No, I didn't say that HTC removed the cap because users removed it themselves. I'm saying HTC removed the cap because customers complained, and HTC listens to their customers. While it is true that they once said it couldn't be done, that statement was proofed false when the dev community did it themselves.That makes no sense, sounds like you're posting to hear yourself talk. Get a jab in wherever you can. You are not surprised that the 30 fps cap was lifted because ... everyone who cared about it already lifted it?
Most people that actually seriously use their phones don't mess around with flashing roms, particularly multiple times. Too much downtime, even though Android is better at recovery after a full wipe than most platforms. ROM flashing is the domain of measurebators and as far as I've seen, they do 1/5th what power users do with their stock ROMs.
There remains for practical purposes nothing the Evo is not capable of in the android world, as far as being able to run applications -- yes, including games. No amount of naysaying changes the fact that that puts it above the Epic at this time.
But this was true before the FPS cap was lifted as well, so I didn't figure it was a priority issue. The really surprising thing to me is there were no rumors that this was coming. Froyo was openly announced and the previous OTAs were hinted at when people contacted HTC for support.
The EVO has had tons of updates already, and will continue to get more udpdates. Fact of the matter, is, this FPS unlock doesn't "put it ahead" of the Epic as far as performance is concerned. It just means that in 2D applications, it can perform AS WELL as the Epic... but definitely not better. In 3D applications, you're lucky to even hit the 30 FPS cap.... let alone 20-25. Try recording 720p video at night or in low-light settings. Post the video online for us to see. But don't butthurt when it only records at 10-15 FPS max.
It sounds like you are the one that posts to hear himself talk... and hear himself flame other users for no reason.
