Motorola has rightly names this Phone as "Defy", the phone was launched with Eclair (Android 2.1) by Motorola and later upgraded to Froyo (Android 2.2) officially. Since then xda community has been keeping this phone alive with all updates from GingerBread (Android 2.3 ) to JellyBean+ (Android 4.3). Hate's off to the XDA team specifically Quarx. The latest addition to these updates is Clock Control of the GPU.
What does this mean?
Similar to CPUs GPU ( Graphics Processing Unit ) is another processor which is responsible for driving display related stuff. It runs on a predefined clock speed. If you can control the clock you can directly control the performance and power consumption of the chip. In real world scenario it means increase/decreased refresh rates of the screen and increase/decrease in the battery consumption of the device.
Currently its still in Beta stage. If you want to have a try check out the builds on or after 17-Sep-2013 here.
