[dfine1966]

Just thought you might want to see this it looks like the people over at XDA have uncapped the 30 frame limit for the EVO 4G version 02 hardware Nova screen. They now got it to 53. Check out the test on the video below.

Yeah... I'm still waiting for an official fix.... This whole thing is REALLY making me angry...

 

[Aridon]

The device is nigh and day different with the fix. It will only get better.

Ah, but you assume that a fix will be released. HTC is saying the cap is by design because of the HDMI out.... Total BS if you've seen the Droid X benchmarks....

Excellent work to the XDA team... maybe I missed it but any word on the 0003 hardware with the nova screen?

I'm guessing you quoted the wrong person

 

[storino03]

Awesome. I'll have to try it later if the directions aren't too hard

 

[gksmithlcw]

Nope. I thought you responded to me and I responded back.

 

[storino03]

where's the original xda development thread link mentioning the fix?

 

[Aridon]

I know htc is full of **** because I'm already running the fix. Not sure what your getting at.

I know the device is night and day different. Much faster and more responsive with the fix. Dare I say just like the iphone.

I found this over at XDA talking about the kernel. Start around message 1178.

Here is the link:

Relax. I'm not trying to call you out. I'm saying that HTC has yet to address this issue and is, in fact, treating it as a NON-ISSUE, thus an official FIX may NEVER occur.

They are suppose to be releasing something on the 28th but no one knows exactly what it entails.

Last I heard, it didn't include ANYTHING regarding the FPS issue. Let's hope that's NOT the case...

Just say it's like the Incredible.
I was kinda' pissed too cause my Evo lags when I go through menus and app listings.
It's already bad enough that games like Raging Thunder II that runs BUTTER SMOOTH on the N1 and Incredible experience lovely framerate issues on the Evo.

 

[storino03]

Anyone know how to use the kernel?

 

[sonso]

Come on Sprint/ HTC, take care of this so that it is a none issue

 

[SilverZero]

I thought the rumor mill was saying the Monday update will have more to do with enabling the wireless-N hardware. I'd be surprised if they were going to uncap the framerate, they have no reason to do so. If somebody pushes them hard enough, maybe we can get an unlimited HDMI out and framerate in one bundle. Here's hoping.

DIRECTIONS FROM XDA:

grab ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery, then click install from SD Card, click the zip, then choose to backup current ROM, DON'T WIPE ANYTHING, then click ok.
