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 .
