HTC has released the Android 4.3 kernel source code and other goodies for the Google Play edition
of the One. The files, of which there are two have recently appeared on
the HTCdev website. Those files include the Framework Support Files and
Stock UI, which are sitting with notes about how these are kernel
version 3.4.10. Otherwise, these are both software version 3.06.1700.10 and sitting
at 164MB and 99.7MB in size for the framework support files and stock UI
files respectively. Those looking for the Android 4.2 comparison will
find the kernel version has remained the same and the software version
has increased from 2.14.1700.15.
Not that we suspect this will make many HTC One Google Play edition owners that much happier, but you are currently ahead and will likely remain ahead of those who picked up a carrier branded version of the One. Plus, the Galaxy S 4 Google Play edition handset has also yet to be updated to version 4.3. While we hope updates will arrive for both in the near future, officially speaking we have yet to hear anything from HTC, Samsung or Google.
