Hi all,
I'll be getting an Evo this month, so I've been researching ROMs. I came across this passage in the "AC-ROM" sticky, and wasn't sure what to make of it:
That was the first I had heard of such a concern, and my subsequent Googling hasn't turned up any further discussion along these lines.
So, what's the scoop? Are the AC-ROM guys describing the issue correctly? Is this a legitimate concern?

Q) Will this ROM fix the FPS issue?
A) No, the FPS cap is still in place. You may see people suggesting you download a custom kernel to remove the FPS cap, WE HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DO NOT DO THIS! While the kernel may or may not work, the way the FPS "fix" is being implemented is detrimental to the life of your EVO and a waste of battery. The cap has not been removed in these kernels, rather, your LCD screen is being told to refresh twice as fast meaning more battery used and shorter life on your LCD screen (by 200%). We will implement a fix when a proper fix is identified that will not cause damage to your EVO. We care about your EVO as much as you do. Thanks for understanding.
