HTC Finally Releases Source Code for Incredible S, Desire Z and Flyer
Earlier today we reported how there was another campaign launched against HTC on their Facebook page where users have been demanding the source code for many of HTC’s recent releases like the EVO 3D, EVO 4G, EVO Shift, Sensation, and Incredible 2. Perhaps HTC was feeling the heat because it looks like they might be cooperating with the Open GPL requirements — sorta.
HTC has finally making these resources available for developers by releasing the kernel source code for some of their older devices like the Incredible S, Desire Z, and in an unexpected turn of events, the Flyer. While this is sure to appease some of the angry mob posted outside of HTC’s Facebook page, others are sure to keep spamming until they get what they want.
Now that the source code is available for these devices what does it mean to you as a user? Well, take the Flyer source code for instance. This means it’s possible for the ROM or “OS” on that device to be ported over to other devices like the Evo 3D (once we get that bootloader unlocked) or possibly even the Nook Color. Pretty neat, eh?
So, while this is a big deal for folks within the Android modding community with our hacked up, rooted devices, the “rest of you” well- as you were.
