The kernel source code for the HTC Hero has been released by HTC, which means that modders can now start creating a phone OS in their own image.

Its obvious that HTC have played with the kernel before, as it created the Sense UI which debuted on the HTC Hero. Now developers can use the full force of their own creativity on the platform, meaning easier to use and much more stable experiences.

If you’re bored with the skins currently offered on the HTC Hero, in the next few weeks it is quite likely that you will be able to download all sorts of new version, how long before the iPhone skin pops up? Source – techradar.com
