Thanks for the heads up about the kernel. As an update, I flashed the kernel, and got it working. It froze at bootup the first time, but after clearing Dalvik / cache, and giving it about 4 minutes to boot up (the first time after clearing the cache is always long), I was in.
It's pretty incredible. My jaw literally dropped a bit when I saw my Evo screen mirrored perfectly on the monitor! But it's not quite where I'd use it to watch movies or anything. Some feedback:
1. Evo seems to function at 16bit color. Not really as noticeable on the handset, but when you have a large screen you really notice the color banding and gradients. My understanding is that the system CAN function in 24-bit color, and even the Evo screen can do it, but currently nobody has that working. If there's a way to enable it for HDMI output, though, that would be amazing.
2. There are a lot of glitches running at 720p. It's understandable, but I was getting a full-image flicker every few second or two, and it was hard to get use to.
3. It's really surprisingly smooth (720p at at least 25-30fps, it seems) and very little (10ms or less) lag. That said, watching videos, you do see the image isn't consistently smooth, like when there are pans and zooms. I think right now the fps is probably uncapped, but it would be great if there were an option to lock it at something (like 25fps), so that the framerate stays consistent.
4. The image color is a bit shaky. Meaning the brightness or color profile will be constantly shifting a bit, even when there aren't full screen glitches.
I'm not sure what Supercharge mode did, but it didn't seem to improve (or worsen) performance for me.
Anyway, that's all. I really can't wait until this is perfected and baked into our favorite ROMs. Where do we find a donate link (other than on the app itself)?
