Nearly every time I have boot animation issues it is because the boot animation zip was set to something other than "store" when compressing it, which would cause a black screen during boot. Then again, that is when I was putting one together.
For those of you experiencing the black screen gurple boot animation issue
push into system/media fix permissions and reboot
It's missing the beginning.
Did you check the md5sum of the ROM to ensure a good download? It is really necessary because of the size of the file. Have you tried changing the kernel settings in the KTweaker app? Try changing the scheduler to noop and the governor to adaptive.
I did verify the md5sum. I've never messed with any kernel settings in the past. Once my phone is charged, I'll go ahead and flash it again and give this a try. Thanks!
Different phones like different settings. I did not change the default of the kernel, I left it as the Dev (ktoonsez) had it. Mine does not like the stock setting either. I provided you with the settings I use. But the good thing is the Dev has provided us with a ton of options. Those two settings (governor and scheduler) impact the kernel the most, the others are fun to play with, but ALWAYS have a nandroid before you mess with the kernel.
Alright, so I flashed the ROM again. And as I was setting it up, it rebooted itself again. Anyways, I got to the ktweaker app and set the GPU governor to adaptive, and the i/o scheduler to noop. It's been roughly 5 minutes and no reboot yet. I will post if I have any other issues. I'm not too into tweaking things at this level, so I am very unfamiliar with this app and it's potential. Definitely seems to have a BUNCH of settings in there.
The kernel is essentially the brain, it makes the decisions and gives different things priority. It's amazing what a little tweaking in there can do. I believe there is a tutorial somewhere for the app. Give me a minute and I'll see if I can find the link.
Thank you again, that thread looks extremely useful. I will read it over. Just to let you know, I connected my phone via bluetooth to my laptop, and sent a file from my laptop to my phone. As soon as it sent, the phone rebooted again. The file sent successfully, so I don't know why that happened. I might find something in that thread you linked to help me with it. Also, I opened gallery to check a screenshot I took, and gallery force closed. Opened it again, and everything was blurry for about 3-5 seconds, then fixed itself.
Umm I've never seen that. What you can do is long click it, then hit "App Info", then hit "Force Stop". I would also recommend turning off Mobile Data, it is only draining your battery, as you don't have service.Thank you again, that thread looks extremely useful. I will read it over.

On that note, here is the screenshot I took. Now, I don't think you'll be able to help me with this, as my situation is a bit different than most, but I figured I'd ask anyways since you reply very quickly. I'm currently serving overseas, so I do not have a cellular network. I connect my phone via wifi, and use it for music, facebook, and web browsing. I have this "System Update" notification that does not clear, and when I click it, nothing happens. Is this some OTA notification? Can I turn it off?
lol... I should have tried that before asking such a mundane question. Alright, this should hopefully be my last question, unless I run into some ROM breaking issues. My wifi seems to only be scanning 2.4ghz now, and not 5ghz. Is this due to the kernel as well?
I'm honestly not sure, I didn't touch anything having to do with Wi-Fi. It should work the same as stock.
