Feedback on Eos with Cornerstone

Just wanted to share my experience of using Eos Rom with Cornerstone.

Just for a bit of background. I am fairly techie but this is my first play with customising my Transformer.

Transformer was running latest stock ICS with .24 kernel. I rooted it without issue. Very easy. Initially after a lot of research I installed the guevor Test kernel. Athough it took me a long time to find. Everyone was referring to guevor's kernel and I did not make the connection from guevor to test kernel. Probably just me.

The guevor test kernel installed fine and worked without issue. I did not spend a lot of time using this kernel as I came across Cornerstone and just had to give it a try.

So it seemed as though the Eos rom was the most active cornerstone build. I installed this. The first installation was a bit buggy. The activating tablet process didn't quite work. Some of the fields didn't work. It seemed like it was conflicting with cornerstone. I was also a little confused as I wanted to use the same kernel as the more experienced Eos developer. It took me a while to realise that Flashing the Eos rom automatically flashed the kernel.

I reflashed the rom and it all went smoothly. I am very impressed with how well and smooth the rom runs. I would have not much ability to troubleshoot issues but pleasingly there wasn't any real major issues. There was a couple of minor bugs that I will share.

1. When using PlayStore and doing a search. The smart matching feature provides a list of possible search terms when you start typing a search query. When trying to press on the first item in this smart list in 90% of cases the press registers on the second listing.

2. One of my favourite apps is the Dual Battery Widget. However probably about 50% of the time this doesn't work properly. Instead of displaying 2 battery icons it just has these do small rectangles. You can not click on them. They don't work. Uninstalling, removing, recreating the widget sometimes fixes it. Restarting sometimes fixes it. I have not worked out a reliable process to get it working.

3. Occasionally a app would freeze or stop responding. For the most part this seemed to be recoverable without restarting. My first instinct is that it is related to cornerstone.

4. Very occasionally I would get a graphic split of the screen. This would only occur for a fraction of a second.

5. On 1 occasion after plugging the keyboard in it did not register as far as the battery was concerned. After plugging the dock in and plugging both into the charger but putting the tablet into sleep not off. The OS did not register that the batteries had charged. After charging overnight it still showed only 14% battery. On restarting the tablet it showed 100%.

6. On 2 occasions the tablet has stopped responding. I wasn't particularly patient and did a force restart. I am not sure if it would recover.

These items are very minor and have not occurred particularly regularly. The most frustrating thing at the moment is typing on the Keyboard. It is probably just me getting used to the keyboard but I also think some of it is the auto correct. But as I don't plan on doing a whole lot of writing on it this should not dampen my enthusiasm.

I am currently waiting on my Prime to be delivered. I can wait to Benchmark, Flash, Benchmark again. etc.

Anyway that's my 2 cents worth. Thanks to everyone who has been developing these roms and kernels.
