[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
This is of course just my two-cents on the topic, and is also based solely on my experience with my phone, acknowledging that others may not have the same experience. However, from a great number of posts that I've read, I know that I am far from alone in these observations.

While the following may not have anything to do with the Godzilla-mode, I have tried Virus' releases "Synergy-evo" and "Synergy-Kingdom", as well as the latest Project Synergy+Gozilla-mode released by myn. All three of these ROMs utilize the Godzilla-mode, all three of them produce quite respectable Quadrant scores for those who value that.

I also found all three of the above mentioned, Gozilla-mode equipped ROMs to be extremely laggy on my phone. So sluggish were they that I found each and every one of them too annoying to live with on a day by day basis and away they went. By comparison, the Project Synergy (no Godzilla-mode) ROM and the Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1 are lightening fast in response to unlocking, user input, etc. The AlianceROM RLS2 that I flashed over the weekend is a bit slow compared to the previous two ROMs, but is still far quicker responding than any of the Godzilla-mode ROMs on my phone.

Also, not only did the Godzilla-mode ROMs not power my games better, faster or smoother, I found that two of them obviously inferior to the Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1, while the third was reasonably close to the Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1.

I will say that could smile dreaming of a Kinged Kingdom release, with Godzilla-mode, great Quadrant scores, plenty of power for apps or demanding games, and that's still as responsive to the user as the Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1. But if I can just figure out where all of my internal memory is going, I'm delighted with the Kinged HateSLINGER RLS-2.1 just as it is today.

Related info: as I understand it, Gingerbread was designed to be a more powerful, multitasking Android OS, and as such, all things being equal, it doesn't usually benchmark as impressively as froyo did. I don't care and still prefer Gingerbread's superior balance of resources.

Bearing that in mind, IMHO, shooting for high benchmarks using a huge, heavy Sense 3.0-based ROM on an Evo 4G doesn't make sense. If on wants to achieve high scores on Quadrant, you'll be far more successful going AOSP, and even more successful going old AOSP.

Long ago, the folks at CyanogenMod created an early system similar to Godzilla-mode, but that's probably very different as well. This of course was their Turbo mod. Using CM6 along with a specific one of their Snap kernels, and after applying the Turbo mod, I ran 5 runs at 1190MHz (the fastest my phone was 100% stable at). I still have a screenie from 10/09/2010 of the highest score achieved, 2689, and none were under 2500.

That was a lot of fun, but at this point, to me its all about what's easiest and most pleasant to live with on a daily basis.

Thank you for your time.

Edit: I guess there are still benchmark fanatics out there because I got a phone call like 30-seconds after posting this. I guess if anyone wants to know how to get 2500+ Quadrant scores on an Evo 4G without damaging your phone, and as long as you don't mind old AOSP visuals, PM me and I'll be happy to provide the info. I might have to take a stab at this with newer stuff just for giggles, to see what can and cannot be done.
