried. I found a complete backup but ive been living off my tether, only have shoddy internet available atm and 240mb off of crap internet just doesnt happen.

Heh, I downloaded the update.zip from the website after bootlooping my girlfriends while rooting. Took about 3 hours using ADM from the market. I am still available to test the next build and if it loops me too I have the update.zip to flash back and report
 
but really guys, make the backup plz. i used to do this too. up until i had a soft brick for a week and then someone finally uploaded a backup to the net. dont be the old me
 
Have been keeping my thread on xda (where I actually asked about this before I even knew there was work being done) updated and trying to bring some more help your way, so long as that is ok with you?
 
idk why cache hangs? it seems to be happening on a lot of devices tho. ccan you paste a link to that thread for me? we need all the help we can get
 
OK, the standard stock-nex-kernel.zip was suffering from the same updater-script issue, fixed it myself, signed, and installed.

same boot loop, even the stock one is bootlooping, now my device was OTA'd but its still 4.1.2. anyone that has updated their phone, please do a backup of boot, and upload it, you dont have to lose any apps/data. as long as your phone boots. thanks ahead of time.
