Hasta La Gadget!

Officially, the HTC One Google Play edition exists for tinkering with an unfettered Android experience. Owners need the code to do that, of course — and HTC has quickly followed up by posting the kernel source code for its Sense-free phone. The release helps developers optimize their apps for the hardware, modify its vanilla Android 4.2 build and produce custom firmware. If you have one of those goals in mind, the kernel source is ready to download at HTC’s developer portal.

As Samsung prepares to release its new flagship to the masses, the company is already making moves to accommodate its open source following. Today, the Korean electronics maker served up the kernel source for three versions of the Galaxy S 4. On tap are two unlocked variants of Samsung’s next big thing (GT-I9500 and GT-I9505) along with Virgin Mobile Canada’s rendition of the handset. Seeing how you’ve already seen the device stripped down to its unmentionables, why not go the extra mile and take a whack at its software? That is if you know what you’re doing.
