One note about the governors. Use ondemand or ondemandx. If you are using an app when you get a call it has the unobtrusive call notification at the bottom of the screen.

First boot took a while. Almost five minutes. Are you seeing the boot animation? Took about thirty seconds for boot animation to show. Has the swirling circles like illusion 2.1

I tried 2 clean flashes. One with gapps and one without. Never saw boot animation. Just a vibrate and then the Samsung logo. Had to pull battery and restore slim

I pulled the dev db link. @alanjames01 I know it's a pain but would you try the dev host link and see if it will boot for you? Thanks guys.

using "No-Frills CPU Control" app, when changing HYPER to OneDemand or OneDemandX I get an instant crash and reboot. Is there not a CPU control built into the settings in the ROM? I looked everywhere...

I tried both. No boot whatsoever. And of course proper wipes were done. I've been doing it for two years now lol.

just tested aokp w/no problems booting.
users having no boot issues on latest cm nightlies, my quote from the cm11 thread:
ive been having no problems flashing cm11 based roms.
using philz cwm 6103, was testing previously w/twrp 2610, just tested cm-11-20140123-NIGHTLY-skyrocket.zip , dirty(from slcm10.2), clean, no gapps, w/gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip, it boots, it runs, i signed in to google, but not tested for long term stability.
so for users who are having no boot issues my guess is user error, what error idk. thats why i suggest todo a proper wipe of everything including sdcards(even remove ext. sdcard) to rule out any possible issues with something on your phone.
maybe my phone is a "special" phone as it likes any rom lol

edit:btw im on uxumay7 radio, philz 6103, when wiping i just used philz installing a new rom wiping option

No boot, the boot image loaded but it was glitchy, then froze and then bootloop proceeded. I'll try to do what vincom recomended and wipe my sd card, ill post results after.
