You should! I think you'll be very happy with how much smoother your evo runs. Like Jerzy's evo, my evo is hitting some very nice quadrant scores with the VaelPak 2.0 rom.

Jerzy sold me on the rooting bragging about the VaelPak and then once rooted and runnning VaelPak I will probably never use a different ROM because Vaelek is incredibly responsive and helpful in every way. Amazing support for a great and stable ROM.

Finally hit 1590 on Quadrant the other day while sitting in traffic here in LA....

Impressive...I just installed this rom too but my Quandrant score is 1224. I wonder why there's such a big difference?
 
You might want to install setCPU... be careful with some of the settings but you can really improve battery life with setting low usage when screen off and increase performance (sacrificing some battery life) with the app.

Check out this link for the set up:

[ROOT] Using SetCPU + Perflock Disabler to Save Battery, Underclock - Android Forums

Perflock is already disabled so no need to do that and be VERY careful about how high you set the Max setting... vaelek recommends 1152 (also should "detect" it through the program). some CPUs might be able to go higher but mine froze and rebooted with 1190... do not check "Set on Boot" until you have figured out the highest setting so that it doesn't reboot and freeze up over and over again
 
I installed the v2.0 that comes with the kernel and I can't get higher then 31fps on fps2d...whats wrong ?
 
Evouserxxx, you can try flashing one of the kingxkernels. I'm using kingxkernel #9.
 
the only thing that i dont like that its only 3 pages... bummer

Also how do i use the High res option?

Is it compatible with the rom? How would I go about doing that? I downloaded the v2. 0 that came with kernel BFS8.... I flashed the whole ZIP file as per instructions. Maybe I was suppose to do something different with the kernel that came in the zip? It was my first time loading a rom

I am definitely not getting past 31fps

Can someone please answer my questions.

1. Does it matter what kind of screen you have. Weather an Epson or novac because I heard the cap was only unlocked for the Epson screns not the novacs yet.

2. Will rooting the phone and loading these custom roms have any effect on the video cameras capability.


I say this because I am having choopy video playback when I ubdated to 2.2 stock and took it to Sprint and they told me I could not bring it back to 2.1.


So now I am looking into this option. So how the HD camera working? I heard their were problems when running these custom Roms in regards to Video recording.
 
Anyone know why I lost the ability to write to my sd card on the vaelpac 2.0 rom? Its messing up my camera, etc. I've pulled the battery.

I'm pretty sure that you're not running the right kernel.

Go to Menu>Settings>About Phone>Software Information to find out which kernel you're running.

Kingxkernel #9 is compatible with vaelpak 2.0. Just download the kernel. boot into recovery mode, and flash it the same way you would a rom. EDIT: You need to do a wipe while in recovery mode.

I just installed the Kingxkernal #9(I was on #7). My Quadrant scores are still in the mid to lower 1200s and my Linpack is 33.36 MFLOPS.

*Edit 2: After running Quadrant a few times, the first 2 or 3 were in the low 1200s. The last 4 have been upper 1300s, low 1400s(which is higher than I ever got with base 2.2). Not sure how accurate this is, but Fps2D says i'm averaging 52 FPS as well.

Sounds about right. I've gotten high 1600 quite a few times, but I'm also o/c'd to 1190mhz. The only way you're gonna get 1500's+ is by using SetPCU and o/cing. If you're using Kings 52-54 is what you should be getting.

I have a Novac screen and mine is capped. 32's in NeoCore, 52-54 in fps2d.

2. Will rooting the phone and loading these custom roms have any effect on the video cameras capability.

It depends if the developer of the ROM has reworked the camcorder app. I've personally talked to Vaelek (developer of VaelPak) about increasing fps, increasing quality of HD video and improving audio quality. He is in fact going to be working on it.

I say this because I am having choopy video playback when I ubdated to 2.2 stock and took it to Sprint and they told me I could not bring it back to 2.1.

Choppy playback is something on htc's end. Unfortunately he hasn't (don't know if any other developer has) been able to work on that.

So now I am looking into this option. So how the HD camera working? I heard their were problems when running these custom Roms in regards to Video recording.

No problems at all with the camera working or camcorder working on the VealPak rom.

How's the battery life overclocked vs nonoverclocked on this rom/kernal?
