HTC Publishes ICS Kernel Source For Sensation, Vivid, Sensation XE

HTC has released the source Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich kernel for the Vivid, Sensation, and Sensation XE. HTC began rolling the Android 4.0 update to these three devices recently, and the kernel will help developers adjust their apps/services to work better on these phones. The code can be downloaded from HTC's developer web site. As usual, for normal users like you and I the source itself means little. But the magic that developers can make happen with it certainly has some appeal, and we're ready to see what folks can come up with.

HTC Provides An Update On Its Ice Cream Sandwich Rollout Progress



HTC has provided some more information on where it's at in the Android 4.0 update process. The company said in a post on its official blog that it's in the "early stages" of rolling out ICS to the Sensation and Sensation XE overseas, adding that the updates for those devices will become more widely available in the coming weeks. Upgrades for the Sensation 4G on T-Mobile and the Sensation XL will follow after that. The rollout is still in its early stages, according to HTC’s announcement, and the update will need carrier approval before it arrives on your handset. So don’t panic if you haven’t got it installed by the end of the week. At least you know that it’s on its way.
