We haven’t heard that much about the Android 4.4 KitKat update to the Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition lately, though we always assumed that it would be released in a similar time-frame to the HTC One Google Play Edition, and as it turns out, that is probably just about right. Following in HTC’s footsteps in making their kernel source and framework files available for excited developers to download, Samsung have also made a similar package of source files available.
The download comes in at 399MB and of course will be of most use to developers who want to examine what’s changed in the new build of Android, but as with the HTC One’s version, this is hopefully a sign that these files are final and will be incorporated into the Android 4.4 update that will be emerging over-the-air in the very near future.
