Default [Q] optimized Kernels

Hi, Everbody

First of all excuse me for my bad English. I was a Galaxy s user until my phone was stolen. I am thinking of buying a Atrix, but before i do this i would love to know some things.
On my galaxy s it was very easy to make modification by flash en that kind of stuff. I want to know if this will be available for the artix to ? Manly i want to know if KERNEL modification is possible for faster, compatible, stable, and good battery life. On my galaxys these kernel modification really made a lot of differences. Other points are :

Improving the display or video and sound quality by modification of kernels.

Universal lagfixes Like changing the file system or something like this.

Brightness tweaks

Adjusted kernel HZ value to increase smoothness.

On atrix, the bootloader hasnt been hacked into yet but it is in progress so no kernels as of now. The problems suchs as lag fix and HZ values I feel are not neccesary on this device but I am sure we will see custom kernels soon enough

Motorola has locked the bootloader on this device(and many others) so right now custom kernels are not possible and nobody knows when...if ever.

If you want kernels I would not hold out on the Atrix, it has an encrypted bootloader. This will be very hard to hack, but if anyone could do it it's the devs on XDA. If you want something on ATT that will give you lots of development options go for the inspire or buy another captivate. I bought the inspire and i like it alot. But you don't get the dual core and some other features that the atrix has. I guess you gotta just know what you want, either development or better specs. For me I will always go for the development.

I love development , but i also like the atrix. I get the feeling that motorola is not so development friendly. I'll wait a little longer maybe somebody can change this development problem.
