Android 4.2 :The New Jellybean

Looks like Google has been out of ideas ,The speculation whether Google will release an new flavor of android or just an update all of this has come to  rest .Google just released Android 4.2 and called  it "The new Jellybean  " Which means its just an update , initially   it seems that the update is not major and Contains features that you can already find in existing 3rd party apps such as inbuilt HDR filter etc  or ideas which where already in use in the developer community such as multiple logins .However there are some update which are pretty much good  apart from multiple logins(only for tables ) such as 
Photo Sphere / Keyboard Gestures: Photo Sphere will allow you to snap photos in every direction
Wireless Display: Android 4.2 adds wireless display to your device
Notifications:Your notifications have been expanded to a degree, now allowing you to take action on each of them with a simple tap. If you’re late for a meeting, this alert will be able to connect you to your contact with a simple call button. You can email everyone in the meeting too – this being just one example of the many different situations you’ll be able to take action on.
Google Now:Google Now has been boosted with several different items and updates

Motorola Defy and Defy+ gets an CusTom KerNel

This week the  Developer who makes are Motorola Defy feel as if it is  an new device i.e Quarx has released  an custom kernel as an part of Cyanogenmod 10 itself .The most interesting thing is that he has managed to load an custom kernel even without unlocking the boot-loader ,this makes the defy even harder to brick
as compared to  other devices such as HTC and Sony which can get bricked much easier because their blootloader's have to unlocked to load an custom kernel. The break through came with the help of an help of  an developer for the Motorola milestone2 who goes by the name "czechop".The custom kernel is preety fast however initially when it boots its laggy however after a little while all goes back to normal .The latest build as released by "Quarx" has been compiled with linaro 4.5 which is an custom kernel developed by the Linaro team which claims to make android even much faster more information about linaro can be found at www.linaro.org .Coming to the custom kernel it is just in its initial stage and lot has to be done , if your just an beginner in the world of android development i suggest you just wait until an stable kernel is released as you can fall in to an array of problems if not flashed properly.Future suggestions given by various members at xda include OTG cable support , fm transmitter capability etc..For an two year old device this is a lot of development .
