go into your system/app folder and look for velvet.apk or googlequicksearchbox.apk. rename or delate then try and flash again.
 
I installed the newest update yesterday and it was working fine, then I had trouble sending any messages this morning and I cut rebooted the phone twice and then cut it completely off and on again but it got stuck on the boot screen. its been this way all day, all I see it the beats logo
 
Every time I go on kernel tuner after a fresh full restart (not quick-boot) it stays on dual core until everything is loaded and then cpu 1 is offline. I have to turn it on manually every time. I flashed your rom after wiping everything. Please help me or give me some more details about this problem, thanks!

Holy crap! That's why my quadrant scores have been so "low", like in the 3500s. I just manually toggled the 2nd core through kernel tuner and bam, 4400+ quadrant scores.

I'm not sure if the 2nd core is really "off" after your restart, but surely just sitting on the kernel tuner screen doesn't require both cores running at the same time, so the 2nd one shuts down. You see it active as the program starts up and loads its modules but then it just gets turned off. I think the kernel tuner option just lets you force the 2nd core not to get turned off based on demand.

However, with that said, it sure doesn't seem like my 2nd core has been coming online when running Quadrant...

So after poking with it a bit I think what happens is when you launch Kernel Tuner it then loads the "Battery" profile by default which has just one core enabled. Heck, I'd say it's loading this profile even without opening the app, as I notice that my sleep2wake setting goes away after each reboot. I tried making a new profile with that setting enabled but it appear to load Battery each time the phone reboots.

Did you make any other tweaks, and can you tell what they were? I have both cores on, max cpu set as high as it can go, performance mode selected for both, and still only get 3500. Not that I really care TOO much, just would like to see that I can replicate what others are doing.

I really don't get how this tuner works - if it does. Settings I put in it keep being changed after I exit. Sometimes they stick longer than others but they always change eventually. Had the same trouble with no frills cpu.

I actually just removed the kernel tuner because to me it seemed to be doing more harm than good lol.

But, to get a 4400+ score I went in to kernel tuner, enabled the 2nd core, then went into no frills cpu control and bumped the speed to 1.7ghz and changed the governor to performance. That's all I did.
 
OK thanks. I set the min and max both to 1.7, in both kernel tuner and no frills, and now I got a 4300, much better. Maybe having both of these apps is creating a conflict, of course previously I had only no frills and had the same issue of settings changing, so maybe not.
 
After removing Kernel Tuner I see why my battery life was so good now. The phone must have been defaulting to that single core lower performance "battery" profile at start up. With kernel tuner removed I can already see a big difference in battery life.
 
No I take that back, it's not defaulting to the battery profile, but I'm pretty sure the 2nd core is disabled until you do something about it.

So does uninstalling kernal tuner make battery life better or worse? Thanks for clarrification

I thought it made it worse, but I think I was just imaging that. Unless you open it and make some tweaks and play with things the the system is running at default it is set for, which is 1.29ghz with the ondemand governor and the 2nd core looks to be disabled.
 
Well I got my oc'ing back to where it should be by downloading and flashing the newest MNR. Runs like butter baby! Back up to 1.7 GHz. Woot woot!
