Default [UTIL] PowerSet - Power saving settings replacement

Hi

After some time using orginal Toshiba power saving settings I've found it's terrible slow and upractical using fingers, so I've came with an idea to make simple fast and finger friendly app that will allow me to change basic settings like:

CPU Speed
Wi-Fi speed
Backlight while on battery power

If someone wants to make better graphics for eg. buttons or icon feel free to contribute in this thread and I will think about using them

But I'm not sure how much slower it will be with added graphics
I'm not a good programer... Now loking for a way to control cpu via DVS1: driver so I can disable autoscaling

The app seems to be very useful!

I'll install it on my TG01 after I flash a new Rom on it.

Thanks for that app!

Does limiting the CPU actually make the battery last any longeR? When I had it throttled down, I didn't notice a difference :S

"Now loking for a way to control cpu via DVS1: driver so I can disable autoscaling"

I don`t think `Snapdragon`CPU have the ability to auto scale like `Intel Xscale`CPU can. I used Asus P535 before and I don`t need to touch the CPU setting for high or low CPU frequency it does it automatically, for example if the CPU needs more power it will throttle up and if its idle it will throttle down the CPU automatically.

@BIG K in TG01 it looks like this if You'll set Low performance then cpu intensive apps work slower but battery drain is lower if you'll set it to high then cpu reaches max speed and get's higher battery drain it's good for apps that always uses 100% cpu

@elder T Snapdragon CPU does have autoscaling and can be overclocked (look at Snapdragon Android devices forum and at HTC Leo (HD2) fo HD2 there is app to disable autoscaling and overclock cpu but for some unknown reasons works on Acer F1 and LG Expo but doesnt work on TG01.

Everybody has reported their oc'ed phones overheating. I wouldn't try it even if the app worked in tg01. Many use it to downclock for better battery life in which case we have the toshiba tool. Or nico101's

I think it's possible to add enabling bt and wlan but it's rather pointles cause most of today replacements etc have this function with a quick access and with skins problem is that I'm not a good in making better graphics but if someone wants to do them I can replace ugly buttons with graphical ones

I know about overheating and I know that toshiba have even overheating warning in drivers that can warn or shutdown the phone... But disabling autoscaling and controling cpu frequency can be more exact not only setting our cpu to High perf. so it will autoscale from low to high when needed but making it stay on high perf.
