FPS Fixed in 2.2???

[Ahchoo]

Anyone with Froyo... How many Frames Per Second are you getting? Are you still limited to 30 FPS?

 

[werx]

30 FPS is still there.

Root your phone + install Cyanogen instead.

Don't root you're phone just for a fps fix. It's pretty stupid to void your warranty just for a fps fix. But that's just me

where does it say root voids warranty? the courts ruled it legal....I'd like to see that case. Or do you have a droid?

All that ruling means is you can root your phone without legal repercussions. You still void your warranty because you are tampering with the device.

Bah, root it.

 

[Yourdogsdead]

I concur the rooting notion. If you want the 30 FPS cap gone, root the phone.

Ok...I keep reading this as an issue and maybe I just don't understand. I don't see the need to root the phone for a minor change.

Again maybe its just my ignorance on FPS.

show me
Only physically modifying the device is tampering
I can "unroot" and they will never know thus I didn't tamper

so when I install linux on my windows laptop I void the warranty? not

With root + cyanogen mod.. i'm getting 52fps on avg in the bench mark apps. Can definitely tell in the UI when scrolling or dragging an icon around the screen and moving your finger fast around the screen.. the icon stays much closer to where your finger is instead of it lagging behind like seeing trails. So there is definitely an improvement in the UI with the fps unlocked.

It's a different warranty.

Of course it's still capped, because they keep HDMI functional. It is not functional on CM6 for that reason.

 

[JayL]

returning a rooted phone may void

but the act of rooting is not going to void, if you flash it back before returning

it's how they get it or ask them for help....

Why is it that Droid X does not have a cap on the fps, yet it also sports a hdmi plug?

Sick burn, lol. Yeah I'm adding nothing to this discussion...

I am getting 53-54fps w fresh rom. Both games and UI run a lot smoother now. The only game I play id homerun battle 3d though. 20fps is a big difference.

If you modify the OS you won't get any support from HTC or Sprint if there is an issue. Clearly, if you break your phone and file a warranty claim that will be covered but if you brick your Evo and you are not running stock you won't get a replacement!

And, if you take your non-stock phone into a Sprint store for any reason and they see it is not stock they won't help you unless you get really lucky.

Different implementation/hardware.

if it's bricked and you can't fix it no matter what, then you smash the screen and drop it in water turn it on and let the sucker fry.... that's what you have insurance right? if its bricked and you know they aren't going to get it replaced for free then use your $7 insurance to get another one for $100...

they can't tell it's rooted if it's fried..
