HTC Dev team releases source code for all HTC EVO Design and HTC Hero S

It’s a bit odd when we post more than one of these stories in a week, but it looks like we were a bit misinformed when we reported that HTC has released the source for all of their Android phones. Since the HTC Dev team didn’t want to make liars out of us, they went ahead and released the source for the various versions of the HTC Kingdom (HTC EVO Design 4G and HTC Hero S). After doing some double checking, we can confidently say that HTC is finally GPL-compliant.

The general public doesn’t really gain anything when HTC releases the source code for their phones, but to developers it’s almost as valuable as gold. Now that the code is available, we should see development pick up for the HTC Kingdom.  It may not be as cutting edge as the HTC Amaze 4G of the HTC Rezound, but the HTC EVO Design we played with a while back was the best $39 phone we’ve ever used.

  1. As I pointed out here, it’s not quite GPL compliance until they’re releasing source codes the same day as phones. But yes, definitely something to be congratulated.
