Yeah. I'm not sure why it didn't seem to make any difference for me. Almost like it wasn't really flashing appropriately (even though I attempted many times including reflashing the ROM and the mod multiple times). And, you're right I guess it was with beastmode overclocked that I got 10k. But, currently with AOSP 4.4/4/3 and CM 11/10.2 I get anywhere between 3k's to 4k. Once, got it up to 5k during a random quadrant score testing but that was it. I'm curious though to now how/if other's are able to get it functioning what their procedures and settings are.
Sense-based ROMs benchmark a lot higher than CM-based ROMs, but CM-based ROMs feel snappier so I prefer a snappier experience than a high benchmark.
In the N5 thread, they mentioned CM handles dalvik a little differently so maybe that's why it doesn't work.
