So i found the info about overclocking, though its hard to understand (well for me at least.) I was wondering if there was a way to undervolt. I don't care for overclocking, though knowing how would be nice. But if i could undervolt my device to save battery life that would be great.
So does anyone know how, and have detailed info on how?
I'm currently on eclipse ics 1.2.1.

you cant with a locked bootloader because you would have to install a new kernel, it may be possible with kexec once it's been ported over but I don't know when that will be

Did you set up a script to run at start up. I'm not to confident in just going and doing it. Maybe you could give me some exambles?

I installed the 2 zip files in safestrap, installed SetCPU. How do I undervolt this to save battery life? Also I can only choose speeds of 300, 600, 900, and 1200MHz.

You will need to edit the values per the instructions in the rootzwiki link. Heres some reference settings from my device.

Stock voltages (from Moto)
1200Mhz : 61 (1.375V)
1000Mhz : 61 (1.374V)
800Mhz : 55 (1.313V)
600Mhz : 43 (1.200V)
300Mhz : 26 (1.025V)

My Current Custom settings
1400Mhz : 59 (1.360V)
1200Mhz : 47 (1.240V)
900Mhz : 45 (1.220V)
600Mhz(haven't tested undervolting)
300Mhz : 18 (0.950V)

EDIT: Also, I noticed this didnt seem to work well when installing from Safestrap (havent tried recently). May have to extract the 2 files to /system/lib/modules and load manually each boot per the instructions toward the bottom:
Load Modules(this kind of isn't necessary anymore, but none the less, always load symsearch.ko first):

# insmod /system/lib/modules/symsearch.ko
# insmod /system/lib/modules/overclock.ko
