Re: So yeah now HTC admits the 30fps limit is software because of the HDMI port.

For us tweakers, let us have the option to disable it for our gaming and benchmarking funsies.

Until the feature of "what you see on the phone is what you see on the TV" is available, HDMI is kinda useless to me. so let us disable it until we can friggin find a cable at least.
Simpler solution, when you add a hdmi cable, phone says it needs to reboot before the cable is accepted, while the phone is rebooting if it sees that an hdmi cable is attached, cap is enforced at bootup. When no cable is detected at bootup no cap is active. If cable is removed after boot, cab is enforced until next boot with warning message on the screen after you remove the cable.

This way the average user doesn't have to do anything and the only time anyone is penalize is when they use the hdmi cable which for the majority of us would probably be very seldom...
