As we all know that HTC One was announced just a few weeks back & now it's Source Code is going to released in public by HTC. However, It is seemingly surprising that the source code is being released only for Vodafone UK and Vodafone France versions of the new device. But of course, this situation will soon change in the future.
The new source code will be very useful, as it will make the job of the developers a little easy in creating custom ROMs for the phone. It is not necessary to have a source code to create a ROM for that device & there would have been almost no problem if HTC wouldn't have announced the release of the source code. Although, the source code of a device solidifies the fact that the ROM will be fully compatible with the device & will work seamlessly. You all would have seen many ROMs with caveats (warning) & the ROM will not function well with the device. The source code vanishes all these possibilities.
The android version 4.1 commonly known as JELLY BEAN is going to be the first one to receive the code & all the files will be of 100 MB size when it's all said and done. HTC has been releasing the source codes for it's own phones as a tradition & HTC One is only another addition to the long list of HTC devices which have their source codes out in the wild.
If you’re in the mood to grab an HTC One, you can do it right now because it’s available for pre-order on AT&T, with a release date of April 19 on both AT&T and T-Mobile. You can pick up the 32GB model for $199.99 and the 64GB model for $299.99. If you already happen to have HTC’s Droid DNA, the company also announced that the source code for the phone is available now as well.
