My N7105 Hong Kong version does the exact same thing. Flickering boot animation when it starts up and then appear and then it goes dark till it boots all the way.

I had this with AOSP roms. I found the way to fix it was with NEAK 1.7.x kernel. Make sure you get the AOSP one for obvious reasons.

There is no need to modify kernel to boot up cm10.1 normally with boot animation.
Solved installing Philz Recovery. Cm10.1 now installs and boots normally without any kernel modification .

thanks for the tips, I too found Philz Recovery allows the animation/recovery to load correctly - would still be nice to understand why it doesn't work with CWM based recovery... although right now I'm very happy with CaponMod and the Perseus kernel
