@purrungo: what kernel used? Try my latest kernel (v4b) you found in post #1081, this contains the dhcpcd fix, if wifi not work, reboot the phone (do not wipe anything) and try use wifi again.
@xmanner77: this problem (long waiting in kernel logo) appear only when you install apps from cwm. I dont know why, but when the phone found a new installed app without extracted classes.dex, rebuild the whole dalvik-cache not only the new apps.
This is the reason of long wait, so if the phone boot after a long-long wait, the next boot is normal.
But if install something in cwm, maybe a long wait appear again.
Solution: do not install apps from cwm...
