HTC has opened the
source code of some parts of the firmware for the HTC One (M8) Google Play Edition (GPE). This version differs from the standard smartphone almost complete lack of proprietary software and HTC " naked » Android inside.
Last night at the official site HTCDev, created especially for third-party developers under smartphones HTC, appeared kernel source current firmware One (M8) GPE, which is also the starting for this option flagship. Besides them, the company released some files software strapping without which build full firmware for a device is not possible.
Kernel based on Linux 3.4.10, and hence , HTC must fulfill the rules of the license GPL. It makes commercial software manufacturer to publish all changes on the first request of the consumer . HTC traditionally adhere to the terms of this license and place the code almost immediately after the start of sales of the product .
However, this time the publication occurred prior to sending One (M8) GPE customers . As usual , this version of the smartphone can be purchased only official site Google Play, and there is available only until the pre-order page . In reality, the One (M8) GPE gets to customers in a couple of weeks. So files earliest publication was probably a mistake manager because as soon links to the kernel source code and framework missing. However, if you got something in the network, then there will never disappear , because all these data can be found and now , if you have a strong desire .
