So after a few days of tinkering around, I finally rooted my Evo and installed a custom rom. One of the best things I’ve gotten out of doing so is being able to remove the frame rate cap that has plagued our devices. This video is a comparison of using the Evo before and after the fps cap has been removed. The first half consist of me using the device as it usually functions, capped and all. When I turn the screen off and back on, the custom kernel kicks in and the frame cap is removed. You can tell that everything runs much faster this time around: transitions are instantaneous, and scrolling is butter smooth. As an added bonus, this also eliminates the touch sensor lag I demonstrated in a few previous videos entirely. My Evo feels like a brand new device now thanks to the awesome developers at XDA. Running Fresh 1.0 Beta ROM with BFS+FPS mod Kernel by Toast and Flipz.

@odjojo Everything works fine with this ROM. In fact, more things work WITH it than with the stock rom. For example, I now get free 3G/4G tethering. The only noticeable issue with the whole setup is that the kernel produces some tearing in landscape mode while scrolling.
does everything work with this rom? any word when/if HTC will remove this cap?
@frankixbox This is an Epson screen. The highest framerate possible via custom kernel for epson displays is currently 55; however, that kernel didn’t play nice with my phone, so I used this one instead.
As time goes on, the developers will improve on the kernel to achieve higher framerates and fix any tearing issues.
so is this a novatec or epson screen? because i noticed that it capped out at 49fps vs 59
