Looking for technical answer. Why several charge cycles for ROM to "settle in"?

So we all know its a common rule when we flash a new ROM we should give it 2 or 3 full charge cycles to "settle in" before we judge what our battery life will be.

But why?

I did Google it, and really only came up with the conclusion that its common knowledge. "Because thats the way it is". But can someone give a white paper type of reply?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] manekineko:
No one can, because it's not true.

It's along the lines of clearing battery stats or calibrating the battery. A Google engineer made a public post that it's all cargo cult nonsense, and that all that's contained in the battery stats is info for generating those pretty graphs in the settings screen, but people around here persist in continuing to do so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kr3w1337:
Yeah, it's bull****.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
More or less the few min on boot thing, is its booting, allows the rom to fully initiate on its own, not 100% needed but does help in the sense that like windows if u open crap while its still booting it can tend to throw the system off a lil bit.

Few batterycycles, bull****.

Clear batterystats?some devices it CAN help, with this phone its pointless, as this phone has a chip to automaticly calibrate the battery anyways.

All these "tips" are more or less worthless to us and can be taken lightly..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Cool thanks guys :)

edit: manekineko...I search a little but couldnt find it. Can you give me some search terms or a link (if you can find it quickly) to that Google engineer's comments?

Thanks! Sig worthy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
now can someone explain why sometimes it takes a long time to drop batt% when it is high but quickly drops when it's in the reds... or the opposite that it drops really quick when its high but lasts forever when it's red

or when you restart your phone.. your battery level sometimes jump or drops drastically

my guess is that sometimes that chip that automatically calibrates and reads your battery is sometime inaccurate after you poweroff/reboot/pull battery.

Just a guess, but I don't really care much about all that nonsense because our phone lasts a damn long time!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Your battery % is read from the mah left inside the battery, these readings are then translated by the OS into a percsnt based of the max mah on the battery.

Once the percentage is obtained/displayed a new cycle begins, battery drain is completely depentant on the use of the device.

That being said on reboots the first known "cycle" as il refer to it as, is displayed. This first response is usually correct but can vary slightly until the system crosschecks the data.

If that does happen, wit a minute and the system will correct the value in approximately a minute.. hopefully thats clear enough and hope it answeres your question..

Thought i hit post but didnt n left browser open all mornin :/ lmao
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
I have yet to see the system suddenly correct the value. And no i was referring to battery drain with the same usage. They drain differently, it is never a linear drain. And i believe it's more than just measuring the mah left in the battery because a dead battery still has mah. And then there are extended batteries with higher mah. Oh wells.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
No crap, there higher capacity/higher MAH

And No Li-iON battery will die down to 0 MAH...

*edit

And seeing as you obviously don't know how to use google, I saved you the trouble

Terminology: mAh

Definition: The mAh acronym stands for Ampere-hour.

This is a unit of electric charge, and is frequently used in measurements of electrochemical systems such as batteries.

Example: a 2000mAh cell is half the charge capacity of a 4000mAh

If you can't take the answer given, don't ask.

Ofc its not a liniar drain ita based off usage/aps running..

And yes this is called for

Info on batterys

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/glossary/m/513466/mah.html

*EDIT2

Found a plausible way for you to achieve that close to linear drain you so desire:

A.) Install stock rom & kernel,

B.) Root, remove all bloat and ALL apps, as some start automaticly and and are registered as services and last through taskkillers.

C.) Disable ALL sync features, turn on airplane mode.

D.) don't touch phone for a few days..

Should be pretty damn linear for ye

what do you mean by "bootscreen" if this is about bootanimation then you need to perform a clean flash (wipe all thing before flash new rom)

also your phone is well-known so it has a dedicated sub-forum on XDA post your problem here

to all reading: when you have a problem firstly should check in main menu on this site maybe your phone has a dedicated thread...

or use google with a search string like this

Hey guys I know this has been asked about before but I thought Asus had to release the source code fairly quickly after release?

Are they still working on it and that's why they have not released?

Or are they waiting till there next update to release the first set of source?

Also people where talking about making a kernel with parts from the prime kernel did anything happen with that or is it not possible to build at all without there official source code?

Once again sorry for the repeat thread I have searched but there doesn't seem to be any truly definitive threads on why we don't have it or what exactly is happening.

I want them to release the source so we know what we have to play with
