The source code of the HTC One was released recently by the smartphone manufacturer.

The HTC One is the latest flagship smartphone of the Taiwan-based company and with the release of the source code, developers will not find it difficult to create customized ROMs and applications that are specifically designed for use on the device.

The addition of the kernel source code of the smartphone by the HTC Dev Team is consistent with the current practice of the smartphone manufacturer. The release of the source code is beneficial for developers and modders although it will not be rather useful for ordinary smartphone users.

The release of the source code will be appealing for people who are in the habit of rooting their Android devices. This means a number of customized ROM interfaces may emerge over the net in the next few weeks. Aside from the HTC One, the source code of the HTC Droid DNA from Verizon was also released by the smartphone manufacturer.

However, it should also be noted that the source code for the flagship smartphone of HTC was mainly for the Vodafone France and Vodafone models. Despite this, it is still considered a good start since it may not take a long time before the source code for the HTC One that was released into the US market to be made available by the smartphone manufacturer.
