[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Agfadoc:
Those are some big questions.

I have tried them all and they all have less than stellar dock performance because the dock firmware from Asus and the dock battery isn't as efficient as the tablet. IMHO. If there are differences between Roms, they are insignificant using the same firmware, the same kernel, the same keystrokes the same SD card inserted with the same files in the same location on the SD. The problem, again in my opinion after pretty thorough testing of stock Rom and all the other Roms is the flashing method of the individual and the perception of the performance of the dock.

I will preface the below by saying there were big problems in the dock firmware from Asus months ago but it was resolved many firmwares ago.

Some people will get a new TF and in the excitement, use and charge and use and charge and then root and change the Rom. They read a few people having problems and begin to look at the performance of the dock. They have yet to establish their own mental baseline of what should be expected from the dock and then begin to question the Rom, all of the Roms, when they find that the dock itself isn't that great with battery performance, they look to their last action which is generally the Rom.

Lets remember that the dock extends the battery by 6 hours according to Asus, and the TF itself is rated for 10. So with that basline in mind, include an SD card in the slot for the dock, the keystrokes themselves, and the likely increased usage due to the new rom installed and people using it more to play with it. Simply put, the mouse touchpad and the keys take more power than an on screen keyboard, people get a new dock and play with it more...

Then add to that, there is the bad flash, the bad download, the improper wipe, and the variation of different apps running and kernels which have a direct effect on dock battery life.

I have spent many many hours, trying to determine the best Rom/Kernel combination for MY TF (everyone's is a bit different in overclockability, in undervolting etc) and I have found, to the best of my ability to test, that the dock firmware and Kernel is the biggest factor in dock battery performance.

Every Kernel in Android needs time to settle in, battery calibration stats need to be cleared, and charged and discharged a few times to really effectively determine the same level and expectation of the performance, but does everyone really do these things to determine their battery performance? In my opinion the answer is no.

Another factor is the ratio of users from one rom to the next, Revolver appears to have many more users than the rest and the number of complaints will naturally increase as the number of newer users increase. The level of experienced users also increase but the number of people who would be unwilling to fully wipe and reload each of the apps through whaever means, titanium backup, manual install, etc. also increase.

I could go on and on, (apparently) about battery performance because I have OCD about battery life and I have found that Revolver is no different from any of the other roms, including stock in relation to battery life when compared side by side with the same criteria, same firmware rev. same kernel, and same usage.

The flashing part is simple, I always download the Roms onto my computer, I always use 7zip to verify the download, I always copy the Rom to my MicroSD card and retest with 7zip, I always do a nandroid backup the rom I am using, I always wipe the rom data, cache and dalvick cache, I always use Titanium backup to restore my apps and I always give the rom and the kernel time with a few battery charging to determine how it performs. I have never had any trouble flashing a new Kernel, or a new Rom in any of my Android devices when I take the time and do the above. It can't be just luck.

GnuFabio, 3.11 is awesome, I am using blades pandatest 12-07 and I am getting terrific battery life and performace. Thank you for your efforts.

Sorry for the long post.

There is a whole thread on going back to stock before you send in for a warranty issue and is best served by going to those threads to get the best knowledge.

The simple answer is to download the latest 8.6.5.21 stock rom from Asus and flash it, it will overwrite your recovery and unroot your device placing stock back, but if you go to stock .21, there is no going back to root right now depending on your SN. unless you flash a lower package like 8.6.5.19 or below in the same manner to re root your device.. install recovery again and flash a new rom... From what I can see.

Mine is working, it may as simple as flashing a new Kernel if it's s driver issue, or as simple as recalibrating your gyro by holding the tablet level and doing figure 8's in the air. It's dorky but it's what you're supposed to do to calibrate the gyro in the user manual. I haven't had to do it, so I would think it might be a driver conflict and I would flash a different kernel through Revolver parts, I am using pandatest 12-07.. but flash another kernel, and check it then go back to the stock if necessary through Revolver parts too.
