And as Flandry said, undervolting rocks . I undervolted my laptop with no issues so perhaps adding, in later versions the ability to set voltages for every 50mhz would rock.
He's trying to provide a simple solution for those who don't want to install a new kernel, so i don't know that those are options.

Well it could look something like:

250mhz... 0.5v
400mhz...1.0v
600mhz...1.5v

And the end user would be able to toggle the voltage while also limiting the clock so he can test the stability.

Overclocking works if a custom kernel is installed so this option could be made to unlock itself for custom kernel users alone IMHO.

Wouldn't overclocking settings simply do nothing for stock kernel?

Awesome app! As previouse people have said it would work will for game, prdoom hammers the cpu and therefore the battery, cranking this down a tad would defo help with battery life.

Bec has a great idea with the voltage options too, would be awesome to have a nice easy setting for both that give the best results for battery and stability, sometimes i have a meeting that could last the entire day with traveling on top and in these cases one would just need a phone, no internet, email or anything like that, would be awesome to set the cpu and voltage to a position where the battery will provide loads of life

question, can I easily crash my phone with this app?

By lowering top speed, no. With the custom kernel and upping speed/lowering voltage, yes.

Version 0.3 is now in extras-testing. Please test it and place your vote!


About the feature requests:
I would like to implement features such as voltage control but I do not want to use a modified kernel on my device. If someone with a modified kernel is able to contribute I would be happy to give him access to the source repository!

Voting is such a mess... where is it?

A direct link perhaps?

Thanks

Be sure to test before you vote, though

Tested and it works quite well so far. Just a question what exactly does SmartReflex do when enabled?

It allows you to save more power . Although Nokia disabled parts of it on PR 1.2 (due to instabilities) this settings should in theory still extend your battery life a little bit.

If you are interested in what SR exactly does: there is some interesting documentation available at the TI website.

Quote from Texas Instruments:
  • Dynamically adjusts transistor performance versus leakage,
  • Dynamically lowers voltages for idle memory bank
