Sure HTC may be dealing with unprecedented shipping delays for its One smartphone, but that hasn’t stopped it from releasing the coveted source code for the anticipated device, as well as the DROID DNA smartphone to the general public. This means that all of you fiddlers and hooligans that like to “tweak” the device will finally have one of the major tools necessary to make the phone just a wee bit better. DROID DNA owners will no doubt be happy about this news, but here’s hoping that all One fans will be patient for just a little longer because hey— the wait will certainly be worth it.

HTC’s DROID DNA has earned tons of praise from the Android community, but it’s certainly apparent that all the hardcore tinkerers out there have been itching to get down and dirty into the real guts of the device— and HTC has delivered by releasing the open source code and binaries to the masses. The code is based off Android 4.1 and is specifically meant for developers and should allow for some slight ~~‘modifications’~~ improvements to the device and subsequently, the various custom ROMs out there. This should especially be of major importance to those of you who went ahead and unlocked the DROID DNA’s bootloader as well.

Interested parties can grab the source code (version 1.15.605.4) at the source link below.

For those of you wanting to tinker with the ICS source files for the AT&T and T-Mobile Galaxy S III, I have some good news for you. Samsung just dropped the source for the SGH-I7474M and the SGH-T999V, and can be downloaded through the links below. It’s nice to see that Sammy is keeping their source codes up to date and is offering them before the devices actually launch. I wonder if this means the Verizon version of the source is just around the corner?

Samsung Releases Galaxy Note ICS Source Code, Custom ROMs in Tow

tagged Galaxy Note, Samsung, source code

If you thought the Galaxy Note was nice all on its own, wait until the development community conjures up a few custom ROMs for the kit. Samsung just released the device’s source code so that is exactly what is going to happen, and I imagine the first few ROMs and kernels will pop up in only a matter of days, if not tonight. Based off of the international version of the note, the source code will provide developers all the stuff they need to build a custom ROM and even an overclocked custom kernel. Ultimately this means getting rid of unneeded software and adding performance tweaks and features that generally provides a more awesome experience. Not to say the the Galaxy Note experience isn’t awesome on its own, this will just give you rooted users something more to look forward to.

If you are the developer type, or are simply just curious, hit up the source link below to see what the GNote is made of.
